We have an old clunker truck and it finally gave out so instead of putting more money into the truck which my husband was using to go back and forth to work we decided to get this electric bike.
The trip is about 8 miles round trip and it took about 20 minutes for him to get to work on this street legal electric bicycle. He loves it.
He has added a rear view mirror and a saddle seat both are available at walmart. He has not yet come home without the bike still showing FULL charge. He is about 200 lbs and he says he only has to peddle a little when going up hills to assist the motor.
Top speed is around 20 mph. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to recharge. He also added a small tarp 6x8 which he has strapped to the back in case it rains or looks like rain he can quickly throw it over the bike to keep it dry.
The other nice thing about this bike is it's size, weighs about 50 lbs, not too heavy, and it folds down easy so you can put it in the back of your suv or car. That was the main selling point for us as we needed something we could transport when needed like if it starts raining I can pick him and the bike up with no effort.
As far as putting it together, it was a breeze. It took him about 30 minutes from box to built. There is very little you have to do. You have to put on the front tire, connect the brake cable, put the handlebars on and the front fender and boom your done.
My husband loves his 2008 I-Zip EZ Go Hybrid Electric Bicycle and says he doesn't miss the old truck at all and we are really loving not having to buy gas for it. Hope this helps your decision !
