    Mechanic Needed S.F. Bay Area

    Hi all, Several years ago, my wife and I bought two ebikes from Motostrano, here in the Bay Area. Sadly, the store closed. Maybe it was that the regular bike shops that once shunned us finally started carrying Ebikes, plus the flood of cheap imports that did it. Now it seems that we have to deal...

    Evo Cross Display panel/power failure

    Hi J.R. Tested a new console/display. It doesn’t seem to be the problem. The bike is kinda pulsing which leads me to think it might Be the sensor. My mechanic is going to check it out next week. I know parts are hard to find so I think I’ll order a new sensor just in case. Hopefully I can return...

    Evo Cross Display panel/power failure

    My wife’s bike keeps cutting out, sometimes at the worse possible times ie. Hill climbing. It happens around 3 times per 10 miles. We thought it was a bad contact so our mechanics screwed the panel on permanently to its housing but it’s still happening. She reported an error 5 or S on the...

    Re -introduction

    Hello ebike community. A couple of years ago I first got curious about ebikes. My wife and I went to Lake Tahoe and rented a couple of Pedegos. We both immediately fell in love with the ebikes and stretched them to their limits. From Stateline, going up to the top of Fallen Leaf Lake and...

    Evo 29er

    Seems like the last review of the new line to come in. I'm pretty sure it will either be the 9er or the Cross for me. Anyone got anything?

    Demo Problem

    Hi Joe, Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed reply. Not wanting to get any of your staff in trouble - they were all perfectly polite but none of this was explained to me at the time. I guess I must have come off as a "tire kicker" or curious newbie. I'm now quite a bit more experienced on the...

    Easy Motion Evo Cross/29er Question

    Thanks Chandlee, It looks like the 29er may be a none starter due to size. 19" frame is as big as they go. The Cross has a 21" option. Your suggestions for tires were a huge help and may be the solution. Thank you. Not being anything of a tire expert I've been doing some researching and that's...

    Easy Motion Evo Cross/29er Question

    Hi EBR peeps. I finally got to demo the new Evo Cross last weekend. My initial impressions are that it's as good as expected. Only possible negative was that the throttle only mode seemed a little timid. My guess is that once people discover the turbo assist mode they'll hardly ever use it -...

    2015

    I keep periodically checking in hoping to see some new reviews. Is there anything out there? I'm particularly interested in the new EasyMotion bikes. Are they in the U.S.? I'm chomping at the bit to start researching a possible purchase......don't tell me. Just pick one, order one and hope it...

    Demo Problem

    So we went to S Lake Tahoe for the weekend and rented a couple of Pedegos from the very cooperative and helpful dealer at Stateline. Here's some observations if anyone's interested. I ended up with the City Commuter and my wife fell in love the Ford Cruiser and we swapped rides for a while...

    Demo Problem

    My thoughts exactly. thanks Vern. I've often wondered why there isn't a connected path around the lake itself. At least now I'll have some help getting up that monstrous Ski run Blvd to get to the trails;)

    Demo Problem

    Just to clarify. I want to try the bikes I'm interested in that are my size and price range. If Motostrano is a good representation of the whole ebike buying experience then I'm underwhelmed. I will definitely make a trip to SF New wheel though they apparently don't carry Ezip? They do carry...

    Demo Problem

    So, eager to demo a couple of suggestions, I headed to two of the bike dealers closest to me in San Jose/ Peninsula area. ELV - nice guy, tiny space, not much choice, definitely nothing my size(x large) said he could order pretty much anything I was interested in. Motostrano- nice enough fella...

    Large Frame Rides

    Thanks Shea, I went back to some older posts and it seems there is a need for a few bigger models out there.Dash looks promising but I also read some fascinating stuff regarding Dash vs Peak. What a great supportive community this is. Look forward to test riding and reporting on my choice. Rg
