Every aspect of the e-bike industry is WAY overpriced for what you get. But in a small niche market, that is just the way it is. Low quantity of sales means higher markups to pay salaries etc. I expect all e-bikes to average around 2-3x manufacturing cost. And that will not change until the...

I use these and they are awesome. They have a liner like a swimsuit that contains the pad. Solved my sore butt issues :) Also nobody knows LOL http://www.amazon.com/HAMSWAN-Loose-Fit-Padded-Breathable-Cycling/dp/B00UT5ZYP2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Lee

Here is an update by Roshan Production underway - painting frames has begun Hi there, It has been a while since I updated you so I thought I'll bring you all up to speed. It has been crazy busy over the past week, sourcing the right parts and ensuring they all arrive on time. The biggest...

I understand the message, but wouldn't auction these things off (out of state) provided needed tax dollars for the city? But I assume they think they have unlimited funds (more taxes).

Lithium batteries are limited to 100Wh in size by the FAA. So that rules out most all ebike batteries.

Maybe the lycra is to tight, causing certain insecurities :)

Why people can't mind their own business, is beyond me. If people have nothing nice to say, they should just move on. Would he rather you be in a car? less cars on the road is good for him. This is why I'm an introvert! I always say that I hate people, and in general that is true. People...

I hope they ditch the little hexagon wheels. I think that looks a bit tacky. Its a great concept, but I think the US market likes stuff a bit cleaner in terms of aesthetics. In general I wish bike makers would use less bling. Solid colors with minimal logos. If I'm paying top dollar, I...

Can someone explain power assist factor? I see many ebike & motor manufactures throwing these numbers around, but I'm not sure what they mean. If some states a power assist factor of 1.15, what does that mean? Thanks!

Yes believe so.

I think most (not all) vendors contract out the bikes to china. If you search hard enough, you can find almost all of them cheaper on Alibaba. I see no issue with this. Now if a vendor is just having completed bikes drop shipped from china without any inspection/QA, I would have a problem...

I think new riders would be better suited with a ebike with a torque sensor. That is why my first ebike will have a torque sensor. I hear cadence sensors kick in to hard. Maybe a throttle only would be a second choice for first timers.

If I go the DIY route later on, I think I will go super simple with magic pie throttle only 1500w. It would be my play bike, and the pedal assist for exercise. I have no serious medical issues that should keep me from getting into shape. My issue is I sit in front of a computer 60 hours a...

I am a maker, so I do intend on going the DIY route once I decide what I really want. But what I really need at the moment is some exercise :) I ordered the Biktrix Montecapro as my first ebike, it is a class 1, so it meets the exercise criteria. Since I work from home, I will be riding just...

I too am a bit overweight :) 230lbs. I went the opposite direction. I bought a regular bike first. My thought was to ride the regular bike to get back into some kinda shape before my ebike arrives. I too have not been on a bike in 20+ years. My reasoning for going this route is, I plan on...

The 27 rear 29 front full suspension mountain bike is very interesting. To bad no US dealers, its a pretty bike :)

Walmart is not selling this bike. It's a marketplace sale by wayfair. Walmart online has a marketplace that allows other sellers to sale their products. Similar to Amazon. Just wanted to point that out. Lee

All, Roshan sent the following update to us that have preordered. Still looks like there are 15 available preorders left at the 1799 price. William (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Hello early adopters, I just wanted to update you on the status of the MonteCapro project. I'll keep it...

Ok I spoke to Rich @ electric bike city. He has brought this up with his lawyer and here is what he said. NC has no ebike specific laws. The lawyers opinion is that under NC law an ebike would be considered a motor vehicle. With that said, he has never heard of anyone ever getting hassled...

I saw this link, According to this, it looks like slow neighborhood road, sidewalks, and bike paths are allowed. But not roads with speeds over 25. However other than this link, I can find nothing else that verifies this. I do not plan on riding on main roads, so that is no concern. But I do...
