Thommy, вот один из ответов на ваш вопрос. Лично мне этот байк не нравится от слова - совсем! Но для доставщиков в NY это один из идеальных вариантов. Имея две батарейки можно работать целый день, запчасти все стандартные и легко заменяемые.

I rode Arrow e-bikes for 10 years, I know a lot about them. Yes it’s a small shop, now with a few locations — one in Chinatown, one near 105 and Brodway, some in Brooklyn and Queens I believe, as well. They are spec’d by that shop, manufactured in China using standard Chinese parts and designs, and then imported to NYC. Arrow E-bike was formerly known as MNC e-Bike.
The business caters to delivery workers. Only one model of bike is sold in the shop, streamlining everything. They have all spare parts on hand, and can fix anything that goes wrong on a walk-in basis. There are many variants out there because they alter their design from time to time.
Selling and using class II (throttle-based) e-bikes in NYC is illegal. Arrows can be converted to legal use by disabling the throttle. Enforcement against selling these e-bikes is laugable: a $1000 on the shop, per bike found when inspectors arrive. That’s a real problem for an upscale Western-style bike retailer (say, NYC eWheels), which might have 20-40 ebikes of different models in its showroom. But Arrow keeps only one fully assembled working e-bike in its shop at any time, available for anyone who wants to buy one. So compared to the number of bikes they sell, the fine is a minor cost of business to them. It’s sad.. instead of fixing their design by removing the throttle, they’re happy to pay the fine and foist additional risk on their customers.
