Just put my order in for the Eva Ribelle, so I can't comment on the wisdom of my decision yet.
However, I was considering the SR/F vs the Eva Ribelle and it boiled down to:
However, I was considering the SR/F vs the Eva Ribelle and it boiled down to:
- Energy density for the weight -- yes they are both heavy, but after riding them, the weight goes away. Low speed maneuvers are going to be a challenge that I'm confident I can learn to overcome. We've sent better men to the moon, I can learn to move a heavy bike around.
- Charging speed + range combination is in a sweet spot.
- Build quality. I don't think Zeros are bad, and the SR/F is a good looking bike, but for these premium prices, I don't want a caveat I have to look past like component or fitment issues.
- Limp home behavior. Being able to ride to the last drop is very appealing. I am probably not going on any long trips any time soon, I just want to have a full charge of riding without babying it home.
