Man... I was just reading your bio signature there @Browneye and you have some nice bikes!! I really want to cover some of the new Giant models but it has been difficult to coordinate due to limited hours and communications. How do you like the Trance E+2 Pro?

If you're planning to use the bike for daily riding and are able to spend a bit more, I'd probably get the Gazelle from a local dealer. It will be the most efficient, feel the most natural, blend in, be the most reliable, and you'll have an easier time getting help with fixes. NYC has rain, snow...

Hi guys! I just finished the Remi Demi review and am hoping to check out some of the other bikes and accessories they've been designing. It was extra fun, because I heard about this bike many months back (before it launched) and I've seen this category of utility ebikes and minibikes really take...

Hi guys, as a part of the Bosch Ebike Systems 10 Year Anniversary, the company created a contest inviting bicycle manufacturers to use their systems to create themed electric bikes. I thought it was pretty cool to see the results, and the best part is that the three winning models will actually...

If I'm on the other line, it won't ring since I'm roaming international right now. Can you text me or try again? I should get the text. Thanks for reaching out @James Bond :)

Hey @Roadking1, @Art Deco is correct! I'm often traveling, filming, editing, programming and don't reply here as much as I'd like. However, I recently covered the Cannoondale Treadwell Neo and Vado SL in depth, so I hope this helps as you consider lightweight products. Here's a category on the...

Hey @TomD, I'd love to check out your Frey CC and hang out for a day or two! Yeah, not sure on border timing, let's stay in touch... My number is 650.930.0342 and you can text me to say hi. @BigNerd, I asked Biktrix about their Swift Lite and they said they didn't want a review because they are...

Hmm, if it's just four digits, you might be able to guess your way in... I haven't seen ebike systems that lock users out. Often times 1111, 1234, 1818 types of things will work. If you start with 1 and then cycle the remaining three digits... then start with 2 and cycle the remaining three...

Hey @James Bond, yeah! Where are you located? If in Vancouver/BC area, you can text me at 650.930.0342. Thanks!!

Welcome! Great questions. Yes, if the review date is old... like 2015 or 2016, that mean I have not covered a more recent model. There are so many brands now, and I have struggled to onboard reviewers, that a lot of the fringe brands and bikes just aren't up to date. I keep older reviews online...

Hey @RichM, I just published the BULLS ICONIC EVO TR 1 Speed, which gets the same Bosch software update to move from 75Nm of torque to 85Nm. I like this particular model because it has a unique suspension seat post + dropper. It has nicer rear suspension than many of the other city models, like...

Definitely, will do! A few of the spots that used to help me with this (Sam at Electric Bicycle Center) have sold. The mix could be a little different, but I’ll be covering the RadMission this week and that’s a $1k ebike! Are there others that you’re curious about? I hope to start a voting...

Thanks @tomdav, that’s a good idea. We experimented with Skimlinks a while back, but it didn’t generate much money and seemed to add code that slowed down the site. I like when other people can earn money too, and be excited about sharing. To me, it’s alright if they use affiliate links, it’s...

Hi Susan! Perhaps the momentum of the rear rack and battery are exaggerating trail input like the bumps. You described it as up and to the sides. That fits the weight distribution of the high mounted battery pack that moves further to each side than a mid mounted battery. It would also carry...

Great hypothesis! I’ve been shut in a bit due to COVID (locked in Canada), shipping internationally is slow and companies are selling out on inventory, shops are super busy and I don’t want to get in the way, I’m focusing on some new guides and site structure, I was exploring the real estate...
