    Don't take your hands off the handlebars of your ebike !

    When going on long rides, I have a problem with my hands going numb. Had the same problem on my motorcycle when I owned one, my analog bike and now on my new Yamaha ebike. And yes, I do wear a good pair of padded gloves. So I do sometimes ride handsfree when I feel it is safe to do so just to...

    What are your cold weather ebike limits?

    Rode my bike yesterday in about 51°f which isn't too bad, except it was quite windy. Rode about 35 miles and used a lot more of pas then I did on a couple previous rides to get through the wind. Used about 55% of my battery which is about the same I used last week on a 50 mile ride. Would have...

    2021 Crosscore?

    I am going to stick with the cross core for a year or so, and then look again at the Cervante. But at that price point, there is a lot of food choices out there. It is mind boggling the amount of different bikes available...I just wanted a well known name for my first one..

    Congrats on the new bikes. What color were you able to get? My store only had blue and red for the cross connects, I wanted grey or white..

    What are your cold weather ebike limits?

    I wasn't going to go out when the weather went under 60f, but since I haven't ridden in a few days and I miss it, I will trek out and ride in the forty- fifty degree weather tomorrow. Finally an addiction that isn't going to kill me...

    New radrunner xmas came early just need some tips!!

    I purchased my Yamaha cross core from a lbs and had the same problem. I brought it back to the shop and let them do the adjustment. It took only a few minutes, but this way it was done right. I would ask Rad if they would cover the cost of you bringing it to a lbs to adjust it. Any decent bike...

    2021 Crosscore?

    I just picked up a 2020 cross core. According to the owner of the store I purchased, the only difference will be the colors.

    How fast are people riding?

    Reading about the speeds that some of you maintain, makes me think about biting the bullet and trading my less then a week old class 1 for a class 3 bike.. I average about 12-15 mph riding flat and I did take it to the velodrome near me and was maintaining between 19-19 1/2 mph doing laps...

    What are your plans for winter exercise? Keep riding your ebike or an exercise bike?

    Here in NY we have been lucky, so far a pretty mild winter. Even got in a 50 mile ride on my new Yamaha a couple days ago. I hate the cold weather, and it looks like the cooler weather is on the way. But I do enjoy riding since starting this summer on my new analog bike, I have a feeling I am...

    Yamaha Cross Core 20 mph limit

    Thanks for the info. I basically bought the ebike to get to work and will use my Specialized analog bike for my real workout. Just would have been nice to have some more speed on the velodrome, but that is on me for skimping on some money and taking the cross core over the Cervante..Did a 50...

    Yamaha Cross Core 20 mph limit

    Just went on their site and I don't believe they have one available for the PW-SE motor yet. Wrote to them to see if hopefully one in the near future. Thanks again for their info .

    Yamaha Cross Core 20 mph limit

    Thanks. Something I will definitely look into. A lot cheaper then switching up to the Cervante..

    Yamaha Cross Core 20 mph limit

    I guess it is not really a big deal. I should have spent the extra money and bought the Cervante that limits at 28mph. I did a 50 mile ride on the bike, and I was finally able to get up a hill that I couldn't do on my analog bike. As a matter of fact, I passed by 4 or 5 people walking their...

    Yamaha Cross Core 20 mph limit

    Took my new cross core to the local velodrome and did some laps. Seems like the motor turns off before I reach the 20 mph limit. I was only getting up to about 19 1/2 miles an hour, and even for that, it took a lot of my exertion. Basically the same speed that I have ridden my analog Specialized...

    Ergon vs cheap generic

    I picked up my Yamaha cross core a couple days ago and found I need different grips in order to relieve the pain and numbness in my hands. I am going to order a set of ergonomic grips with horns, but have found a great difference in price of the generic ones vs the Ergon gp5. I definitely want...

    Rear rack for Yamaha cross core

    Picked up the bike today. Realized since I put the suspension seat post on the bike, the Topeak racks that attach to the seat post won't work. Not enough room to fit...
