Heritage Edition Roadster

I'm a longer term customer, on my second Vintage bike, and honestly cannot imagine being without it. I don't own a car, and so use this bike as my everyday commuter, over 20 miles a day. The bike has the right power to feel comfortable weaving in and out of traffic, has the right look that allows good visibility on the road, and of course style. I own a 2023 Roadster and she is amazing. Great bike by great people.

Okay, so I have the Roadster 2.0, and I've had it for just over a year. But what a year it has been! With the rack and pannier bags, it's very practical for running errands. But for excursions, it's a blast! It really does speed along at a good and maintained pace while tackling hills effortlessly. I've also gotten a lot of looks and compliments already! Once, when returning a library book, I got 2 comments less than 5 minutes apart! Sometimes I'm asked, "How fast can it go?" And I like to say, "If another ebike passes me, it's only because I'm letting it!" As I'm composing this review, I'm currently planning on riding across the Golden Gate Bridge and into the Marin Headlands. A few things that I've noticed, though. First, my bike has the original seat, and since there's no suspension on the back, you will have to stop for a break and stand up every once in awhile to get the blood flowing. Also, when it's dark enough, the headlight and taillight will kick on automatically. Me, I'd prefer all functions to be done by me. Be careful in small spaces, since the forks limit the turning radius somewhat. Lastly, the less of a charge in the battery, the more trouble it has with hills, but that's to be expected. But overall, I couldn't be happier with it! I put just under 900 miles on the odometer in the first year, and I plan to keep this bike for the foreseeable future. Oh, and I named it "Argo." If you know some Greek mythology, you'll get the reference.

I have the 72V Roadster. It is fun and effortless to ride. Get the Race Mode option because you don’t want to be limited on what this bike can do. You practically never have to peddle it, and the acceleration, control, and range of this system is impressive. It’s such a beautiful looking bike (so much more than any other out there) that I’m a bit afraid to park it for too long in public, so get a good bike lock for peace of mind. Customer service is top notch and as impressive as the bike.
