Bob Liu Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 We’re thinking of bringing electric bicycles to the Lakeside area. Anything we should know before doing it? Is it treated as a bicycle or a motorbike there? Please share your experiences. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Have seen a number or electric bicycles here. They are allowed to use the bike lanes. There is at least one shop selling them in Ajijic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I would suggest one that is sturdy... maybe fatter tires as you will be spending more time on cobblestone than smooth pavement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this one I am going to sell. Tires are 4.9" X 26". They glide over cobbles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to make them as dirty as worthless as possible if traveling by car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks pretty heavy but definitely a good match for the cobblestones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's aluminum and light enough to pedal without power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 There is a new bicycle shop that recently opened on the Libramiento a couple of door from Oxxo by the Pemex. They sell and service higher end bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusMactavish Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 This is what I bought my bike primarily for but within weeks of its arrival I fled the US for political reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
