Bikes: GT Transeo & a half dozen ebike conversions.

If you were a former biking enthusiast, I think you wouldn't care for this bike, People who haven't ridden for years, on the other hand, don't have biking expectations, and will find fat tire bikes a lot of fun, Their tradeoffs are that they are heavy, very hard to pedal if the battery is flat, and the knobby tires are loud on pavement.

Fiido has been importing ebikes for as long as any other importerin this new business. For the price, I think it's fine. If you're able to do your own maintenance, and I encourage that, the bike parts are inexpensive, easily sourced and replaceable, It is not that hard to keep wheels reasonably true. If you want street tires, they can be installed. Put on a radio, play your tunes, and they're fun for pavement cruising.

Also an old guy, and I've had a fat tire ebike since 2016, but have migrated away from it. I've only used it a few times a year now, If it were my only ebike, of course I'd ride it more often, but have found I prefer riding light weight ebikes. .
