Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
A looker it ain’t. But, at £2,799 the Canyon Endurace:ON 7.0 is cheap for an E-bike with this spec, so at least there’s that. Of course the real problem is that can’t buy one in the US yet.

Not that it really matters, because the point of this post is to highlight the experience I had with Canyon USA’s customer service, it got complicated… First off, have…
