Cool man cave.

I'm sorry, George. I'm really lost here. There is no Chinese middle market of Ebikes. There's just cheap. That's why they sell so many. Everything else is solely made for Western economies. China has always produced emulations of high technology. Currie has access to it. Why would they...

Just make sure you get the rain resistant stuff. ;)

Another option: cardboard.

NYCE wheels did a comparison of the last generation: https://www.nycewheels.com I agree with it. Stromer probably has the last gen unless you're an actual cyclist. Looks like the next gen Turbo wins, though not by much. However, Stromer definitely still has something up it's sleeve... I...

Not everyone likes ebikes. :( In China, they're actually known as the "silent killer" because no one hears one before it hits you. They've started outlawing them in certain cities there. NYC has passed it's second law banning ebikes from city streets. Ebikes have found a "grey area" in the...

Here's a guy that builds steel frames locally that completely disproves the notion that steel has to be heavy: www.silentcycles.com. So awesome. Carbon is sweet, but be aware that it flexes and batteries don't. So integrated batteries with carbon frames can be a little squeaky.

Larry, let me just say that I tried the Path+ last week and that bike feels like a high tech ride for a very low price. Nice work. You know this stuff way better than me, but here's my take on it. It seems that most of the innovation we've seen in the past has derived from European designs...

It went very well, thanks guys!

If it's really something you're concerned about, just adopt a faster ride cadence as you should a normal bike. That should keep a your cassette nice and healthy.

Yeah. That's a good question. If you're really hitting it with something like a BH or Dash, then yeah, it can damage the teeth. I've done a good bit of damage to my cassettes in the past. But quite frankly, who cares? It's fun to ride hard and freewheels and cassettes aren't too expensive...

GOTCHA!!! :p Maybe next year, Ravi.

Guys, Thank you so much! I'll try to work it all in. We'll see how it goes. You'll be able to see it on the TED talks website.

Hey everyone, I'm giving a presentation about ebikes on Thursday night at our city outdoors center. I was wondering if there any unique facts or stories about ebikes that you think I should share, especially to people that are new to them. Cheers. -Chandlee

Ravi! No worries, man! I wasn't referring to your post, and I didn't even want to get into the specifics at all. As for you knowing more than the sales/tech guys, I would probably just go in and do a test ride if I were you. I pride myself in knowing more about the bikes than the company...

Hey Oilerlord, I hope that wasn't the only thing you took from my post. That guy simply didn't want to pay taxes on his Prodeco, so he purchased on Amazon. We match prices, but we obviously don't help people evade taxes. We're still friends with him and we're clearly not going to turn down...

Hey everybody, Okay, so I’m going to be pretty biased on this one for obvious reasons. But this is a big issue, and there are some things y’all should take into account. First of all, ebikes currently account for a .01% of all bike sales in America. That statistic alone should scare the hell...

Hey @Larry Pizzi! Any demos coming through the southeast anytime soon? It's the first bike that I've had a road cyclist park outside and walk in to ask about.

LOL, @FitzChivalry. Yeah, lovely deceptive bike that one. It was always hilarious when someone wanted to see the "fastest bike we've got" and I would take them to the city commuter. I tended to spend a much longer time prepping people for that bike than the others. It's great.
