    New here from Connecticut USA

    Welcome! Nice bike! Let me know how the camera and screen work please, as I've contemplated doing something similar... Riding my bike is just about the ONLY thing I do that DOESN'T make my knees ache 🤣!

    First e bike Step Thru Tall person

    People have reasons for wanting the bikes they do 😉. Hope he gets a chance to test ride soon, and that he finds the right fit for his needs! REI did some work on my Flow, and they were great! I paid them up front, then sent Espin a screen shot of my bill and they reimbursed me within 24 hours...

    Need help and thoughts on Sena two way communication while riding

    My only thought/question would be, can you hear everything you need to if you're playing music in your helmet?

    Thanks so much! I think the problem (aside from asthma, age and reactive lungs) is, I got the dang thing twice in a little over 3 months. I'm sure it would have been much worse without being vaccinated. I didn't get very sick, but slow recovering my energy. I'm getting there, though! Glad you...

    Any bike shops in Los Angeles/SFV area that will service/maintain a Ride 1up LMTD?

    REI will work on almost any ebike, and, their prices are very reasonable. You can pick up a brochure at the store that lists all their services and prices, or look online.

    That's why, when we travel, we never go on a vacation; we go on an adventure. Looking at it that way is a much better mindset, because not much that happens can run the experience .. It's all part of the adventure 😉.

    First grocery run (plus a few extra miles) with the La Free since returning home and almost immediately coming down with COVID, almost 4 weeks ago! We were fenced in on the Seaplane Base... Going to be TONS of blackberries in a few weeks 😁! Only a couple of miles longer than my previous...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    The are always a few factory directs that aren't junk... I've had my Espin a couple of years now, and except for a loose spoke and a brake bleed (which they quickly reimbursed me for having REI take care of), it's been a great bike. I consider myself a regular rider, when I'm well, though not...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    FWIW, you can "switch" between Class 1 and Class 2 riding by just not using, or disconnecting (plug and play on most bikes, I think) the throttle 😉. Not sure how you would switch between Class 1 and 3, since, if the motor CAN go 28mph, it's automatically Class 3, whether you ARE going that fast...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    What kind of riding will you be mostly doing? Paved surfaces? MTB dirt trails? Commuting? Match the bike to your prevalent riding style/conditions. Fatter tires don't necessarily give a nicer ride...
