WHY OPTIBIKE
I needed to reduce my time cycling to work as I could get more sleep. I could have brought a scooter but I want the training value. I have looked at a lot of electric bikes and none of them were fast enough or had the distance. I then clicked on to the optibike.com website and that impressed me, however at that time there was not an easy way to get hold of one and they cost a fortune. So I went back to trawling the net again but still kept coming back to the Optibike web site, it was here that I found out that Team Hybrid were importing the bikes.
Lets face it you could by a car with the amount of money it costs to buy the Optibike. however everything on a car is going up from the cost of fuel, tax etc. I am happy with my car so it can do another year. (I hope)
For this bike to pay for itself I need to do a year and a half of travelling to work, however I also go and see friends on it as well so it will be shorter than that.
BUYING OPTIBIKE
I approached team hybrid but at the time the bikes were not in the country so I had to wait. I was still nervous about the money and was looking for something cheaper. Fuel prices went up again desperate to get some more training, I had a rush of blood and put a deposit down on it.
