Not having a LBS to work on the bike isn't really a deal breaker IMO. Mobile bike mechanics are available in most larger urban areas. Velofix is one of the bigger outfits that will come to where you and the bike are and work on your internet ebike, no questions asked. Velofix North America's...

Congrats! Please tell us about your commute and the surfaces you are riding on. I'm really considering this bike but wonder about the extra rolling resistance and noise from the fat tires.

Quite a bit from where I stand. :)

I started a thread actually on the elusive decent quality sub $1,000 ebike and was mainly told that it can't happen. 🤔

Smaller battery Ah on the Leisure model as well.

How's that large front basket effect the steering /handling?

The Nyx X14 e-bike powered by the MXUS V3 Turbo can sustain a continuous 3000W of power and up to 14,000W of peak power. With just the throttle, speeds up to 95km/h are attainable. from 0 to 50 km/h in less than 4.5 sec and a range of 80km at 32kmh. The hub motor is also upgradable with the QS...

You're making a lot of sense here.

Compare it to the Juiced Rip Current. Thoughts?

Sorry but I'm not buying one of these to ride it w/o assist.

Good news for our industry... Between 2006 and 2012, e-bikes represented less than 1 percent of all annual bike sales. In 2013, only 1.8 million e-bikes were solid in all of Europe, while customers in the US bought a measly 185,000. But things started to shift, thanks to improvements in...

Does the company offer any sales to lower the prices?

I'm not a fan of the Pace's smaller battery (11.6Ah / 556.8Wh) than Rad's.

For these type of bikes hydraulic vs mechanical brakes has little value. I'd actually argue that the mechanical brakes are better for the casual user as they are easier to adjust and service than the hydraulic and provide just as good of stopping power in real life.

Does not come standard with racks, lights, or fenders. Not a very good commuter w/o those extras, which when added pushes the price point over $2.5k. I'd look at offerings outside of the Big 3 for the most bang for your buck.

OK, but the hilly ride was just one example I mentioned. The commute he does is mostly flat and, bottom line, he is reporting range anxiety. Also, RAD actually uses 750W brushless Bafang geared hub motors with 80 Nm of torque, and a 5:1 planetary gear reduction in most of their models. The City...

Ahhh...sure enough...you are right! :D

My friend has the bike. The battery range is quoted at up to 60 miles pedal assist or 25 miles on throttle alone, but he found that to be a little…"optimistic." He has returned from a mountainous 10-mile ride going fairly easy on the throttle/pedal assist and only had 25%-35% range left. That...

Cool. I hear they are going to run the Ezee motor in the production bikes though.

Hilleater 52V Galiano Phaserunner edition: Ezee or GMAC 500W hub motor with locked clutch allowing strong regen braking. Grin Phaserunner advanced motor controller capable of up to 35A Grin Cycle Analyst V3 display. The standard for e-bike displays, allows custom tuning and customization for...
