Bought a Pioneer Allroad 4 years ago Bought a Pioneer Allroad 4 years ago, still going strong. Had one problem after 3 years which was fixed quickly and painlessly.

Top-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).

Optibike - High Performance eBikes Optibike - High Performance eBikes I bought my first Optibike (OB-1) in 2007 when I recognized that hub-motor eBikes do not work well on hilly terrain. Today I use one elite Optibike for commuting (22 miles RT) and another for off-road use (R15c). Both the machines and support team have been very solid and responsive. In summary, I have incredible respect and admiration for this entrepreneurial company. Christopher Pederson Las Vegas, NV

Jim Turner is an amazing human being… Jim Turner is an amazing human being and I thouroughly enjoyed giving him my business for electric bikes. No other seller I encountered came close to being as knowledgeable as Jim, as well as able to share that knowledge at a beginner level.

There is no better company that builds… There is no better company that builds a better bike, along with support along the way. 9 years riding optibike. Phil Georgiou
