I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Stefan, I'm sure that she would have appreciated the way that you honored her passing.

Our 2 bikes, Aventon and Bulls, weigh a combined 132(ish) pounds, which puts them a whisker above the 130# limit of the Easy Fold. We went with the Hollywood Destination rack, it has a 140# capacity, and a ramp.

We ordered, and paid for the bike in March, and after numerous missed delivery dates, we pick it up tomorrow. In talking with the vendor, he is hoping for one more delivery before price increases. This bike will replace a 2018 BH Evo City Wave. DW has a bad knee, so requires a class 2 bike...

Another vote for Mirrcycle, after 8 years, the original Mirrcycle on my Haibike finally gave up. Ninety percent of my rides involve loading my bike on a carrier, and driving to a trail. While on the carrier, I tilt the mirror horizontal to reduce wind-drag; the wear on the plastic finally...

Perhaps if it got out that wind turbines were harmful to sharks.

I cannot even begin to comprehend why someone would do something like that. I hope that our justice system gives the perp numerous consecutive opportunities to reflect upon his actions, and the consequences.

We are picking up DW's Aventon Level 3 this weekend. We were able to test drive a Level 2 in March, and were impressed enough with it to order the newer model which has more power and a larger battery.

We just purchased an Aventon Level 3 for DW, it is a torque sensor, but other than that seems to hit most of your desires. We got to do test rides, and we're impressed.

I'm turning 76 next month, I switched to a Bulls step-thru last year, and we just bought an Aventon Level 3 step-thru for my DW, who is 74. The Aventon has front shocks and a suspension seat post to smooth out your ride. Moving to a step-thru "girl's bike" was an emotional challenge, but let's...

I keep our Ebike batteries in a fire-rated safe, but I'm not sure if the welds would hold if there was an explosion.

When I bought my Haibike xduro 8 years ago, 90% of my riding was done in Eco assist mode. As the years passed, I noticed that Eco became reserved for dead-calm flat, downhill, and downwind; Tour/Sport/Turbo began to see more and more use. This year saw me purchase a Bulls Iconic step-thru...

It appears to be a fairly close copy of a Hollywood rack, at half the price; apparently the cracking, and in some cases, the catastrophic failure of welds is the reason for the recall. We have had the Hollywood mounted to our vehicle since July, we use it to carry our two, 65+ pound bikes. To...

Oooooo!

That looks a lot like the 2023 Iconic Evo 1 750 Wave that I just bought on sale for $2,999US, save for the lack of rear suspension on mine.

I've been riding my Haibike since 2016. The first few years it gathered a fair amount of attention; most of the comments were positive, but I did get the "cheater" comment fairly often. Over the years I have seen all of the comments drop off as ebikes have gone from a rarity to common place...
