    A cooler (less warm) helmet?

    General consensus is a bike helmet's life, barring any accident, is only three years afterwhich the foam core begins to deteriorate. There should be a manufacture date in each of them as to when the helmet is made. Seems short but it may make a difference if involved in an accident.

    made in usa?

    Felt's another American born and based company, but if you look at the sum of the parts, their bikes, like most other company's products, are really international conglomerations. Ponder the prices now, if every component on an e-bike was USA made, realize how much more the prices would escalate.

    Is it spring yet??

    Hey mother nature, if you rode an E-bike, instead of riding the wind, you'd have more energy to climatically change the season for good. Stay healthy, mom, try to ignore the global warming for now or a least until the human race gets its act together.

    Disappointed, NYC 5 Borough Bike Tour

    Chris, Kurt, after the mayor finally came to his senses, and made the decision yesterday "not to target peddle assist E-bikes in the city", maybe the "rules" for the tour will change next year. I think I'll call again to see what they have to say.

    Disappointed, NYC 5 Borough Bike Tour

    I was thoroughly psyched to enter the NYC Bike Tour, but unfortunately, the rules on line stated "human powered bicycles only". So I called the organization to explain that my bike is only peddle assisted, but the woman on the other end confirmed that it wouldn't be allowed. I asked her if she...

    mail order e bikes

    All well and good, but make sure the manufacturer of the bike you choose allows mail order bikes to be warranted. Some firms may not cover them. I've read that Felt and Raleigh mail orders, to name a couple, are not covered. Double check to be sure. elliot

    Most Popular E-Bike company on this forum

    My write-in vote is for my 2017 Felt SportE 85 HP. My quest was for an ebike that didn't look like an ebike. I test drove most manufacturers available in stores around NYC that offered many to choose from and I kept coming came back to the very first one I drove. I think because it was a...

    Afternoon people, Before you decide to purchase your next bike on line. Make sure that the warranty is still applicable. I just read that some companies do not warrant their bikes if they were purchased via mail order. Check, it could be important. elliot f.

    felt ebike bike not as peppy as in the past

    I checked the diagnostic that was preformed a couple of weeks ago and it stated what version firmware was present in the motor, the battery and the Intuvia. The battery and the Intuvia were the same but the motor firmware was more recent than was listed on bosch's website. Brought the bike in...

    Hey guys, If there was a malfunction in the cadence, torque or wheel speed sensor, would it show up on the intuvia screen or in the diagnostic report which was done? Bike seems to drag a little more all as of late. Tires are inflated. I am not as aerodynamic as in the summer but I feel the...
