    SURFACE 604 -SLOW SUPPORT, BUT ISSUE EVENTUALLY RESOLVED SATISFACTORILY

    TJ, are you suggesting Court only operates on a profit motive? Considering your profile lists you as a well-known member, I can only assume that's an ill-informed opinion unless I'm misunderstanding the comment. I have read his reviews extensively for 4 years and gain valuable information not...

    Greetings from Boston!

    Pedego Bikes had an exclusive shop in Belmont Square but the owner has moved and closed up, but you can find a number of LBS which now carry a variety of electric bikes. Check out Landry Bikes on Comm Ave in which you can test ride some ...though I recommend not on Comm Ave itself! Also...

    Don't charge your bike battery above 80% and don't ride below 20%. Maybe, maybe not.

    Now that's an amazing ride, standing up the whole 50! Or very sore.

    Finding an Ebike that checks all the boxes

    I know what you mean, TWBKR, for me paralysis by analysis! Let me tell you about the spreadsheets I've made trying to narrow down to the perfect ebike! And then it's time to wait for the newer models.

    Help on folding electric bike purchase

    As ebikemom says, nothing beats the hands-on experience of trying the bike out first, not to assume you disqualify other bikes that you could buy online. I have the Ejoe Epik SE; it's powerful enough for shorter rides or as a commuting bike, but the nature of smaller 20'' wheels is you can...

    Accessorized Propella Ebike Giveaway (Finished)

    FWIW, how about having members vote, maybe on 3 finalists and then Court picks the winner? Oh, might be kinda late for that if today was the deadline!:eek:

    advice needed for e-bike with throttle, low-step thru, battery on down-tube

    I too started with the Pedego CC and found the rear of the bike had a mind of its own sometimes. The bike is a good 60lbs aside from that! Middrive motors tend not to have throttles, so you may want a rear hub drive but with the battery placement in or on the middle tube. Check out some of...

    Request for selections

    ~25+ miles, ie longer than my 5 mile commute. I wouldn't be interested in carrying two batteries for 100 miles, so mainly recreational rides. I think I narrowed my selections down to the Magnum Ui6 or Bulls Cross Lite.

    Request for selections

    I'm looking for a suitable bike for longer rides, my Ejoe Epik SE is fine for commuting, but 20in wheels just don't do it for an efficient longer recreational (city street, suburbs, paved bike trail) ride. As extensive as Court's reviews have been, maybe there are some bikes I haven't come...

    Just starting, need general advice

    I can offer my opinion on your question re the Pedego step-thru City Commuter: company known for good LBS service and solid quality parts, but that also adds to the weight of the bike (~60lbs). Battery on rack makes it back heavy so you need to be a little more aware of sharp turns, momentum...

    Dear Pedego, We love you and have these suggestions for your bike development team!

    Make a full-size cruiser bike that weighs under 50lbs.

    Why is Pedego so popular?

    For me, it was the fact that, of the bikes I evaluated and culled from Court's reviews, Pedego had a local dealer and I could test ride. Pedego City Commuter was a quality bike and great service from the shop owner. Now a bit wiser, for my next bike I'm considering, I would not get a...

    Future prices of ebikes?

    What's the forum's thoughts on the effects of Trump's tariffs, considering ...from what I understand... many bike parts being manufactured in China? Or is this not a concern, maybe someone has some insight into this?

    Can't Decide Between Pedego City Commuter or Surface 604

    WMV, what bike did you decide on? I've owned the Pedego City Commuter and was mostly happy with it...quality components and features, BB7 disc brakes, nice LCD display, integrated lights etc...the disadvantage being rear-heavy with the battery placement. My replacement after its theft was the...
