best brand of electric bikes image
Joyce Z
I'm thinking of getting an electric bicycle (to save on fuel costs)--does anyone have any personal information on electric bikes or recommendations on which brand?
Would also like to hear good/bad experiences any of you have had and especially what to avoid when purchasing one.
Thanks

Congratulations on considering your ebike purchase. It is one of the best transportation decisions you can make; you will be healthier and have more money in your pocket.
A recent case study:
An 8 mile commute to work, for a employee..desk job,. works out at the gym twice weekly.
has stoplights, hilly terrain. usually picks up odds and ends at store on way home from work.
fairly dry climate, 6 month fairly comfy riding season; mornings 45F or better, afternoons seldom above 90F, usually mid 80's.
married, 1 child, two car family. : Driving in town 9000 miles per year on car #2. Going to cut that in half --down by 4500 miles --- most trips under 10 miles each way.
Car averages about 15 mpg in town so that is an even 300 gallons of gas, figure 3.50/gal... $1050.
not taking the car to work much any more, will save about $100 for six months insurance.
that's $1150. plus an oil change or two,. for $1200.. maybe a little more. Also looses about 5 pounds per month.
what can one getfor that?
You can get a top rated ebike kit a Bionx 350 w 36v NIMH kit for $1200!

Dealer in Denver with service, parts, test rides, outstanding support.
Ok another well rated Ebike is the EZEE brand, Try Seattle or Oceanside:

I support both of these and they are great in all respects.
East coast-- another good guy:

What are the horror stories I hear:
People that dont respect that these are Electric ASSIST bicyles and require you to pedal (but not hard), they treat them like mopeds, and they dont last. (however there are many people that understand that these are e-assist bikes and get 8 + years out of them)
People that overestimate their mechanical ability and try to install complicated kits themselve- yet they could not change a tire.
People that get scammed on ebay by trying to get a bargain on something they know little about.
So good luck. If you do your research, honest about your needs, get references about the bike and the dealer before you buy, you will be happy.
there will be an ebike race In Portland OR. at the end of May. Email me for more info.

How Much is a guitar in the Philippines?
Old accoun
Kinds of guitar like bass, Acoustic, and electric ....How much are they and for instance you want one with hello kitty on it how much would it be and how long is it?
Answer
Well firstly you can really get rat cheap guitars here in the philippines. If your just using it to play or practice for fun then you can get an acoustic guitar for as cheap as 20$. Electric guitars and bass can be had for about 100$.
Again these guitars are cheap, hence you really cant expect much quality.
For quality brands and good quality guitars. Expect to spend about 100$ for acoustic, 250$ for electric and bass.
As for the hello kitty, i dont think they make those here off the rack. You can however bring it to air brush shops where they air brush pictures, images, letters to almost anything (bike, shirts, guitars, etc). Most malls here have shops like that. Probably cost you about 5$ to10$ for that. WIll probly take you a day for that.
Or you can get a sticker from bookstores or toystores.
Ive lived in the Philippines for 25 years now. Since i was born.
