I have enjoyed riding the bike, powered and non-power assisted. Though the bike has turned out to be a bit large for me, I have learned to ride the bike without the weight distribution being an issue. The only thing I wish the bike had is a lower gear ratio than what it comes with. Being elderly, that really low gear comes in handy when you need to get up a hill or start from scratch on sand or other difficult services. I have been impressed with the battery's endurance, the bikes ridged design and durability of the bike frame and bike parts. It is a tough bike. There were some initial problems with some of the parts when I first received the bike, but customer service has taken excellent care of me, and I hope this is true for all customers of Cyrusher. Customer service from Cyrusher is one of the best I have had the pleasure of working with. I recommend this brand of e-bike as I have experienced a very well-made bike, excellent customer service and an overall good product.
