If youโve lived or visited NY youโll know how unreliable the subway system can be. I prefer to be able to travel on my own schedule and itโs honestly pretty easy with all the new bike lanes but it can be scary at first.

Iโve had multiple in my room for years and there has never been a problem other than the standard maintenance of the PEVs. Gotta remember all the ones Iโve tested so Iโll be adding to this list.
