hmmm. If it happened on the climb maybe it was the sensors or motor "informing" you that it was an optimum time for a downshift. Kind of like when a motor chugs or bogs down when a driver is in third gear from a dead stop/start with a manual transmission....? Would an electric motor bog down...

I never got a chance to ride one but I had my eye on it last month. The shop I visited suggested I place a $500 deposit to order it so I could take a test ride -- not happening. I did get a chance to ride the Lift+ and the XM700 which were very nice. The Lift+ also has the STEP system and is...

Thank you for your concern, J. R. My dream ebike lies somewhere between a Raleigh Misceo and a Canondale Contro E Rigid if you include a throttle/boost (or joy) button for the same price that Tim sells his bikes. But that is not going to happen. Besides, next year it may be a completely...

After a few weeks of internal angst and shopping I pulled the trigger on my first ebike. I went back to BM EBikes in Northridge, CA and was able to talk directly with Tim, the co-founder, and he is building a variation of the Nighthawk for me that is a little more suited to my urban commuter...

Yes, upon further review (in a different forum), it does appear that trailer hitches are available for the Miata or MX5. I honestly didn't know that option was so readily available. Looks like another future project. I thank you, but my wallet doesn't :)

Thanks for your thoughtful comments Jack, I appreciate them. I am a motorcyclist so I do know the importance of accessories and safety gear and have a closet and drawers full of them. Of course, most of it is pretty heavy stuff so resources will be spent to get appropriate safety gear, too...

Thanks for the posts and advice. I wasn't able to find a Trek Conduit that fit me, but I did find an XM700+ that was a bit large in the frame but I really liked the ride once I got going. The Trek shop is the closest to my home and they have a shop with lots of traffic with a couple of...

Sage advice, thanks. I am looking forward to actually getting the bike but it's a big ticket item and I want to make sure of the bike, and yes, the dealer, warranty and convenience of the bike shop to me. I found that I really like mid mounted motors. My favorites were actually the new iZip...

Hello folks, This is my first post but I have been lurking this website for a good month. I am a 50+ dude who lives in the wonderfully dangerous (traffic wise) city of Los Angeles, CA. I have been motorcyclist-only for four years and recently took up the car again, because of the increased...
