Hey @Padrepedro, I have a hitch mounted platform rack on my Prius and it does not have a ramp. My back and knees are sensitive, so instead of lifting the bike to get on and off, I use the right brake (to lock the rear wheel) to pop a wheelie and set the front tire on the rack, then I only have...

Hi @Mass Deduction I always say EEEEE (like pronouncing the letter e) and KOW (not like cow, o sound like oh my gosh!). Hope this helps :D

Hi @Jim mcaloney, I don't have access to an Element battery, but if you still have the case from your used one I think FTH Power in Southern California might be able to repack it with new (possibly even higher capacity) cells for you. I visited them and did a video a while back, here's their...

Hi guys, this isn't a direct cycling accessory... but it is something I've enjoyed while riding my bike. These are Bluetooth wireless sunglasses, with swappable lenses, that leave your ears open to hear surroundings but connect with your smartphone to take calls, listen to music, or listen to...

You're right, it's probably not a big issue for most people. I mention it because I see room for improvement and I'm an emotional communicator, I can see how the current design could cause some people to struggle. I was in a hurry unlocking the pack (with two hands) and the battery tumbled out...

Hi guys! I wanted to create an updated review of the Fazua Evation mid-drive system since I got to spend some time with the new Trek E-Caliber recently. Fazua launched a software update for their ebike mid-drive system recently called Black Pepper which improves motor power output and maximum...

Hi guys! Trek sent me one of their newest models, the E-Caliber, and I studied the differences between it and the non-electric Supercaliber. It's a cool racing inspired cross country electric mountain bike with the Fazua Evation drive system with the Remote bX and their newest Battery 250X. I'm...

Hi guys, Pivot PR sent me this release earlier tonight and I'm posting here to share. Looks like a cool ebike! I've covered the super compact, lightweight Fazua motors on some of BULLS electric bikes like the Alpine Hawk EVO... and I preferred the Specialized SL motors, as seen on the directly...

Nice! I've heard a lot about the Sur Ron, that thing looks awesome and I love your profile photo @Twist... looks like you were out having some FUN with some dirt on your face! A long time ago, I was able to test ride a ZERO and some of the Stealth electric bikes (which are more like motorcycles...

I had hear about the Specialized bike price increase too recently, and yeah, their bikes were already pretty pricey! Must stay though, I love the SL models... perfect for that step between an acoustic bike and the super powerful ebikes. I love that they continue innovating, and I can see why...

I've always liked the thicker flat top magnesium MG-1 pedals that Wellgo makes. They are not concave, but you also do not feel the center piece bulging up. Wellgo sells another pedal called the MG-5 that is light and wide etc. but I dislike them because I feel the center part through my shoe...

@Dallant, I've used those crossbar adapters to haul ebikes before and never had an issue... I am extra careful about tightening the seat clamp, but if you look at the angle of the seat tube and how the crossbar adapter pulls on it, there is lateral force that creates friction and a wedge if the...

I saw some articles about Miami inviting tech people who are interested in bitcoin and Elon Musk, who wanted to do a Hyperloop tunnel there. It's cool that each state can have its own personality and evolve over time. I always saw Florida as this interesting mix of relaxed retirement + Disney...

Hi @Places, I think @smorgasbord and @harryS really covered this well, but I wanted to ask if you have considered transporting the bike in your trunk? I would often remove my wheels (which had quick release) and stuff the frame into the trunk of my car in order to go mountain biking. I've had...

Hi @mholling, I'm not a lady and I have not owned a trapeze (mid-step as I call them on the site), but I have tested many many different models from CUBE including some "wave" step-thru and "trapeze" mid-steps. I figured I'd share my own experience briefly, in case it adds to the conversation...

I don't know the name of any manufacturers in Asia, but it seems like some companies have moved to Vietnam and Taiwan after the China sanctions from 2019/2020. Perhaps someone else will chime in, but this is also something that companies seem keep secret as a competitive advantage.

Thanks @e-boy, I've seen a BMW ebike in years past that was just a Bosch motor attached to a frame that felt kind of generic. I like how Lamborghini is offering something unique here... but I don't expect to see many out on the street. Ford has done several ebikes over the years, and I was...

I'm from Colorado USA, but I moved to San Francisco California, Austin Texas, Bermuda, Mexico, New York City, and then ended up in Vancouver Canada (where I'm at now). I've never been to Belfast! That's in Northern Ireland UK? My Aunt is adopted, and she's part Irish :) maybe I can come visit...

Hmm, that's a bummer! I'm sorry @rod's Engwen, I am not super familiar with this bike, nor do I have a display like yours on hand to mess with. Maybe someone else will chime in to help, or you can contact the company and get a replacement display or controller? It almost sounds like the buttons...

Wow, what a great story @Nesdon. It sounds like you got the VW settlement thing like my friend @Chris Nolte. Great choice on the Leaf! I see them around, and love the new design for 2020 or 2021, and they seem like some of the best value electric cars. Glad it has worked so well, and thanks for...
