I really don’t see the point in electric bikes currently. Until they improve the range on them and make them much cheaper then they’re not really viable for me. A 100 mile range may be acceptable for someone who just wants it for a commute but for hardened bikers who like a 250+ mile day out it’s pretty useless. Plus they need to add a recording of an engine sound to them to make them a bit more interesting on a ride!
Like you say the range needs to be at least 250 and half the current price,,everyone who has had a go on one raves about them! lollipop stick in the spokes might help
