Electric bicycle - which one?
« on: February 19, 2018, 01:32:01 PM »
After seeing how popular electric bicycles are in Israel, I want to get one but know nothing about it and am looking for recommendations.

First rule is DONT TRUST ANY SELLERS!! They all have a different agenda & no matter how recommended they came from others, take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Officially Magnum is the highest quality bikes. Cobra is a newer company & from what I’ve heard faster bikes but not as good quality. There are many other companies, but these seem to be the top two.

That’s some basic info I got from shopping around a bit. Good luck.

These sound cool. What's the average sell price?

Speaking of which.

Are there any places that rent these things in Israel? I often find that I would be better off taking a train from and to the airport, and doing all the rest of local getting around on an electric bike.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The 2 companies I mentioned are about 4500 - 5500 shekel, depending on the model.
