Thanks for the input guys. It is very tempting, as I can get the Carbon for about $2100 shipped. That makes it even less expensive then the Dash, although much of what the Carbon offers, I may not really need. Hydraulic brakes vs plain disc and 30 gears vs 9 may not really make a big difference...

I was confused as to the exact operation of the Simbb 29C operation as it pertains to pedal input from the rider. It does not have pedal assist as I have come to understand the term, however, it seems to offer a variation called " hybrid ".. Below is an email explaining rider input for those...

Yes, that's what I thought on the speed resrtiction. Good to know about the suspension on the 2013 model. I will be sure to confirm the year on the Carbon I am thinking about. Thanks, again.

Thanks Ravi, I googled all sorts of ways and didn't come up with that one. Interesting that his Carbon didn't have a throttle, and was limited to such a low pedal assist speed. Also I see his bike had no suspension fork, I think the specs do list one. All of my riding is on pavement so this may...

I came across a very good deal on a Neo Carbon, almost half price, new. I have been leaning towards the E3 Dash, but always loved the look of the Easy Motion bikes. Courts' review on the Carbon seemed just O.K., but not as positive as some of the other EM bikes. I did notice at one point in the...

I think the pre-order special on the Dash is a vendor specific offer. It is through Long Island Electric Bikes. I have not seen it offered on Currie's website. Court, I think you are correct about the Dash, and the throttle not working in tandem with pedal assist. If the torque sensing is quick...

Eddie, good for you. Glad you found one at a good price. I intend to get one as soon as I decide on an Ebike. I need all the comfort I can get, and I think the saddle/seatpost is one of the first places to start.

Justin, Very good question. I am very close to your size and I have a 20" mountain bike with 26" wheels. Although the bike is very comfortable, I am not sure what the best size to order, as far as the Dash goes. The Dash has those big 700/45c wheels, and with a 19" inch frame, it may be too much...

Looks like the company will sell it direct http://www.canecreek.com/seatposts/. The only reviews I can find is on the LT version which has about twice the travel of the ST version. Here is a good user review on the LT Thudbuster...

I was all set to ask you how much of a delay the Dash had, before the motor kicked in. One of my main concerns because I have a lot of busy intersections, with stop signs, where I will be riding. I won't be able to demo the Dash, nearest dealer is 6 hours away here in the Northeast, so posts...

Can anyone comment on the real world difference between the LT ( long through ) and ST ( short through ) versions of the Thudbuster? Court, I believe you had one on the City Commuter, wondering which one it might have been? I read the description of both versions on their website, but was...

Ralph, Thanks for getting back. It really helps to know how the Dash & Peak compare from someone who rode both back to back, so to speak. I had a feeling the Dash might win out as an urban type bike, and it's nice to know you agree with Court on how well the drive system performs.

Hi Eddie, Thanks for your very informative posts. One question, do you think a 26x2.35 tire would fit on the Neo Xtreme? I think it comes with a 26x2.20 tire, and I was not sure if the larger tire would fit between the forks, without rubbing. Thanks much.

Ralph, congrats on the Dash! It is high on my list and from what you said, Court, was right on with his review. I would be interested to know what you thought of the Peak, especially compared to the Dash. Did you notice a difference in how well the drive kicked in and out, when comparing the two...

I contacted Curry, about issues at Interbike with the Peak. Below is the response I received. Interesting that the bike appears some what programable.

Court, the E3 Peak does look very interesting, and it is great that it goes above 20mph in the pedal assist mode. After I read your review, I was concerned about the lack of smoothness, so I did a little research. I was told that the demo bikes at Interbike had beta software, and the production...

Court, I think you hit just about all the bases with that list! The only things I would add are: Pedal assist speed at least 25mph, preferably greater, like Easy Motion, Izip, Motiv, Stromer, et.al. Remote buttons for working computer, like Izip Dash and many others. Quick release rear wheel...

The other problem I see with the Bosh drive is their 20mph limitation. Even though they are pedal assist, my understanding, at least with Haibike, is a 20mph motor cut out. There is a product out that is an add on, that allows this limitation to be removed, but it is third party and would...

From what I've read it is a big bike, and someone 5'7 may be a little uncomfortable getting started. This info comes from a review done by a purchaser over on the endless-sphere site. Fotunately, in this case, I am about 6', so it would probably work for me. It is more a question of style, and...

Thanks Ravi, I actually did find that a while ago and read through the entire posts. There were also some posts on the Shadow as well, same website. Both bikes seem to have a lot of positives, and are similar in power and performance. I think I need to decide what features are most important to...
