    Hello from Italy!

    Hello and Welcome What is it like to ebike in Italy? Could you post some pics of bike lanes and bike infrastructure in Italy? I am always fascinated with how much more advanced Europe is when it comes to bikes.

    Quick-E+

    I found one. Giant started carrying the piece. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/mik-compatible-rear-deck-2019 I ordered one and it lines up perfectly with the attachment points already there. They just started carrying them for the 2019 models.

    Help please with choosing a bike for rail trail commute

    I almost bought the Trek Super Commuter, but then I went with the Giant Quick E +. Side by side comparison they are virtually the same, but the Giant was two grand cheaper. The 2019 model has the bigger tires now and is $115.00 less. Check it out...

    Tell Us About Your Commute.

    Another pic from my new morning commute to work. About an hour after sunrise, a gentle fog just above the water. Taking the river bike path adds 3.5 mile to my commute, but it is a small price to pay for the additional safety and zen feeling I get. I have seen magpies, blue herons, barn...

    Buying the first bike

    I encountered the same conundrum. I want to be an informed buyer, but the amount of info is paralyzing. I don't know what the weather is like in your area, but don't miss out on anymore riding weather. EBR has a comparison tool on the home page. It is a tab at the top. Plug in your three...

    2017 Elite with Big Ben tires: Tuffy or Slime needed?

    I use Tuffy's liners and Slime and Sunlite thorn resistant tubes and Big Ben tires with Race Guard. I commute to work and so I take all the precautions I can. Some will say its overkill, but it's not their bike, their commute or their job. I have heard/read numerous folks talk about how...

    Should I wait to buy my 1st e-bike?

    There are cheaper bikes out there that might fit the bill. Some even have dealer support and warranty support. Check out Giant. This model is similar to the Ridgerider. it's $1200 cheaper, 20 MPH assist and no throttle. I have been very happy with my Giant.

    Tell Us About Your Commute.

    First day taking the bike path. It is a beautiful ride. It follows the Great Miami River into Hamilton Ohio where I work. It was a really Zen experience getting to work without the hassles of traffic for the last 5 miles of my commute. Check out the pic of the bridge. It has to be one of...

    FastRoad E+

    I think Giant calls your FastRoad an Explore in the US. Very solid, stable bike. I rented and rode an Explore for a few hours and it feels very solid.

    30 miles commute, confused between hub vs mid-drive

    Giant has a new Quick E + for 2019. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes/e-bike/transit It has larger tires and the rack can be upgraded to a MIK system with a $30.00 flat top shelf piece. At 3 grand it is a lot of Ebike. I am very happy with my 2018 model. The mid-drive has a little...

    I agree wholeheartedly. Riding through that lightning storm a few weeks back really unnerved me. I'll just have to get over it.

    Tell Us About Your Commute.

    So I decided to drive today because 90% chance of thunderstorms was forecast. While I was cruising along, I saw this guy. I pulled over and waved. He stopped and we talked a little bit. He has been commuting for about a year. He has the exact same bike as I do. People are making the...
