I desperately need transportation after having mine totaled, along with me, by an underinsured cellphone using idiot whos inadequate coverage didn’t leave enough for another vehicle for me. My uninsured motorist coverage maxed out along with my P.I.P. & my personal health insurance had to pay for my final surgery. The disabilities I am left with make walking far difficult but scootering would be perfect!
GOD BLESS YOU for giving someone a chance.

I have been wanting one of these bikes for several years since I had a knee replacement 3 yrs. ago
ALTHOUGH I NEED A BIKE FOR MY AGE, THE REAL QUESTION IS WILL IT HANDLE MY WEIGHT. IS THERE A WEIGHT LIMIT ON THESE BIKES?
I had no idea that there were so many electric bikes. I live in a small town where a bike that is electric would be perfect for running around. I think it would be nice to put a fishing pole holder on the bike and go fishing for the day since they get such great mileage per charge. wish everyone the best of luck.
We got to the coast often and would love to show this off around town! Not to mention all the wonderful areas to ride around our home as well!
