Costco is selling a e-bike for $1,200
e bikes are great
The thing flies. If I pedal fast enough to keep a top speed and full throttle, I run about 30mph. For this reason you must have hydraulic disc brakes and know street conditions! A pot hole at 30 mph on a bicycle is very dangerous. Regular caliper brakes will not do much braking at 30mph.
A bright strobe running light front and back is a must. I also have a GPS.
Did you buy one from Costco? I've been looking into buying an e-bike, or converting mine. Conversion, about $600. Buying, $1500 to $3000. So if Costco is selling for $1200, that's a bargain. Will look it up to see what the range is. I understand that the law in California limits them to 20mph or so. Therefore you have to mod it to increase the speed and range (and try not to get caught).
