The Optibike Argon is an awesome e-bike Optibike is focused on quality, customer satisfaction, and amazing customer service. I purchased this bike after many hours of general research and after narrowing it down to the Argon, a few Q&A sessions with Jim Turner himself locked in our decision. My wife is completely satisfied with her new bike as it allows her to ride more with me on longer/faster rides. I feel the reason the Argon works for us is that we had a clear picture of how we expected to use it. Our expectations were to focus on the e-assist capability; the weight and battery capacity were major factors in our decision as well. The standard features Jim included in the build increased the value to us after really comparing what we saw at the same price point elsewhere. We live in South Mississippi, mainly flat with some rolling hills, super hot and humid though. I can say so far the battery has lived up to our expectations. Here's a good example, after a full charge we went on two 32 mile rides, after the last ride, the display showed 4/5 bars on the charge with 62 miles on the odometer. We were averaging 17.5mph and she varied the assist from 1-3 depending on the grade. She loves the fact she is riding faster, her technique is transitioning to spinning more, she loves the fact the Argon is allowing her to ride more and as she said, "who doesn't want to burn more calories". Highly recommend the Argon from Optibike.

These bikes still appear to be quiet… These bikes still appear to be quiet the bike with all the low power slow moving Chinese bikes; opti bikes are like a breadth of fresh air. The ride feels un inhibited like you are free in the wind. A couple on road bikes decided to pass me on a narrow dirt trail in which the speed I was doing felt comfortable; they seemed to pass me like I was another slow ebike. The trail went back to concrete and was quiet wider I passed them in just a few seconds and they scoffed at me and stopped. It was very odd but I kept going with a smile on my face and my pedals still like they were frozen in place.

Optibike is the best USA made bicycle… Optibike is the best USA made bicycle company there is Bar non. The CEO (Jim) is super nice and helpful. Customer support is top notch. I like it so much I owned 3 of there bikes. I have The original 400R (10yrs old And still working fine) Optibike, Which lead me to purchase the newer R8 for myself and the Pioneer Allroad For my wife. It’s expensive but is a very good investment that will last you a very very long time. Hope this help those who are on the side line wanting to purchase an Optibike.

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

Optibike is reliable biking partner; builds high quality bikes A year ago I found Optibike and decided the best bike for me was the Rocky Mountain Commuter. It arrived July 31, 2018 in perfect condition and after a battery charge I began a summer of great rides on the hills and trails around Madison, WI. The bike came with every useful accessory needed; LED headlight, integrated rack with removable pannier, rear view mirror, bell, fenders, tail light, comfortable seat, and a powerful 500 watt mid-drive that handled every hill I encountered. Owner Jim Turner managed all the details in developing my purchase, and as an added bonus shipped me a free second 37 V. Li-ion battery. I get lots of comments from other riders about the attractiveness of my Rocky Mountain Commuter bike. I am very pleased with with all aspects of my purchase and riding experience with my RMC Optibike.
