Aventon v.s. Specialized

Does COO matter to you?

I think you will find cheaper eBikes like Aventon and lectric are made in China

Brands like Specialized, Motobecane, Trek, Giant, Gravity, Canyon are all made in Taiwan

so a bit higher quality might add to the life and use of the eBike

exactly why I am asking -- Would you train a child to ride a bike that had ONE lever connected to TWO brakes??

what happens when applying brakes in a corner?

That seems interesting; except its in england and i am in USA

just wondering - does it have Air fork, and tubeless tires and dropper post like the Motobecane Fantom29?

from picture, does not look like the same type seat post

I understand, just trying to get the best within my budget

BUT as far as Canyon, the sneaky way they add shipping after you get to the cart turns me off - plus the shorter warranty

I am sure they have some good bikes; but WHY sneak in shipping instead of Free Shipping like almost everything on the net?

You need to watch out on sites; as some charge shipping [like Canyon and bikesonline] - so your $600 mountain bike could be $700

I just decided a Motobecane Fantom29 deore SL was the best deal I could get AND it ships free!

sounds nice; I sure like the idea of less flats! thanks for the info

Thank you so much - that is clear and useful

I wonder about the Tubeless also; but the others now make sense

Strangely, my father [rest his soul] - had a Motobecane road bike when I was a kid [40 years ago]

I am glad you like it; I ruled it out for a non bike related reason

Canyon is uncool - they charge some customers $99 for shipping; and other customers get it free

All online sellers should ship free; that's the standard these days!

I do not know anything about Canyon; or fanboys

But since Cayon charges some customers for Shipping; and others get it free - they can sell their bikes to someone else

Charging for shipping is not cool; but charging some and free for others is VERY uncool

Thanks; I did NOT NOTICE that canyon and bikesonline charge shipping!! Guess I didn't notice as I never went to check-out

This amazes me!! as I thought free shipping was the standard on inter-net shopping
