I've got a nicely broken in Brooks saddle ready to move over from another bike. I'm thinking that a pair of Ortlieb classic panniers will be a nice addition as well. Thanks for the advice! What kind of mirror and bag do you have?

I've just made all my ebike test rides private. Thus far I've gotten KOMS on every test ride I've done without trying. Noticed it last time i logged in. Oops!

@Chris Hammond It was locked into a demo mode, so I could only do minimal tweaking. Basically, I was only able to tweak the torque sensing so the motor would kick in without me having to mash the pedals. There are only three levels of assist. Level 1 didn't really seem to do much. It maybe...

Torque sensor adjustment definitely helped. MUCH more impressive ride with the torque sensor feedback increased. I'm convinced an ebike will make my 50 mile roundtrip doable every day. Oddly, I ended up going through 40 percent of the battery on a 17 mile ride. That wear seemed a bit...

Thanks again for all help. I've preordered a CCS with the 48 V 19 Ah battery, with an inquiry to Juiced about upgrading to the 52 V battery, as it wasn't an option in the online order form. Also planning to go back and test ride the Stromer ST2S locally. It really didn't wow me on the test...

So I rode my entire route on my regular commuter (a Jamis Renegade). For those interested, here's the route/ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/1661467105 1 hour 49 minutes from start to finish. About 2 hours and 5 minutes when I factor in stops. Need to do some calculations and see the...

Called around to some shops and found a place to test a Stromer ST2S. They're trying to clear stock, so have priced it at $6599. I had my max price at $5K (and hoping for more like $2-3K - thus the Raleigh Redux iE), but 30% off an ST2S is an attractive price. The roughly 1000 Wh battery...

Thanks all for the suggestions. The various advice i've received have convinced me to try hub drives in addition to mid-drives that the two shops I've visited recommended. I tested a Stromer ST-2 today. That thing was crazy fast and easy to ride. An the battery is a beast. Alas, WAY out of...

Thanks for the perspective! I don't mind sweating at all. I've got showers here. Wanted to get some different views since, as you mentioned, i'm not the typical ebike buyer that wants to avoid sweat and make the commute a bit easier. I'm looking to maintain the current commute effort and...

Have only seen shades of what I'm wondering covered in here. I currently commute 30-36 miles roundtrip on my adventure bike (Jamis Renegade). I have been doing this 5 days a week for the past 3 years. With starts and stops and a couple decent hills it takes me between an hour 15 and an hour...
