Ugly bikes!
While styling is subjective, my concern on commuter bikes would be;
1. Price – how much installment i can afford monthly?
2. Warranty – how long?
3. Fuel economy – how many liters per km?
4. Spare parts availability and price. NO WAITING TIME.
5. Safety and security.
6. Basic amenities – storage space, charger?
