Well I've put mine through the first couple commutes and am super happy with it. I did one run for speed with me putting in a lot of effort, then did another run with using more of the assist and the difference in battery at the end of the ride was only 5% less with the same speed! That's a 19...

Do you think it would be possible to mount aero bars to the Ohm Urban? I'm thinking about getting these to help with speed and lower air resistance on my long commute. Aero Bars

I have not called them back to ask. You could call them up if you're interested and see if you get any information. For my part, I am just going to try to enjoy getting the new bike set up and let the corporate dust settle.

Was that 40,000 km done with your previous Urban and the new model combined or just with the new model? And I was always curious about how you rode so much - is it all pleasure riding? I am going to have the potential to put on quite a few miles as well if I stick do doing my 20 mile one way...

I just purchased an Ohm Urban and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. Got the body float as well, so a similar setup to you Ken. What other kinds of add ons have you done to your bike? Wondering what else might be good to add (what kind of panniers, saddle bag, locks, etc)

I was told that Ohm has a large stockpile of parts for service purposes.

So I just purchased a Bionx bike from Ohm and spoke with one of their reps and he said that they were not too worried about Bionx continuing onward. He said he had heard there were 15 different interested buyers and that they would likely resume business as usual after that. So maybe it's not...

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a Large Urban with a body float. Excited to test it out next week!

I love how this thread is now over a year old and there are no posts yet - is that a testament to reliability?

I am debating ordering an Urban and was wondering if anyone could advise on sizing. I know they have a sizing chart, but I feel like it is difficult for me to understand how to use it correctly. Anyways, I am a 6'0.5" guy with about a 32" inseam. I'm just wondering if the Large or the X-Large...

Would it be possible to swap the fork out for one with suspension? That would made this bike much more attractive for me since in the Midwest we have lots of rough pavement and curbs to deal with. That's one of the main things that's holding me back since I am concerned about a harsh ride on...

I think it's interesting that no one has replied to your thread with counter-evidence of their own kits doing well. Surely there must be some kits still functioning?

When mine were out of alignment I tried to fiddle with them and just made it worse, so I ended up bringing them into my LBS. They bled the system and re-aligned the pads for $25 and had it done in an hour, so not too painful!

I had throttle/motor response cut out on my Juiced ODK U500 before - the culprit was the throttle cable having a connection rattle loose; replaced under warranty.

Jeff, I currently do a 22 mile one-way commute in the Minneapolis-St Paul area on an ODK U500 with a 32ah battery - I have not done it year-round yet so I can't comment on the winter riding aspect, but I plan on getting some studded tires and giving it a go this winter. I'm not sure how many...
