I was walking down the street near work and saw this bike chained to a pole.mnc_017..jpg

I never heard of the brand - www.mncebike.com. Not too much in the way of specs but it's located on Broome street which isn't far from where I work. I'm sure the prices listed are with the 24 battery.

Maybe it would be ok for the Significant Other, who isn't known for biking ability.
