I'm running the Buckshot on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad and it's really sweet. I got it from Amazon for less than $40 IIRC.
It has plenty of volume to hear clearly with a helmet on but I can still...

I bought an Optibike Pioneer Allroad last Fall. It has a 24-speed drivetrain and because it's a mid-drive, it's a climbing fool.
I tried a rear hub drive bike first and it couldn't even begin to...

I love, love, LOVE commuting to work on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad. It's a mid-drive eBike so it leverages its 24 gears and it would probably climb a tree if I pointed it at one.
I get to work...

Here is the Optibike Pioneer Allroad that I bought last Fall. I commuted to work and church this past Winter whenever I could. I guess it's time to take the studded snow tires off.

I ride an eBike because I am as old as dirt and in poor health. It lets me commute car-free (even most days in the Winter here in New England) for less than 20¢ worth of electricity per day. I still...

Yeah but the special wrench is also a bottle opener, no?
Nice score I had a dark brown metallic '85 720. It rode like a feather bed. I so miss that steed.

Yeah Sharon:
