Rumor has it that Best Buy is heavily discounting A2bs that are in stores. While I think it's a well made bike, It seems more of an electric scooter than an ebike. Don't know much about the IGO.

If the battery in the IGO is really a LIPO I hope you've studied the charging/discharging requirements. This isn't a plug-in and forget chemistry. A 1000 cycle life sounds more like LifePo4 batteries. Good LifePO4 batteries with the range suggested weigh more than 7 lbs. I hope it's what they're advertising but it seems suspect.
