A rolling treadmill....what will they think of next!

That is just the kind of thing I was hoping we could have a place for on here. Thanks for sharing that review. And yes, having the opportunity to carry on a dialogue regarding the review would be a great feature.

Just to give an idea of what this could be like, here is a page on a headphone forum where user reviews are posted: http://www.head-fi.org/products/ They have thousands of reviews created by the forum members, and many of the items that have been reviewed have several reviews by different...

Actually, he starts with a pretty basic and stock KMX Tornado recumbent trike, so he is not designing them from the ground up. But he does put in a 1500 watt Crystalyte motor and Cycle Analyst computer. Then he custom builds a 50 volt/30 amp-hour battery using automotive cells for about 90 miles...

I spoke to Court yesterday about possibly adding a feature to the forum or maybe even the main site for reviews created by forum members who either own a particular ebike, or are able to give it a thorough test ride and then post their own take on that model. So I am checking if there would be...

I just met a local guy who does custom conversions of recumbent tricycles, and also likes to tinker. A few years ago, he created a 125 volt, 10,000 watt recumbent ebike that he clocked on an airport runway at over 80 mph! This might be a more appropriate topic over on electricbike.com where they...

Thanks Ann. That is helpful. It does seem like the motor is trying to do regenerative braking! I rode my wife's bike today and it was remarkably quiet.....so I think it is something inside the motor. The Pedego store only works on Pedego bikes, but I found someone nearby who works on ebikes...

I ordered it online and it is out of warranty. There is a Pedego shop that just opened up here. Maybe they could service the motor.

There is a ebike tour company like the one you are considering here in Sedona, AZ. You might want to contact the owner and ask her about her experiences: https://ebikesedona.com/ She uses fat tire ebikes even though her tours are all on roads, not trails. She finds they are more forgiving for...

What a story!

Thanks....that is the kind of info I was looking for. The motor does not make noise when it is working hard, say climbing a steep hill. And upon closer observation, it is not just when I am starting up a slight hill, but also when I am starting down a slight hill. So I am still pedaling, but the...

The geared hub motor on my Magnum Ui5 makes some noise whenever I am slowing down but still pedaling, like when I am starting up a very gradual hill and my speed is dropping as the motor is working. My wife's bike is the same model but does not make this noise. Most of the time the motor is...

There actually is a an ABS system for bicycle now: http://www.kingindustries.ca/SABS.htm

Yes, I am eager to try it out on the recumbent bike I picked up on Craigslist. Without any electric assist, the bike is heavy and a bit slow, although I have read that it really does take a while for your muscles to get used to pedaling a recumbent. But with 750 watts of power from the...

It might be important to note that on most of the off road biking trails in the designated wilderness areas of the National Forest around Sedona, motorized vehicles of any kind are NOT allowed. We have road style bikes so we ride a lot on the roads around here....early mornings and non-holiday...

It might work....if you just ride downhill all of the time :)

Another option on most ebikes is to set the electric assist level to the lowest setting. If I put my bike's assist in level one (out of six levels with six being the strongest), it is just enough to overcome the added weight of the bicycle compared to a non-electric bike. At that lowest level...

Time will tell. It is not unusual at all for a new product like this to experience major delays at launch. The delays all involved major improvements to the design, but as always, the proof will be in the pudding. I put my money down on a unit and will report back here honestly on how it works...

Pretty good specs for the price: http://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radcity-electric-commuter-bike?variant=27902381057

Just to be clear, I am just a backer and have no position with the company. You can try sending a message on here to Jeff Guida: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/members/jeff-guida.3799/
