    NYT E-bike article

    A nice read. What he feels and likes about owning an e-bike is my sentiment exactly but unfortunately, we have made little progress in the past decades in convincing our respective governments that cycling should not only be tolerated but positively encouraged. To prove my point, below is a...

    Nyon Retrofit

    Hi Alaskan. Thank you for your reply and continued support regarding this issue. As per your advice, I contacted my dealer asking whether a retrofit was possible. Now, before getting to his reply, let me answer the question you've asked, namely, whether I plan to replace the stem. Yes, is the...

    Rear Sprocket

    Hi. I recently replaced the rear sprocket on my Bulls Sturmvogel E Evo 2016 model (https://electricbikereview.com/bulls/sturmvogel-e-evo/) which is equipped with a Shimano Nexus 8 speed Internal Gear Hub. In doing so, I may have replaced it with one with different number of tooth resulting in a...

    I wasn't being rude. Far from it. I was just wondering about the reason(s) behind the question. I am still no wiser now than when I initially asked the question.

    Bonjour, From Sooke, BC!

    Sorry to hear that. May I suggest that you create a new Thread entitled "Raleigh Sprite" to make it easily for those who might be thinking of purchasing a similar ebike to read your comments?

    Rohloff E-14, Gear Freewheeling

    Apologies, I misunderstood the term "stem". Here in Europe, we sometimes misguidedly refer to a handlebar as "stem". What I meant to say was that shortly after purchasing the bike, I changed the handlebar (too wide for my liking) but not the stem.

    Rohloff E-14, Gear Freewheeling

    I found the stem which came with the bike, open chest style, very uncomfortae so I replaced it within the first few days of purchasing the bike.

    I have Kiox on mine. Are you saying that I can retrofit Nyon display?

    Rohloff E-14, Gear Freewheeling

    No, because you never know what gear you're in unless you happen to be on the 3rd screen of Kiox (the most useful screen) and are changing gear in which case you have only 3 seconds to see the gear you're riding in. Having 14 gears at your disposal is absolutely great but not being able to...

    Ground Clearance

    No technical trails but when you forget to stop pedaling around a sharp corner and not maintaining a 12 and 6 o'clock positions. If you change the crank arms, you would also need to update the software accordingly involving a trip to your nearest dealer which in my case is 250 miles away. Also...

    Ground Clearance

    Love my Supercharger GX especially the Bosch Performance CX motor, its twin batteries and the looks but don't care much for its lack of ground clearance.

    Touring cross country with an ebike - Video

    Did a bit of cycling on the main highways in FL last year and quickly learned of a danger that we here in Europe don't encounter. One of the dangers of cycling in the USA is the enormously massive side sometimes extended side mirrors on (pickup) trucks. This can be very dangerous even if you...

    How do you like your Bulls?

    I have owned a Bulls ebike for almost three years. I have done just over 13,000 during these three years. During this period I have had three motors and almost everything on it has had to be replaced. No bike is perfect but get my goat with this make is utter abismal support you receive the...

    Touring cross country with an ebike - Video

    Sorry, I meant to say 3 months on the road. I wouldn't want to do more than 1,000 miles a month.

    Touring cross country with an ebike - Video

    If like me you cannot do camping, two months on the road with an average hotel bill of say $100 and other daily expenses of say $50, the trip is going to cost $9,000+. Also, 3 months of no income and you soon realize, this ain't a cheap adventure.

    Touring cross country with an ebike - Video

    Interesting, and clearly a very determined lady. I'd love to do the same but the possibility of coming across wild animals on my travels scares the you know what out of me, so not for me.
