Aventon Level 3 is the value king
Lectric XP4 is so good for the price, folds into my trunk.
Commuting on the Turbo Vado for a year, best purchase ever. Sold my second car.
The Tern GSD replaced our second car, no regrets.
E-bikes are cheating lol
Missing the Specialized Turbo Como for comfort riders
Tern GSD for the kids' school run, life changing 🚲
