    Help me choose (PLEASE) between a Aventon Pace 500, Level, Ride1Up 500, 700, LMTD

    We have a Ride 1up 500. We also have an Espin Sport. I think the Espin Sport is a better bike and a better deal. Same weight, about 55 lb but the Sport weight includes the standard rear rack, front and rear fenders and lights while none of that is included with the 500. They have similar...

    Help choosing first Ebike!

    This looks like the hill between my neighborhood and the main bike path. Steep but not long. Our 500 watt befang motors on our hub motor cadence sensing bikes have no problems with our hill. We have a Ride1 up 500 and a Espin Sport (500 w/ 750w peak).

    GoPowerBike GoCity Review + Test Ride

    There are a lot of differences between the 2019 model ebr reviewed and the 2020 model for 2020. Motors seem different as 2020 they say goes only to 18, versus 20 mph for the 2019 Sondra (sp ?) motor. The 2019 model had fat 4 inch tires while the 2020 has narrower tires without reflective strip...

    Cyclists’ Accident

    Not getting into politics but, in response to the insurance question, there are some comparative negligence states where if you are determined to have negligently contributed to the accident to any degree, even if it was mostly the other person`s fault they can try to make you pay something...

    Espin Nero

    Each piece is one half of the wheel reflector. It goes across ( horizontally) the spokes and then the 2 pieces are screwed together. I think we only have one for the front wheel.

    Espin Nero

    Espin sent us a video on how to mount reflectors. Too bad the video does not work.

    Espin Nero

    We assembled ours and made the same mistake with the front light as there were no directions on how to assemble. Espin responded telling us the arrow goes on the bottom, not top. Like you we moved our headlight to the front rack so the rack would not hit the light. Works ok now. It is bigger and...

    Lectric XP for a child?

    In my state, MD you have to be 16 to ride a class 3 bike. If you limit the top speed and disable the throttle it might be ok. But Lectric xp is a very heavy bike. We have one my 21 year old daughter rides. How about you ride slower so he can catch up with his current bike, even ride without any...

    My husband and I assembled his Nero. It was not difficult. Just had to install handlebars, pedals, front tire, front fender, front rack and front light. The saddle was already installed. It is big with the 26 x 4" tires. 70 lbs. Looks good. Only issue was front light is not working. I e-mailed...

    You can adjust amount of power it gets. I do not know if it will change speed. Perhaps. That is what I did with my son's bike.

    Espin Nero

    Yea ! Our Nero was delivered today, one day earlier than tracking. Big unmarked truck. Big heavy box. My husband and son brought it into the house. They did not call before delivery. We have not unpacked it yet but the box was undamaged.
