    I guess I'll have to change my Icon to a red bike.

    Teo Frame size and questions

    Hi Stephane, Yes, I mean the B measurement. I only have a 31 inch inseam measurement but I also use my ankle muscles and fully extend to 37 inches. I read once in a book on touring and racing bicycles that it was the most efficient way to ride. Racers have clip in shoes and the clips are at...

    Teo Frame size and questions

    I measured my current mountain bike today. Because I use the ball of my foot on the pedals, my measurement from seat top to pedal at full extension is 37 inches. I don't think a medium is going to work out for me, unless I get an extra long seat post, which would mean something like 13 inches...

    Yukon vs Mariner

    Hi Claudio, I ended up getting neither the Yukon nor the Mariner. I found another Canadian company called Teo Fat Bike with a great product. Apparently the bike frame is an upgrade and the bike has 15 other important upgrades, making it a better bike all around. The upgrades that sold me...

    Me too, just pulled the trigger...

    Hi Stephane, Denis, Is this the mirror you bought? https://teofatbike.com/boutique/en/pieces/miroir-p89c77/?limit=100 If so, I should order one too so it can ship in the box with the bike. For bicycles I usually have one mirror and put it on the side traffic is on the most, but perhaps I'm...

    Maybe your wife could get a white medium?

    Pulled the trigger!

    Thank you Falken! I went with the medium frame because at 63 I'm not so flexible and it should be easier to get my leg over the top bar. I set my seat way up high to get full leg extension like the road racers do so it's hard for me to get a leg over there. The brown seat and grips add a nice...

    Pulled the trigger!

    Hi, After discussions with Benoit and Stephane (Thank you both!) I ordered a white medium frame Teo, which hopefully will arrive with those beautiful brown seat and handlebar grips. I'm really looking forward to putting this bike together and riding it! This is very exciting! I live right...

    Pulled the trigger!

    Hi Falken, I'm a BC guy too. Montreal time is 3 hours ahead Vancouver Island time where I live and I'm sitting here waiting to call Benoit when he gets back from lunch. Based on what you and Stephane have said, I'm going to order one today. Thank you for your reply. Kind regards, Patrick...

    Pulled the trigger!

    I've read much of the Teo Fat Bike forum. I was recently tempted to buy a Voltbike Yukon, but the Teos look like a better bike in many ways. If you don't mind me asking, what was it that Stephane said that convinced you to go Teo? I'm still somewhat on the fence because Voltbike is just a...

    Yukon vs Mariner

    Hi, I'm going to buy an electric bicycle soon and have narrowed it down to either the Yukon 750 Ltd or the Mariner 500 Ltd. My mission for this bike is to get some exercise and get to town and back. At nearly 300 pounds and 63 years of age, it's a little too far to do the round trip on a...
