This excellent review strikes me as being strong on both veracity and fairness. I have an acquaintance who purchased an ebike from the same company. Difference was that he purchased the RadMini. Near the same experience with the onset of early and multiple flats and frustration with getting to...

Google is tremendous for honing in on just what you want to research, and even better if one avails oneself of the tools Google provides to narrow one's search. My personal experience is that Slime and similar tire additives are somewhat helpful at plugging up small punctures, but at least with...

Thanks! I run the 700c on my Yamaha and they have indeed been near indestructible. Wish I had kept a diary on how many years I have had this set on the bike. But it has been years and there will likely be some failure, dry rot, or something soon. They have outlived my highest expectations...

Stunningly good looking bike. If I was shopping for a new ebike, without a doubt the Delta would be one of the top candidates I would consider. When Court reviewed this bike a few months back, one of the few potential 'cons' he brought up was that the cadence sensing can feel quite abrupt. Is...

Thanks for sharing in that excellent post, Michael. You were careful to give lots of credit to the bike, but I rather imagine most riders would not attain that kind of mileage in the same circumstances. Being fit and thinking about how best to stretch the available current in your battery were...

I look forward to hearing about what you ultimately decide on. The Micargi Cyclone is a strikingly good looking bike. Retro bike styling pulled off beautifully. And the battery placement is particularly excellent, being so ultra low on the frame. Some retro bikes opt to put the battery in the...

It does have that retro motorbike look. I did a bit of digging on it and it certainly has a premium Panasonic 48 volt 11.6 amp hour battery pack. That, paired with the 500 watt Bafang hub motor seems pretty good. But it is listed at 83 pounds and that seems about right just looking at how...

Precisely!! My impression was the same as yours when I read those four words. A few points for their quick reply, but not the type of reply a potential customer wants to hear. Like you wrote, if they believe in their products, why would not they welcome the critical assessment of a widely...

FWIW, I sent an inquiry to them via Ebay asking if they had ever looked into the possibility of getting one or more of their models reviewed by EBR. I got a very quick reply: No thanks, we good.

Seems like a great location...in your line of sight, being so close to the primary Tekoa display. Even though the Tekoa's 350 watts trumps the very old version Yamaha's 250 watts, they climb very near the same on very steep hills and in first gear. On the steepest hill I encounter on a daily...

Great input and real world observations, especially helpful to me and other Tekoa owners. I have less than 100 miles on my new Tekoa, but that is enough to know and understand what you write about the motor. My main ride for eight years was the Yamaha Super Easy. It employs the Yamaha 250...

LOL! I want to believe what you say about red is true since I really love my recently purchased old new stock red Tekoa. It looks like a twin sister to yours except for the neat chain ring mod. That is an extremely impressive average speed for that distance. So do tell how that mod factors...

This company may move a lot of their products via their website. Who knows? But I have also seen quite a number of their listings on Ebay over a considerable number of months. The feedback that buyers of their ebikes have deposited in the seller's profile seems mostly positive, with most...

I like my Travoy too, but that was a definite design flaw that you referenced with the Travoy wheels rubbing against cargo. Burley provided a fix for the issue, but did not offer it at even a slight discount to owners who had purchased the flawed Travoy. Responsible companies will usually say...
