    Direct to Consumer Bicycle Service Alternatives to LBS

    I've always believed in the efficiency of business. I think Direct to Consumer bike sales are the future. Most bicycle manufacturers are doing it. One of the issues with buying bicycles Direct to Consumer model is that some bicycle shops won't work on bicycles brands that they don't carry. This...

    Why am I looking at ebikes again?

    I ride scooters also. My scooters are my motorized transportation. I've owned Piaggios and Japanese built scooters. You're right you have to wait for parts for the Piaggio while Japanese, and Taiwanese Scooters have a 7 day parts turn around. I mainly ride my Blix Aveny to work 3-4 times a week...

    Sonders announced mid drive ebikes

    Saw this on the web yesterday. I don't think Sonders could build this bike with cheap components. What are your thoughts? https://electrek.co/2020/06/23/sondors-rockstar-cruiser-lx-bafang-ultra-electric-bike/

    Juiced Scorpion and HyperScorpion

    Thank You! I do understand that it takes a while. I like the moped form factor as I used to ride mopeds back in the late 70s and early 80s. I kind of came to the realization that gas tanks and batteries are in the same places. The juxtaposition of power has done a complete 180 though. I have...

    Electric bike

    Would you be open to a folding bike. Enclosed is a link. I live on the 3rd Floor of my apartment building. I commute 3-4 times a week. I lock my bike outside but bring my stuff and battery inside my place. On weekends, I take out the battery and roll the bike up the stairs. I have enclosed a...

    EBR reviews barely mention reliability/repairability

    Ebikes and bicycles in general are throw away commodities. Yamaha is the only ebike manufacturer that has a long time service and reliability plan. Yamaha has been building ebikes since 1989. Court does have dislikes and likes. Court also points out component market segments as it relates to...

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    I own both a mid drive and a Class 2 bike. I like the Class 2 bike. If you don't have much hill climbing all you need is a hub motor ebike. The most important things when selecting a bicycle are fit, purpose, and satisfaction.

    Blix Aveny - more power, more range, more features... same price

    I've ridden the bike 300 mile to and from work this spring and really enjoy this bike. Unfortunately, my local bicycle shop is no longer bringing in this brand. I love this bike more than my Raleigh. This bike is smoother, faster and has the rack and lights that I need to commute with. My next...

    E-bike long term strategy

    I think that the Corvid-19 is causing a shift in bicycle industry. My local bike shop has closed. I read a few days ago and saw from Trek that they're selling bikes directly to customers. This shift is inevitable and I think permanent change. Bike shops will be more like parts, accessories and...
