    Hybrid electric scooter

    Here is a fun looking electric scooter with a gas tank and a small generator for unlimited range: https://motorino.ca/motorino-xmb I still am amazed that someone can produce a bike like this with 20 amp battery, full integrated lights including turn signals, mirrors, fenders, suspension and...

    ShareRoller V3, expansively described & illustrated here...

    I posted this on July 8th on another thread about the ShareRoller: Just got the following message from Jeff at ShareRoller. Unfortunately, they are hitting some more snags and are now talking about delivery in November. Hopefully, all of these later improvements will have been worth the wait...

    Hubs...current "State of Art" and Hill Climbing....

    I wonder if one of the "all wheel drive" models with two hub motors would work. It would give you more traction. Or you could add a front hub motor to your mid drive bike.

    ShareRoller - Quick and Dirty Electric Bikes

    Yes, it seems to be par for the course with a lot of crowd-funded campaigns for completely new products for there to be a lot of delays. I still have a good feeling about the ShareRoller, and some of the delays are due to the decision to make some major improvements to the design, so hopefully...

    No, it has been quiet. I hope that means they are busy working out the bugs.

    My new Magnum Ui5 : first impressions

    I spent last week on Cape Cod and it was in the mid 70s which felt great. Unfortunately, I did not have my bike with me :(

    My new Magnum Ui5 : first impressions

    Flagstaff has an extensive network of over 50 miles of paved and packed dirt dedicated bike paths. You can download a PDF of the map here: http://www.flagstaff.az.gov/index.aspx?NID=1521 It is pretty easy to plot out a 20-30 mile route that is mostly on bike paths. We drive up there a lot in...

    My new Magnum Ui5 : first impressions

    I got a comfier black saddle as I have very little built in padding on my butt and so I need all the help I can get, as described in this thread: http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/my-long-journey-to-a-comfortable-butt.3127/ I have also had the chain fall off a couple of times, but...

    front suspension with bodyfloat vs full suspension

    The body-float the OP mentioned is another brand of seatpost suspension, so he is doing just as you suggest.

    Am I crazy to consider an EV?

    Good points. And anything that reduces the miles you travel in your car, or better yet makes a car unnecessary altogether, is going to make a bigger difference than the particular type of car. I'm happy to say that our Prius is 4 1/2 years old and only has 24K miles on it.

    Am I crazy to consider an EV?

    I considered an electric or at least a plug-in hybrid when we shopped for our current car, a regular hybrid Prius. The main other contender was a Chevy Volt. But we do not have solar and cannot add it as we rent our home. When I calculated the actual CO2 emissions considering that here in...

    ShareRoller V3, expansively described & illustrated here...

    I just heard from Jeff Guida, and he reported that the new batteries with the current design have upgraded cells, so the capacity is 20% more on the standard battery and 12% more on the Ultra battery than what is listed on the Indiegogo page. So probably around 265 watt-hour for the standard and...
