    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Yesterday on my 24 mile ride on a new trail that links 2 cities ( Eureka-Arcata ca) I encountered around 15 cyclists. Most were on analog bikes, and probably 6 on Ebikes. The only people that had a smile on there faces when I greeted them were the ones on Ebikes. Somes it up doesn't it.

    I keep slipping forward on my saddle. I've made adjustments both fore & aft, and have also adjusted saddle tilt and height to no avail. I'm using a brooks B67. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Old man, new bike, massive hills, lesson learned

    I'm in California visiting family and I'm loving these flat roads where I can get over 30 miles on a charge. Big difference from my home AO of E.TN and nothing but hills and only getting 18 miles per charge on a 14 ah battery on pas lvl III. Hills make a huge difference. Glad I have at least...

    Charging Procedure
