My name is Ron and I live in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. I've really enjoyed searching through the archives and beginning to learn so many things. I use my bicycle for groceries and shorter commutes but am thinking I'd like to also get an ebike for longer commutes or when I have to do a bit more riding that same day. I don't think I'll use the ebike when I'm on the bike trails with my friends.
I'm wondering about a store bought ebike for now. I live in Penticton and aside from Motorino ebikes (the scooter type not the bicycle) I don't see much here. I may have to make the commute to Vancouver (in my car :lol: ) to find something. I did find a website that sells Cabbike1, which looks to be pretty much the ebikes on websites I see all over but for a lot cheaper. Cheap is not always good and I realize that and wonder if this may not be the best move for me except that I see no other dealers close to my city. Hmmm.
I do realize one of the bike shops in town deals with a conversion kit but still wonder if I should just try something a bit ready made for now.
Any thoughts or posts you can refer me to? I did find something on here the other day that was quite good but can't find it now.
Thanks in advance.
