Do I know any #ebike #ebikes people?

After more than a year of debating it, I'll be joining the cult this weekend, getting a Portola for local appointments, errands, etc, instead of a second car we can't afford and wouldn't use often enough to justify the expense.

It's certainly not the ideal weather for it, but it'll only get better in the Spring and beyond.

@glecharles I need to get one by March; sadly, there's nothing near me, so it's going to be a matter of praying the thing works out of the box.

(not feeling very optimistic, alas)

@herhandsmyhands Good ones aren't cheap and so many cheap ones are dangerous, it's tough to find the right balance. I think I found the right one for me, but wish I had the budget to get one from our local store so I could see it in person first. YouTube and Reddit were really helpful for identifying reliable brands, though.

@glecharles There seem to be a few reliable brands within realistic reach for me. We'll see how it works out.

And good luck to you as well!
