    @GizmoEV Yeah... the new E-GMP vehicles (EV6, Ioniq 5) have fast charging as quick as Tesla. That's why I switched from the Y so I don't have to charge at home and now get those 2 free years of charging. I just "fuel" up every 2 weeks. I just need more EA DC chargers in my area.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    Orange County, CA - 9/10 There are quite a few dedicated paved trails for biking in the OC. Some connect several cities and others go along almost the entire coastline. My group probably has 20 different rides we can get to within half an hour and can range from beach to valley to urban. Many...

    Ok... finally tracked it today. Average was 180kw, max was 200kw (even found the Charging History section in my EA app to confirm the max). On average, I can get from 20ish% to 90ish% in the 30 minute free EA session. Up to 80% is always 18 minutes or less which rivals Tesla Supercharging...

    Known Issues & Problems with Espin Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    From my experience, REI will work on any bike, ebike or not, REI brand or not. That's why I bought the membership there, much cheaper than my numerous LBS and mobile services for stuff like flats etc.

    Sport model by Espin discontinued

    I recently got an EV without a hitch and have been taking the front wheel on/off the Sport and heaving it into the back cargo, so folding an XP may probably be the same effort. Even when I had the rack, putting the Sport on it was some effort (which is why I was looking for a lighter bike like...

    Buzz probably won't hit until later next year. I think the 3rd row and 2nd row folded form a flat space (need to confirm).

    Sport model by Espin discontinued

    Yes... still haven't found anything that compels me to replace it. Mine's getting old (I've probably rode thousands of miles because I bike every weekend at least 20-40miles) so I do need a new one... may finally try out the Lectric XP 3.0 since the new update has hydraulic brakes and I could...

    Depends on who you lease with... the captive (Hyundai Financial) is not so good. Other banks may have better programs (and can apply the $7500 Fed credit because leasing has less restrictions for the lessor).

    SEL RWD Extended... so like 300+ miles? I really wanted a Limited but those are harder to find and the leases on them are bleh.

    Sorry... didn't track this. Was sort of busy looking at the VF-9. The tester guy even let me sit in it. :) I'll make sure to look at it next time.

    Fast charged the Ioniq 5 today from 28% to 80% in 15 minutes, up to 92% in 30 minutes. Also saw a VinFast VF-9:

    Multiple as long as there is 60 minutes between each session. So... if you can find good EA charges along the way... road trippable.

    But they do still have it on leases. It varies from $5k up and I think they might start throwing more incentives as inventory grows.

    So just turned in a Y and was going to wait a while before our next EV but got a pretty good deal on an Ioniq 5 lease so I got it... not the Limited trim I wanted but the mid SEL trim. The most interesting thing is I got an extended range model, over 300+ miles so I treat it like an ICE car. I...

    Had the opportunity to have a brief chat with Ride1up CEO Daniel Urbino at Electrify Expo

    I'm sad I didn't know about this event as it's close enough to me. Could have checked out ebikes and EVs... my 2 favorite things. :)

    Recent Brake Announcement by Lectric

    The XP 3.0 models now come with hydraulic brakes and an updated to the controller system to manage power output better. They don't ship until July. I think I will finally get a Lectric... I was looking at the XPremium but now that the XP 3.0 has hydraulic, I will save the money (plus I'm used...

    Roadster V2 Gravel Edition

    That actually looks pretty good except it doesn't have a throttle. Looking a light ebike like this with gears and a throttle.

    Roadster V2 Gravel Edition

    Newer gravel models also have "throttle display"... which is basically a throttle and not sure why R1U doesn't call that out more. Do the non-gravel models also have the throttle?

    Roadster V2 Gravel Edition

    Not too worried about catching my buddies... just worried about when we are just going less than 10mph, having to use power to do so. Lots of our biking is just conversations about what happened the previous week. :)

    Roadster V2 Gravel Edition

    @dukeybootie Yeah... I'm not sure about the single speed... and if there is some drag on PAS 0 that's worrisome. My Sport has 7-speeds and I actually use most of them depending on grade and speed (and trying to catch up to my faster bike gang). I also looked at the KBO Hurricane but like...
