Have a big order with them from June but haven't had any communication, not hearing back from my query email... Wondering if any of you are hearing from Grin or if I should be worried.

Then here is an opportunity for someone like Bafang to make a version of their mid-drive designed to fit a Bosch housing, or an adaptor for that. They could make them for Brose, Shimano, &Yamaha housings too, but should start with whichever has been selling long enough to have the most bikes out...

+1 Has anyone replaced a Bosch motor by buying one in the aftermarket somehow? The only Bosch motor replacements I've heard of have been warrantee replacements done by an official Bosch service place. I have not heard of Bosch selling motors separately for upgrade or for home repair. When I...

Read more carefully. The linked article was unavailable without an NYT subscription, didn't open on my computers, so I took a guess about the methodology.

Weather, huh. It's an issue, but it's interesting when non-cyclist ratings (I'm guessing this list was made by non-cyclists[?]) because sometimes I learn what people feel are obstacles to cycling. Three cities where cycling is highly popular, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis/St.Paul, all have...

thanks--doesn't show on my desktop screen but if I open this EBR page on my phone I'm able to zoom it enough. Interesting list. Guessing their criteria from the list but I'd guess they're weighting not just a city's positive cycle qualities but their miserableness of care use there. In other...

Metal toeclips are still available in fine chromed spring steel as well as leather toe straps. They work well and allow fast unclipping (getting your feet out) if you set them up for that. There are still a few sources for slot cleats too, some that can be attached to contemporary cleated cycle...

At least you gave him a chance to be more reasonable. These kinds of situations are not fun.

yes! but I value the point of view of the original post video. You shouldn't have to be "a cyclist" just to use a bicycle as transport effectively. I've ridden a lot in The Netherlands (mostly Leiden) and felt very at home among so many riders even though it was obvious you didn't need to be a...

for those of us without the NYT subscription, let us know what the best and worst cities are. thanks

I love a good zombie thread. Regular cycling had already long replaced my commute car trips. New to e-bikes, I got one in late March this year after maybe a hundred workdays in a row of cycle commuting; it had been several months since I'd had to use the car due to perhaps a required distant...

visit Alee Denham's review site cyclingabout.com https://www.cyclingabout.com/best-touring-bikes-2020/ no e-bike content that I recall but he does extensive reviews on touring equipment as well as bikes, with an emphasis on heavy touring.

The point is that you don't have to choose 23.5mph if indeed that's what the earlier poster did. You can choose any speed above that as the cut-off for assistance.

The Speedbox 3.0 has a procedure for re-setting a new speed limit for when you want assist to cut out. Perhaps Tricky chose 23.5mph.

by the way, great bike, and great taste in rear-view mirrors and bells--I have the Spurcycle bell on my bikes too.

I'm going to assume you have a model of Creo whose Future Shock fork steerer is aluminum(?). If your bike has a carbon fibre steerer then the solutions would be different. Glancing at the Creo models on the Specialized website, it looks like they all have a standard removable faceplate stem for...

Great to hear your preference for the non-e bike. As a long-time cyclist one of my worries about getting an e-bike was that it would make me drop my interest in non-assisted riding and I'd lose interest in my regular bikes. Your story is encouraging--you finding you still like non-assisted...

Most of your replies are from people happy with flat bars / upright bars and that's great, and is most common handlebar type world-wide as Jodi points out. I'll comment as some one who is most comfortable on dropbars for even short rides. I really like the way the hoods position puts my hand in...

There are "bike rack adapter bars" that might be useful inside the van--perhaps one of these clamped in that van-wall-mounted repair stand clamp. These are designed as a substitute top-tube to allow those odd size bike tubes or odd bike shapes to work with regular bike racks, but they may be...

Thanks for the responses. @jabberwoky: My own allegiance is with bicycles generally, I tend to see e-bikes as a subset of bicycles, and I agree with you that in most cases there is no need to treat them differently. I generally agree with your belief "overall ebikes will get widespread access...
