We'll put the full email in the show notes if you want, but here's the summary. Sean used Zygg, which is $189 CAD/month on a month-to-month plan or $129/month on a 1-year plan as well as seasonal discounted rates. Last autumn he signed up for two months to try it out. Sean says, "They delivered the bike directly to my home and all repairs and servicing was included in the price of the subscription. I... My commute is 25km. I tried it on a standard bike a couple of times, but it just wasn’t practical for me (too sweaty!). Switching to a pedal-assisted e-bike was the perfect solution for me. I was able to commute regularly to the office (2-3 days a week), arriving in about an hour and relatively sweat free."And if you're worried about safety Sean added "these bikes are fast, but they aren’t faster than a standard road bike (many of which blew right by me on the way to work each day)."Thanks Sean!https://www.ridezygg.com/bikesToday’s guest:Len Peraltahttp://patreon.com/lenhttp://lenperaltastore.com@LenPeraltaJustin Robert Younghttps://worldsgreatestcon.fireside.fmhttp://www.politicspoliticspolitics.com@JustinRYoungNext guest:Stephanie Humphreyhttp://thetechjawn.comhttps://www.tildeathdoyoutweet.com@TechLifeSteph Hosted on Acast.
