Also you can try the shops where new ones are sold.  some of them sell second hand ebikes too.

Wow. So I guess I need to play dumb as a paying customer sometimes. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing your insight William!

I think it’s more than ‘lazy’ or money, and instead there’s some fascinating cultural piece in it.  As a Chinese person, I find many of us would love to assume some type of ‘authority’ over our peer citizens who equal us in the same/similar social-economic stratum.  Chinese people tend to give way more respect (and/or obedience), than most w…[Read more]

For me it really is mind boggling.

Nick here from FEX. I think lazy still works here. It sounds like the business owners in this case won’t make effort to truly understand customers request.  it might be relatively unusual request for them.

It sound similar to the ” meiyou” phenomenon i observed. Except with “meiyou” they are usually just lazy or dont know and dont want to ask their workmates. But when a business owner does it, its really strange. Because it affects their income.

maybe you can get one at the Apple store in Tahoe (the one to the east).

Thank you Jonas for doing all this for us!

I was in this group and some guy said they’d cancel for lots of reasons including weather.  Hope there’s a number you can call before planning your trip.

I couldn’t pin point where it is exactly, but i think there’re lots of second hand e-bike shops on the side of the road people take to get to Gushan mountain and Lienjing.  Near a bridge on the River. My friend took me there when i was new to Fuzhou.

Hi, Jonas here at FEX. I am sorry you are experiencing slow loading time on our website.  We might all know a reason or two why some sites hosted outside China have loading issues.  A couple of things we plan to do is to host FEX in China and use a China CDN.  We are hopeful for a change in the next a few weeks.  Please do keep checking back.

watch out for the weather though. if the weather isn’t cooperating, the are closed.
