Straight Story is a very fun movie. These days, they'd probably could have put the guy on an e-trike, though the lawn mower was better visually. Odd to think that Sissy Spacek, the adult daughter in the movie, is now playing grandmothers. mmmm..... IT Happened One Night on e-bikes, Rain Man...

Thanks for the suggestions! It does occur to me that an e-bike dealer might do quite well renting batteries. They can always use idle/used batteries on their demo bikes. A lot of Pedego dealers rent their bikes; renting batteries might be pretty easy for them. I wonder if this site might...

I'm less worried about the weight than the money. Bosch batteries start at about $500. I got the bike new for $1399. Now if I bought a second battery and could rent it out :}

Thanks for the suggestions PaD and Dave! There aren't a lot of e-bikers out there, but battery rental would work well for me if it exists. Obviously, there are issues with interoperability and possible damage or loss, but say $50/week (likely not to be more than 7 cycles), kind of like an...

I personally never ride much over 20 mph unless I'm going downhill. My BMW Cruise power assist is limited to 20 and the limit doesn't bother me. I also agree with the safety concerns expressed here about 40 mph bikes. That said, technology only seems to improve when people try to push the...

They were closing these out, more or less, and I happened to see one on E-bay that happened to be selling through my local BMW dealer. fwiw I'm still not sure how many of these were ever sold in the United States. There was the small matter of the hurricane closing down the dealership for a few...

After being fascinated by e-bikes for a few years, I rented one, a 65 pound Pedego, on a trip to Solana Beach, California. I pedalled along the beach, made it up the big hill at Torrey Pines State Park, and had a great time riding about 35 miles. I returned the bike to the Pedego shop and knew...
