    electric bike

    looking to buy an electric bike (no gas), any suggestions for a reliable brand besides giant?

    what about places to buy and prices. looking to spend less than 2500, is this even possible?

    For that price you could maybe buy a duel peddle and electric bike. They are very common in mainland (especially once you get out of Shenzhen a little). I don't these are technical legal in Hong Kong or Shenzhen however. Not even in Sheung Shui have I seen people riding them.

    If they were I would certainly have one.

    I believe they are illegal in HK.

    But there's LOADs of illegal e-bike in Mainland: similar to scooter ~50 km/H :-)

    Question electric bicycle/regular bike for use in Discovery Bay

    I was wondering any of the folks on this post know where to buy an electric bicylcle that you can also peddle like normal bicycle. I intend to use it on a bicycle path in Discovery Bay. I don't need to be street legal. I just need to make it up this big hill near my house.

    Any help on where to buy one is appreciated!

    Thanks.
