    Cutler's Fusion eBike (549 USD with 37mph speed)

    Red flag concerns: Multiple grammar errors on the post and the linked site. 92 lbs doesn't sound like a bike to me. It looks like a motorcycle.

    Diamondback Overdrive EXC with TranzX Mid-Motor

    Not in the market myself but i always enjoy looking. If I really wanted to ride one I could probably talk the people at Performance into letting me. Or better yet, in So Cal, there is a place called Myron's Extreme Machines. This place is great. I drive by performance on my way home, but...

    Diamondback Overdrive EXC with TranzX Mid-Motor

    I often walk around my local performance bike store and check this thing out. It seems like one heck of a bike and a great deal right now. However, it is an entry level mid drive and there some drawbacks. I would like to test drive one, but haven't yet. I'm not really in the market for another...

    What's the Scorecard on Mid-drive?

    Flymeaway has the practical knowledge and seat time in a variety or setups to really get to the heart of this matter. He should consider his own crowd funded campaign, and or get together with 86, and build a highend machine. Just saying.

    Diamondback EBIKES Why

    I'm sure that not all retailers that carry diamondback and Raleigh will be willing to carry the EBIKES. Although their strategy will exert a greater and wider presence overall, I wonder how much it cannibalize the already established izip brand.

    Need New Tires... Marathon -or- Marathon?

    Thanks for the info! I never thought of rotating bike tires. I will make a habit out of it now that I am biking so much more. The tires were a daily deal at biketiresdirect.com they are now 30 something. Even though my front are OK, I think I will just replace them both. I may experiment with...

    Anyone here joined the National Bike Challenge?

    Biking, EBIKES, sailing, and kayaking are all awesome. There is something I just love about human powered propulsion. Or at least somewhat human powered, ie EBIKES and my Hobie tadem island. Is there a kayaking mile challenge somewhere? Is there an ap for tracking that, "map my stroke" maybe?

    I am pretty sure the poll results would be reversed if posted on endless sphere.

    Need New Tires... Marathon -or- Marathon?

    Every time I get a flat I troll the internet trying to find a good deal on Marathon plus tires. I often put a pair in my cart and I am just too cheap to pull the trigger. I just can't seem to stomach $50 for a bicycle tire. I noticed my rear tire is now looking worn and I recently got a flat...

    Anyone here joined the National Bike Challenge?

    For the past two years I've had the slogan "Everyday in May!" Meaning I want to try to take my bike to work everyday in May. Last year I only did about 70 % this year closer to 80. This week was the first week that the I have ever made it everyday, but my son says it doesn't count because it...

    Why do you ride an Ebike?

    I was just thinking about this the other day. I use my ebike almost exclusively for transportation to commute to work. I have always liked the idea of bike commuting: less gas, pollution, cars on the road, it makes a mundane task of driving to work an adventure, and I get some exercise on the...

    Karmic - Karmic Koben, Press - PR - Praise - Critique

    If I were to build an ebike, I would probably do something like the Karmic. It seems like a good and practical mix of components for a solid commuter. With that being said, it doesn't seem like anything more than a $500 bikes direct hybrib with a $1,000 Bafang mid drive kit bolted on. I'm pretty...

    Anyone here joined the National Bike Challenge?

    Which smart phone ad is best for tracking rides? On Wednesday I drove to work and left my battery there so that when I rode on Friday I could ride to work on my ebike with no e. I have been wanting to try that but never have until yesterday. I have done it with my regular bike, but not with...
