As long as it has the orange NTA padding on the inside you should be OK.

Yeah, I switched to manual mode too. I tried fully Automatiq for a couple weeks but it did not seem intelligent enough for me. (Btw, NuVinci is the one making those decisions about people wanting fully automatic and Bluetooth-centric; they discontinued the twist mode.) Aside from some weird...

Check out the Evelo Omega if you haven't picked up a bike yet. It's a slight bummer the two batteries aren't drained cohesively (it's one then the other), but otherwise seems to have everything. I'm sad Enviolo has switched to the Automatiq... I had to replace my Aurora under warranty to the...

I have a pair of Ergon GP3s with a factory shortened right side for twist shift internally geared hubs (Enviolo Nuvinci, Rolhoff, etc.) but my warranty replacement bike from Evelo uses Enviolo Automatiq which doesn't need the space so I'm hopping to get a standard version right side grip, either...

Yeah, that's the chart I was looking at, but good point on the VINs. It's too bad there's no easy way to obtain one. I have to stay on my patents' motor vehicle insurance to keep UM/UIM insurance in case of a crash, but I would happily just get my own moped insurance if that were an option...

Just curious, but could you argue that a class 3/class 2 unlocked to 25-28 ebike is actually a moped and thus legal on the faster roads under the current law (which incorrectly caps class 3 at 25)?

I'm going to list it at my company, where I've had a lot of people stop me to ask about it/comment on how cool it looks, for $2200 with the expectation it will be haggled down (but, as I say, I'm perpetually surprised by the resale market locally...so I think it's worth a shot). If I don't get...

Awesome. Thanks, all! Just ordered a pair of the Super Moto-X HS. Found a pair on Amazon, but all of the other options were in Germany. Lol. (I've imported plenty of German/British ebike stuff since the market has more products there...but I'm glad I don't have to wait for customs this time.) I...

I just bought a fat/plus? bike and am totally lost on which tire to get. I'm a female who rides a lot a night in an urban area so puncture protection is my foremost concern, and I'll be riding almost totally on pavement (some gravel/dirt trails in city parks but only as an optional shortcut)...

Thanks, all!

Craigslist has comparable, not obviously stolen bikes in the $1800-2800 range in my area, btw. I'll update when/if I sell it and we'll see how close y'all guessed it. :)

Heh. That's my bike exactly. The local market is pretty good here in Seattle--most bikes go for 150% of Blue Book prices but I'll try at the low $2000s, I suppose. Thankfully I have the storage to keep it around for longer if need be and the weather has been lovely around here, just a tad cold...

I just bought my second ebike--needed a throttle due to a problematic knee that acts up from time to time--and am looking for tips to sell the first. It's well-maintained Haibike hardtail with a $4500 MSRP I picked up for $3300 as a floor model in 2016 with the original Bosch 28 mph motor. It...

This looks like a great bike. Any chance it will have a throttle and integrated rear light? I have a Bosch speed pedelec from Haibike that I love, but a knee injury that keeps cropping up is pushing me towards a throttle and I haven't found any high-end feeling mid-drives that have all the...

Thanks! Sadly, Seattle caps ebikes at 750 W or you need a motorcycle license. :/
