So, I guess painting my ebike a faux rust color isn't the solution either... https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/painting-fake-rust-on-a-bike.198636/ Mike...

Well, you've left a lot of questions for us... for example, would you rather have bionic legs, or do ghost pedaling? At 5'4" you are typically talking a size small. Not everyone sells a size small. Step through is a good pick. Do you want an integrated battery, or one that looks like it's...

My Giant Stance E+2 does not have a speedo out of the gate. I had to add one to know how fast I was going...

I don't know enough about our neighborhoods theft rates, because ebikes have only gotten hot here in more recent years. But with the economy the way it is, and our proximity to Detroit and Pontiac, yeah, it's a scary thought. I'd feel safer locking up a rusty old bike without an emotor on it. I...

Would you park your expensive e-bike/grocery getter outside a supermarket? My average time in the supermarket is about 20 minutes. I can imagine the ebike growing legs in that time frame... even with a krypton lock on it... Mike...

:eek: In our area they have to keep building bike paths because the street are not safe. Ask @rochrunner about Indianwood Rd, or even Lapeer Rd. And that's just the roads close to me. I imagine @rochrunner has the same issues in his neighborhood. Mike...

Hey Stefan, Sorry to hear about this fire. Are you still in the flats or are you back in the house?

Just checked the bike computer. The round trip was 14.42miles, done in 48:01 minutes... Right now the wind is 15MPH with gusts up to 30MPH, so I'm guessing it was about the same when I rode... definitely more gusts than wind! LOL!

The Stance E+2 is a 2020 model. I. have not used it that much, as my rides are divided among many bikes. So I would say the battery is almost like new! I’m going to attribute the astronomical drain to the wind. It’s supposed to be a nice day again tomorrow… I’ll test it then! Mike…

Wow, I've never had this happen before... Yes, it was a really really windy day out there. Did I say "REALLY" windy!? But I decided to go for a ride anyways. My Giant Stance E+2 was fully charged. I can typically do a 20 mile trip on about 20% of the battery. But today, with the wind, after...

I'm guessing factory programming. I did buy from Eco-ebike, but I did not buy the programming kit. I did just order a cable... can a torque sensor be added to the BBSHD?

Test drive a Vado. Only you can tell if it's right for you... BTW, I really enjoy my Vado... Mike...

So it was a beautiful weather day here today. So I went maybe 20 miles round trip, in no hurry. The first part of my journey was between 10 and 15 mph. It was very busy on the trail today... Lots of people walking too. I had to do a lot of "on your left" and bell ringing! The local tavern...

Looks like it's good weather all over the place! (Except for the Pacific NW, and maybe part of the east coast, like PA and VA.) Heck, even Poland has nice weather! I imagine everyone is outside riding their legs off. I know I did! I'm waiting for the reports and the photos to start trickling...

Wow, 88 miles... does that include the straight line shown on your map? Mike...

I have one mirror on all my bikes. Consider it a safety feature! :)

How many of us have more than say, 2 ebikes? And how many of us are still looking at new ebikes, and what are you looking at? I'll start. I have 4 ebikes! Ha! And I am looking at a Vado SL! :cool:

Very nice gravel bike! I imagine you're making @Stefan Mikes jealous too!

okay, so ghost pedaling is not necessary. Still I imagine range can be an issue.

Don't ebikes with throttles only go up to 15mph? If so, my first thought is that you need cadence sensing instead of torque sensing. Then you can ghost pedal all the way to the limit of the bike. 20 or 28mph. And if you are pedaling in turbo mode, range is going to be an issue. I agree with...
