ride a 2012 Optibike R-11 and a 2013 Stealth Bomber

Oh yes, I added a handle bar mirror, works great.

Hi Cory, I was able to commute this afternoon, what a blast, so much power, but still easy to control. I added mountain bike fenders, a garmin gps and lights.

I enjoyed your post. What kind of a helmet do you ride with?? I like your fenders, more stealthy looking than my Mountain bike fenders.

Hello Riders, I just purchased a used 2013 Bomber. With 3 days of rain in Houston, I have not been able to ride it to work yet. I put some mountain bike fenders and lights on it ready for commuting the 44 mile round trip to work and home. Sounds so much shorter when I say 22 miles one...

I like the Chrome Bike, nice Bling!

I have a shiftezy electronic shifter that shifts with two buttons. One button for going up in gears and the other going down. Would there be a way to indicate what gear you are in?

Hello Optibike_Austen, I'm looking for the auxiliary battery plug that goes into the Optibike socket. It will be a 2 pin round female plug. I've listed my address if you could send me one, that would be great. As I have looked around here and not found one. Thanks.

I commute with a regular bike and an Optibike R11. I ride 22 miles in Houston Traffic one way to the office. I find closing the gap on the differential speeds between bicycle and automobile makes for a safer trip. My battery is starting to lay down on my Optibike and so I'm only at 17 to 20...

I love riding my Optibike. Expensive, but worth it. such a good design. Solid performance.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the report from Luna Cycle. I will get the upgraded charger, good idea not to charge to 100% to extend the life of the battery. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Fishy, I am getting ready to pull the trigger myself on a new battery, this company has good reviews, I'm thinking of buying from them this week. http://lunacycle.com/ I think you may find a battery that would fit your needs.
