Regulations, be they trail restrictions or highway traffic code, have to be enforced to have any--ANY-- effectiveness. And the only place you will find law enforcement is on state or federal parks land (wildlife officers) etc. If there are enforcement officers on city or county government...

Sweet Geebus! My head is spinning. Think I'll go buy the Scott E Sub Tour that is on sale (~2700) and start riding the danged thing. I'll adapt. Bosch oughta be good enough for who it's for! :eek:

Well I found that another local shop stocks some E bikes. The Scott E sub Tour. One of the Peleton shops has them on sale. It is a Bosch system bike and has a number of accessories as most of the city and tour bikes do, such as built in lights, a rear rack, fenders, stuff I'd probably add. They...

I don't remember there being this much (potential) controversy when they started putting motors in to roll down your windows. Or to brush your teeth! o_O Seems the growth in the industry is going in the direction of the mountain bike. Manufacturers will start sponsoring contests, signing on...

@pxpaulx yes! You are the one that has gotten me thinking about the Yamaha system, just gotta get to Denver to try one. (I really hate that drive!) Bikesource in Big D has several bikes I'd like to check out and I most want to try this Haibike! OK, back to @Madbadger question!

BTW suspension seat posts are great. My current non e bike has the Suntour version, works well, think it is probably the least expensive option. But that would be one of my first add ons!

What kind of riding do you do? I'm considering the same bike after years being off bike, and want to find a little joy riding again without kidding myself that I'm 30 again (or 40 or 50 even!). I need the help but need the exercise, too. Yamaha system has some appeal there and I like the "zero...

Hmmm. Interesting and helpful info. Glad I checked here before buying an Easy Motion Evo Cross that seemed to have charging issues when I went for a demo. I'm a complete noob to this world and $3 large is a lot of money to dump into an e bike that has QC issues with its battery systems. That...

Here is another article I found relevant, especially to me as a Coloradan. But good information, which struck me as surprising. Then again, not surprising in this day and age when everybody has to fight over everything it seems...

Research, research, research! I'm at the point where I am telling the bike shop guy what the thing does. ;-) Of course, he admitted he was not the e bike guy so my rides yesterday allowed me to eliminate the Trek. I was surprised to find their bike just did not seem up to their usual...

I, too, have been considering an e bike as a way to get back to bicycling and as a method of exercise. At 67, with a couple of distinguishing health issues, I need the help. And, I need to have some fun. Testing out these bikes brought back a smile to my face. Years ago, I had stopped downhill...

Ha! I came this [] close to buying a DRZ400! They did not have one in stock so I moved on. Really lusted after that bike though. Riding season was upon me and I live anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 from great riding, asphalt curves and great dirt. Colorado was made for motorcycles, IMHO. But I'm...

Good to hear from you motorheads! That EM Evo is a sweet looking bike, JR. And the good I've read about the Bosch gets validation yet again. Thanks MLB. You make a good point. I'm not looking for a mini motorcycle (have that covered with my HondaCRF250L). And pointing out the way the rider can...

Thanks JR. I have watched many, many of his excellent vids, so many, in fact, that my head is spinning. Hence my question. I do think I'd like a combo system with a throttle but the Bosch system seems to have dialed in their legendary engineering into their sensing and pedal assist. I'm...

I'm trying to narrow things down a bit. Which bikes have Bosch, pedelec AND throttle option, in a city or cross or touring style? Been riding motorcycles a long time but need the exercise. But I'd love to have the option to "throttle on" when I need it. TIA.
