I was riding a cheap Chinese ebike for the past year but it unfortunately caught a big crack when I accidentally rode off the path one day. Guess I got what I paid for, but I’m still grateful for that bike for starting me on my bike commuting journey.
Rather than spending that money on another poorly built ebike (and I did have to do *sooo much* modification/upgrades just to make that last bike rideable daily), I decided to invest in a good acoustic bike. This one ticked all the boxes for me since it comes with nearly all you need as a commuter. Not to mention that smooth smooth smooooth belt + CVT drivetrain.
One thing though, I severely underestimated my physical ability buying this. I thought I was good since I always rode my last bike at lowest level PAS, but man I guess I still have a lot more stamina building to do lol

Absolutely best looking and heaviest piece of shit I ever owned. Paid over 1000 for it, sold it for less than $100 on craigslist.
