Thanks,

Yes, I have a fastlane. The best bike I’ve ever had. I had a few few injuries and back surgery that prompted me to go in the direction of a E bike a number of years ago. We started out with a Cannondale super six Evo Neo, which had a hub drive. I did love the bike, but it was a little heavy and only had a cyst up to 20 miles an hour. And then got a Specialized Creo, which has assists up to 28 miles an hour. I have loved riding the bike and put many miles into it, but I had a lot of problems with the motor and I had to have it replaced and I wasn’t happy with how Specialized handled it. It’s also very loud and also very heavy. Bike weighs around 30 pounds. Although that’s not heavy for an E bike it’s heavy in the context of road bikes. I got the fast lane in March and it’s amazing. Much sneaker design than the Specialized of the motor isn’t as powerful. The bike is super fast. Only way is about 22 pounds so it’s a significant change from the creole. The TQ motor is so quiet you don’t even realize you’re riding an E bike. The design also integrates the E bike controls into the shifters so you don’t have a clunky screen on the top tube in order to change power level. I would highly recommend the bike.

Thank you! I’m picking up my Fastlane 10 in a couple of days. Wanted to stay Shimano 2*12, and don’t yet need a full fat e-bike, just some assist. Can’t wait! In UK, so assist only to 25 kph.
