I’m going to be 70 this year. I’ve been a cyclist, primarily mountain bikes, my entire adult life. I bought this bike to help me exercise a troublesome knee & for a short commute. Figured at my age I deserve some comfort. I plan to become car free soon.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, in a city with lots of hills. I had tried my local e-bike retailer. I didn’t have much money to spend. I tested all of the bikes in my price range. The bikes that were powerful enough were too big for me. The bikes small enough for me didn’t have enough power for the steep hills.
I saw a review (many reviews, actually), for the Cyrusher Kommoda. One of the reviews that stood out was not made by a professional reviewer. Just a guy, a little older, a little fatter, taking the viewer along for a ride on his bike. I remember thinking that the guy was moving along at a pretty good clip. I liked the full suspension, the disk brakes, the step through, the sturdy rack & the fenders, which were included. I even liked the matching rims. Oh, and it’s orange. Yum.
The bike had come down in price (thank you!) so I ordered it. Assembly was easy. I can’t believe how fast it is, how easy to pedal up & over the steepest hills. The first thing I’ve replaced on all of my previous bicycles is the seat. The seat on my Cyrusher needs no replacing, I’m pleased to say.
Now I need to find a local e-bike mechanic to keep the thing well maintained, as I hope to ride my bike for years to come.
