Anyways, it looks simple and kinda normal - I like it.
Has anyone used one of these or sells them? I saw them today in person and they look nice. I would put her battered old Brooks saddle and a more swept back bar and we would be rollin! Are they good bikes?

It has a Bafang hub drive motor and I understand these are quite good? He let me take out a men’s XL to try the motor and it didn’t seem very natural, but that is thr first ebike I have ridden in my size, so it was an adjustment. The thrill is there for sure - pedal and the bike takes off on you . No I am not buying one for myself, but it was fun to see the effect it has on the rider and I think my wife would like it.
