I officially have a crush on Virginia!
Love my Amego Infinite. 4,000 miles ...less than a year...still going strong...no complaints. I fall into the retired recreation category....lol.
Nice, I'd like to join that category someday too :D thanks for the testimonial, George
Love it! So much fun!
My wife bought two Stromer bikes from Amego (for my 65th birthday) 9 months ago and we can’t say enough about the quality of the bikes, the sales help and the service department. I have been away a lot this year but I have managed to log over 500 km on mine and my wife has put over 1200 miles on hers even though we have only had rain, snow, wind and below average temperatures since October. We seldom used our regular bikes but these bikes are like riding in luxury automobiles. Stromers at half price was a great decision. And the fun is free!
What a great interview! Great Store and Owner!! THANKS!
But the bikes are all illegal to ride on Toronto roads and all of Ontario's roads without the manufacturer compliance labels: www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/driver/electric-bicycles.shtml
@@davids1136 no they are not. There are only a few exceptions like highways and expressways because of the lack in the bike's speed as compared to a car or a motorcycle.
I bought my elby bike from them. I can say Virginia and her staff are amazing to deal with. I had to have my elby serviced and their main goal was to get me back on the road as fast as possible. Also I’ve tried many e bikes and feel the elby is the best and smoothest to ride. Now that they bought them out I’m sure it will only get better. Hopefully their next model will have a larger battery and an off road with a higher top speed.
Great video and very educating regarding stromer
Love my Amego Infinite high step. I am in the "urban commuter" category and use it to commute 20 miles one-way into work. I absolutely love the ride.
Wow, that's an impressive ride each day. Thanks for getting out there on a bike to keep our world clean and our roads more clear :D
Great team! Great bikes!
Thanks so much for featuring this Toronto business! I'm looking for an e-assist bike but I've found it hard to find anything through google. Big thanks to you!
I have bike from amegoe ,elevate and is very good perfect quality thanks to team and Virginia
Awesome place I will be checking it out and doing a video review!
Exactly what I needed!
Look great from California!
Biking is relaxing and fun. We just have regular bikes for weekend rides at beaches and quite streets.
Nice lady and great store. Canadians are so awesome! 🇨🇦
I wish I was Canadian!
@@heidi2604 Not to be a grammar cop but you wish you "were" a Canadian.
Billy you got the last part right. I can confirm that.
I just bought one and no regrets.
What type of lock did you buy?
Epic Cycle In front of the shop! With cute dog
Thanks for this video. I am in Manitoba but I may have just found the shop I will buy from. 👍😎
Gr8 video. Ebike are the future.
Please come to Virginia, Virginia! Charlottesville desperately needs a nice E Bike Shop like yours with a dedicated owner and staff
I sure as heck hope they have good security at that place.. man.. scary .. but anyhow wonderful business.. doing a great job.. ebikes are the future!
Looks like a well organised place.
Yeah, I got that impression. Very nice team members there, I was impressed :)
I've been in this shop during the winter, I test-drove a Surface604 Shred. The lady who helped me out was cool af, they even stayed late for me. I didn't end up getting the bike, but that's Bosch's fault. I put it on a hard gear and pedal assist 1 and it kept jumping to 3.
Hmm, that's interesting. Thanks for the testimonial! Are you originally from Brooklyn?
@@ElectricBikeReview yea i was born there but I've lived in Toronto for a while
That StromerST5 is amazing and so expensive but hey nice bike!
What a nice lady , and the shop was very well displayed .
Yeah, it's cool to have a woman like Virginia in our industry. She's passionate, stylish, and powerful. I had never been to her shop, so this was a treat... and Preston is awesome XD
Wow I see a lot of inventory, there is some history in that store. Now I know where to send customers looking for help with their Binox needs. If I’m every in Toronto I’ll be sure to stop by and say hi
I saw your comment on the other video, it's interesting to see Virginia passing off old BionX stuff. I'm curious what will happen and how their software will work if the batteries expire (like, can they be repacked and still function without the master BionX company?)
ElectricBikeReview.com maybe someone like FTH Power who knows
Nice video
Not only is Virginia is real purty...she's smart, too ! Not to mention ambitious.
Come to St Louis Missouri for ebikes helping an MS guy on 3 wheels, a lung damage guy on DH bike, and a bike shop owner with one leg. Ballwin Cycles. Should be a great interview.
That sounds cool, is it your shop? I've been in "fix it" mode because my web servers are going through an upgrade and there are lots of bugs with EBR lately. This was a short trip, Mikey is going to take over reviews for a bit.
@@ElectricBikeReview No, the owner gave me my first bike shop job 20 years ago. I'm in there ever week or so visiting and tinkering on ebikes. Welcome to come by if you ever are in the area.
Oh my gosh... Virginia, have you ever thought about starting an ASMR channel? I'd be your first subscriber! But apart from that, your store looks amazing! Will visit next time in the 6ix!
When are you guys going to stock up on the ncm plus 29” everything is sold out right now
Court, you were so close wish there was a meet up I could have attended!
Hey William! I have been laying low because the site has some server issues right now, I'm working hard to get things in order and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I packed a LOT into this short trip to Toronto. I know I missed out on stuff... but more good videos are in the works. Thanks for your enthusiasm, sorry we didn't do a meetup ride or anything. I'll keep you in mind for next time and try to put something like this together someday. What do you think the best way to get the word out would be?
@@ElectricBikeReview I would say Instagram, TH-cam and if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet Snapchat. Toronto and area is a great place to ride! I know you're a huge fan of Vancouver... I won't hold that against you LOL. Is there a direct email I could reach you at? Hope the sun is shining where you are :).
Pomeranians are so cute I take mine out on my e bike all the time she loves it
Yeah! Such a happy little creature, I love Preston :D what is your Pomeranian's name?
