Wow Tom. I own a 2015 Raleigh Detour iE and a 2016 Pedego Ridge Rider and I agree with everything you said. But then I bought the Raleigh at just about half the price of the Pedego on close-out for $1,699. I added a BodyFloat to the Raleigh and it improved the bump absorption dramatically and...

The brands going to a sub-category is a great idea. I would suggest that if there is a top group of brands that accounts for a clear majority of the market, those will be listed first, then there's a space and everything else is listed alphabetically. For example in an optics manufacturers'...

Today we took two 2016 Ridge Riders (picture 1) on an identical 24.2 mile loop. One Ridge Rider had the standard 11.6 ah battery, while the second had a 14 ah battery that had a very limited production run as a 17 ah option is coming later this year (that's the rumor anyway as I understand...

You get what you pay for Tom. As Court says between minute five and six in his Pedago Ridge Runner video review, "A really solid offering at this price point." Although $400 more than the amount you communicated you wanted to spend. As far as minimal exercise value, the recent Pedago...

I am also sold on the ridiculously priced BodyFloat. I have my BodyFloat's springs configured orange over black on my Raleigh; on one of my Ridge Rider test rides I borrowed a shim and used the BodyFloat, very nice and not bouncy like the Thudbuster.

Nice ebike, and with the 17 amp upgrade option.

I'm hoping with the 14 amp battery I can actually bike to some of the trail heads instead of hauling it with my car, or just get dropped off. Blue Monkey Electric Bicycles took the Ridge Rider up Scott's Pass (aka "Puke Hill" Utah) to see how it'd fare. Their verdict? "The Ridge Rider climbed...

UPDATE: Spoke to the factory trained mechanic at Pedego Franklin dealership (Nashville). Said he can't speak for other bikes, but on Pedegos that is no problem. The borrowed Pedego Ridge Rider I road and ultimately bought a new one is more powerful than my Raleigh Detour iE though. By the...

No, I took my panniers and rack trunk off; gave me my 1.5mph right back :rolleyes:

Two test rides on a Ridge Rider and around fifty miles total and I'm in. I was very worried at 6'1" the bike would be too small for me. Pick it up next week. Franklin Tennessee dealer (Nashville).

So I have had a Raleigh Detour iE for a month, and for the first two of five bars on the battery level the bike cruises effortlessly on level ground at or around 20.2 mph. Today, the battery depleted to under 40% (two then one bar on the battery level) and the bike with the exact same pedaling...

Agreed. Having said that, the range on the 11 amp is remarkable. If you Google reviews of the Ridge Rider you can find some great mileage, better than the assist heavy 28 mile loop I did that saw 26% left afterwards. That was actually closer to 30 miles as I neglected in the first post to...

I have not seen the rumored 17 amp and so I do not know for certain it exists although I was told by someone within the organization it will be released in the coming months. This makes sense as their cargo bike comes standard with a 13 amp battery and with a 17 amp optional for another $300...

Ended up buying the previous version of the Thule T2 Pro 9035 (https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-pro-9035-_-1689770), the new one is a bit easier to use, but is $549 instead of $449. Not supposed to use with bikes with fenders, but like others I do with no...

Thule makes numerous models that can take sixty pounds per slot. However, with 1.25" receiver, total combined weight of both bikes both not to exceed 100 lbs. If you have 2" receiver it is 120 lbs. I love mine, it was $449 and is on a Fusion Energi. I remove batteries and barely make the 100...

Most any bike with throttle will also have pedal so Both. Numerous bikes will have throttle over-ride meaning regardless of your assist level chosen, torque or cadence sensor, you can hit the throttle for more. The best I've ridden is the Pedego Ridge Rider. Going up a steep grade if I am...

My new Pedego Ridge Rider will come with a special run 14 amp battery instead of an 11 amp battery (the 11 amp version is what Court tested on this site (https://electricbikereview.com/pedego/ridge-rider/). And instead of the 556 Watt Hours this has 672 (eventually a 17 amp will be available...

Michael at the large Trek-only dealer in Chattanooga warned me you have to change your pedal motion to keep from bouncing on the ThudBuster, I've also seen that posted this site. John, the owner of Bikes Etc. in Huntsville, AL mentioned they've had some durability issues with ThudBusters. The...

My Raleigh Detour iE has 8 speeds. When stopping I used to gear down from 8th to 6th or 5th gear so that I'm ready to take off in a lower gear as 8th is too tall from a full stop. Then I thought, why change gears at all? Now unless I'm pointed up a hill, I leave it in 8th, and upon starting I...

LOL. True! In the Trek XM 700+ review Court does alternatively recommend the BodyFloat killing my suspicions the Buster is a site sponsor. But this is only good-natured ribbing. Court you do a spectacular job and service; and bring order and understanding to an emerging universe of products...
