An update on this thread. Sadly, my 48V10AH battery didn't get anywhere near 1,500 cycles on the battery before it no longer got me all the way to work (21 miles). I also noticed that they no longer mention the 1,500 cycles like they had been when I bought my bike in February of 2014. Here's the...

Keep in mind, if you decide to go with the homeowner's insurance route, that you won't have the AWESOME roadside assistance feature, either. You can read about my experience with it, here: http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/bicycle-insurance.62/page-2

That's for a 2014 Pedego City Commuter (hence the $2,900 in replacement coverage) with Velosurance. Check with @DAVE WILLIAMS if you have questions about your quote. He's a super-awesome guy, and I'm sure will be able to straighten out any wonkyness in the quote you got.

$336/yr for me for theft replacement/damage repair up to $2,901, plus $25K in liability, plus roadside assistance.

I've been considering putting the Marathon on my back tire, but with only two flats in 3,600 miles (I'm blessed with very clean bike lanes on most of my ride to work and back), it hasn't risen to the top of my list. Plus, I have towing included in my bike insurance package. I used that one time...

I use a competing item from http://wind-blox.com, which I have posted about in the past. I switched helmets recently to be able to install my ginormous rear view mirror (the previous helmet didn't have the slots I needed), and I quickly realized I needed to move my wind-blox over...

Cross-post about my new Safe Zone Helmet Mirror: http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/mirrors.243/#post-3674

I mentioned on May 4, 2014 that I bought a mirror similar to the Safe Zone Helmet Mirror in case I lost the Blackburn helmet mirror I already had installed. Turns out, it wasn't the Blackburn that I lost... I lost the Safe Zone knockoff. :mad: Ever since then, I've been mulling over spending...

I ended up keeping the stock leather grips on my C.C. As I got used to riding it, the grips issue ended up being less of an issue, as did the issue with grooved roads (http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/recommendations-for-grooved-roads.142/#post-7528). I'm up to 3,650 miles on...

I bought the 28" step-thru C.C. in February 2014 and love it, having put on 3,650 miles, so far. How have your first three weeks been on the bike?

@Matthew Kreger , you're right, at least as far as Velosurance is concerned. They require that you lock up your bike. They don't specify what precautions you have to take with accessories, and accessories ARE covered by the insurance. I work on a military base and so don't have the same level of...

For those who ride in cold but not crazy temps, something I found out about this week that I've already ordered are toe-warmers that slide up over the front of your shoes. I bought a pair from Amazon for $12.50. I've added Bar-Mitts to my Christmas list, but regretted it because now I need to...

And here's the last chapter in this experience. Pedego sent me a new control box when I reported my original issue. When it arrived in the mail, I promptly started pulling cables from the existing one until I got half of them disconnected and THEN realized that maybe I should have taken one...

100 members already! Nice job. I just submitted to join.

You can make it easier for cars to know how much 3' is by buying something like this: http://www.amazon.com/BestOfferBuy-Bicycle-Laser-Safety-Marker/dp/B00BLH6FR8

I forgot to mention: the LBS suggested that every 1,000 miles might be a bit overkill. We decided to wait until I hit 4,000 to do my next tune-up.

If you do the City Commuter route (I have one and LOVE it; I've done 2,200 miles on it since February), check with Pedego about getting one of their new control boxes. It gives you the ability to use the throttle while in pedal-assist mode. I mention this specifically because you mention hills...

This mirrors a suggestion that I made some time back. (I think I might have also rogered-up to help build such a thing; I apologize for dropping the ball on that, @Court.)

I second that. My main need was for an upright bike, which you, @Court, factored into your recommendation for the Pedego City Commuter, which has adjustable angles on its handlebars. My wrists aren't strong, and I work on a computer for a living, so protecting that part of my body was...

@Gnexus01, I listened to the audiobook, myself. While riding my bike, of course. ;)
