My wife ordered an electric bike about a year ago from Strom/Stroem and it finally showed up a couple of weeks ago. I did the "final assembly", which was attaching the handlebars and front wheel. The hardest part was putting a plastic cover over the 5 cables on the downtime. That took two people, one to hold the cables while the other snapped the cover in place. The bike was designed in Denmark but the box came from Thailand. I would guess that ocean shipping for Peloton from China to Los Angeles or Long Beach and then truck or rail from there to Portland is slightly cheaper than just truck or rail from Ohio but probably not enough to matter. I'd never tried an electric bike before. I can see why people use them instead of cars. It's pretty awesome.
