DEALS DEALS DEALS

get her a bigant. show her that you care.

tbh the bigant is a bit harder to fit on this than a clydesdale and sup wanted her bigant on the rear rack, but

if I lived in Pasadena this would be 0.25 bongs, very surprised CARB didn’t pick Los Angeles to pilot the statewide incentive program.

lol I already forgot, am dumb

I’m not sure tbh. I think it’s all done at check out? I can’t really find a straight answer online

I know that here in Austin, the rebate is through the energy company so you have to have an account with them and file some paperwork after purchase

From here
The incentive program will allow e-bike buyers to get a $300 point-of-sale rebate regardless of their income. Individuals with lower incomes can receive rebates of up to $1,200. Households with incomes at or below 80 percent of their county’s median income would qualify for the higher rebate.

Oh, I saw that but glossed over the details. Sounds easy enough.

REI has their padded liners back in stock after a long absence, if you’re a fan like I am, and they’re on sale

Any reports from 6’+ folks on general leg space? Curious if it feels scrunched.

Reach feels short but there is a shitload of seatpost. I only derped around the driveway tho. I don’t anticipate being the primary rider on this thing. But it is exactly what I wanted in terms of pedal assist, fit range, price.

I feel like I should buy one on principle

I don’t actually know if I have enough time to tell you anything useful. I’ve never had a bike this upright, but so far so good. I’ve got a long torso at 6ft, so the short reach works for me. Stem up-ability is near its max on mine, but if you’re lanky you should be ok.

Side note: a normal u lock will not fit around the rear rim and tire.

My idea of waiting until the end of the week to test ride REI ebiek may not be working. Of the two stores, only one is showing anything in stock as of this morning and only in black. Hopefully they’ll have something left early tomorrow.

Ours has arrived at REI but we’ll see how long it takes for them to build it. Would like to pick it up tonight but won’t count on it.

I was at REI for something totally unrelated yesterday and it was pretty wild. I was in there for 15-20 minutes and they sold at least 2 of them in that timespan.

There was a huge pile of them in the bike area that were probably online orders.

It’ll be tempting to wait a month or so and see if you can pick one up even cheaper when people start returning them because they aren’t using them

At the stores I’ve been checking, they’ve been showing 2-3 days to build. Hopefully it won’t take that long for yours.

We’ll see. Would like to get it before the weekend but postponing NBD is NBD.

The legislation was passed for WA state but the program hasn’t been implemented yet. None of the e-bike stores or REI have any details. It sounds like they planned to make it at time of purchase at brick and mortar stores but it’s unclear. With REI having a 1 year return policy it might be worth picking one up and hoping for a post purchase submission option.
