Hello Is it possible through a software upgrade to increase the torque? I have 2020 Townie 8i.It has 40 Nm but I'd be happy to get it to 50 NM. I am also thinking of changing the gearing as an option or having a new motor swapped in if it's possible and it's not priced ridiculously. The bike...

We always carry bear spray. Even in the winter. And it is for cougars. Bears can be out too. The trick is that everyone in the party should have bear spray not just one person. One of my friends has a backpack with a frame that sticks up above his head, so when skiing his neck is protected if a...

Canmore? The Engine Bridge?

Actually that is one of my main reasons for buying an e bike. ....So I can ride to places like Morraine Lake or Lake Louise.

First picture on the road to Morraine Lake. The other 2 are from Elbow Lake towards Tombstone Lakes.

Hello, I do not have one yet, but I would like to know when the module is not active does it default to 25 km/hr or 32 km/hr? Does it default to the original setting in other words? My bike is limited at 32 km/hr.(Bosch Performance CX)

Hello I have a 2019 Reaction Pro 500 with only 250 km. I noticed that if I move the pedals backwards or go back and forth a sound is present as some part inside comes to rest against another. The pedals going backwards can only go a little bit before they stop and produce this hitting sound.I...

Thank you for replying.Good to know that you like it a lot.I have a deposit on mine and hope to pick it up very soon. The problem is I won't be able to use until spring.Too much salt on the roads and next week it gets very cold.(-20 C). Now we are enjoying nice positive temperatures.

Hi guys, thank you for all the replies to the other thread I posted, but today I went and had a look at a 19 inch Cube 500 Pro-2019 model and fell in love. It has the Bosch performance series drive and the bigger tires(2.6) I'm looking for, and almost $1000 discount.It is still $1000 more...

Just wondering if you guys like yours and any other advice you might have. I was thinking of having the shop install a different stem, so to ride more upright. I do a bit of off road riding too , but not a lot.I also talked to them about having a rear rack installed. Is it possible to have an...

Does this bike have the necessary holes to mount a rack? It's a no go for me if it does not.

I wish I could try one but there's none here in Calgary. (to try anyway). I wonder how it compares to the Volt Bravo as far as ride comfort. Thanks for all the responses.

It's unfortunate that Spark and Volt have not figured this out.Must be other people like me out there that would like a tire that is good for the city but also good for medium to rough terrain. There are plenty of bikes like that if one can spend 3.5 k and up but many do not have a rack on the...

I would like to have a larger tire but definitely not a FAT tire bike. I'd be happy with a 2.4 or 2.6 . I think I can clear the forks but not the fenders. I'm also thinking of waiting for the Surface Shred.
