I recommended this bike a while ago, the Cannondale Compact Neo. I take it back; reliability has been awful. Currently on my way back to the shop with it and then I’ll sell it. #EBikes #Cannondale #BikeTooter

@marcprecipice @dr2chase ah phooey, I'm sorry to hear that it was a disappointment. Thank you for sharing that info though, I will relay it to a friend who is shopping around this season for a compact affordable e-bike. The negative signal is very useful.

@gnomon @dr2chase yup. I don’t have a *great* recommendation for an affordable compact right now. Maybe the REI Generation e1.1/1.2.

@marcprecipice @dr2chase I'm trying to convince her to go for either an electric Brompton or a Tern GSD but so far no luck

@gnomon @marcprecipice @dr2chase I very much like my Tern Vektron. It’s fun to ride, and folds to easily fit in my tiny Fiat 500e. I only have 200 miles on the bike so far. So can’t vouch for reliability.

@bwbeach @marcprecipice @dr2chase noted, thank you for sharing the anecdatum! I may ping you in a few months to see how your opinion has held fast or changed after putting some more circles on those pedals!

@bwbeach oh dang, you work at Backblaze? I absolutely love your yearly data reliability reports!! Thank you 10e6 for those!
