    Meet the Magnum Peak....I mean Amego Elevate

    I've met Virginia a couple of times. She's definitely got game and is a delightful person and great businesswoman. I totally disagree with your assessment that owners have to be wrenches. Her shop has been around for years which is a testament to her business acumen. She's establishing a dealer...

    NYC amending existing rule to allow pedal-assist bikes

    After years of conflicting statements from multiple NYC ‘authorities’, this is a surprising and most welcome press release. It’s just so ironic to have NYC lead something progressive when so many NYS bills in Albany are written to carve out an exception for NYC.

    Trail tracker , Rad , or Teo fat bike

    If you can wait a month or two, I'd investigate the HYPE from Juiced Bikes. It should start shipping soon. Torque sensing on 1000 Watt motor will be impressive.

    CrossCurrent S - New Model

    Fair enough. It just seems like Medium black was not produced in the first batch. Perhaps a minimum batch quantity issue, I'm guessing 25 as a minimum batch. If yours was the only one ordered, it does seem reasonable that they would not make it as a one off. But you should have been informed...

    Over50's Charger Chronicles

    Enjoyed your thread. And agree that Chris at Propel is a great guy. In the earlier posts, you were looking for side lighting. Have you heard of Nori Lights?

    CrossCurrent S - New Model

    @Rooster and @ebikeHIgh. I can understand your frustrations but I'd cut Tora some slack. I've done business in China for over 15 years in industrial manufacturing applications. It's not easy to design/pilot/prototype/ramp up and commercially produce. All in a short time p period with iterations...

    I've just turned 500 miles on my RR and started having issues with the pedal sensor. I still have throttle but the assist cut in and out, then just stopped altogether. Did you have similar symptoms with yours prior to replacement? I noticed from New, that the display would periodically shut down...

    5K budget, something fast, stealthy, commuter but can still go offroad?

    That does change things. I've seen a few threads from Aussies looking for local OEM support. Given you geographic challenge, you'll want reliability. Most bike shops can support the basics, but I'd opt to buy an ebike brand that's well proven over years. It's the motors and controller combo...

    Hands getting numb

    Rather than a lot of trial and error, this is something easily solved by a good bike shop. Specifically those that have invested in bike fitting technology. Handle bar design, extension, risers, stem angles make a difference. But so does seat height, seat position, and seat angle. A properly...

    5K budget, something fast, stealthy, commuter but can still go offroad?

    I have a Pedego Ridge Rider and upgrading it with a Body Float and new saddle. This is an amazing bike for versatility, the torque sensor is very smooth engaging, and 20 gears of mountain biking provides lots of options. I love the throttle override for pushing off at intersections and a quick...

    Hieko Müller is coming to Brooklyn

    Hi Chris Re your agenda, is it possible to invite Senator Dilan, or some NYC Police reps? This would help reinforce the ebike legislation initiatives (S2888 and A1018) as you know. Having a German company with high quality ebikes helps to separate where the industry is going vs cheap Chinese...

    Can I even use a ebike in NY state?

    Hi @dc9mm. Good advice from everyone and don't hold your breath on NYS resolving this soon. In fact I am meeting with my local politicians on this issue. I've never lobbied before, but if NYC can get Uber and prevent availability in upstate cites, then perhaps for ebikes we allow them and they...

    Help me design an e-bike for urban commuting

    Hi William, I have warm memories of Lund having worked on a project with Tetrapak for two years. Fun times and great people there. But I never drove an EPA tractor . Here are some thoughts for your project. 1) Multiple.locking mechanisms. Thieves can defeat any lock, but two or more requires...

    Best Rear Rack for Trail Tracker!

    For frame mount try looking at the Axiom Journey Uni-Fit MK3. They have some patented brackets that may work on the TT Their customer support recommended them for a Ridge Runner that I plan to get this spring. Not sure how universal but I like their load capacity.

    Fenders for my Ridgerider

    Enjoyed the upgrade reviews from yourself and Wever. I'm debating a Ridge rider for my 6'2" and 230 lbs. What fender decision did you make? Would SKS 28 inch Beavertail set work? Does the frame have any mounting busses? If not I found an Axiom through axle mount support. How about Pedego...
