    Commuter Log

    Coming home from work yesterday on my Neo Carbon, I stopped at a stoplight with another bike. A friendly chap who said, "Nice Bike!" When the light turned green I was kind of embarrassed to whip past the guy, but ahh what the hell; I did it anyway. As fate would have it I got stuck at the...

    Post pics of your Stromer here

    I think my two favorite parts are the nice bigger tires and the dual headlights. My two least favorite parts of any Stromer are the weight and the price!

    Commuter Log

    Don't tell me you leave that thing outside all night? I would put that baby right next to my bed, or even in it, if I had to.

    Jumper: brake squeal also set level of assist?

    My commute is 13.2 miles but I charged it at work today. There are still 3 bars left after my ride home today. If I were taking my bike tomorrow, I would just ride it and charge it then. I usually only use two bars on my way to work anyway. I wasn't planning on using my bike till Friday, so I...

    Jumper: brake squeal also set level of assist?

    What do you think about my first ebike?

    Wow you got a great deal. Looks great. I thought about buying something used, but I worried about not knowing the battery's condition at time of purchase and a lack of a warranty. For the money you spent it doesn't really matter!!

    36 volt vs 48 volt electric bike batteries

    Court, Didn't Neoex48 say that he wanted a mountain bike?? The Interceptor is not really a mountain bike aimed at different terrain and climbing hills??

    What do you think about my first ebike?

    Hey Awesome. My son loves it. Could you list the specs, parts, and cost of something like that? I don't know much about building one, but it is very intriguing to me and I do wonder if it is cost effective. I especially like the flat black. Very Cool!!

    Even More Neo Carbon Love

    Good point. My wife's bike is actually blue, but it didn't make the picture cut. I find myself being drawn to all the black bikes; they're faster you know. My new favorites are; "Brambor's Black Turbo and that new Grace MXII also looks pretty awesome. I would love for you to do a drag race as...

    Good point Chris. At 6'5" the Commuter may be small.

    Motiv Shadow tire replacement

    Gabe, Apparently Orange County is full of glass. My second ride out I got a flat too!! See my post in Even More Carbon Love. I recently installed a double thick tube on my rear tire. I found it best to just flip the bike upside down after struggling to loosen the bolt while on a bike...

    Help me choose please:)

    For comfort and power, the 48v City Commuter is hard to beat. For more of an aggressive/refined "bike" feel and better overall components the Cross. You have to decide which bike better suits you. They are both very good. What do you currently have? If you currently have a mountain bike, or...

    Do you get more exercise riding an electric bike?

    When I was telling my extended family about my experiences commuting on my e-bike, someone asked me how the effort and exercise compare to when I take my regular bike. I said it is about the same. Most of the people were confused at that statement. "How can that be? What's the point then?"...

    I think they must have changed it. My key will come out in locked or unlocked position. Do you leave the key in when you charge the battery? I do when I am home to remind me to lock it, but I don't when I am at work.

    Bike repair stand

    I guess it would be worth it if I actually knew something about working on bikes. This summer I plan to educate myself on the basics of brake and derailer adjustment. Is it possible to true a wheel by yourself?? I usually take my bike in for that stuff. Now that my kids have grown into...

    Bike repair stand

    When I put together my bike I just used the bike carrier that attaches to the trailer hitch. It now serve two functions!! I can't imagine a stand would be any better, but I have never used one so I don't know. 150 bucks sounds too steep for me!! When I tried to change my flat, however, I...

    Big Wheel Electric Trike Drifting Anyone?

    I don't think I could justify buying one of those by saying I could use it for commuting, BUT I HAVE TO TRY THAT THING! That brings me back to my youth. My yellow and black Big Wheel was my favorite thing EVER. It was my first bike, my first personal mode of transportation and independence...
