Opinions on R Martin electric bikes?

Question

I was thinking of ordering one and I was hoping to find some one who has experience with them.

Answer 1

I own the R Martin EVD, which is not a bicycle.  However, I can tell you that the company is good.  I've contaced Randall Martin himself several times via email to ask questions about the EVD, and he's always responded quickly and been very helpful.  The EVD is also a good quality vehicle.

I've also owned an electric bicycle (not R Martin), and it was fun to ride.  Sort of a mix between an electric scooter and bicycle.  Some things to keep in mind are weight (lighter is better), range, and top speed.  The heavier the bike is, the harder it is to ride without electric assistance.  So if the battery runs out on you and it's a heavy bike, you can be in for a tough workout.

Feel free to email me via my profile if you have any other questions.
