The NCM C5 is a Terrific Bike

You don't have to pay a lot to have a fun time on an eBike.
NOTE: Just noticed (as of Feb 8) that the price of this bike has risen to $1199 (Canadian $). Wow, thats quite a price hike from the $699 I paid on Nov. 28, 2023. That's a lot for a very basic bike and brings it into competition with a lot of stuff From China. Maybe $999 might have been more realistic.
I still love the bike and really happy I got it for $699.
NOTE: Recently (Feb 24) I noticed two broken spokes on the rear wheel. Apparently this is an issue with these NCM Bikes. On the positive side I found out how to replace spokes. Fairly easy. Thanks RUclips.
