AUBest electric bike ever Best electric bike ever, love it , it’s 1st a real mountain bike, with proper suspension, it looks spaceage , reliable, yet it’s also the fastest and most powerful bike , that looks like a bike.

GBClose, but not quite Bought a used (previously returned) Optibike. It arrived at my house expertly packaged, but lacking sufficient assembly and instruction manuals to make things easy. Over time, I learned how the bike worked (Rohloff hub and proprietary motor/battery), but it never seemed “quite right” to me. Eventually, after quite a few tests and collaboration with Jim Turner (owner: Optibike), I decided to return it. I remain optimistic and enthusiastic about Optibike, yet disappointed this one didn’t work well for me.

GBpro forms as advertised pro forms as advertised the roloff 14 speed hub does take a few miles to'wear in' have got as many as 50 miles out of a charge the fenders are kinda cheesy rear fender was easily broken the front was removed because of clearance difficulties... any mud or gravel would grind between the tire and the fender... changes i would make... gates belt drive the worst problem is parking... bike thieves deserve a slow death !!!

GBTop-of-line, high-powered e-bike; with room for even greater innovation Pro's: Powerful and fast, sturdy and well-built (in USA) with high quality parts; good range and great hill-climbing ability; friendly, excellent and responsive service and back-up (Thanks, Jim!); 8 years and still running strong! Con's: can be unstable due to slightly high center of gravity (R15, especially if using range-extending 2nd battery off seat stem tube); gearing seems too low on my model, for my use and comfort, which makes it difficult to pedal (and work-out) when using power assist at faster speeds (a higher/wider gear range would add more versatility).
