    Kepler Assembly, Review, and Impressions

    This bike eats hills for breakfast, lunch and dinner - sometimes dessert... Even my steepest hills, which are 12-14% grade, I can get about 20mph going uphill with the bike unlocked with pedal assist. All the reasons I got this bike are paying off big time. This is the perfect commuter bike...

    Kepler Assembly, Review, and Impressions

    I received my bike yesterday and assembled it within an hour by myself. Here are my initial impressions of the bike: Packaging: Despite some minor damage to the box, the bike was well protected within the secondary box and had no damage. It had lots of padding and everything was well secured...

    Next Batch of Keplers Shipping

    Great news!!! My Kepler has landed. Shipping time was predicted perfectly and my box arrived this morning, which was great because the anticipation was killing me. I'm looking forward to assembling the bike tonight and doing my first ride into work tomorrow. Box looks good with only a little...

    26x4 Tannus Flat

    Well that sucks. The inserts did not really do much against what would be considered a minor threat. My bike is actually scheduled to arrive today and I look forward to doing some test rides on the stock tires. I've been watching BigTeedo on his YouTube channel and he has done a bunch of...

    Duro Fleetwoods Installed on Kepler

    I am in that same weight range as well. I have a relatively short trip to work, only 3.5 miles, but this includes a 1 mile hill at 7% grade, another 1/4 mile at 5% grade, and finishes with a 1/4 mile hill at 12% grade. It will be interesting to see how the Kepler does on each of these challenges.

    Duro Fleetwoods Installed on Kepler

    Thanks for posting this. I am waiting for my Kepler to ship, but this is one of the first mods I want to do as I will mostly be using this bike to commute to work. I have some very steep and long hills along the way, I am hoping the Kepler's motor can handle them. These tires should reduce...
