    New "minimalist" helmet for a new biker?

    I will have to superimpose either an M-16 or an M-1 on this photo and give it to my dad on his birthday!

    New "minimalist" helmet for a new biker?

    Yeah, this is the first time I have seen him without a helmet on. He may or may not always wear a helmet when he rides but his videos general show him advocating helmets.

    Let's compile some good ideas to control cables and wires on folding bikes!

    A few folding bikes have an issue with the containment of wires and cables in front of the long vertical tube/bar at the front end. Perhaps one day the whole world will be wireless. In the meantime, has anyone had any luck containing them? If so, I am very sure that many new owners would like...

    At this point, I had better not talk about it further. I hope they will solve it and I believe they will. Like anything else, you move onto the next option when the first one doesn't work out.

    Yes, I contacted them right way. For now, I can only say that if this were to turn out bad for me, I would be the only one to say anything negative about this bike apart from one shop in Austin, TX. Everyone else loves this bike and I am hoping that I ultimately will own one that I am happy...

    The hill climbing is alright, especially with the throttle and pedalling. I received my bike two days ago and there are some issues with the pedal assist. I believe that E-Joe will solve the issues and I am giving them the chance to. I must admit that I have never been one to have luck on my...

    I see that you carry this chain. In most case scenarios, would you say that this is worth the buy, even though it might go a bit quicker to a pro thief than the actual NY lock or an Abus? I have read a few good things about it but I never know who is sponsored or not when it comes to reviews...

    If our admin, @Court doesn't mind, I would like to post a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/EJoeEpikRiders/ This is a place on Facebook for Epik riders to discuss this bike, posts lots of shameless photos, and discuss this bike specifically. Please request an add to this page...

    Good rear rack panniers/pack for folding bike?

    I can't get anything Abus without layaway! Thanks for the note. Looks like I might be riding by the weekend!

    PS - You are spot on about Court. Without his review page, I wouldn't have known how many more options there were for me. He basically chose my new bike for me. (Even though it hasn't arrived yet!)

    Currie Technologies Warranty/Service

    Even though I did not ultimately go with a Currie, I once used the "chat" feature on their website with a customer service representative. He would have answered my questions in more than sufficient detail all day long. If it wasn't for a bad/inaccurate Amazon description, I wouldn't have had...

    Good rear rack panniers/pack for folding bike?

    Thanks! Currently deciding on locks. I am leaning towards the OnGuard Mastiff chain. Do you sell lots of chains and ULocks at your shop? I realize you are traveling. Reply whenever!

    How do you like to secure your folding bike? (No diamond/triangle!)

    I am looking at some Kryptonite U-Locks with double deadbolts. However, I am also looking at a six-foot chain. I was imagining... just imagining... the possibility of running a heavy-duty chain from the front wheel, through the small amount of frame opening, real wheel, seat hoop, and locking...

    Good rear rack panniers/pack for folding bike?

    Thank you, Chris! I just placed this order now. I added a note with it referring to our conversation about the upgrades and that you had one at E-Joe. That would be sweet if if shipped out today and I saw it before the weekend! Either way, I am glad I got my hands one one, especially fully...

    Good rear rack panniers/pack for folding bike?

    By the way, I know about the lights because I saw a picture somewhere in an August magazine clip and because of the following that the VP of E-Joe said in another post to another customer. Someone was criticizing the small/weak light and the VP confirmed that it had been upgraded. "I'm...

    Why do people use ebikes? Infographic!

    I am a teacher and I have transferred to a new campus which happens to be three miles from my home! I am in South Texas where it is still a hundred degrees on the first day of school. For the sake of practical transportation and exercise, I plan to throttle it to school and pedal it home on my...

    I have to have the rack and whatever their new lights have. I know at least one of the lights is integrated into the system. If it wasn't, I would just get a set on Amazon. Let me know what you think!

    After all of the research I have been doing and all of the communicating with E-Joe, I feel that I had better force myself to get the best. Some might not think that the E-Joe Epik SE is the best but it seems to me that it is a good choice and I want to make sure I get the must updated one...

    I was all set up to order from your site right after that. I had filled in all the info and I even found the 5 percent coupon code but then it dawned on me that you might not have the most upgraded one ready to go.

    Well E-Joe was going to sell me a refurb SE pending an inspection. It turns out it was beaten pretty badly during shipping. They even sent photos to me.
