Updated picture of my Matte Bark Electra Cruiser 1 . I changed out the rear cog to a 24 tooth . I spin out around 11.5-12mph . Awesome for spinning up the small hills in my neighborhood.

Just finished assembly and a 15 mile shake down ride on a BikesDirect Special: Gravity SaltyDog:
I'll provide a more detailed review of the assembly and riding impressions later tonight.

How about that review? I looked this bike up on bikesdirect.com Tempting for $200! I see for $20 more it's available with F/R hand brakes.
What is the weight on this bike? Is that website safe? Looks sketchy.
Thanks.

^ The review is in a separate thread. The bike as delivered is about 29 lbs. Never had an issue with BikesDirect website but I only use PayPal when ordering anything online.

I bought a Mountain bike from them a few years ago and didn’t have any problem . Went through PayPal . But Safari tells me now , the website “ not secure” That doesn’t mean it’s sketchy , it just means it could be , because information isn’t encrypted.

I really like the look of an IGH my Moto 3i looked so clean, but they are so much more expensive than a derailleur setup and without the available range.
