Hi Jamie, Yes the SR will work with front suspension forks. They have different mounting plates depending on what kind of brakes your bike uses, but there is one that works on suspension forks even if you have disc brakes also. And the newest version will allow you to either keep the unit all...

Glad you are enjoying your Ui5! I got a LT Thudbuster and it did help with smoothing the ride. I also put some Loctite adhesive on the screws in the stem and that seems to keep them tight. The throttle should be useful as long as you are in the higher assist settings, i.e. 4-6. I use it a...

I would buy one of these: http://www.techinsider.io/trifecta-e-bike-features

Or how about amphibious!

And then for the ATV crowd, there is this: I wish there were more of these where I live, as we have lots of gas powered ATVs and boy are they noisy. Plus the Swincar looks like fun! Four wheel drive, high clearance, and this thing will go just about anywhere.

Yeah, at least the friction drive mentioned above is being honest about the range. In this video, the developer claims a range of just 5 km which might not be bad really for the price. But the motor only puts out 150 watts. So again it is a very limited application, maybe for someone who just...

And here is a not so cheap, but easy to install and lightweight mid-drive add on kit that replaces the left crank arm: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bimoz-the-world-s-smartest-e-bike-drive#/ As usual for these crowd-funding projects, they seem to be exaggerating the range by a lot. They...

Here is an interesting approach, keeping it small, light, and cheap with very limited range...but it might work well for some users with short commutes or the like, and you could always buy an extra battery or two...

I wonder if the shareroller would work on this. It would be a lot simpler than rebuilding the forks, but it is now not going to be available until August: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shareroller-add-on-e-power-for-bikes-scooters#/

Yes, which also fits with how he admits that he was biased against ebikes going in to the review. But he really seems to have come around to appreciating them.

Good idea! Well...technically mid-drive is also rear wheel drive. But maybe I could get a recumbent tricycle with a motor on all three wheels :) Seriously though, the ShareRoller weighs about as much as a second battery, so adding it to the Magnum will give me more power and more range without...

Some of the bikeshare programs use a mounting plate identical to the one the shareroller uses to lock the bikes. In particular, it is the Bixi company bikes that work. So for those particular bikeshare bikes, the shareroller would just clip on and you would be good to go. Here is a Wikipedia...

Very cool. I love the creativity in today's technology.

Yes, that was one of Court's criticisms of the Bionx system in his review of the OHM Urban XU700 16, that the motor cuts out abruptly when the top speed is reached. In contrast the motor on my Magnum Ui5 cuts out gradually as I approach and then exceed the top speed, so it is a smooth and...

That seems like a good price, especially at $2600. I hope you enjoy your new ebike! I see they also offer a lower power version: http://evobicycle.com

I hear you about the grinning from ear to ear. I have the same response whenever I ride my Magnum Ui5. That Evo does look very nice. How much does it cost?
