Any idea about R Martin Electric Bikes?

I am planning to buy an electric vehicle; can you name any good suppliers in Austin, Texas area? I have heard much about R Martin Electric bikes, any idea how is it?

    I'll look at the website. I've never heard of them. I have a Giant Lite electric bike that I like but like so many electric bikes, I think they stopped marketing them in the US. They are the most popular bike in Japan. Very dependable.

    (Later) OK, I see that R Martin is the distributor, not the manufacturer. The bikes they have seem to be OK because their drive systems are connected through the bike's crankshaft rather than attached through a separate chain drive to the rear wheel. You need to decide if you want pedal assist which does not have a throttle and does not go unless you pedal, or whether you want one with a throttle, which you don't necessarily have to pedal.

    I have an R Martin EVD - their electric moped. It's a really nice vehicle that I've been very happy with. Also you can email Randall Martin (owner of R Martin, obviously) directly if you ever have any problems. A couple of times I've needed replacement parts, emailed him, and he's sent me an invoice and mailed out the part almost immediately. And I'm not even in Texas - I live in California.
