    Buying online

    We have four hub drive e bikes bought on line - 2 Espin, 1 Ride 1 up and 1 Lectric xp. All are fine. My favorite is my Espin Sport. We had mobile bike service check over and tune the first 2 bikes. They were very helpful - came to our house and did the work in their van. We have had no issues. I...

    Will There Be Batteries For Us When All The Cars Are Electric?

    I just read about a new electric three wheel vehicle built in US. Some energy comes from its solar panels - enough to go 40 miles. It plugs in. They say it charges in 15 minutes.They have three sizes of battery - with bigger battery it has good range. Price - $26k for cheapest model with...

    I think I've officially over-researched. Too many options. Too many conflicting opinions.

    They did change the Flow but it always had hydraulic brakes. 2021 versions of Sport and Flow are different than 2020. Ride1up did this too but each shipment seemed changed. Some changes due to scarcity of bike components.

    Lightweight Folding Bike for Heavy Rider Suggestions

    I saw Costco was selling the Jupiter Discovery 5x for $600. 40 lbs. Folds up small, magnet to keep it together. You can roll it when folded. Throttle and PAS. Looks like a good bike for your intended use. Extra batteries not expensive. Has a rear shock and cast wheels so you do not have to worry...

    Need bike recommendations

    Hi. Great idea. We have a Subaru also. Tricky getting a rack that was less expensive but would hold our bikes. A lot of people like the Lectric bikes especially the step thru. My daughter has one and she likes it. Tough enough for trails with the 4 inch wide tires on 20 inch wheels. 500 w...

    Petite older female need help,with choosing E-Bike.

    I do not think the batteries on the R1up 700 are difficult to remove and put back. Just release with key. Make sure the frame size will fit. Especially if you want to add a suspension seat post. R1up seems to have good customer service. The Espin Flow is also nice and the 2 inch tires are plenty...

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    There is a separate post on the manual for the display. It does have advance settings where you can change the number of PAS levels and other parameters. I think maybe Taylor posted it. The manual is not very user friendly but does match my display for my Sport purchased in Spring 2020. Your...

    Espin Nero

    Everything works fine. I think the gearing range is a little better on the Nero compared to my Spring 2020 Sport. Display is color.. We have not had much chance to ride lately due to the weather.

    Espin Nero

    No crate. Just double box like other Espin bikes. There is a hand hold on each side of the box. I would say bike is about 65 lbs. We did not weigh it.

    Shipping Lectric XP

    That is not how imported e bikes work. You order it and the bike is shipped from an Asian country. It will take a month maybe two to get to the US. If you want a bike right away go to a local bike store and pay a lot more, if the bike you want is in stock. If not in stock you will still have to...

    Shipping Lectric XP

    Delays at the ports also can delay delivery for a month or more. The port of LA has been slammed for the past 6 months or more. We ordered an Espin Nero. It was delivered 2 months late. I got it finally and it was perfect. Slowed down by busy Christmas port traffic. It is not the bike companies...

    Espin Support MIA

    Sorry your bike is having an issue. I usually get responses from Espin support within 24 hours. They may want photos or a short video of the problem.

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    Nice. I bought a cloud 9 seat for my Sport in advance of receiving my bike. I actually like the original seat so never changed it.
