    VORSA Update (1500 mile review) King of the Hill?

    When I hear that you folks ride for 5k, 10k, 15k miles and you claim "no maintenance", I cringe. Either you folks don't clean your drivetrains or you must be forgetting the awful weekly maintenance of the derailleur, chainring and chain along with all the greasy mess and shop waste that comes...

    Ride1Up Gravel Roadster V2, Can't Find Spare Parts

    In the past few days, Ride1Up emailed promotional pricing on spare/ replacement parts that are very attractive. For example, the "Complete rear wheel of the Ride1Up Gravel V2" from $220 to $100 - wow! Turns out that after several emails, support chats and even more days, the "complete rear...

    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    After changing to PAS to 9 levels, the ride smoothed out quite a bit. I noticed that when engaging PAS to level 1 now starts off more subtly, around 80-100W of power as opposed to before 150-175W. The jerking when engaging PAS has now been almost eliminated.

    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    I'm kind of breaking in the Atlas. Experimenting with saddles since I ride for about 2 hours each early morning and need to be comfortable. Also changing the grips, seat, handlebar angles. I'm getting to the PAS levels now. Evelo has always responded quickly and offered excellent support...

    Help finding a mid-drive, torque ebike with a throttle and natural pedal assist?

    Hello tricycle! Not sure if you've made your purchase yet but it seems that the forums somehow manage to veer off topic. You can most certainly have mid-drive, throttle, pedal assist and get the natural feeling as you wish. Answering to your question that I too was searching for a couple of...

    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    Why the Throttle is Important to My Enjoyment of Cycling Depending if I'm exercising or just cruising I ride about 90 to 95% without any pedal assist or throttle. After a sprint of 2, 3 or more miles going at least 15 mph, as I get tired, I twist the throttle for the motor to take over for a few...

    Avid Night Cyclist Looking for Belt-Drive, Long-Time Replacement

    Yes, agreed! The Luna Fixed is a nice option and one of my recent candidates. However, I don't know how long it's been since they removed the Small and Large frame sizes from the options where the only size available now is Medium. At 6'2" this frame would be small-ish. I'll keep monitoring to...

    The Luna Fixed is a nice option and one of my recent candidates. However, I don't know how long ago they removed the Small and Large frame sizes from the options where the only size available now is Medium. At 6'2" this frame would be small-ish. I'll keep monitoring to see if Large frames become...

    Thank you for the tips. The KMC is a chain bike which is completely out of the question given the maintenance required.

    Amalfi e-Bikes, Anyone Hear of the e-Bike and Know About this Brand?

    In searching for a new e-Bike replacement for my true and tired GenZe e101 with over 15,200 miles I came across this e-Bike brand, Amalfi Bikes which, in spite of the suggestive name and scenic company description, is not an e-Bike company rather is part of Viatek Consumer Products Group, a...

    Avid Night Cyclist Looking for Belt-Drive, Long-Time Replacement

    Yes, I absolutely, wouldn't shop anywhere else. I've seen the Priority Current at their CostcoNext site and the price is very attractive. The only missing item for me is lack of throttle. I've contacted Priority directly and they replied that they have NO plans for adding throttle to the Current...
