I posted the following in another Portola thread (thanks BobP), but thought I could also start my own here. Thanks for the great review on a great bike. I went to the Portola review on EBR and posted the following in the comments. For some reason it went to the review on the R1U 500, which...

Thanks for the great review on a great bike. I went to the Portola review on EBR and posted the following in the comments. For some reason it went to the review on the R1U 500, which hasn't been sold in two years or so, so I figure that nobody will see the comment there so I'd post it here...

I've been flipping hydraulic brake bikes upside down for almost 20 years without a problem. With ebikes, you need a couple of blocks of 2x4 under the grips so controls don't get bent or broken.

#5 is a scuff protector for your seat in case the bike falls over. Look underneath the rear of the seat. Pushes right into place.

I have Limited and a 700. My wife has a 700 step thru. I do not like the swept back handlebars on the step thru. I have gone to Soma Dream Riser handlebars and they feel just about right. About two inches of rise and 25 degrees of back sweep - which is about halfway between the straight...

If your bike is that unbalanced, consider checking several things. Are your cables for brakes, throttle or motor pulling the bar because they are tight? Make sure your front wheel is properly in the dropouts, and not tilted. Finally, check your headset. Too tight? Too loose? Pick the front...

Somebody discovered on the Atom Lynx 6 Pro that the wire harness inside the frame had a sticky pin that would allow the display to continue to show but would cut power to the motor. If you remove the battery and look inside the frame where the battery contacts connect to a wire harness, you...

These help cut the wind noise, but are usually used to keep your ears warm during cold weather. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154704228414 I have some of the Ear Grips and some of the 180s, and feel the Ear Grips are just a little bit more comfortable. They fit a little looser than the 180s.

I recently ordered and installed a Manitou Markhor fork on my Limited. I initially found it at TakeAHikeShop.com and ordered it. I still have not received it, nor have I heard back from them after I phoned them, texted them and emailed them. My suggestion is to stay away from them. I am...

Here is another fork that comes in about the same weight and should fit our Limited. The good thing is that it comes in at $300 at one seller, and $264 at another - about $100 cheaper than the Rock Shox...

I was out in Brevard last year in May, riding the DuPont Forest trails. Nobody said a word to me about my ebike. I was riding with non-ebike friends. Probably put on 40 miles over two days, all single track. My advice - just ride until someone official tells you otherwise.

I'm going to add my 2 cents here. I currently have three bikes - two Ride1Up bikes and a Brose equipped mountain bike from BH/EasyMotion. The Ride1Up 700 came with a cadence sensor based on speed, which I later converted to a power based controller. This made it much more rideable in my...

Most steer tubes are 1 1/8" or 28.6mm, but your handlebars can be one of three sizes. 31.8mm is very common, while 28.4 was the old standard and still used on many lower cost bikes or ones that won't be under a lot of strain (like catching air on a mountain bike). Sometimes you see newer...

I agree with the folks recommending a mid drive bike. I have no experience with Bafang motors but do have a mountain bike with a Brose motor (made in Germany). That bike will climb almost anything within reason. I also have two hub drive bikes with claimed torque of 60 ft-lbs and 100 ft-lbs...
