Electra continues to get it right.
Electra is getting better and better at constructing ebikes and this is the best one yet. The frame is quite stiff, which is generally good but you'll feel every bump in the road. I added a suspended seat post, which helps. My bike had a bent fender and chain guard when it was delivered, so a close inspection of a new bike is a good idea. Overall, the bike is quite comfortable and fun to ride with great brakes and smooth and accurate shifting.
Bike department is the best!
