    BMZ Battery repair

    I too have an BMZ battery from a Bulls bike that won't charge. It has been suggested to me to send it to Rechargeable Power Energy in Las Vegas, NV https://rechargeablepowerenergy.com/ But I haven't done so yet.

    BULLS E-bikes for 2018 - Massive 100+ lineup

    Yes, I really like the Canyon Spectral ON, and hope they become available in the US. Want to try the Shimano motor and that 29 front and 27.5+ rear. I'm not afraid of direct marketers as I don't mind doing my own repairs/adjustments as long as there is a good process if something major like the...

    BULLS E-bikes for 2018 - Massive 100+ lineup

    I always thought Bulls was a enigma. In Europe and North America they direct market their line of push bikes where their name is mud with dealers. However, they are trying mostly unsuccessful to establish a decent dealer network when it comes to their ebike line. Despite having a decent quality...

    Isn't it ironic

    It is ironic, and unfortunate too. I'm in a similar situation and have decided to ride responsible and courteous and ride the trails anyway. I've chosen relatively "stealth" peddle assist only emtbs. I know I am not hurting anyone else and causing damage to the trails. Since I'm retired I...

    My Wife Was On TV Talking About Ebikes

    Does News Channel 12's Nicole Griffin know she's wearing the helmet backwards?

    Excited to see the new Yamaha power assist electric bicycles coming to dealers very soon.

    The line up looks kinda "me too" to me. Not really anything to separating them from the pack much. on the emtb offering; it has the more towards the bottom of the bin Recon forks and so-so SLX brakes and rear mech, non-boost hubs - nothing to write home about. Geometry is more for the casual...

    REI vs LBS

    All very true IF the LBS does indeed stand by and can service the bikes they sell - many don't.

    And the car driver never stopped...

    $1210 in restitution does seem pretty light, but certainly the plaintiff can go after him in civil court for additional damages, which after his criminal conviction should be straight forward. But 10-months in prison for an otherwise law abiding middle-class citizen (assuming Neely doesn't have...

    Looking for bike for BBSHD

    I used a Motobecane 529HT purchased from Bikes Direct for my Tonsheng mid-drive "grocery getter" build. It works well for the purpose. However if I was using it for significant trail riding, I think a week point which would be the same for any aluminum frame is where the heavy battery pack...

    Nope, you didn't say it was Magura... Then let's 10X my estimate!

    Bike Insurance Thoughts

    Yeah, probably covered after SF's $500 or 1/2 percent of value deductible - whichever is higher. So probably better to just buy the $14 brake lever...
