Welcome to the forum! I'm curious about which folding ebike you'd had. I don't have a folding bike now, but for two years I uses a titanium frame Brompton (wonderful bike!) to commute with. I loved it, and maybe I should have looked at their ebike offerings before going with a non-folding...

The poor response from VoltBikes would certainly make me not buy from them. I’m a firm believer that buying from a good local dealer is very important. An ebike often needs a lot more support than a regular bike and it would be really tough to get that support if you bought online. Also it’s...

Welcome from a fellow Canadian! I don’t know anything about that bike... are you getting it from a local dealer or ordering online? What made you choose it?

Welcome to the forum! Ride safe! Will the bike be for commuting or just for fun rides? When you have the chance photos would be welcome.

Welcome Mark, Salut! I'm also from Montreal (West Island actually). How about some photos of your new bike? With the self-isolation going on here in Montreal, I'm not commuting (yet) as I'd usually do, but am using my bike (Giant Explore E+1) just for fun rides and to keep in shape. My...

I've never found a chart for adjusting the shock pressure. The common suggestion is that the shock should compress only about 20% with the rider's weight on it. Often there is a rubber o-ring on the shock that you first put at the fully uncompressed setting, sit on the bike with your full...

Further to my successful firmware upgrade on my 2019 Explore E+1 GTS, I've found a new "feature" that I DO NOT like at all! When I turn on the power the headlight (and taillight of course) stays OFF. It used to come on with the power and if I wanted it off, I'd have to then do that manually...

Just wanted to tell about my experience in updating the firmware on my 2019 Explore E+1 GTS... Before I updated the RideControl app on my iPhone, I had no problem connecting to my bike although with having an EVO display I didn't do it often. A few months ago the RideControl app got updated...

Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of ebiking! I can't advise you about those two bikes but will suggest that one of the most important things is to have a good local dealer you can depend on. An e-bike will often need more care and adjustment than a regular bike and without a good...

Great that you've included a photo! Nice looking bike. And you're lucky to have found a good local dealer... that's quite important in my opinion. Even with a small frame size on my bike I find it difficult to get my leg up and over, especially with loaded panniers. I almost wish I'd have...

Welcome to the forum! How about some photos of your bike?

Welcome to the forum! Have you had your Rad City since 2016 or is it something you just got? 40kph!!!! Good stuff! Did YOU put on those 4,000 km on the bike? My bike, as per Federal law here, will only give power assist up to 32kph and I wish it would go faster. I often find I'm...

Thanks for the clarification.

It wasn't so much an issue of how *I* ride (sensibly or not) but rather a question about whether or not such a bike could be legally sold here in Canada. If Canadian Federal law says that an e-bike cannot have assist at higher than 32kph, then I very much doubt if any legitimate bike maker...

Does anyone know if the Canadian e-bike Class laws have changed recently? So recently that websites still don't show the changes? I understand there's a Giant e-bike model for 2020 which is a Class 3 bike... meaning it'll give assist up to 45kph (28mph). I can't remember which model that...

Geez, that's it!! I found the thread, but "mud" is still too short a word for searching. Here's the thread: Mud Flap and Mirror Cheers!

Back in October or November of 2019 I posted a thread about how to make a custom mud guard and I included photos. I can't remember which board I put it in and now I can't find the thread with a search. I've tried searching for threads with the words "guard", "mudguard" ("mud" is too short) and...

Anthony, What's that expression about two countries separated by language... something along those lines. :) Anyway, as far as I believe, fenders and mudguards are two different things. Many bikes come with fenders, but rarely with mudguards. My Explore E+1 GTS came with fenders, but I...

Congratulations on your bike, and welcome to the forum! Just curious, but if you're using your bike for touring, how do you plan to handle charging your battery? And since it's very unlikely that you'll get a full day of riding (especially with hills and luggage!) out of one battery, will you...

Welcome to the forum and to the world of e-biking! Will you be commuting with your bike or using it just for pleasure rides?
