    Getting rads of attention

    I just smile and talk to them about how much fun it is, and how much I save on gas. I say "you should get one to, you'll love it." Sometimes I let them ride it up the road. Never had anyone just ride off yet!! I really want to see more riders in my area.

    Q: Has owning an e-bike changed your car driving habits?

    I ride mine as much as possible reducing car trips significantly! I have put over 1k miles on ebikes in the last 8 months. Winter is about to start, so we'll see if I can ride the bike through the cold.

    Hello via SC ...

    I ride in NC it's a lot of fun. Be careful with traffic interactions. Since there isn't a lot of ebike riders here people underestimate my speed frequently. I just roll with it and give them space, but have had people pass me awkwardly. I mostly ride in 30 mph and below zones and ride an spedelec.

    NYC e-bikers beware

    So... I was under the impression that ebikes are completely outlawed in NY and that even regular bikes have to be registered to ride on public property. Am I completely mistaken?

    Asking for suggestions... and one question

    I have the Topeak setup on my bike. You can see a pic with my daughter on the back here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/topeak-disc-rack-mounted-on-crosscurrent.5061/ I have the CrossCurrent, but would be a little nervous about commuting without good lights because we don't have...

    Did my ST2s just get faster???

    I Think the display is off. Mine stops assistance at 30.2, but my road has a speed display sign that shows 27-28 when I go by it. I could test with the gps tomorrow.

    Shockstop by Redshirt Sports

    I was looking at this for an ST2 S, but not sure it will work as a replacement for the integrated stem.

    Cross Current extended battery

    I just went for a battery test around my area. The bike still had juice when I stopped, but I'm satisfied with the range. I was a little smoked with an avg HR of 159, and the battery was down to one led under load. Total weight including bicycle was 261 lbs. towards the end of the run I was...

    New Ohm lineup.

    I noticed on the ohm cycles page they have the new bikes listed. Has anyone seen/rode/bought one?? Is the motor upgraded?

    Cross Current extended battery

    Garmin Vivoactive HR. I don't GPS track all of the time, and the watch knows I'm riding and tracks my time. The screenshots are from a GPS event. One interesting thing about my ride is I burn about half the calories of a nonebike. I mostly ride for the fun of it, and get plenty of exercise at...

    Vintage ElectricEbike may be my next commuter ebike

    Too bad they don't make one with brake light and turn signals. I could register it as a moped here in NC and get the best of both worlds. Definitely the coolest bike I've seen.

    These brake are seriously the worst!

    Mine work pretty good.

    Topeak Disc Rack Mounted on CrossCurrent

    I installed my Topeak Baby II Disc rack system on the Crosscurrent today. I like this rack because I can easily go between my MTX pannier bags, and the baby seat. The items I needed in addition to what came with the rack are: 1- 6 x 1.0 - 50 screw for the disc brake side 1 - 6 x 1.0 - 25 screw...

    Cross Current

    Mine definitely doesn't cruise at 28 easily, but the power is comparable to my Haibike that is also rated at 350w. They both seem about the same to me. I would like more power, but that would use more energy and cost more. I weigh 210 with accessories on the bike. For the price, the bike is...

    Cross Current

    Just got my bike. Glad I pulled the trigger on this. I have a Haibike Xduro FS RX and a Diamondback Trace Disc (not electric). Setup was super easy out of the box. My seat came with a small rip in it, and I am working with Juiced to get it replaced. The bike gets up to speed easily and feels...

    Cross Current

    Jack Tyler, this seems straightforward now. They used two pre existing holes and rethreaded them or one. Thanks for your pics and help. One last question, are the holes level, or is the rack bent to level?

    Cross Current

    This is the set I have, but I haven't tried them on the bike yet. I had them on a diamondback trace. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000AO9Z66/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1467650683&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bicycle+fenders+700c&th=1&psc=1

    Cross Current

    Looks good! I have the same fenders. was the hole already there, or did they need to drill the hole then thread it?

    Cross Current

    Has anybody had any luck mounting a Topeak disk rack on the crosscurrent? Don't want to waste the money on it if not. Also wondering what the seat post diameter is
