I got a bike for $549 and I'm wondering if the 26 volt system is good enough. I have a lot of hills around here, tho' the roads are paved. Just thought I could ask for an opinion or two about this bike, please:

I used to use my dads E bike for a while but one day on my way to school three of my spokes came out! made me late for class. I guess it was cheap China parts or something. we decided to sell the thing a while back. But the one you describe seems good for the price. My dad spent over $1,000 and it only went five miles faster per hour than the one you are describing. Plus it sounds like it has a good warranty. From what I know e moto seems like a decent brand based on revews.
