Ran across this eBike business in my "other" home area.

Like most resellers, 'doubt they have LiPo in stock but the NiMh Cannon kit looks pretty decent for the money. Cool vids showing up on Youtube as well.

Nice bags/accessories, etc... I like their recent recumbent effort too. Anybody deal with these folks yet?

I like it. They even converted a Rockhopper which is what I own. I may just have to pick one up. I'd probably need two of the NiMh batteries for my commute.

I spoke with them today. I believe her name was Silke. Very nice person and very helpful. I would recommend them just based on my 20 minute conversation. I can tell that they really care about their consumers. I initially intended to purchase a Crystalyte Journey kit, but they only have 24" kits in stock and I need a 26". They won't likely have more until end of August and I'm interested in getting one as soon as possible. I'd certainly like to give them business though. Some of the others I spoke with didn't offer nearly as good customer service. I'm leaning towards a Crystalyte kit with a Lithium battery from another vendor simply because they have it in stock.

thanks for the feedback. If you can find motors/batteries in stock - buy quick because there ain't much coming outta China for a while.

Guess I'm gonna wait til next year to build a new cruiser when stock should be up and lithium packs better and cheaper.
