Ebikes are a blast; However, there are a few technical considerations. If you have a shop with knowledgeable and helpful people, you are in a much better situation. Lenny and his staff are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and also very active in the ebike community. As a matter of fact, Lenny and several other members of the shop take part regularly in the ebike forum, sharing their knowledge. The ebike forums are where others recommended Lenny's shop to me - and who best to listen to, than the ebike veteran owners?! This is a big part of what convinced me to go with Lenny's - their great reputation amongst the community.
I first purchased the eflow Nitro for fun, and then a month later I purchased the Stromer ST1 for commute purposes. Lenny's shop offered me MUCH better prices than other shops, which helped me to get in the game. Ebikes are definitely worth their price, but the amounts can be daunting to someone who is completely new to ebikes. Thanks to Lenny's, I was able to get started much more easily, both in terms of finances and also in terms of dealing with the technical side of the bikes.
