Re: Day 6 Electric Bikes

I like the high seat position for visibility in traffic. Looks like it may really be a comfortable ride. Looks like they have a variety of seat types.
I think the bike is a great candidate for the rear hub motor.

It would be nice if they incorporated the battery pack into the frame rather than on top of it.
I think a curved front fork would look better too for some reason.

Thanks for bringing us the latest and greatest Gman!

Re: Day 6 Electric Bikes

I like the high seat position for visibility in traffic.

Well... I've bought a Giant Suede, which also has a lower seat and a pedal-forward pedals. I rather like being able to put my feet down on the ground without having to dismount. I think that makes me a lot safer than the typical bikes where you have to dismount to get your feet on the ground. It seems like such a simple thing, really, safety means when you pull to a stop you want to have your feet on the ground, right? So the bike should make that easy and painless, but for some reason the regular bikes make this hard.

It's also a very different, laid back, kind of riding experience. And now that I've ridden this bike, I realize I've never liked the leaning-forward experience on regular bikes.
