TEV Bikes open for business
TEVBIKES storefront
TEV Bikes is now ready and open for business.
The store address is 1007 Bloor Street West, about 1 block west of Dovercourt. You can’t miss it because the front of the store is painted bright green and the kick ass eagle logo is hard to miss.
By visiting the store, I found out what TEV stands for: “Toronto Electric Vehicle” I also found out that they have a end of August Special Sale on two of their ebike models.
The TEV M7 (or also known as the Muskoka) and the TEV M8 (also known as the Montreal) are now on sale for a limited time.
The Muskoka regularly sells for $999.99 plus tax, but is now on sale for $899.99 plus tax. The Montreal regularly sells for $1199.00 plus tax but is now on sale for $1099.99.
For the record, I found out there’s no hidden $100 to $150 PDI (Pre-delivery Inspection) charge that some other ebike stores charge. You also get a free helmet with each model of bikes.
The Muskoka
The staff at TEV bikes were very helpful and answered all of my questions about the ebikes. I took the Muskoka for a test spin, and it has quite a bit of pep to it. I found that the bike handled well. The top speed is about 30km and the mileage you get out of the bike is about 40-55km.
Tons of storage under the seat
The great feature that I found about the Muskoka is it has ample storge space. There is storage under the seat, a front glove bin, plus a storage tail box. There’s also a small hook to hang a bag of groceries on. I couldn’t get over the amount of storgage space that the Muskoka ebike had.
The battery is removeable and is located under the floor mat of the bike, which is fairly handy and it can be locked by a key into place. During my test drive of the Muskoka, I found that the brakes and turn signal buttons were easy to access and the pedals can be removed for making the bike more compact for parking or for storage.
Nice to see, a new ebike store on the west end.
