    Demo Problem

    Hi George Thanks for your reply. We have had no issues with the Gen 2 BOSCH system, so I can't comment on stuff I've only heard about. We had one issue with a Gen 1. Until we see issues with Gen 2, I'll keep score on our end so I can relay this information to our customers and they can decide...

    Demo Problem

    I stumbled on to this older post today, so I thought to shed some light on it and “the demo problem” thoughtfully because I can see some impressions that are not in line with reality or our policy and “the demo problem” is an issue that e-bike dealers and consumers face daily when in the market...

    Lapierre Bikes

    Interesting! Lapierre's standard practice is to employ totally unique and fairly cutting edge design on their bikes to stand out and solve specific problems. Here they are similarly priced as the Haibike and slightly less than the Felt. On par. So what do you ride Eddie?

    Bosch ebike system reliability

    Court Here's a boring video we did of an aftermarket dongle install on a Bosch system, "for testing purposes only" of course.... This is one of the German dongles that halves the speed gauge of the bike, letting it rocket through the atmosphere at a blistering 28MPH instead of the 20. The...

    Lapierre Bikes

    So far, for our demo model, we have only the FS model for Lapierre and it's a small size frame so I haven't spent much quality time on it yet to give much feedback on that regard. I'm 6 foot, so until we get a larger frame I won't have a real comparison from the Haibikes, which I've spent a lot...

We have the small size FS model on the floor for testing and and larger frames for purchase. Near our store is great testing zone for our off-road machines and we can...

    Bosch ebike system reliability

    Reliability is always a concern for any one looking at spending a couple thousand or more dollars on an e-bike (or anything) and I see a couple other posts about the BOSCH system so here's are experience with the system so far after 2 years working with and selling the BOSCH systems, both Gen 1...

    BESV models

    I'll be the first to post here because we have a few of the BESVs on the floor and any local NorCal riders are welcome to visit either of our stores for a test ride. The PS1: http://www.motostrano.com/BESV-PS1-Electric-Bike-p/besvps1.htm is an interesting bike for it's materials, components...

    Life span of an eBike

    Sharonerd- it depends really on what electric kit you are looking at. At my shop, we encourage customers to invest in the more expensive and higher quality products that will and do last longer than lower quality lower priced products because they are simply made with better materials. The...

    Can We Get a Storm Forum?

    Flat tarmac, it's hard to say and if so with how much effort on your end and at what speed. And, it's not so much a matter of will you make it, but how many times will it make it before a motor or battery or something else goes kaput and you have to deal with the low grade stuff as part of your...

    Felt Dual-E Availability

    The Felt Dual-E mountain bikes are finally shipping. We'll have an array of them and I expect them to sell out quick. So check your local dealer. The Dual-e is stacked up well against some of the other FS BOSCH bikes. Joe Motostrano.com

    Can We Get a Storm Forum?

    There you go talking like these things are sold and running around every where already. They aren't 3% of anything until the bikes are delivered and not returned for defect. It's a borderline scam if you ask me and isn't doing anything to benefit e-bike popularity. When these things bomb out...

    Can We Get a Storm Forum?

    There will be a "storm" of rants about this thing even before it's out. Hype about this and the Copenhagen wheel is hilarious to me. We had a guy stop in yesterday because he was looking at the Storm online and his wife told him (rightly) it was probably crap and he should visit a real e-bike...
