Sounds like an upgrade from a car to me with those commute times and without breaking a sweat :) Noticed you have a second passenger setup on the cargo portion, have you tried it with a full adult second passenger or was it just child passenger? And what are your thoughts on the second...

Awesome! I got my eBike around mid October and clocked in 400 miles just recently with first flat! lol So I need to catch up to you, but I doubt I will as it is starting to get cold here in Chicago and I don't think I will ride much when the slush and snow hit hehe. I am thinking down the line...

That is awesome, but it looks like it is human powered only, need to slap an electric motor on that bad boy! haha

@Ann M. Thanks for the tips on tire liners and heavier duty thorn resistant tubes! I will look into that!

I live in Chicago and got my eBike a few weeks ago from Kozy's and use it as a commuter, it about a 20 miles round trip, so I can do it on one charge on my EZ Pedaler X350. My route to and from ain't bad, not all bike lanes but some, no major pot holes but some bumpy rides here and there I need...

I ended up buying my 1st eBike from Kozy. I went to the Milwaukee Ave. location (currently they said that is their eBike destination at least for service). I ended up getting a EZ Pedaler X350 floor model after watching review court gave and test riding it at Kozys. I thought it would be a good...

@harryS Looks great! I am born and raised in Chicago and only got to ride LSD without cars when they closed it down for the late ride many years back (and it was only a partial closure) That is when I used to ride a lot with friends and family, took some time off from riding but recently got...

Nice choice in bike @Alan Acock! I always wanted a Trek growing up, I thought they were the best bikes having tried my friend's regular "human powered" Treks lol I saw a bit of Court's review on this eBike and thought it would be good choice for me to use as a commuter to work, but in the end...

Since this is a big Sweden thread, in my circle of friends we are aware of and have a lot of respect for Alexander Gustafson! I thought he defeated Jon Jones and should have been champion! haha Also Jan Ove Waldner, Jorgen Person, Erik Lindh, and all the great table tennis players from that...

Since Christmas is coming up, maybe I will put the motorcycle gear on my wish list otherwise I might just look into Snowboarding stuff, thanks for your help! haha Marc V

Thanks for info! I have seen those Bar Mitts winter handlebar warmers or stuff like it! @Ravi Kempaiah shared a video with me of this guy who uses them! lol Here is article http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/02/20/cold-bother-anyway/23765513/ Peddling helps keep us warm in the winter...

I had the same question before I bought my eBike, but after test riding it, I liked it so much I bought it first and would deal with that question later haha. Anyways, I had it out last night and it was a misty rain drizzle as well as my ride into work. As much as possible I try to store it...

Wow! I recently got an eBike from a local shop here in Chicago, but thinking back we had some electric bike in our Chicago Costco, but I didn't know too much about eBike until recently I thought it was a scam! haha Man am I regretting not stopping by and talking to them knowing there was a...

Thanks for the tip for the hand detergent over the surface of your goggles! I was having issues with my goggles going into work today as it was a misty rain, they were unusable and I had to remove them! lol I will try that trick on my eBike ride home! haha Take care, ride safe! Marc V

Thanks for the info and sharing the other thread, I'll go check it out. That looks like a pretty chilly picture! What temps have you endured with that clothing setup? And do you pedal as well or just throttle? Thanks! Marc V P.S I like the way you rock your U-Lock and chain, I have similar set...

Hmm...my initial thinking was try it on a separate 6v power source but it sounds like that is what they tried with the lantern battery. I am curious to find out what the solution is because I was thinking of changing my headlight out on my built in EZ Pedaler X350 to something brighter, if you...

@ebikes rock Thanks for all the tips! and will look into trying it! You are not the only person to warn me about cotton haha. The two socks I wore were not cotton btw, I used the dry-fit moisture wicking socks (use these for my ping pong haha) so they are a blend of stuff but no cotton, but I...

Hey All! I live in Chicago and it is starting to get cold, I was riding the other night and it was in the 20s! and of course Chicago can get colder! I recently bought my eBike and originally I was planning on just riding it until it started getting cold, but I am wondering about extending my...

Nice choice! I was looking into getting the rad mini or rad wagon myself as a commuter and leisure eBike lol Take care ride safe! Marc V
