Looking at the Haro Solum and Breezer Greenway. Anyone have any experiences with either? I hope to make a purchase this month.

Pulled the trigger. Went with the Breezer Greenway. And I am loving it!

Wonder if you purchased it at Performancebike, the only place that sells them in the "OC", AFAIK. Seems like they pulled the plug on the company, and any warranty issues need to be resolved with the manufacturer, which will be a stretch since most of their bikes are just "brand names" owned by some major conglomerate. 30% off on ebikes in my LPBS (on the way up after Christmas since they're supposedly shutting down in February).

I did get it at Performance. It was such a good deal, I couldn't walk away. The way I understand it, Breezer is owned by Fuji so I expect to get any issues resolved by a Fuji dealer. I'm assuming that Fuji survives. Of course, I'm really hoping that I don't have any issues to resolve!

I hope that your bike is perfect too. Out here Fuji is another of the "house" brands sold only by Performance AFAIK. You might go to the dealer and get some phone numbers just in case. Also, if you have any points, use them up rapidly. Out here you can't "redeem" them at the store, only online.

The word here is that the online store will survive this but all of the brick and mortar stores will close. We have multiple independent LBS's that stock Fuji here. Of course that could change quickly, but who knows.

I put a Transit rack on the back with a trunk bag. My other bikes all have handlebar bags but I thought I would try something different. I don't have a light yet. Hoping to get one that plugs into the Shimano Steps system.

I wonder if those brands are made by Ideal? https://www.bicycleretailer.com/indu...l-ideal-appeal

Fuji, Breezer, SE, maybe Kestrel appear to be part of the same conglomerate (as well as Nashbar, owned by Performance).

Yes, Kestrel is there as well. I don't know if Ideal has been making these or not. I wouldn't doubt it.
Took it out for a 11 mile ride yesterday and it did great! I'm hoping to get out more before winter sets in. I'm not much of a cold weather rider.
