Help me Find a Bike!
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 15:27
Hello everyone,
My name is "NeedABike"
I've been looking for months online and in Arizona for an
electric bike or trik that would fit a 6'4", 250lb guy
and I'm having no luck.
Can anyone out there help my find a bike for me?
or
Can you recomend a dealer in the Phoenix metro area where
I can test ride and make sure it fits me?
please email: list2ullc@yahoo.com with any info you might have.
Thanks
I'm in Phoenix, and I don't know of but one ebike dealer, and I've never been to his store (it's somewhere out west in Glendale, toward the 101, I think).
The best thing I can recommend is that if you like, I might be able to help you convert an existing bike or trike to electric. Do you have a bike you already like?
If not, you could find one at a regular bike shop that fits you, get that, and convert it by one of quite a number of methods.
My stuff is all done with recycled parts, so it looks pretty craptacular, but there are lots of spiffy-looking ways to do it with storebought parts, depending on your budget.
Is this going to be a short-range fun bike or a long-range commuter? Or a cargo hauler, grocery-getter, etc.?
