@YYZ2017, very sorry to hear about the stolen bike. If you have the serial numbers from the bike & battery put together an email with a modest sized image and contact as many local shops as you can. Give them specs on the battery & charger too, we have snagged one thief when he tried to buy a...

Totally agree with Ravi on this; Trek actually had a couple of models that used the BionX motor systems. By this point the battery will need to be rebuilt; however, re-programming it may be an issue. None of us are sure exactly when the BionX main computers will be shut down which could impact...

@Reid, Currie Tech only made that Cruiser model with the springer forks for one season. They were a hit although the forks were kinda so-so but the styling was very popular. That bike was in the days of the brushed side mounted motor and one heavy lead acid battery pack. Think you were pushing...

@charlie g, the whole ebike tariffs have not been resolved; however, there may be some relative to the battery. The whole ebike tariffs are under open discussion until July 23rd and sometime after that a decision will be made which could effect late August or Sept. shipments if the whole ebikes...

@Timpo, haven't tried EBC pads for bikes; however, our shop has had good success with EBC pads for electric motorcycles.

This is all from this year's EuroBike show, so 2018-2019 models probably won't be available until later in the year, particularly here in the US where most European bikes are slower to arrive. Have you checked out Riese & Muller's website for the 4 versions of the Load that are in production...

@Louky, I agree. Unless you are doing a lot of technical off-road riding; you don't really need a bunch of gears up front. The motor power more than compensates for that and with 8 to 10 gears in the rear you'll have plenty of gear options for speedy flats and hill climbing.

@Hebb Biker, is your current battery the original? If so, consider getting it rebuilt by EbikeMarketPlace (a part of RPE) or do a search on our site; Court and a couple of other people have recommendations for independent electronics specialists who rebuild lithium batteries. If you want to get...

What a striking color on your bike Dfstarman! Like the integrated rear rack, very clear appearance overall.

@Diarmuid, I'll bet that the SmartMotion team (which is not huge) is all at Eurobike right now. Try a follow-up the middle of next week since the show runs through this weekend.

@CodyDog, a couple of my customers have earlier Evelo bike models that are still going strong. They all like the NuVinci systems for it's ease of use and the decent torque of the mid drive motor. With the new Bafang mid drive (I have retrofitted one of my own bikes with a BBS02 kit) she will...

Also, @Reid, on the page you land on with that link, scroll down to Part D: "D. Requests for Public Comments In accordance with section 304(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2414(b)), USTR invites comments from interested persons with respect to the proposed additional action of imposing an...

@MikeDD, just saw elizilla's post and realized we hadn't heard more about your wife's experience with her Liberty Trike. Looking forward to an update and would love some pics, please :)

Mark, thanks for the wonderful pic! I may just borrow that for my companion article on Saddles & Handlebar Grips & Tapes :)

@temujen, we're looking forward to hearing about your Juggernaut once it arrives. Please load us up with pictures of the bike and where you ride, too :)

Your bike's chain is an impressive component; mostly taken for granted yet a critical part whose care is often ignored. With up to 116 links and 8 parts per link, a bike chain has more moving parts than any other component on a bike. For power transmission, a chain drive is very efficient...

Tom, the Suntour NCX seatpost is another great option that can be dialed in for each rider's preferences. It's also less expensive than the BodyFloat or Thudbuster; about $80 to $100.

Note to all bike shop owners and small manufacturers of custom ebikes, Fact: Electric Bikes & fully built Lithium Battery Packs ARE on the 2nd list of tariffs that is being considered to go into effect at the end of August or early Sept. Electric bike motors & Lithium cells had their tariff go...

Few topics are as sensitive as the connection between you and your bike's saddle. The right seatpost can change a stiff, rigid bike frame into a more forgiving comfortable ride, dampening bumpy roads and potholes or smoothing an off-road trail. There's a significant impact force transmitted up...

No need to apologize! We like to hear about new ebike companies; feel free to post a pic or 2 of your shop here as well. It's an introduction space :)
