    Any Recommendations for Commuter Bike?

    Well after more helpful comments, the Cytronex is back on the radar! It certainly won't be a big issue to charge the battery at work.

    Any Recommendations for Commuter Bike?

    Hi guys, I'm new here and also new to electric bikes so I'm looking for some advice. My situation is that I'm looking to use my commute to my company's new (and closer to my home) office to improve my fitness. The journey is roughly 8.5 miles each way but does involve some long hill climbs...
