As they say, its a minefield out there! The only thing I knew was that I knew nothing! As Donald Rumsfeld (google is god!) said
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
I quickly realised that my knowledge of electric bikes fell firmly into the last category. I now see the job of the senior members here to illustrate the unknown unknowns, and then tell us all about them!
Unfortunately, such is the nature of the individual that if one knew everything there was to know about electric bikes (flecc???) he or she could not recommend the perfect electric bike that would suit everybody.
The purchase of an electric bike (like a car or a computor) is a perfect example of experiencing unknown unknowns. As soon as you buy one and try it out over a reasonable period, you realise that that you didn't know exactly what you wanted when you bought it, and that there is a better one for you out there right now.
