    anybody ever get a flat with their shwalbe's and what was it from?

    Interesting enough, I also had only one incident with a flat tire on my Schwalbe Energizer when they were pretty new. Never found a puncture so I believe it was a valve issue. Tubes in there now are about two and a half years old. When I eventually replace them, I'll toss between the...

    Battery quicky

    Afternoon, Does a waning battery drain quicker as it gets older? I have a 2 year old 400 watt Bosch battery that seems to be drain more rapidly then I seem to remember. It only has about 100 full charges on it and when fully charged it does read within a few miled shorter then when new. I...

    New Bosch Motors Q&A

    As far as I'm concerned, A class 3 ebike can go as slow as a class 1 ebike. A human powered bicycle is capable of going faster than any class ebike.

    How heavy is your eBike, and do you care?

    45 lb Felt Sporte 85 HP. Helps going up a half a dozen stairs into the house, or onto my workstand and car rack. As far as the walk mode mentioned earlier, I find it way too quick to control. The bike wants to take off and counter balancing it with the brakes simultaneously is a pain. I never...

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    Hey Alaskan, how are ya, Sometimes the "let's try it and see" is the only course available. My bosch system is still cutting out intermittently and I started this thread a year ago. Once I tightened my battery and it was good for 9-10 months without any issues. Then it started again in July...

    What Valid E-bike Complaints have you Heard?

    That's why people learn to drive automobiles in empty parking lots at first. If you can't handle your vehicle, you shouldn't be in close proximity to others until you can. Common sense?

    What Valid E-bike Complaints have you Heard?

    Not a complaint: A class 3 ebike can go as slow as a class 1 or 2 ebike. A class 1 or 2 ebike can go as fast as a class 3 ebike. A human powered bike can go as fast as any of them. I'm not a believer in the class system restrictions. I guess I'm complaining.

    ebikes on rail trails from both sides...

    I agree Over50. I'm surprised how fast some of the bikers go in congested areas. As I mentioned above, there's a strip for the better part of a mile that is always busy on my daily ride. Wouldn't bother me if there was a speed limit posted for that stretch. Would bother me either if...

    ebikes on rail trails from both sides...

    I'd say most of the issues involved are joggers and walkers not paying attention to the marked lanes of the paths. Rarely are they observed on the the local paths near me. But I'm not biased in any way.

    Has anybody completely resolved their intermittent system shut down issue?

    Morning all, I'm still getting an arbitrary system shut down. It may not happen one day but then it could occur 3 or 4 times the following day. Sometimes right after each other or with a decent amount of time in between. I would intentionally jiggle the Intuvia display or the battery when...

    ebikes on rail trails from both sides...

    Really, why shouldn't there be. Any ebike should be allowed anywhere a regular bike and biker could go no matter what class it is. Common sense should prevail when coming upon crowded area. Courtesy is the rider's responsibility. It has nothing to do with the mode of transportation. If...
