Another way to tell if the R1 Evo is the original release or the newer one without the FM and voice commands is to check whether its charging cable is a micro USB connector or a USB C. The original R1 Evo used a micro USB cable while the new release uses a USB C cable

Yikes, I am WAYYYY on the other end of the Baby Boomers .... 1947! In 1963 I was a sophomore in HS! I'm feeling older every day and know I am in the "bubble" ... next generation to go, but thankful to still be happily riding my Gazelle whenever I can! :)

I grew up on an Iowa farm that had a double corn crib with an alleyway. Many cribs of this style (including ours) had a head house on the center of the roof that contained the mechanics for a vertical shaft elevator. There was hole in the floor at the center of the alleyway that served as a...

Filtered water during the ride, then this as a reward after the ride

Yup, sounds like fun, AND no GPS navigation required ;)

I am surprised that those pedal cars are allowed on a track with active train service. They must have some type of monitoring and tracking system in place to assure safety.

I sometimes fall into the trap of overthinking things and avoiding a decision. Not saying you are doing that, but sometimes you just plain like something better than another thing in spite of trying to objectively weigh all the facts. Whatever you decide, just enjoy it and don't try to second...

This article appeared in our local newspaper, "The Cedar Rapids Gazette" today (7/22/22). The Cedar Valley Nature Trail is part of the designated route for the Great American Rail Trail. It is good news for those of us locals who ride this trail frequently. $3.5M GRANT to finish Cedar Valley...

I bought an Evelo Compass etrike for my wife about 3 years ago (purchased online). Evelo contracted with my local LBS to receive, assemble and set it up. The LBS even gave my wife a brief test ride and tutorial on using the controls when we picked it up. I think while under warranty, Evelo will...

I think something like tung oil mixed into the oil based stain would be a better option than motor oil. I have treated outdoor wood furniture with an annual coat of pure tung oil (hand rubbed). it lasted for years. Pure tung oil takes months to fully cure, but when mixed with solvents it dries...

I still love my Bosch powered Gazelle Arroyo, but if I was ready for a new ebike, the Omega would be my first choice. My wife rides an Evelo Compass trike and the Evelo company has been great to work with.

After all your experience riding Bosch powered ebikes with no throttle, I would be interested to hear how often and in what circumstances you use the throttle on the Omega.

Welcome to the forum from another Iowan (east central).

Glad to hear your Gazelle Arroyo is back in service. Happy riding!

I carry an etrike and two ebikes in my Ford Ranger truck bed using a two piece rack I made with 1x4's and 1x2's. It is a tight fit, but with a couple of cinch straps to keep them from bouncing around, they ride very secure. This thread contains a few pictures taken at the time I was working on...

Well, I am a male (both biologically and by identity:)) so I hope you don't object to me posting. My wife was the first in our family to buy an ebike in 2017. She selected the 2017 Blix Aveny. She picked a color they called "Racing Green" rather than the cream color shown in this picture. It...

Thanks Stephen for replying and letting us know the status. AWOL = absent without leave, a term usually used when a member of the military abandons his/her post or fails to return from a leave. I look forward to seeing future posts from the Bosch Team as time permits.

RAGBRAI 2022 commences on July 24 in Sergeant Bluff, IA and ends on July 30 at Lansing, IA ... 462 miles. (https://ragbrai.com/). Even if I had a way to keep a full charge on my ebike and didn't drink ANY beer (unlikely), it is way more than I am capable of doing.

I wonder if Bosch has prohibited them from participating. I know some other companies have policies that prohibit employees from participating in forums or acknowledging that they are company employees if they do.

I really appreciated the participation by the Bosch team on this forum. I hope they haven't all abandoned us.
