Good Morning.
I was wondering what you guys think about electric bikes?
The best out there seem very expensive (£1700) but not too heavy (20kg) and able to go almost 50 miles on one charge without too much pedaling.
Do any of you frequent the pedelecs forum?

I'm wondering where all this is going. To me electric bikes seem like the future of public transport. I think many people would use an electric bike for their daily commute if they were reasonably priced, light and able to go far on a single charge.
Alas, that set of circumstances seems quite far off. It astounds me to be honest that electric bikes are so expensive.
For example most only have 7 gears! Surely for us experienced cyclists, many of which can go quite fast for a long duration, it's very important for us to have a large range of gears if we're going to have assistance in pedaling!
