    Dash, thinking about weight and my entry level fork.

    glad those marathon racers are working out. I'm not sure why all the ebikes have these oversized tires (even the strictly road oriented ebikes I tried had big tires).

    Dash - Alternate rear rack.

    Since you like spend time tucked, take a look at the jones loop hbar (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I think that may be an upgrade I do at the end of the season.... It has a position to get forward and narrow for better aero, but you should be able to keep all the existing mtb brake and...

    Dash - Alternate rear rack.

    may just be that rack design-- without a second vertical stay, it's not going to be as stiff. I don't have another battery on my rack, but my panniers often have 10-15+lbs and there's been no issue at speed (and this is with a rear wheel that I know needs truing up, I hope to take care of that...

    Izip Dash Coasting Question

    double check the brakes. My shop didn't set them up right and both were dragging when I got the bike, plus the rear rotor was out of true. The rear wheel does not spin as freely as the regular front wheel when on a repair stand (the motor must drag a little), but it's not noticeable to me when...

    Dash e3, just bought and had a few questions

    You should get 25miles on PAS1 w/ pedaling. I'm 175, but commute loaded w/ rack, fenders panniers laptop, lunch, change of clothes, etc and I've been able to do 20 miles on PAS1 with 3 or 4 bars left. My dealer threw in an extra charger so I leave one at work. I'm pedaling the whole time, and...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    That's a bummer about the bottom bracket... it's frustrating when the bike shop is not setting things up correctly (or checking them if they get the built bikes delivered). On my Dash, there's some loose spokes but the rear wheel really needs truing. Disk rotors and pad clearance were also not...

    Dash, thinking about weight and my entry level fork.

    tires would be an easy win for weight, i hadn't looked it up but was guessing those 700x45 CSTs were going to be pretty heavy. Take a look at Schwalbe's Marathon Racers, those are another pound lighter than the Plus' if you don't need the heavy duty flat resistance, but still a tough tire. I've...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    Ok, I took a look at the bike this morning and got everything squared away. Bike shop called me back too which was good, though I had kind of identified the problems by then. I ran through all the diagnostics, everything looked good except the brake cut-off sensor, which was reading 001...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    Thanks for the all suggestions guys... I didn't see these before I headed out for home, but will give it a shot tomorrow. I managed to nurse it back averaging around 13 mph. I had given the bike shop a call this afternoon, they weren't super helpful --- they guy that knew about the...

    New Dash, some problems (update: fixed after brake lever adjustment)

    I got a Dash last weekend for a 40mi round trip commute (one that I can do occasionally on my road bike, but can't really manage to do multiple times per week). The first two days were awesome (half my commute is clear pavement before I get to the city so the extra speed helps). The bike...
