I like the look of the bike. It looks really high-end, too! I'm wondering how Thömus plans to really differentiate this bike from its formidable competition, though. Why would someone buy this bike instead of a Haibike, a Rotwild, a Cube, or a Specialized Turbo Levo?

That's awesome news! We need more ebikes with 600Wh+ batteries! It appears they still have some typos on their website that they need to fix. For instance, I found that in some places, they quoted battery capacity in watts instead of watt-hours, and on one sliding graphic, they said they were...

Now THAT is a beautiful and practical commuter! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. Do you know what the MSRP on this is going to be?

You made a great choice on that bike, as well as the bike shop that you chose to buy from! I was actually just over at The New Wheel in Larkspur on Friday and stopped in briefly to say hello to Brett. I went the The New Wheel's grand opening event and had a blast riding their demo bikes. The...

If you ever make it up to San Francisco, let's go for a ride! Also, my living room makes a perfect crash pad.

Have you considered the Haibike SDUROs? You could get a class-1, full suspension SDURO for $3,000 or less, if I'm not mistaken. That would give you the suspension you want as well as good range. I own a 2015 IZIP E3 Dash, and though it's different than the Peak because it has a high-speed-wound...

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Hopefully the manufacturer will do right by you and you'll be able to get a warranty replacement. I'm a big fan of Rad Power because they offer such powerful bikes at such a reasonable/low cost, however, from what I've heard from owners, there seem to be a lot...

Isn't E5 the error code for when you're pedaling during the torque sensor's initialization process? If so, all you'd need to do is hop off the bike, turn the bike off, then on again, and wait for the screen to finish its countdown before hopping on again. I've seen the E5 error on an IZIP E3...

The Super Commuter 8+ will top out at 28MPH in the US. The European version will use the CX motor, so I think it'll be limited to 20MPH, but in Europe, the 9+ is available for a few hundred more euros, and it goes 45km/h.

Just buy a 26" SR Suntour Epixon front suspension fork. It's ~$200. Installation labor shouldn't be any more than $50. Stromer sells a version of it for ~$800, and I believe the only benefit is that it comes with a matching front mudguard/fender.

I ride with pepper spray mounted on my left wrist. San Francisco is a really dangerous place. Crazy drugged-out homeless people abound. My girlfriend was riding her e-bike on a bike lane that goes under a freeway here in SF when a pitbull from a homeless encampment charged at her. Luckily, the...

Yeah, the Turbo X sounds like a good fit for you. From my understanding, most of the Turbo models are reticent to provide assist up to 28MPH, but do offer assist to ~25MPH. When I bought my first ebike last spring, I was in the same boat as you (I was commuting on a road bike at around 17MPH...

Keep in mind that throttles are illegal in NYC. Also, both of these bikes are really low-end. They might work out just fine for you, however, if you end up using them more often or for longer trips, you might regret going low-end. One option that I suggest is calling Crazy Lenny's Ebikes and...

The PAS isn't as good as a torque-sensing unit, however, it's not that bad, either. When it was first described to me, the Bafang cadence-sensing PAS sounded terrible to me because it provides more power at lower cadences and less power at higher cadences, however, this actually makes a lot of...

BMZ, which builds battery packs for ebikes, electric vehicles, and home solar arrays, says that building a battery pack with the slightly larger 21700 cells instead of the current 18650 cells will result in ebike batteries that last 12 years instead of the current ~3 years. They say that the...

Every ST2S I've ridden offers assist to 30.0MPH and no further.
