I love my BikeE. I got a great deal on a new AT when the company folded. I've had the bike 3 years and it has over 5,000 miles on it. I've replaced the original tires, chain and cassette, and other than that it's just been regular maintenance. I use it to commute to work 12 miles everyday, and for joyriding on weekends. I don't own a car. My only complaint with BikeE is recumbutt during long rides, over 40 miles, due to the upright seat position and low bottom bracket. I hope to get a bike more suitable for long distance touring soon, but I'll keep the BikeE as the best commuter bike I've ever owned.
