I have been reading endless sphere for the last 3-4 years dreaming of buying or building an electric bike. I now own two Vintage Electric Teacker’s. I have always been surprised to see the lack of interest and post about these great bikes. I have fully customized one of the trackers replacing or painting every part except the frame. I have owned the bike for a year and enjoy riding as much as I can.
There are plenty of posts about the price for the bikes. You are paying for their frame, a small boutique US brand, and r&d over the years. You can buy the motor controller and build a battery for ~$1500 but you can’t find a frame like this one. And you still need all of the other parts and assemble everything. Shout out to FUTR though for making a great option. (I still want to build one of these)
I hope to find some other owners out there and share tips and information. Also anyone looking to get one of these bikes, let me know if you have any questions.
