I have rented this bike and it seems to me that it has the weakest rear brake I have tried on any bike hands down. I don’t consider a rear band brake as a quality part. Pedego claims that their Comfort Cruiser uses quality parts. Are the spokes stainless steel? Since it does use a larger wheels does track better compared to smaller wheeled bikes? One of my main concerns is, since it uses 28″ wheels, is there more of a chance of the spokes breaking compared to a 26″ wheel. And I am glad it has a geared motor hub for more power. Since some time has past, what are your impression on the City Commuter? It looks good and has quality brakes. It sounded like Pedego was really laying on the hype to you. I am interested in the Pedego City Commuter. Let us know how they are and how the two of you like them if you get them. Shop around to get the best value for your dollar. Remember, don’t buy something just because the price is low. That way if there is a problem, it can be dealt with while they are still under warrantee. If you get them through the web, make sure they get assembled correctly (not hard as they are usually 90 percent assembled), and that you ride them quite a bit at first to make sure they are in good shape and problem free.

The mountain bike looks a lot like what might be called a generic E-bike.

It is always best to buy an E-bike from a local dealer, but we all know that is not always an option. I just looked at their website and they look good. I haven’t heard of them til now, but that is not surprising, as there are so many E-bikes companies and E-bikes on the market. Hi Mike, thanks for looking up my blog and pitching in with a question.
