    He will definitely be missed. I learned a lot from his posts.

    REAL bargains

    The best ebike bargain for me has to be the first generation Bosch Nyon display/computer I bought on eBay in October of 2019 for $75 as an upgrade for the standard Intuvia display that came on my Gazelle Arroyo. Back in 2018/2019, after Bosch had replaced the original 1 GB version of the Nyon...

    My ETrike, Heart, Dog, Me, And Community

    Years ago my wife bought a new metallic red Miami Sun trike with a 3 speed hub. It was a beautiful well-made trike, but it was kind of a beast to ride, especially on hills. I didn't know anything about electrifying bikes or trikes back then, and she couldn't keep up with those of us on 2...

    Countersteering

    The counter steering explains why if you ride too close to the edge of a sidewalk or paved trail and try to turn back toward the center of the path, you almost always run off the edge you are trying to turn away from.

    Sena Helmet Battery Self Discharge

    I have 5 Sena R1 Evo helmets and have not experienced battery drain, although to be honest, I might not know because I generally charge them before every ride. The only time I have experienced the feedback squeal is when two helmets with intercom turned on are placed fairly close together...

    Current etrike offerings and buying tips

    My wife has a Evelo Compass etrike and is very happy with it. It is an easy to mount upright three wheeler, mid drive motor with a differential so both rear wheels can get traction when needed, throttle and pedal assist, 3 speed Shimano IGH, mechanical disk brakes with brake locks to make for...

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    Well, the verdict from Gazelle is in. They declined the claim my LBS opened to cover the battery rack failure under their 10 year frame warranty, The regular warranty on my 2017 Arroyo is expired, and unlike the previous poster in this thread, they would not cover it with the longer frame...

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    I am going to resurrect this old thread. As mentioned in my earlier post, I was able to make a repair that has worked very well (probably stronger and more stable than a new rack), so I have not pursued a warranty claim with Gazelle for the battery rack failure. But I took my bike into my LBS...

    eBike Connect Wrong Altitude

    Interesting .... I am familiar with Garmin automotive and handheld devices, but not with the Edge cycling devices or the Garmin Connect app. I found this Garmin knowledge base about elevation which I found interesting. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=dRY70Lc6yv2oY3eam1ZWxA#:~:text=The...

    eBike Connect Wrong Altitude

    I have observed the same thing using my gen. 1 Nyon and a Garmin Oregon 500. And if you take a long ride in changing weather conditions (barometic pressure changes) the elevation and elevation changes will be skewed even if you correctly calibrated the elevation at the beginning of your ride. I...

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Many variables affect range besides the battery capacity ... wind, assist level, elevation changes, road/trail surface. I can get 65 to 80 miles on my Gazelle Arroyo with the 500 battery using Eco mode on a relatively flat paved trail and mild or no wind.

    Evelo Owners, what do you do when..........

    I have never been too concerned that Evelo will help me while the product is still under warranty. My worry is what happens when it needs out-of-warranty repair/service.

    Anybody own an Evelo Omega and near the KC area?

    I hope someone in your area comes forward and gives you an opportunity to test ride the Omega. Of course, your other option is just to take a chance on the Omega and rely on Evelo's warranty and return policy if you are unhappy with your purchase. If you do decide to proceed with the purchase...

    Metric/Imperial Centuries? Poll, and your experience.

    I wish I could, but age/health/arthritis pain make it unlikely. About 30 miles is my usual limit, but maybe I could accomplish 50 with a couple of Aleve's :). On my Gazelle Arroyo, under ideal conditions, I could probably get about 70 miles with constant ECO assist, but my achy joints would...

    Evelo Owners, what do you do when..........

    I have purchased several bikes from my LBS including 2 ebikes. When my wife needed to switch to a trike in 2018 because of health problems the Evelo Compass was my first choice after doing extensive research. I checked with what my LBS carried, but they really didn't measure up to the Compass...

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    As a side note to this thread ... I am not a fan of music videos. I don't mind the videos that actually show the artists performing the piece, but I find most videos distracting. I usually just turn away or close my eyes to get the maximum enjoyment of listening. I guess it is an age thing. I am...
