Thinking about buying this bike but not sure if that is a good buy. I do see some of the disadvantages of e-bike which I have posted in the description.
The iGo eXtreme Electric fat tire bike is a fully capable all-purpose riding machine. It’s multi-purpose hydroformed alloy frame is both comfortable and agile, and can handle itself well on a snowy day, a muddy climb, or a casual ride in the street.
Well, electric bicycles offer the same great benefits as traditional bicycles including cost savings (no licensing or insurance required), improved health and connection with community. The real advantage to ebikes in my view is efficiency in climbing hills or fighting the wind combined with better range.
Some of the disadvantages of e-bikes include:
E-bikes are overall pricey;
Battery has a rather short lifespan;
Battery charge time is long;
Riding range remains low;
E-bikes are considerably heavier;
Maintenance and repairs are costly;
E-bikes tend to have low resale value;
