    Best value?

    I purchased a Rize Leisure Step last year for roughly 2k and at that time they were selling the bike with the 750 watt rear hub Banfang, racks, fenders, a torque sensor, and what seems to be almost non existent now, a 48v19ah battery. I haven't seen any bikes come close to this amount of value...

    Reasons you ride? - Aside from the obvious reason where riding is your passion.

    "Oh you don't want a bike, you want a scooter". It is funny because even people on this forum have said that to me when I criticized the lack of power the 250 Watt 40 NM Trek Verve has.

    We just did trail ridge road for the first time! That has to be the most amazing ride on a bicycle. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I would love to ride my e bike there, wow.

    How Much Cardio Can You Get From Electric Bikes?

    If I burned 700 calories from my 20 mile ride I am very happy with that. That is 700 calories I wouldn't be burning at all because I enjoy riding the bike so much.

    How Much Cardio Can You Get From Electric Bikes?

    I took a 20 miles ride this morning and there is no doubt I got a substantial amount of exercise. My apple watch and Strava estimated somewhere between 750-1130 calories burned. I don't believe it is incorrect, but even if it was 1/2 that it would be substantial. One could argue an e-bike is...

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    No doubt about it. There’s almost nothing less than half a mill here and that gets you a 1 bedroom.

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    I agree with you 100 percent, however until I had that experience I wouldn’t particularly know what 250 watts in that line really does. Now I do 🤙

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    I would certainly hope the price of the bike is somewhat connected to the pleasure you receive from it 😂. I think that’s pretty reasonable. I’m never looking for a scooter experience. However I would definitely enjoy enough power to give me a leisurely ride if I chose to take one. I just don’t...

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    I’m not particulary comparing the bikes. Like I mentioned I didn’t know what a 250 watt bike felt like. I’m just stating my surprise at the performance of a bike with such a price tag. I’m just wondering where the money goes.

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    Like I mentioned in the original post I wanted to try the bikes to check out the mid drive motor bosche has to offer. I’ve never ridden one before and have read many write that even the lower powered mid drive motors are better at hill climbing than their hub motor counterparts. Surely now I...

    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    I have a Rize Step Through with a 750 watt bafang hub motor. My dad, sister, and I rented Trek Verve bikes on vacation in Breckinridge Colorado. I was really excited to see the difference between my bafabg hub motor and the boche mid drive. We did a 30 mile ride from Breckenridge to Dillon and...

    Raising handlebars on my Rize Leisure Step

    That is something I definitely never thought about. However I do have bar end mirrors which I would like to keep. Definitely an option if it turns out no other options will work.

    Raising handlebars on my Rize Leisure Step

    Hello all, I went back and forth with Rize and they explained that I could not raise my handlebars anymore from what came in the box with my Rize Leisure Step. I have read you can get an aftermarket stem extender. The company said to be careful to not stretch out the brake lines but it seems...

    Shorter adult: 750W Bafang, step-through, mid-drive, suspension fork

    Check out the Dost bikes. They have a 750 watt bafang mid drive. They have a step through with a front suspension. They offer a dual battery if you want another battery at a 50 percent discount which is pretty cool. The only bummer with those bikes is that they use a cadence sensor I believe.

    2020 Rize X Easy Upgrades

    Those handlebars looks pretty awesome. I have the Leisure Step and although it is relatively upright I would like to raise my bars higher. I am 6'2" so I am still bent over a bit. Can I just use the 2 spacers that came with the bike? I didn't know whether those spacers that were included were...
