Electric bikes are certainly a financial investment, and with that you need to get it right. Sinch take a different approach allowing you to take the bike away for a test ride. You then select the model to purchase when ready, then 2-3 days later a brand new one arrives for you.
What we like about Sinch, they are affordable, fitted with a full Shimano gearing set and motor, and come well equipped for your adventure.
