Kaldeem my advice to upgrade your breaks wasn't written very well. I kind of wondered between mechanical and hydraulic, SRAM and Shimano. This article has a better summary of brake performance and points out the good news that SRAM guide brakes might now be the best of all brakes...

I saw a review of carbon rims. And cheap carbon rims from China can be longer lasting than name brand carbon rims. That shows me that the potential is there for a whole bike based on carbon to have great economy and quality. JoePah, a side note about chrome moly, it expands and contracts a lot...

The European standard of 250 watt pedal assist and 200 watt max if throttle is included, makes me glad I live in America. Even Canada is stuck at 500 watt max unlike our 750 watt limit. I understand obesity is much lower in Europe but handicapped people are still going to be off in their hill...

The BBSHD chain fall off problem does depend on the type of bike. Electric-fatbike.com has a article with the details. I noticed hyperlinked clicks to articles on their website usually get a error message. So the easiest way is to go to the homepage, then scroll down to the article titled "...

The $85 dollar "bling ring" upgrade option from EM3ev is a must have. The BBSHD default ring performs poorly and has frustrated reviewers by repeatedly dropping the chain. The default also weights twice what is should.

Kaldeem, I saw on another thread that you are looking for a summer bike. And at the start of this thread you said 1 electric bike would not be enough. But there might be a way to get more satisfaction out of this bike. The brakes from bikesdirect are low rated if not Shimano. Avid hydraulic...

In holding with the pattern of typos on electric bike websites, Pedego Ridge Rider has the Shimano HG 62-10 listed as a 12 tooth up to 32 tooth specification. Those are bad numbers. But luckily the part is listed as a 11 tooth up to 36 tooth when looked up.

The first review I ever saw of Courts was for the Copenhagen wheel on YouTube. Later I found the great EBR website. Surprising that this product is still not shipping.

KenM, is the gas bike fun because of torque, speed, ease of filling up or what? Hopefully electric can catch up if it is lacking in a category.

I like the level of details they tell on the lectric cycle 1000 watt kit. They list the decibels of loudness when running ( less than 55db). 1000 watt sustained output 1600 peak watts peak. 160 newtons torque. It would be wonderful to have this much information for every electric bike and...

Other reviewers of the STEP Shimano system have had the same problem. I was worried that major manufactures would use brand loyalty to Shimano in deciding what system to use. Instead of looking at an individual items quality when deciding what to use. Brand loyalty is like having blinders on in...

I have seen this thread several times and I missed the fine print. The Shareroller uses a wireless throttle. I understand that makes cables a breeze, but the hairs on the back of my neck stand up at the thought of no wires on the throttle. Connection loss or interference takeover etc.. The...

Doker44 I can see their point about leaving around instead of shipping as soon as possible, as a policy. So this means you are there for the pickup or you have to have it resent from the sender for another try?

Douglas Ruby, Chinese companies usually use a January date for the new model year. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in order to stimulate the economy sooner, made about September the new model year for cars. Specialized and Trek use an even earlier system. 10 years ago, I bout a Trek mountain bike...

Nirmala. Amazon does have lower priced folding bikes,(from the top of the page at Amazon just click the word folding>) but the downtube.com bikes you referenced have Amazon beat on price for a 8 speed 20 inch wheel bike.

George S., good reference article. The Samsung 30Q seems to behave like the Voltbike advertised batteries. 20% more power density and looked up users reviewing it in comments, are reporting the lifetime of the battery is much better than others. The science articles pertaining to Si enhanced...

2 things I find exciting about this bike are the wheels and the batteries. I have seen the fat folding bikes on Chinese websites but reports of damaged products and no help possible to replace or fix, has left me too fearful to go that route. Small wide tires should be nearly invulnerable to...

George S., the Kranked E squared video review on EBR had the interviewee saying that the kit had a reduction gear and was equivalent to a 500 or 700 watt system at the drive train. Court still listed the might be illegal warning label on the review. It would sure be nice to get clarity on how...

Nirmala, this project has beautiful engineering in all parts. I really thought this was more of a gimmick, Jeff the engineer even said the older rollers were useless in the rain. I had heard inefficient mechanical connection also made them wasteful and short range. Just like urethane changed the...
