    Newbie needs some advice

    Smart motion Pacer is a sexy beast. Had I been less budget conscious I'd have bought her! Unfortunately didn't want more than 500w or 20m/Hr lol. But she's so perfect otherwise!

    Proviz Reflective Jackets - Have any experience?

    I like my lightweight windbreaker jacket, but I'm on the fence about replacing it with a cycling jacket like the proviz. I currently wear a safety vest (construction worker style) on my night ride home. Kind of embarrassing but I like the illusion of safety. Does anyone have experience with...

    Canadian Winter Ready Comfort Commuter - Research Stalemate

    Thanks! That makes me feel better. I have tried to ride in mild weather and was a little worried. Onto something really weird. I decided on a Hexlox kit to secure components which are quick release only bike. Here was some delay and communication before he kit arrived earlier this month. I...

    Need a bike light

    I've been trying to find something to mimic the Smartmotion Pacers downtube lighting that hits the street. I've got the bottle cage bosses but haven't found the product. Ideally it could plug I into the upper USB port on my battery. Good luck in your search hon, I've had a hell of a time...

    Canadian Winter Ready Comfort Commuter - Research Stalemate

    85 km! I have a rust spot on the part of my left pedal that screws into the crank arm. Anything I can use to remove or prevent that? I've been happy so far. Much more comfortable at higher assist levels and handling around turns. I even tried the bike lane! Everything seems to be holding...

    Throttle vs. No throttle

    I test rode both and I can tell you that after a month of riding 3-4 days out of a week on mildly stop and go short commute that there's one serious drawback to torque sensing however minor. I use the sidewalk and when I'm stopped at a streetlight corner I'm always very cautious about what...

    Am I a hypocrite?

    I don't use my throttle, but I wanted one because I thought if I ever dropped a chain and couldn't fix it, I could get home. Going fast scares the crap out-of me. 20m/hour is fast enough! If I shared the sidewalk or a bike lane I'd match speed with other bikers as best I can.

    Over50's Charger Chronicles

    I wonder if the boomerang is narrow enough to slide into a seat tube. If future iterations were, they could partner with a fastener company like hexlox to secure the seat tube. I haven't secured all my hexlox yet and will review when I do, but it could be used on the bottles bosses. Weak point...

    Fenders and Frame Locks

    Noise from the puddle covered sidewalks swishing water up my fenders was kind of wigging me out on the ride home tonight. I'm loathe to touch my fenders, and if I had something that could possibly clip away the boys of the mounting area touching the fenders I might try that. It will take some...

    Fenders and Frame Locks

    Need help. My Abus frame lock cant comfortably wrap around my Surface604 fenders AND be ziptied to the rear racks stays connecting to the seat post. I don't want to abandon the idea of having it on my rear wheel as a convenient lock for coffee runs, but I don't know how to use it now. I'd have...

    Canadian Winter Ready Comfort Commuter - Research Stalemate

    I have been riding and have logged nearly 50km so far going to and from work. We had some snow and ice around Christmas, and I lazed around the house over my vacation for two weeks. I got excellent range on half my battery before recharging it. My local Velofix rep seemed to prefer weekend...

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    So while temperatures were around -10c I made my first trip in and home from work yesterday. I misjudged my speed on one of the first turns and enjoyed a soft snowy landing. Other than that everything worked great! The short ten minute ride didn't impact the charge icons or the battery ticks on...

    Help choosing 20'-wheel Folding E-bike for NYC

    @rad power Tasmania owners will definitely perk up see hat beast on your list. Rad makes a great product - if heir city commuter hadn't been too powerful for laws where I live, I'd have ordered it. The rad mini is a solid option!

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    @Kelly @ CitrusCycles.ca Do you know if Surface has touch up paint available? Just remembered I have a bit more than a nick on my fork, and wasn't sure what I could cover my exposed metal with. I even thought buying enamel paint (normally for bathroom fixtures) from work could be a temporary...

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    If the agent had read the attached details she'd know that, but I doubt she did. So I lose the warmest month I have of winter commuting because a professional broker won't stay professional. It just rots me to know someone like her handles the lost important kind of insurance for home owners...

    The Stormtrooper: My White Surface Rook

    The tuneup is done but I'm facing a setback. The broker at the home insurance agency is a birdbrain (seriously, I won't get into the history about her mishandling things) and has gotten into a snit. She's mad for some reason that I've registered and paid money towards the Kryptonite Anti Theft...
