    car replacement dilemma

    One of our former salesmen who has two young children and runs a daycare went car free about 4 years ago. I do not see him very frequently any more but last time I saw him he said it was working very well for him. Both him and his wife own Stromer ST2 they use Burley and custom made trailers...

    Evo street pro throttle

    Your bike is working correctly. I will have to look at the manual tomorrow when I'm at the shop. Been years since I looked at one I forget sometimes that may be the only guidance a customer has sometimes. If it seems unclear or incorrect I will let BH know so they can make a revision on the next...

    car replacement dilemma

    The cargo bikes Bicyclista mentioned are all good suggestions for car replacement I would add Urban Arrow both long and short model to the list. I always thought the idea of having those young ones in front where you can keep an eye on them was nice. Amazing how well some of the cargo bikes...

    Yep and yep on the case and center mount display. The batteries are now an aluminum extrusion casing, much improved plug as well as higher capacity. The center mount display is backwards compatible and can be added to any side display bike as the thumb control pad replaces the side display. So...

    Another NYC Crackdown - 247 bikes seized in 24hrs

    Sounds like a typical political reaction. Irresponsible users using a responsible product irresponsibly. Lets outlaw stones or shoes because someone may throw one. Leaders should try leading and looking ahead instead of following ill conceived rabbit holes they don't understand. I wonder how...

    Lenny's Florida Dealership Opening Next Week!

    Thanks Bob. I had a great time down in Winter Garden helping them get up to speed and then a much needed vacation afterward to NOLA for Mardi Gras. I am looking forward to getting down again soon. The new store is doing great and the local interest was good to see. I invite everyone to stop in...

    Hi tech solution to a low tech issue.

    Who would have believed it. I still remember some elderly neighbors growing up having outhouses and a hand pump in the kitchen. We recently did a commercial with a consumer grade drone using follow me flight protocols to follow a rider doing some single track riding. Talk about situational...

    Error 13

    One last thing cleaning does not mean using any solvent a clean rag (shirt tail) is usually sufficient or a pencil eraser for stubborn corrosion.

    Error 13

    Code 13 is a communication error. Usually resolved by cleaning the contacts on the display and cradle. Check the contacts on the display itself to make sure they spring back out by pressing in with your fingernail and seeing that they come back out. Another thing to check is the connection for...

    No speed in the LCD control

    My suggestion is to bring it in to an authorized Easy Motion dealer such as us. They should have the diagnostic tool which will pinpoint the issue. With the symptoms you describe it could be the motor controller or the motor itself not sending a speed signal to the controller. You said you...

    Bicyclists should be seen as well as heard.

    As well as seeing I want to see. Being on the downhill side age-wise my night vision is pretty poor. Because of work pressures and a full life I find my only time to enjoy a ride is at night. Riding on the city trails in Madison I find a good high intensity light set invaluable. Our trails are...

    I need a reliable e-bike

    First off both Trek and Specialized require their dealers to be brand exclusive so your choice in real life comparison is limited there. Pedego is an assist bike with throttle. Stromer has not offered a throttle since the Sport model discontinued in 12-13. Both nice bikes, the Pedego is more...

    Newbie

    Test riding an eBike is in my opinion essential to getting the right bike for you. Beware of IBDs that carry a limited selection of makes and models. Many bike shops that have established themselves with acoustic bikes jumped on the bandwagon recently. While initially disparaging Ebikes due to...
