Looking to buy an Ebike in NYC
Posted by goldensilver77@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I've been trying to find a way to get an ebike online, but most places (Amazon) won't ship to NYC. Can anyone recommend a place where I can purchase one? Also do anyone have any brands they can recommend? Which brands are the best?
I'm trying to avoid any cheap chinese batteries that can cause a fire. I was told it's best to get one with batteries with Korean or Japanese components.

Check out Macfoxbike — they ship to NYC and I think they have solid e-bikes with good battery. You should check their shipping policy for more details. Also I think they are running a discount code for their anniversary Giving 10% Off. I recently came to know about them.

That's a kids bike. He can pay to have purchase assemble by shop in Nassau County. And use that as delivery address. Like a bike shop in valley stream Just a train ride away

Due to Amazon's rule requirements, e-bikes don't show up properly in stock in some states, such as New York City.
You can purchase MACFOX products.
MACFOX-X1S, which has a UL2849 report from UL Labs. (but the batteries are not Korean or Japanese)
MACFOX-X2, also has a report and the batteries are Korean Samsung cells (but sells for a higher price and the black color is not in stock recently)
You can describe the purpose of your e-bike.

This might sound strange but check if there is a Best Buy near you, they carry Ebikes now namely Aventon check out what they have and even if they can't sell yiu one of their display models they will arrange to have one shipped to you or shipped to the store for you to pick up.

Damn, I was checking out Bestbuy. The closest pick up from my location is 20 miles away in New Jersey.... I guess I'll just have to check for the local stores and see what they have. Thanks anyway.

WOW I didn't know that. I'll have to check and see if there's one around my way. Thanks a lot for this info.

Try Greenpath electric bikes in Brooklyn, they sell many types of e-bikes. You can also google e-bike shops in nyc. Don’t have to worry about shipping, etc.

Ok Thanks I'll check it out.

I would check some of the bigger brands. Lectric, Rad, Aventon all are U.L listed and have partner shops in many areas for repairs.
