Sweet! I thought I recognized the cloudy weather and fauna in your pictures... the townhome-like setting ;) I'm down in Coquitlam but also spend time in Vancouver. Nice to have you here @peejaygee68, and great choice of bike! Perhaps you chose it strategically for the fat tires, hearing that it...

@Antbrewer, thanks for the great tips. Do you know the make/model of the fenders you've used? Did they come with your bike or were they also aftermarket like @Evansilver is talking about with his Planet Bike option? If you have a link or some pictures, that would be useful. I'm up in Canada...

Hey guys! I did some research and reread some of my past Specialized electric bike reviews. The "always on" lights frustrated me a lot too... NO, you cannot turn off the lights for the SL models. I think this has to do with European regulations that require a certain brightness and quality of...

Hey guys... I saw the question from @rbermanaz and it reminded me of some ebikes I've tried that seem to zip from standstill, even in lower levels of assist. It seems like this is a refinement that other companies have made to their (mostly) cadence sensor ebikes, and it's nice to see...

Hi @Taylor57, that's an interesting question. It seems like restaurants here in Vancouver, BC Canada have put up plastic shields between booths to allow people to eat inside. Since it's rainy here and pretty cold this time of year, most people don't want to eat outside. A couple of months ago...

Thanks @Gbart, I'm starting to narrow down a bit. Many of the models are sold out but it looks like these might be available: Giant Fastroad E+ EX Pro https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ca/bikes-fastroad-eplus-ex-pro-2021 Giant Roam E+ https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ca/bikes-roam-eplus-2021 I'd...

Hi guys! I haven't covered a Giant or Liv ebike in quite some time, the corporate people have been very difficult to reach and work with, and the shops I've tried to collaborate with in Vancouver Canada have been a lot less supportive than my buddy Mike Franze at Fullerton Bicycles in...

I've really enjoyed reading all of the comments and examples here. Ebike performance can be very subjective due to rider weight, terrain, weather, tire pressure... so one person's struggle might have been solved or less relevant to another. Please keep in mind that I'm a 135lb (61kg) 5'9"...

Hey @hughresearch, welcome to the forums! Shop class was one of my favorites, it sounds like you were a good fit for that job considering your limited amounts of fear!! Where did you get the upgrade parts for your RadRover? I agree that the stock forks (especially older ones) were kind of...

Wow @McSchotte 88, those are beautiful pictures! Your bike looks great, so happy to hear that you're enjoying it! Welcome to the forums, hope your knee feels better soon... but at least you can have fun online until then ;) I traveled to Germany once and we visited the Rhine river to see a...

Interesting... I saw it for $2k at Crazy Lenny's but the design is nice and they're using a Bafang mid-drive. I haven't seen or test ridden one in person before. If you can get that for $1k (depending on the drive modes you want) that seems like a good deal. You're correct that there aren't many...

Hi @Azyogi are you a yogi who lives in Arizona! If so, awesome ;) sounds like a great plan with your RV. My parents bought a high-step and step-thru RadRover to put on the back of their RV, but they can be heavy to lift, block your lights, get in the way of the exhaust, or even scrape the ground...

Hey @Bluethunder73! I moved your post to the "Help Choosing" section so maybe you'll get some feedback. I've ridden models from both companies and definitely lean towards bikes with local shop + support. It sounds like the parts on the E-Lux are a bit downgraded (like the plastic chain guide)...

Hey @Reece123, hopefully someone else will chime in. I hadn't heard of Volition ebikes until your post and I haven't been to Sydney Australia before... but they look pretty awesome! Lots of variety there. If you end up with one, please let us know :D

@harryS, you're awesome! Thanks for the technical replies here... I learned a lot too :D

Interesting... I'm glad you were alright @hughresearch! I've heard of ebike battery fires, and I personally have been shocked by some electronics before (never ebikes specifically). Sounds like you found a solution and are off to ride some more! Good stuff :D

Hey @KidSess, welcome to the forums and ebikes! I grew up with a simple one speed Huffy and eventually got a hardtail mountain bike. Ebikes were pretty complex when I discovered them, but I've gained some knowledge now and will try to answer your questions: Extreme cold could have two...

That's an excellent answer @theemartymac!

Sounds like a fun project! I don't have any experience tuning Yamaha, but have noticed that many new Bosch ebikes moved the sensor and magnet closer to the rear dropout (mounting the magnet in the disc brake rotor) which seems like it would limit some of the older designs. I wonder if Yamaha is...

Wow, that's a lot of choices! Pretty awesome setup @pushkar! I hope you don't make it so complicated that you can't make money. I'm very excited to check out your bike eventually :D