Her name is Samantha and she's 12 years old
Great video looks like the lady is very passionate about electric bikes. Please could you come over to Yorkshire in the UK and do a vid.
Hi David! Thanks for the request. I'm working hard on some website fixes and server updates for EBR right now. This video (and ~10 more reviews) were all pre-shot. Mikey Geurts is helping with reviews ongoing and I'm also just taking some personal time to stabilize my life and be with this girl I like :)
@@ElectricBikeReview nothing should get in the way of the girl you like not even ebikes.
By the way I have a Claude Butler mountain bike with a Boss super kit installed,still going after eight years and lord knows how many miles.
David
Anyone know how to remove the rear wheel on the Infinite? I know how to remove rear wheels properly but not on an E Bike ! anyone have a link to the service manuals?
My City!
Oh, you missed the website on description :(
Here it is: www.amegoev.com/ :)
How big of an ebike motor can you get to be able to get ebike insurance for toronto roads?
Interesting !
I'm in the market for an ebike so your vids have been very helpful. Have you considered review Emmo bikes? More on the cheaper end, but would love to know what you think of the value with all your experience
Add Elby to the ebike brands carried by that shop. Elby bikes stand out as a good choice for smaller people.
We do love Elby and do carry them. :)
Oh yeah, thanks Don!
This woman is gorgeous!
Did I hear correctly that they will be starting Bionx motor production again soon?
That's what I heard I have a Bionx
You sure did! :)
Hi I’m 13! I am thinking of opening a electric transportation shop when I grow up! I currently have a concession stand buisness!
Greatttt brooo
Hey Court! Coming to Ottawa ? Scooteretti?
Maybe someday?! I'd like to but have been focused on website updates and some server issues EBR has been going through growing pains and I'm trying to be responsible while also keeping it real ;)
U should have bike shop in Mississauga but otherwise good stuff
Where is the bmx
Great Shop Review..! What a great owner.. Did she say that they bought out all of the Bionx after they went bankrupt..? How do they support proprietary motors/batteries if Bionx is no longer in business..?.
Great question, Rob. I posted another video just now where Virginia talked about selling off some of these parts and bikes because they are switching warehouses. It sounds like she's selling at a good price, but I don't know how the batteries and software will function without the main BionX headquarters. I assume they know how it works because they had just installed a kit for a local Toronto delivery rider (who we ran into while eating lunch one day). I think she has answers and keys or something. Would love to hear back if you find out or decide to take it on.
@@ElectricBikeReview If the information to match batteries to controllers is patented, she would have to purchase the patent to get a way around using other than proprietary batteries. It sounds like buying proprietary parts that only work with bionx might only last as long as the part last. So if the Bionx battery dies, you will have to replace the entire system. It would be interesting to find out if she bought the patent with the secretes to understand how to get around this. this is the reason i didn't buy an expensive Bionx system with expensive batteries. I went with Bafang that allows for 3rd party batteries at a fraction of the cost. Batteries eventually wear out, and if you cannot replace the Bionx battery, you're not going far on a dead battery.
You guys have tree weels bike I'm looking to buy in toronto
From kingston not far looking for a good e bike
I have NCM fat tire bike i order it which is worth $2000
WHY CAN’T I LIVE CLOSE TO A GOOD EBIKE STORE 🙁
Where are you from? Maybe it's time for you to open a new shop :D but yeah, I feel ya.
ElectricBikeReview.com KANSAS CITY MO.
My sentiments exactly!
I would like to go for a ride to but not on the scooter damn she is beautiful
hlo brother i have electric bike but i want to export to canada please help
Stromer price is overkill and yet. it still doesn't use mid-drive motor.
Which one are you talking about? Amego has some of the ST1 models with upgraded ASI controllers that are very awesome and priced well :)
Want some good speed..Really good range...Not spending 5,000 on a pedal bike..😊
I wanna buy something would do at least 40~50km/h with 4x20 fat tire
Preston is so cuite
I've been chased down hard twice now by people in cars after midnight on my ewild. What's next a bullet for my fat bike? Please give advice on bullet proof vests not kidding. Good thing my bike flyes to 50km.
Do you need a bicycle machine?
Hipster Capitalists all have the same voice inflections regardless of country of origin!😂
I got no interest in bikes I 'am only watching this strictly for preston 😍
TH-cam giving free money. Ahh tahh
I'd choose Rad bikes over Amego all day. I don't know why uber partnered with Amego.
hey man, can u do me a solid, when doing female interviews, can u keep the gopro a little on the distance please...
why?
@@myavo why not
@@matelslug1 I was just trying to understand "keeping the distance on females when using the go Pro'' to paraphrase
..that's all..
was thinking the same thing bro...lol
thats the fakest smile ever! Everything in T.O. is twice the price as anywere else..... you can order a Sur Ron direct,... you dont need a hipster to do it for ya and jack the price.... the Sur Ron MX threw Luna Cycle is $3900 but if you order it yerself its $2600 plus $300 shipping ( from China )
Horrible customer service ,unqualified staff They will do and say anything in order to get your money … Buyer beware
Don't let the smile fool you horrible customer service.BEWARE
Her "South Cali" accent needs some work.
Yeah, I'm not sure what her accent is. Virginia travels a lot but was raised in a smaller town outside of Toronto... I think this is like a mix of friendly folksy and some cool girl chill style plus a bit of global influence :P
@Kay Flip thanks for your feedback
Bikes are ok but I bought 3 bike off this Amego store 1 Stromer st1 2 infinite biggest regret cause every time Needs a repair you have to book an appointment long wait charges $$$ a lot service sucks I would never ever buy any more bikes from this fucked up !! 👎
