The bristles puncture bike tires. I work at a shop and we would routinely get flat fixes the days that the sweepers come through Germantown. Also, the drivers wouldn't let me pass them on my bike and then intentionally tried to run me off the road. So yes, get bikes, but street sweeping is stupid (at least how they do it in Philly)

The problem isn't knowing how to work on them. The problem, for shops, is the liability of working on them. Often, replacement parts are hard to find and the brand won't stand behind their product. I'm not sure if Zoomo will be like that or now. Even Aventon, a popular and reputable brand, gave the shop I used to work at issues.
