I backed the HyperScorpion way back in September of last year on Indiegogo but it looks like it will have been worth the wait. There's really nothing else quite like it. I've been following the progress and the delays. It's been such a welcome distraction during this crazy messed up year...

I'll share my thoughts on the new post when I get it. I just got a cheaper one off of Amazon. I don't think it will affect reach but we'll see. Glad the Thudbuster is helping!

Okay, back from my first real ride and my view of the bike has changed...for the better! As far as pedal assist goes, levels 1 and 2 were plenty for me most of the time. I never had to use the highest level. This is an ebike you could ride without the motor too which is great. I wanted a...

I'm enjoying the bike very much! I'm sure a suspension seat post will work wonders. I don't want to give the impression it rides rough because it doesn't. I have an old Trek, a regular bike, that rides the same. Very typical of road bikes. I'll try lowering the tire pressure until that seat...

I got my bike today! It's gorgeous in person. Very well made. I got the extra small frame and I'm glad because it fits me perfectly. I'm 5'1". The motor is very quiet, responsive, and capable for what I want it to do. Brakes and gears are doing great. My only complaint is the harsh ride...

I don't see anything overly feminine about their bikes. Nothing about it is girly which is nice. Some other bikes for women are kinda silly looking in a condescending way. IMO There's a lot of step-thru e-bikes these days but most are still too big for a short rider. Sure I might be able to...

Well I guess I'll be the first to post on Liv e-bikes! Liv is owned by Giant. I just ordered the Amiti E+4 and should have it in a few days at my LBS. I chose it because it has several frame sizes (XS,S,M,L), even ones for short riders. Many e-bikes are just too big for a 5'1" shortie like...

Yes I tried emailing them and the email failed because there's no such address apparently. They don't know their email doesn't work? That seems kinda crazy. I'll try calling and hopefully that hasn't been disconnected too. All I need to know is the correct speed settings for the display. I...

Well it's been over a week since I sent Ness a message and I haven't received a reply. Not good.

Okay, I sent them a message because I actually do need some help! I played around with the controller settings and now the battery drains ridiculously fast (or it shows that it is) and speedometer is jacked up. Not the same thing as a cracked frame but I'll let you know how fast they respond...

That's not good about the frame. I have the step-thru and haven't had any problems yet. I ride primarily on pavement but I've hit some potholes and hard bumps. Bad customer service will kill an ebike company. Gotta stand behind your products. That's why RadPowerBikes is so popular. It's...

This will be my third season riding the Ness Icon and it's been a good bike. I haven't put tons of miles on it but I haven't had any issues other than brakes and gears that need some fine tuning. I easily get 30 miles on a single charge and the battery is still holding up well. I regularly...
