Hi Everyone,
Please forgive my elementary questions. I am brand new to the world of motorized bikes.
I am looking to buy one (not build one) for my 15 mile commute to work each day (I am sick of paying $900 for a parking pass and getting only 25 miles per gallon of gas). I would like something that can travel at ~35 mph, is easy to use (no mixing of oil and gas, etc.), requires as little maintenance as possible and has easily available replacement parts. I am willing to pay more for higher quality.
I am scared by all of the talk about bikes coming from Taiwan/China. Should I be? What brands should I be looking at? Is there a website that lists the different manufacturers and provides reviews of their products?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
george
