    Longest time between order and delivery?

    Waiting nearly three years for a Shimano lever assembly is a standout case. With global supply chain disruptions, such long lead times aren't unusual, but it’s surprising for a bike part. It’s worth checking with your LBS for any potential updates, as sometimes shipments arrive earlier than expected

    To insure your e-MTB, you have a few options. Many homeowners' insurance policies may cover e-bikes, but it can significantly raise your premium, as you've noticed.

    I have a Ford Kuga, and I can confirm that fitting a medium bike in the back without removing the wheels is quite possible, but it might be a bit snug.
