    Legal LOOPHOLE? Can 800W M1 Spitzing qualify as CA Class1 BICYCLE

    We keep everything in accordance with the CPSC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws#United_States You can play around with local law, etc. but as ebikes become more popular, state law will generally start aligning to the CPSA. The big problem you're going to have with a...

    Check out Courts Review of M1 Spitzing

    Over 750w ain't class one. I gotta tell ya, we were testing all of them on the ramp next to the exhibit and I really didn't feel like this pulled noticeably better than a bosch/d-series/xion/st2/impulse 2 on the hills. But then, I still think Easy Motions are some of the best hill climbers...

    Check out Courts Review of M1 Spitzing

    I got to test this one out at Interbike along with @Ravi Kempaiah. It was fun for sure, but I preferred the rest of M1's lineup, which are some of the very best ebikes out there. The Xion motor is one of my favs. @motostrano is carrying them. Check out the secede for something truly special...

    People are actually riding bikes across this intersection

    Weirdly, I always felt safer riding a bike during my time in China than I do in America. Though traffic was nuts and driving terrified me, the drivers where acclimated to bikes. Certainly can't speak for Ethiopia though. ...This would probably give me a heart attack.

    Purchasing first e-bike and looking for guidance

    @britcanpakus, A large Evo Jet should be the best of all worlds: http://www.emotionbikesusa.com It's agile and quick like the Cross, but you'll really appreciate the step-thru when you have the child seat on. My favorite child seats are Yepps btw. http://www.yepp.nl/uk/Collection Cheers...

    Sweet new tail light: Niterider Sentinel.

    Haven't tried a turbo flash. Is that the Super Flash turbo? The sentinel flash is a 2watt and pretty much the same as my Cygolite: http://www.cygolite.com The Cygolite combo is still probably the best value: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-commuter-bike-lights/

    Would appreciate member POV on new commuter.

    @grench, you're first list ain't bad. If you have a chance to test those, get into it. I'd toss Motiv and E-Joe on the list too because of the 15 ah batteries. At that weight and slightly hilly terrain, not many hub motors are going to do the full 28 miles with moderate assistance. Kalkhoff...

    Dutch Bike Conversion Questions

    Hey @suigeneris, Bionx is the best conversion kit. @JoePah likes ebike kit. I've been impressed with the power of those kits and they're very cheap. I see some obstacles. The roller brakes in the rear aren't hub motor compatible and I'm betting you have internal shifters, which is an issue...

    Haibike xduro fs 29 vs Felt Nine e

    @Longhorngary, I often use the ST1 for commuting and Haibike 29er for mountain biking. Personally, I prefer each in those roles, but the Haibike still makes a great commuter (just change the tires, small block 8s). On the trail, the Felts REALLY shine. After spending months on the Haibike, I...

    Easy Motion Evo Cross/29er Question

    correction: http://www.conti-online.com/www/bicycle_de_en/themes/cross/cyclocross_speed_en.html 35c awesome tires though.

    Easy Motion Evo Cross/29er Question

    Killer tires. Evo cross isn't arriving here till next week so can't give you a definitive answer. It would be really close to the bottom chain stay on the old Cross. These look like the Conti Cyclocross tire trends, so those would work at a 38. Schwalbe Mondials are a popular for this setup too.

    looking for suggestions

    Yeah, that used to happen with my ST1. Annoying. Pitbulls were tough, but I couldn't fitt'em in my belt... @Brambor those hiploks look great!
