E-bike products and scooters Cycling Without that Pesky Peddling | Page 16

Whatever you decide to go for whether it is a full powered or power assisted bicycle
or an electric scooter you will want to buy a good brand from a reputable dealer.
Although electric bicycles are low maintenance as they have a DC electric motor and
a solid state battery to worry about having a local support and servicing center in
your locality is advisable as you don’t want to be shipping the bike or scooter back
for warranty repairs. For example in canada there is a company called epic cycles
that have an online ecommerce website where you can buy and have shipped free of
charge a wide range of electric bicycles, electric scooters and accessories. But
importantly they have also a wide dealer network with support and service options
available. However, if you are a more DIY type of person they also have extensive
FAQ and support service advice on how to perform all the maintenance tasks. This is
an example of the type of extensive after sales support and services you should be
looking for when buying an electric bicycle or scooter.
