Noodling around Costco with the kids today, I saw that Genze has their e101 for sale at $1,300 here. I haven’t seriously considered an e-bike, since my commute allows me to drive down to the flat part of Oakland and ride about 4 miles relatively flat into the office. However, I suspect an e-bike could make me a car-free commuter. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with the Genze? Costco has this special for a week, so I have some time to mull it over.

Most of my hill riding would be very steep, but it’s only a mile or so, and this Genze has a pedal-free moped mode for when I’m really pooped.

I test rode a Trek almost a year ago (don’t remember the model), but only very briefly, and I didn’t seriously consider it at the time.
