    Bosch Purion Display Just Stopped Working During Ride - Any Ideas?

    When my Priority Embark arrived the Purion did not work at all. I did find on the Bosch website the information that I could turn on the computer at the battery (that is, by pressing the button on the PowerPack 400), and that worked fine as an interim solution; all functions of assist etc...

    Looking for a workout mountain e-bike that allows you to quickly disable all assistance as needed (without turning it off off) Zero gear below Eco.

    I know this is an old comment, but I have not found this to be true. I have the Priority Embark with the Bosch Active Plus mid-drive, and I typically ride it with the assist off unless I'm going uphill. I mean, yeah, the bike weighs 45 pounds so it's not like I'm riding my acoustic bike, but I...

    Cost/benefit analysis of ebiking versus driving a car

    DDBB gives a perfect example of why this is a very individual calculation. Your personal habits and usage, your environment (I expect the risk of injury/death when biking is much higher in e.g. Miami, FL than it is here in Durango, CO), your local gas/electric costs, whether you have installed...

    Is there a way to calibrate the Purion?

    I can understand slightly under-calibrating for legal protection, but 10% is a huge difference! Grr.

    Looking for Opinions on Bikes (and potentially some other options)

    If you are okay with buying a bike without first test-riding that model, the Priority Embark is available from Costco online for $3000. I'm suggesting this because it's relatively light (45#), has a Bosch mid-drive, and also uses a belt drive rather than chain drive and a sealed continuously...

    Send us pics of your ebike... loaded with groceries!

    They are made by a company called Fastrider, and I ordered them on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011J5D1WS/ They come in blue also. They are super cheap in all senses of the word; they clip onto the rack with three plastic clips, and they don't have hooks at the bottom to hold them...

    Send us pics of your ebike... loaded with groceries!

    Well, you can't see the groceries, but this is at the farmer's market, and I have just loaded up with bread, cheese, carrots, and about a bazillion garlic scapes.

    Is there a way to calibrate the Purion?

    New e-bike (Priority Embark) with Bosch Active Line Plus and Purion. The speeds and distances shown on my computer don't match my GPS - yes, I know GPS has inaccuracies, but this is outside what's expected, plus has been confirmed by one of those speed limit sensing signs that told me I was...

    New ebike battery recharging

    I thought this post (in the guides and resources forum) had a lot of useful information: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/e-bike-battery-guide.24443/

    New Priority Embark rider in Durango, CO

    Hi all! My name's Ilana and I live in Durango, Colorado. For the past 15 years my husband and I lived in town and pretty much walked everywhere, but we built a new house on the mesa overlooking town and now it is about three miles to the grocery, library, etc - worse yet, it's a 300' climb to...

    Send us pics of your ebike... loaded with groceries!

    Do people have recommendations for rear panniers that are good grocery haulers? I'm looking for something easy to quickly detach and take into the store, and inexpensive.

    I hate your ebike...

    I know this was posted last year, but I don't care, it's fabulous, thanks much for the pointer. I wish comments were open on the post so I could thank the author!

    Costco- Priority Embark

    Can I suggest that the name of this thread be changed to just Priority Embark, since Costco is only a place you can get this bike, rather than the manufacturer? Priority Bicycles of New York is the manufacturer, and they make other (non-motorized) bike models. (I admit though that this thread...
