Hi Eddie, I noticed that your first doarama link was not a "view" yet. You'll need to click the "create view" button on top right corner. Then you'll have a new view in archive to share.

Wow.. beautiful. The majestic Alps in 3D! Thank you for sharing. (Just a hint; doarama views are interactive too)

Hi Eddie, Can you upload your Swiss rides(.gpx files) to doarama.com and share the views with us? It should look something like this: doarama.com/view/901156 . -Phuong

Hi Court, Please check "Seth's" opinion on ebikes in this video: . These are typical arguments of a well reasoned MTB elitist: 1. Ban them all because parks don't have resources to check various ebikes compliance 2. Jailbroken, i.e. "dongled" ebikes 3. Ebikes only getting cheaper and more...

I want to share a problem I've been having with intermittent power cut-offs and hopefully it might help some people... Recently my Allroad intermittently loses power while riding. At first I thought the battery might need replacement. But I noticed that the power usually cut out when I went...

The city of San Jose is planning this as part of the "three creeks trail" to connect the existing trails... www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/58152

That's great, as I'm more of a recreational rider. The trails in that area are pretty isolated so having a riding partner is safer in my view. Especially when the rangers post mtn lion sightings.

If you need a riding partner, let me know. I ride the Almaden Quicksilver trails and have been looking at crossing over Hicks road to Mt.Umunum as a goal to do one day too. -Phuong

With the Allroad back in shape, here's a clip of it riding at Laguna Seca; this year's stage 4 finish of the Tour of California: .

At 3006 miles, I had to send the motor in for Jim to check. It had started to make intermittent "clicking" sounds under power. Also, the bottom bracket axle seemed loose and had ~1mm play. Received the motor back from Jim within 1 week. Optibike replaced the "output assembly". Now the motor is...

Just wanted to share a ride from Mt. View to 49ers' Levi's Stadium: . I am using my wife's City, since the Allroad is on the shelf right now. I had to send the motor back to get checked out.

@Jack Tyler, If you're interested in the demo Allroad below, it may still be available... ------ (I'm on their mailing list, so get these emails once in a while) Dear Phuong, Today, we have a demo 2015 Pioneer Allroad . The bike is in excellent condition with 398 miles. This bike was used...

I had ordered the 2013 version of the Allroad. I interacted with Neal and the reason he gave for my delay (4 mth), was that the batch/crate that contained my order had more "defects" than expected and I could get the 2014 version if I waited for the next crate. So I waited.

Hi Greg, Yes, the Allroad has PAS as well as throttle. If you plan to ride trails, then I think having a throttle is essential. It will get you out of a jam when you get caught in the wrong gear on a steep grade and have to step off the bike: 1) you can use the throttle with the kickstand down...

My wife's City arrived on Dec.29th; so approximately a month delay. (Improved from 4 months for my Allroad) I found time to assemble it Thursday, but my wife is miserable with a cold and couldn't try it..but I did. Very comfortable ride and simple to use; no derailleur with Nuvinci hub. The...

Hi @Optibike_Austen, I have an Optibike City on order for my wife with delivery set for November(last month). Do you have any status on that? Please let me know. Thanks, -Phuong

Quick Google search yielded: http://www.google.com/patents/US6629574 . Filed 2001, published/granted 2003.. seems like the last maintenance payment lapsed, but it can be revived within 2 yrs if lapse was unintentional. Seems to me other MBB designs,i.e. Bosch, Shimano, tried to get around one...

The weather here in northern California kept me from riding the trails this weekend. Which allowed me to do a winter tune-up on the Allroad and upload this review. I will give a personal perspective of owning the Optibike Allroad over the past 2 yrs and detail upgrades and accessories that I...

Why feel bad for Optibike? Maybe they just got exclusive distributorship of the bikes in the US. What's wrong with OEM'ing a bike and supporting it well afterwards?
