That lock and roll system looks pretty good

I ride 2 different bikes to work, the electric from home when its not forecast to rain a lot and my mountain bike when it is raining, that one gets placed in the back of the truck and gets ridden a mile or so to allow free parking. Thats on rainy days. I have panniers for the locks, battery...

I short circuit any conversations of that nature. While stopped at a light if I notice them checking the bike out I just nod and right off say I am a cheater. Then i ignore them, life's too short to spar with idiot's.

Thanks for the advice Ann, I will do a bit of research then order the tire liners. I just recently picked up a mountain bike that I hope to convert to a mid drive sometime over the coming winter so it will get the tire liners as well. On another note I went down to a local bike shop and picked...

I,ve been riding my e bike to work for a couple of weeks now. trying out various routes and power assist levels. Got the time each way from 35 to 50 minutes and have put a bit over 300 km's on. And got the first flat. The bike has e bike rated Schwabe Marathon tires that are puncture resistant...

I have the same bike and I am enjoying it more and more. At first I found the seat uncomfortable but but now that it has been ridden a bit over 200 km's it seems to be broken in and much more comfortable. The dealer installed full fenders and a rear evo rack to which I added the evo panniers...

Well 2 nights ago on the road I mentioned in the above post a 38 yr old cyclist riding home from work with a friend at 1 am was hit and killed by a 24 yr old who fled the the scene. The police caught him yesterday and it turns out he was impaired. And he was wearing reflective clothing and had...

Well i took the bike to the dealer and he hooked it up to his computer and it seems all is well. It did receive a firmware update and the battery management system appears to working correctly.

That's great advice and I will get a timer and a surge protector. Also I emailed Bionx and they responded saying please take the the bike to the dealer to get it diagnosed which will happen today. Hopefully it's not something critical, the bionx has a 3 year warranty so not to worried. I will...

Where i live in Winnipeg it's mediocre at best. The local municipal govt has started to build bike paths but they usually don't connect to each other. The main road I use to get to work, what they did was paint a picture of a bike on the right side every few hundred yards and proclaim it a bike...

Thanks for the info. Until i get to the dealer the battery will be recharged on the garage floor not near any combustibles. I had just read about the bike dealer Crazy Lenny's so that really got me thinking.

Now I seem to be having an issue. When I decided to charge the battery for the 1st time when I came out to the garage in the morning the ring around the charge port was green indicating the battery had re charged and the charger had shut off. The next time the battery was put on charge when I...

I took my road bike which is an EVO HB1 disc out for a good test ride today. I live in Winnipeg which is in the province of Manitoba, today the temp was 4 degrees Celcius with occasional drizzle. I'm planning to ride to work, a distance of a little over 12 kilometers, pretty much flat all the...

I have not been riding enough to exhaust the battery yet. The weather here has been cold and snowy with quite a bit of ice still in patches. However on the rides I have been on it seems that the battery is lasting longer than on the first 20 km ride I managed. I will explain, on the first ride...

20 km ride yesterday. There was a 1 1/2 km stretch on a bike bike where I was using level 3 assist and pedaling in top gear and was able to maintain 32 km's per hour speed. At the end of that stretch I was a bit winded but I am 63 and have not ridden a bicycle for a few years. The path had a...

Here in Winnipeg it sells for $3495, our dollar is not great right now, after I put the deposit on it I found a bike shop in Vanc BC selling it for $2600 plus a cpl hundred for shipping but after reading many posts it seemed a good idea to buy locally for any service issues. I wouldn,y mind...

Finally got to take it for a ride today, just a few blocks up the street then back to get a feel for it. Level 1, not really noticeable , level 2 I started smiling, by level 4 was grinning from ear to ear. No real effort and 25 kph like right now. then I tried the throttle for a second and well...

The wait for spring is killing me. So far I,ve bought a New Yorker krytonite U lock and a Kryptonite chain lock and and bought a headlight, taillight, tire irons and pump and am getting the bicycle shop to install full fenders and a rear rack. Also purchased panniers made by EVO and a high...
