    Step over or step through for men?

    I ride both types; and like them both. The step-thru is definitely easier to mount, but the frame on mine is not as rigid as the step-over. What is more important is the distance from the top bar of the step-over to the ground. If you have to come off the seat at a stop there is a strong...

    My buddy crashed yesterday

    What we need to adjust to quickly when riding a new ebike is the weight difference between a bike and an ebike. If you don't make that adjustment quickly you can easily fall off the bike when standing still or coming to a stop. I had to learn the hard way when I first got the bike, but...

    Aurora Fully Loaded on order

    You must have been pumping pretty hard. At that rate you would get about 275 miles on a charge. o_O

    New York State ebike legislation

    Read the bill, Governor. There are many reasons why I don't like that man. Now, if he vetoes this bill I can add it to the list. :mad:

    New York State ebike legislation

    Same here. Over 5000 miles and have never been bothered. Not enough incidents for the police to waste their time on ebike enforcement.

    MA's DCR set to ban "pedal assist ebikes" from ALL state park/forest "natural surface" trails

    I guess these folks can't differentiate between a dirt bike and an ebike. I hope the feeling doesn't become contagious. :rolleyes:

    Congrats to Court on the WUSA9 coverage!

    Court has definitely carved a niche in the ebike industry, to the benefit of all of us. Hey Court, if you're viewing this, a big THANK YOU! :D

    Aurora Fully Loaded on order

    I'm a bit surprised that they left out the assembly instructions, but you got by that quickly. FYI, if you find issues that are not covered in the manual, email them and they will send you links to videos that are not readily available on the website. That's how it was a couple years ago and I...

    Aurora Fully Loaded on order

    Should be a fairly straightforward assembly. I'll be following along. :)

    New Jersey passes low-speed electric bicycle law

    Doesn’t matter how hard you pedal. If you are riding a defined ebike faster than 20mph you are technically in violation. The police won’t be hiding behind billboards waiting for you but if someone customizes one to do 50, or if a speeder runs over someone, they can issue a summons and impound...

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Thanks, David. I do check to make sure they are tight, and would not be comfortable without both of them.

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Mine are very similar to this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bicycle-Bike-Handlebar-Fork-Stem-Riser-Extender-Head-Up-Adjustable-Adapter-Black/142911899653?epid=17022866208&hash=item2146368805:g:I04AAOSwwpZbehnC&frcectupt=true Easy installation. I used two. One on top of the other.

    New Evelo Models

    The Aurora mid-drive is available with the NuVinci. I'm sorry to see that the Galaxy TT is no longer listed on their site. The step-thru ST is the only 26" Galaxy now. :confused:

    Which e bike conversion kit and battery?

    I retrofitted my Mongoose with a 500w 8fun (Bafang) front hub kit, which is great for hard surfaces and easier to install than the others. Comes with a choice of either of two batteries for either down tube or rack mount. The kit is complete and just a bit more for a thumb throttle...

    IZIP VIBE plus Step Thru review

    My wife has a 2016 model. In 2017 we had the TransX motor replaced with the 2017 motor under warranty. In 2018 we had the battery replaced, also under warranty. It has been fine since. The 350w motor really pulls well on hills and it has a handy push-button thumb throttle. She loves the bike...

    Mid-drives with throttle/trigger?

    Check out the iZip Loma step-thru. Max speed is 20mph, but it is a mid-drive with a thumb throttle. https://www.izipelectric.com/cruising/e3-loma-step-thru.html

    Start up Page

    I just tried your link and it worked without issue. Maybe a setting in your browser is blocking it, though I wouldn't know where it might be.

    Riding your Evelo in the Rain

    Perhaps you can just attach the loop to the frame with a zip tie in a place where the cover will reach the port.

    Pedego Thumb Throttle experience

    If it gets in your way, try rotating it slightly to find a better position. I've been using the 1859 thumb throttle attachment over my twist throttle for a few months now. It makes it much easier to use the throttle rather than grabbing it with my entire hand and twisting the wrist, and it's not...
