optibike. A great bike Great bike We have 2 in family 1- 1100 and 1 -850 Had for over 5 years and great bikes with no issues. I still get over 20 miles on my batteries too. I talked with service at optibike and they answered phone and solved my issue. Thanks you Optibike - the bike that saved me

Optibike is reliable biking partner; builds high quality bikes A year ago I found Optibike and decided the best bike for me was the Rocky Mountain Commuter. It arrived July 31, 2018 in perfect condition and after a battery charge I began a summer of great rides on the hills and trails around Madison, WI. The bike came with every useful accessory needed; LED headlight, integrated rack with removable pannier, rear view mirror, bell, fenders, tail light, comfortable seat, and a powerful 500 watt mid-drive that handled every hill I encountered. Owner Jim Turner managed all the details in developing my purchase, and as an added bonus shipped me a free second 37 V. Li-ion battery. I get lots of comments from other riders about the attractiveness of my Rocky Mountain Commuter bike. I am very pleased with with all aspects of my purchase and riding experience with my RMC Optibike.

Close, but not quite Bought a used (previously returned) Optibike. It arrived at my house expertly packaged, but lacking sufficient assembly and instruction manuals to make things easy. Over time, I learned how the bike worked (Rohloff hub and proprietary motor/battery), but it never seemed “quite right” to me. Eventually, after quite a few tests and collaboration with Jim Turner (owner: Optibike), I decided to return it. I remain optimistic and enthusiastic about Optibike, yet disappointed this one didn’t work well for me.

Optibike - High Performance eBikes Optibike - High Performance eBikes I bought my first Optibike (OB-1) in 2007 when I recognized that hub-motor eBikes do not work well on hilly terrain. Today I use one elite Optibike for commuting (22 miles RT) and another for off-road use (R15c). Both the machines and support team have been very solid and responsive. In summary, I have incredible respect and admiration for this entrepreneurial company. Christopher Pederson Las Vegas, NV

Top-of-line, high-powered e-bike; with room for even greater innovation Pro's: Powerful and fast, sturdy and well-built (in USA) with high quality parts; good range and great hill-climbing ability; friendly, excellent and responsive service and back-up (Thanks, Jim!); 8 years and still running strong! Con's: can be unstable due to slightly high center of gravity (R15, especially if using range-extending 2nd battery off seat stem tube); gearing seems too low on my model, for my use and comfort, which makes it difficult to pedal (and work-out) when using power assist at faster speeds (a higher/wider gear range would add more versatility).
