Seeking opinions about electric bikes
Hi,
I want to buy an electric bike for commuting to work every day, ~ 4 miles one way. I saw Pepboys Auto is selling APC Electric Cruiser Bike for $249. I am wondering if anybody has experiences/opinions about it. Thank you very much. |

Unless you have a disability, you should consider a regular bicycle from a real bicycle shop. For $400 you could get a real bike that would last 20 years with few problems. A $250 electric bicycle sounds to me like trouble waiting to happen. Alan |

Some places electric bikes/scooters etc are not permitted on the roads. Regular bicycles are permitted on the roads. Janet |
