Good on you Dave....

I highly suggest electric.
they are better for the environment , MUCH cheaper to run, and fun too

It's been a year now for me, of solid daily driving this...



and it has been a great deal of fun...
zero repairs ...virtually zero maintenance...
got the torque of a honda civic..
excellent acceleration, excellent disc brakes, nimble quick, turns on a dime.
so as well as hauling a trailer of groceries weighing in at about 200lbs
I can carry a passenger ..
I have loaded it up with girl , cat and dog and headed off on day trips..
the range with a couple extra batts is the equivalent of the range a Tesla has
It takes perhaps 3 hours to charge a batt from a standard outlet and costs about 25 cents to charge..
and the money I have saved compared to a traditional vehicle...this last year now...I could buy 3 of these cycles a year in what I save....

E- Cycles are fun...and worth every penny.
Just get a reliable manufacturer.
There are a few new ones out there...
But I went with a reliable ..
I suggest Super Soco
frankly I suggest one for every member of the family...they are just too fun.
