    AVOID THIS EBIKE DEALER

    I've worked in bike shops that are on the rocks, or outright failing. The kind of action you've outlined is much worse than what I encountered. In our case we had low stock, and a hard time ordering in new models, especially for a customer who wanted to test ride it. But taking money, not...

    Manhattan’s only e bike store closed down

    That is really too bad about NYCE wheels. I know the pain all too well watching Blue Monkey (retail) go down. Peter, if you're reading this, hit me up on bluemonkeybicycles.com, get in contact with me. I'm sure we'd have a lot to talk about. Local retailers are on the front lines of the...

    China Tour, BMB Exclusive

    Hey y'alls! If you're curious, there's one more factory tour video, and I've saved the best for last. Until then, here is another factory I toured, but didn't have enough footage to properly do an EBR tour. So, I made a shorted (heavily edited) spotlight video for Blue Monkey's channel. Also...

    EBR goes to China! Pt.3 Shengyi Motors

    Hey guys! Here is a post about Shengyi Motors in Suzhou City China. As a brief re-cap, I was paid by several companies to film their facilities and sort of introduce them as a provider for electric bike parts through Electric Bike Review, and Blue Monkey Bicycles. The companies include APT...

    How accurate is your distance (miles remaining) meter?

    I've range tested at least 20 bikes, and I've noticed a pattern. They seem to have very conservative estimates for the first 50% of the battery, then things start getting goofy. Most of the time 50 to 10% holds firm at a certain estimate, then at <10 it starts to flash and panic.

    Drop shippers

    There's a lot of "me-too" sites that drop ship anything hot or trendy that makes money, and eBikes are in that category. So much so, that there are a grip of online dropshippers who "specialize" in eBikes, but in reality, they have 0 inventory, and only re-list bikes from companies that allow...

    The solution to range anxiety

    I have a drill at home that charges itself when I drill it. I have a pen that fills itself with ink from the sentence I write. I have a bank account that gets larger when I make a withdraw. I'm hungry... Wheres the bathroom?

    If you want total comfort, you can get this recumbent seat. Easily the most comfortable seat I've ever sat in.

    eProdigy's secret sauce?

    The internal gears in the motor are metal. I'm told they have one that has been in service for 10 years.

    eProdigy's secret sauce?

    Their previous models had some fit and finish issues for sure. I think they've done some growing up since then; their Magic bikes are a big improvement for them.

    Magic Pro Video Review

    I'd rather have a regular set of gears than an internal, if speed is your goal.

    eProdigy's secret sauce?

    Best kept secret in eBikes in my opinion. Everyone is going bananas over the Haibike with a TQ motor, but the eProdigy has the same specs and a longer track record. I think I'm going to build a custom eProdigy soon.

    Hill climbing ability?

    Hill climbing depends on a wealth of factors. It climbs hills for me just fine in my area, with my riding style.
