    Discover 2 and, soon, Nomad 2

    Sounds awesome! I'm maxed out on e-bikes, though (5).

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    When I purchased mine, I had the LBS install Tannus liners, sono flats over 6 months. I changed to the Cloud 9 seat, but, because the Cloud 9 is thicker, had to change out the dropper post for a standard seat post. The A7 comes with an adjustable stem, but mine has not needed adjustment... an...

    EMBT RAMBLAS? Thoughts?

    PedalUma, any recommendations on handlebars to be less stooped? I guess the stem & clamp are 35mm, so looked at the Deity Highside 35mm alloy handlebar. Any thoughts on that? I'm thinking to change out the seat, too, but thinking I need to go have a sitting for that.

    Known Issues & Problems with Ride1Up Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I would love to buy a Ride1Up, but my issue ends up being the range. I like to throw in a 50-70 mile ride once a week/ every other week. Range anxiety would kill me. Would love for them to make some models a little more range-y. Otherwise, solid bikes with nice components, overall.

    Aventon Level or Himiway?

    Both are good brands w/ big distributor networks. I like their looks and their function (own one of each). I do NOT at all like how the Pedegos look (hey, I still want to look like I'm riding an actual bike... those things look too funky). Biktrix seemingly makes a good bike, but make sure you...

    Aventon Level or Himiway?

    Agreed with PedalUma. Stromer is a good name-brand. However, getting support is a big issue. If you're in Europe where Stromer is more recognized, that's one thing. If you're in the USA, Stromer is a niche, high-end choice. I LOVE the thought of the Gates belt drive, but haven't seen it on a...

    Aventon Level or Himiway?

    True! There is no ONE ebike that fits all my wants & needs, at least none that I've looked at in my typical ebike budget (under $5k). Figure out the most important needs/ wants for you and decide off those factors. For me, biggest needs are: 1. Range - I like longer rides and want to get 50+...

    EMBT RAMBLAS? Thoughts?

    love the Cannondale. Got my butt handed to me this weekend in Nevada City, CA on a couple of harder trails on the Ramblas. Those trails showed me the true value of full sus.

    EMBT RAMBLAS? Thoughts?

    I bought the Ramblas a couple of weeks ago & love it. Technically, it's my backup e-mtb (Cannondale Moterra Neo 3), but it's a lot of fun & SOOOO torquey. I've nicknamed my Ramblas The Torquinator!

    Shopping for a new Full-Suspension Step-Thru E-Bike w/Throttle -- Best Brand/Model?

    I own the Himiway A7 Pro & love it, putting 1,200 Mike's on it over 4 months. It's a very comfortable ride, and the full suspension is very nice on my back & knees (230 lb rider).I ride, mostly, in PAS 1 & usually get 40-45 miles per charge. Negatives are the weight (77 lbs), lack of range (i...

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    This is an amazing bike. It is so comfortable, and the mid-drive is a lot of fun. 1,200 miles in 4.5 months with a knee surgery as well as bike out of commission (pedal strike bent the crank, so had to be replaced) speaks to my enjoyment. I've also bought 2 e-mtb's during this time & have about...

    Velotric Friends and Family Discount Code

    I could really use that discount code if it's still good.
