I'm considering buying a Vector Typhoon. It seems to fit everything I'd like out of an electric bike, so I'm thinking I might just buy it rather than building up a custom bike myself. I'm not really looking to take on a big project and learn all the details about building up an ebike, so thought this might be a good solution for a fast ebike that I can rip around some nearby trails.
Is this bike reasonably reliable? Is the initial assembly difficult? I believe they ship from Germany and I live in Fremont, CA. Unfortunately there's only (1) person in my area that has a Vector Typhoon and because of the pandemic they're not open to allowing test rides. I'm debating between the:
- Vector Typhoon $5,500
- Vector Typhoon Light Battery: $5,000
30% smaller capacity battery (same power/torque)
Controller fits inside the frame
Battery is removable for charging and transport
Are there any other brands/models I should consider that are roughly in this price range?
