After much research and deliberation about getting and ebike I finally took the leap. What Avaris were offering for the price seemed to good to be true. All the reviews indicated this was a good purchase. My decision was based on the reviews, weight of the bike, style and performance. I initially wanted flat handle bars for a more upright position. Anyway I took the leap. Purchase was effortless, bike arrived within 6 x days. Assembly was easy and video instruction was really useful. I have only done about 100 miles since purchase but so far the experience has been better than anticipated. Hills are effortless. Personally this is exactly what I was looking for as I have a dodgy knee that was putting me off cycling. On the flat I have switched the poor off to give me a workout this is the best of both worlds. Completed a 30 x mile route easily with plenty of battery life. This review is early days to test the reliability and quality of the components but as far as I can see (I am by far an expert on bike mechanics) the quality seems great and all parts work smoothly. Looking forward to using this on a daily basis.
