My non-assisted mountain bike still gets plenty of regular use, and I have no plans to go electric for dirt riding anytime soon. But my beautiful old school touring bike just sits in teh garage unused. I don't see ever going back to anything but another e-bike for the street.

I have about 2000 miles on my Brooks B 17 and wouldn't change it for anything. I've considered getting a second for my mountain bike but just can't justify the weight penalty. But for tooling around the city I have never found anything that comes close. Plus it looks beautiful, the...

I have the Izip Moda, which is the same bike as the Raleigh Redux but with an uglier (IMO) paintjob. I use this primarily to commute 13 miles RT everyday, and just hit 1000 miles on it yesterday, with absolutely zero maintenance issues. I like this bike so much I bought a matching one for my...

Any reason you couldn't be looking for two separate bikes? As an avid mountain biker (Diamondback Release 3) and enthusiastic ebike commuter (Izip Moda) it seems like you would be making an unacceptable amount of compromise trying to do both well with one bike. I would not want to ride single...

I demoed a Turbo Levo last spring and it was hands down the most fun I have ever had on two wheels. But keep in mind that this is very much a purpose built mountain bike built to withstand serious trail riding and abuse. I have no personal experience with Haibike although I have heard wonderful...

I sure hope not. I'd like to hope this is the norm and not the exception.

I will be thrilled to death if I get 15000k without having to overhaul my motor. Coming from a mountain biking background where serious maintenance occurs on a 50-100 hour schedule, this sounds like bliss to me.

Just hit 400 trouble free miles on my Moda this morning, and hoping for many, many more. There is a thread going in the ebike forum on MTBR on a Moda with a shredded belt that the guy is trying to self repair. I'm hoping that anything belt related will be an easy fix, although the recent sale...

I am an avid mountain biker and ebike commuter. My ebike is a full rigid city bike (Izip Moda) with 2.4 tires, which serves my purposes quite well. I would not personally consider a mt bike for city riding just because you are introducing unnecessary weight and complications that are likely...

This will depend on the brand of brakes. Shimano and Tektro are mineral oil, SRAM is DOT brake fluid. However I suspect that very few ebikes use SRAM unless they are mt bikes.

I am very impressed with the Izip Moda (same as Raleigh Redux) that I picked up in May. So much so that I am picking up a second for my wife tomorrow. This is a well specd bike that has the feeling of a tool vs a toy. Comes with fenders and integrated lights. I can maintain 23-25 without...

They still exist, but were just sold and definitely in flux. I own both an IZIP (Moda) and a Diamondback and these are definitely interesting times for both companies. Hope I don't find myself with a $3000 brick if something goes wrong. Good luck...

Thank you both for your input! Chopperbill, did you have to remove the integrated rack to add the Iberia? I would rather not as I love the clean lines of the rack and fender, but I have a similar rack on my previous (pedal only) bike that could work. I honestly hadn’t checked to see if this was...

Hey all! New Moda owner and delighted with my purchase. I am using it primarily for my commute, and need to be able to carry a small load (lunch, glasses, wallet). The integrated rack seems too narrow to properly support the rack bag I purchased and I’m curious what others are using for onboard...
