Have you looked at the Motiv Shadow?

@Larry, can I still take you up on that offer too? I also will only be around for the same weekend. We can race for pinks :D

good luck and fingers cross that you get what you want.

Hey Jab, You might want to look into the Motiv Shadow (http://www.motivelectricbikes.com). Being 5'7, the bike will be a perfect fit for you. The bike will allow you to add a rack or a basket for your commute plus, their batteries have a higher capacity so that you can travel longer distances...

@Vern we can carpool!

Jealous much? I asked you if you wanted to ride a couple weeks ago, remember?

@Vern - I'll start PMing you, I dont think people want to read this.

Wanna plan it for this Saturday afternoon? I'll bring a rope and you can tow me :D

@Vern , really? Let's go ride sometime! Whiting Ranch, Laguna Wilderness Park, Santiago Oaks I live in Huntington Beach.

Larry - All solid points, I should of clarified, "ripping the trail apart" it's just slang that we use for riding trails. I don't believe that an electric mtn bike will do more/less damage then a traditional mt bike on a trail, it's up to the rider's responsibility. What I do know is that...

Hey Dave, Thanks for the post and I am curious where do you live?

The bottom line is, use your head and ride the safest way you can for the the situation you are in. If you are weaving in and out of foot traffic doing 20mph on a boardwalk or sidewalk, well you deserve a ticket. If you do not draw attention to yourself you will most likely be fine. I have...

Motiv Electric Bikes for the win!!!! www.motivelectricbikes.com

That's not a dumb question at all. There is a CVT system that you can install on a bike, the NuVinci system. For me it's too expensive and heavy but I guess if it's electric it doesn't matter.

When I ride it's all about anticipation. What obstacles are coming my way and what gear I should be in for that obstacle. If you know you are coming up to a steep hill make sure you shift before the hill, you never want to shift while being under a big load (mashing the pedals). Also, if you...

i have heard the same too

I am curious about the sizing for someone that is 5'7 on that bike.

thanks for your input.

Well, I am glad you are having fun with it, because that's what it is all about!! What do you think about the Townie Go and what are you leading towards?
