Looking forward to your ride report, and please post some photos!

I'm delighted with the EBO kits, and even put one on my wife's bike which has enabled us to do a lot more riding together. Almost every Sunday we ride quite a ways down the pathways to old town and have a nice lunch together. They are rated 350 watt geared motors and assist up to about 19-20mph...

Take your time and spend time reading this forum and watching Court's and others reviews of electric bikes, you'll pick up a lot of knowledge. Don't be in a big hurry to by an ebike before you know what you really need and where you'll be using it. I also caution you about if you really need a...

Supramax, if you already have a bike you like, a kit is a great way to go. I started out with putting an Electric Bike Outfitters kit on my old Trek 830 and it is a wonderful machine. In fact, it is my "go-to" bike for riding on the street, bike paths, and errands, despite my having a couple of...

Indeed the plastic clips really help prevent my feet from sliding off. And they are pretty darn durable for the price. Last Friday I had a pretty good crash (slid into a rut at speed) and really bent up the peddle. Plastic clip was perfectly fine. I straightened up the peddle in my vice and put...

Here is a surefire way to make a fortune in the bicycle business; Start with an even larger fortune!!!

That would be very cool. PS; I checked out Sedona last Friday and it is great riding. Just got to be very cool and considerate and not piss off the serious traditional mountain bike crowd. Might be a place to consider...

I've got both hub (geared) and mid-drive bikes and both are comparably efficient. I do believe that mid-drives such as the Bosch and Brose are better suited for emtbs with their more sophisticated cadence and torque sensing, but at a higher price. Hub drives work perfectly well in the paved and...

I agree with everything pxpaulx wrote. I started emtb last year with a Haibike Xduro FullSeven RC with the Bosch CX motor, totally loved it... Until I bought a Bulls Enduro FS with the Brose motor a few weeks ago! It is totally quiet, much better range, and looks a lot more stealthy (i.e. not...

The problem with so many of these racks with the plastic knobs and fittings is that after several years the plastic parts get brittle and eventually break. The parts are either super expensive or more likely unavailable. I recently found and bought the 1up rack which is very high quality and is...

Hey Joe, This looks great, but a little far for me to come from AZ this time of year, but hopefully you'll do another one closer to summer, and maybe a little further south? PS; Really diggin the Bulls. Ruggles and I had an awesome ride today!

Very sweet! I had one of those on order with Joe @ Motostrano but changed at the last minute to a leftover Bulls Enduro FS with the Brose motor. Looking forward to your ride report!

Does it look like this?

Alternative facts in the ebike world...

Hi Pete, Good luck on your quest to find the right ebike for you, that should be fun. I recommend you visit the Pedego dealer in Avila Beach. They don't just sell Pedego, but Haibike and I'm sure others as well. They are very much enthusiast, and the young blonde haired guy I talked to was very...

I don't know any of the details, but I believe Li-ion batteries can be shipped on a plane, but just need to be packaged by a certified hazmat shipper. Maybe you can buy a battery over there from a dealer, with the agreement of them buying it back (even if half price or less - effectively renting...

If you happen to already have a bike you really like, consider installing a kit. There are quite a few out there. I have a nice 1984 old-school Trek mountain bike (actually it was called "All Terrain" before the term mountain bike caught on) that I bought new which has a beautiful chromolly...

E-Wheels; The plastic toe clips strike a good balance for me in holding my foot securely on the peddles, but not trapping me in like with clipless ones. You can use just different shoes like sneakers. I don't recall ever slipping out and bashing my shins, and I have been using them for decades...

Some of you may make fun of me, but I have these on all my bikes and really like them. Keeps my foot from slipping off, but don't hinder taking my foot off when needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QMJ9EQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
