I am looking for an alternative mode of transportation to and from work. I work about 30 miles from home. I plan to make the ride home a nice training ride. The problem is I don't want to get to the office all sweaty in the morning. So I am seeking an ebike that will work for me. So I am looking for:
- an ebike I can turn off the e-part and get a good workout
- low maintenance
- easy for a local shop to work on when there is maintenance
I am leaning towards either the Trek Super Commuter+ BS or the CrosRip+. The reasons are Trek is a big name so I assume they will be reliable and if there are issues, I can take it back to the Trek dealer in town to get it worked on. The dealer I am thinking of doesn't have any ebikes that I know of, but he is a good guy and a long time Trek dealer, so I figure he will get any and all the assistance he needs from Trek. What are some other options I should consider?
