Jeremy, thanks for the pointers, and my bad as I meant to say 10+ years LEFT to ride. All in I have well over 60 years of riding. Anyway, as for a test ride, these are not exactly common bikes that are just sitting around in a store. My dealer does have one that's nearly to my specs and I did...

Indeed I am in Canada and getting the ABS. What we cannot get here is the Rohloff HS (class 3) and we cannot get the Pinion system. As for a throttle, I just like to stop pedaling, on occasion, as my knees get mad at me after a while. My bike rack has a ramp so I should be fine and, if not, I'll...

Well, here I am, mid-70s, in decent shape with a good 10+ years of riding, so I'm eyeing a new Homage 5 (with Rohloff, ABS, Jonny Watts, Comfort kit, etc). I looked one over very carefully at my dealers (but couldn't ride it), and I really like everything about it - except it only comes in Class...

Sensible advice, Jeremy. Thank you.

What is it? Looks interesting ... Thanks

So I've been riding a Class 2 (i.e w/throttle) for 4+ years, and I'm eyeing a much higher rig (i.e Moustache J-All, or Riese & Muller Homage 5), both Class 1 (i.e no throttle). I do love a throttle when I, or my knees, are tired. I can just stop pedaling for a while and still move. I could not...

Lots of Class 1 and 3 in this category but I'm looking for a Class 2 (with throttle) that has these features: Full Suspension Steptrough Bosch motor with belt drive Akin to a Moustache J, or Riese & Mueller Homage 5. Is there such a bike? Cheers!

I'm game to try your jumper trick but I have NO clue on how to do that. Thanks for enlightening me and thanks for the tip.

I have a VoltBike Trio (original version from 2022) with upgraded color LCD display (2022 version). I have over 4000 km of near trouble-free riding. I now have this issue: I normally start the bike by pressing the start button for a few seconds and let go when the display comes on and off I go...

Consider me corrected by changing Manufacturer to, perhaps,”Distributor of their own brand quality etrikes which are made oversees” or some such? Yes, I realize anything entirely made here would be expensive as well as rare (but that was the default option when I was a young lad bike shopping!)...

Greetings. Totally new to all this and needing a solid eTrike w/fat tires for city and (easy) dedicated trails. I want to support and buy from a Canadian Mfr. Looking for a list of current Manufacturers I can order from, or, buy from one of their dealers. Anyone with such a list? Thanks eh! (I...

Well, hi all. I joined this forum as I plan on getting a eTrike (fat tires kind) when I downsize and move to the lovely town of Almonte Ontario this fall. I will be looking for tips and tricks for whatever I end up buying plus I will be looking for suggestions on a compact trailer to carry one...
