    New Owner of the Copperhead EVO HD 750 Diamond

    @kuyawil How is your Bulls Evo treating you? Which EVO 750 did you buy (1, 1.5, 2, 3 or 4)? I am looking hard at Bulls right now. I test rode one last week with the Bosch Smart System & liked it A LOT. Would like to hear about your thoughts on it a good 6-7 months on & to hear which model you...

    Specialized Vado 4 or Ride1Up Prodigy V2

    Take a look at the Evelo Omega. To me, it's a better version of the Priority Current with great customer service & LONG warranty (4 yr, 20,000 miles).

    Trek Marlin+ 6 Vs Aventon Ramblas?

    Look at some of the YouTube reviews of both. The Ramblas has some nice reviews from actual mountain bikers. You can watch how both ride on mtn bike trails via YouTube.

    Shimano Inter-5 vs Enviolo

    I just switched to a mid-drive from a hub drive, thinking I was more of a bicyclist that it appears that I really am. The mid-drive requires a lot of shifting, so I am working on getting better at this again. If I had my druthers, though, I'd prefer the auto shifting of the Enviolo as I know...

    Get repaired (if possible), donate, trade in or ride into the ground?

    Looking for advice. I have a 3+ year old Himiway Cruiser w/ a hair over 2,700 miles on it. For the last 700-800 miles, there is a weird grinding noise from the motor. I still ride it fine, but that grinding noise is, literally, like nails on a chalkboard. Think it might be the planetary gears or...

    Recommendation for ebike for commute on mountain trails

    Looks like a cool bike, but, unless she's taller than the average female, even the smaller of the available frames says for riders 5'7" and above. The weight would also be dependent on customizations chosen (or not). It's nice that it's customizable, but the ones I'd choose would push it closer...

    Recommendation for ebike for commute on mountain trails

    Finding an ebike built for mountain trails weighing less than 45 lbs could be a challenge. The Turbo Levo is great, but still weighs 52 lbs. How "bumpy" are these mtn roads/ trails? To me, suspension is important. I have a new full suspension bike, and, while it weighs more, smoothing out the...

    Discover 2 and, soon, Nomad 2

    The Discover 2 looks like (and sounds like) such a nice bike. If I hadn't just bought another new bike a few weeks ago, I would have been looking HARD at this one. The Nomad 2, when it comes out, should be a clear winner over others, like Rad, Lectric and even Aventon. The current Nomad, even...

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    Guy said he had all kinds of issues and that it was a nightmare. I really liked the bike, but didn't want to chance it. Wish I had pulled the trigger, though, before the end of Feb as the prices jumped in March.

    Why no sub-forum for Euphree e-bikes?

    I can only tell you that the City Robin X+ rides like a dream. I think "what if?" every day that I didn't purchase that bike. I test-rode many bikes, too... very nice ones, but that's the one that I keep coming back to thinking about.

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    So, just to update, I did buy an open box Omega... for about 2 hours. Frankly, I changed my mind for 2 reasons: 1. Really wanted that suspension 2. There is/ was a poster (might be on an ebike group on FB) that really talked me out of the Omega. He still has one, but he was adamant that he...

    Shipping Container of New Biktrix FS Model Stolen.. Help track down the thieves.

    I agree wholeheartedly that this sucks and hope that the thieves are found. My question, though, as a business owner myself... you telling me that Biktrix doesn't have insurance to cover this? What about the shipyard? I can't imagine the Biktrix is going to be out $500k. They won't be...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    I bought a mid-drive as I don't consider myself a lazy rider, and it rides great... exactly as it is supposed to. However, I am coming around to the realization that maybe I am the lazy rider I didn't think i was. The hub drive is easier... to me, at least. I'm sure I'll get used to shifting...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    Just bought my 2nd Himiway. My 1st was the original Himiway Cruiser, which I will ride still on occasion, especially if I am feeling "lazier." My new one is the new Himiway A7 Pro, mid-drive, full-suspension urban cruiser. I may see about putting on some knobbier tires on the A7 to try it on a...

    Unsolicited comments about your ebike lately?

    Same here in Folsom, CA... still get the occasional weekend Lance Armstrong in lycra on the American River Bike Trail who is bitter, but they hate everyone... e-bikers, mtn bike riders, hikers, kids, dogs... themselves.

    hill climbing? 750W hub versus 250W mid drive

    Well, I know what is "supposed" to be, but my old 750w hub drive Himiway Cruiser flew up steep hills while my new mid-drive Himiway A7 Pro struggles... let me amend that, I am struggling with it. Maybe I AM a lazier rider than I thought I was.

    2nd ride on Himiway A7 Pro - what went into thinking and other bikes I considered

    Yeah, I switched to the Cloud 9 seat. I've repositioned the bell, so will see if that works for me as the right side of the handlebars is pretty "busy" now with the gears, the throttle and the bell. I also put my handlebars in a more upright, relaxed position. While I pedal the entire time, I...

    Why no sub-forum for Euphree e-bikes?

    I was looking under bike brands, and Euphree isn't an option. I know they are growing and just released the new "Stellar Falcon." I just purchased a different bike, but the one, of out all that I test-rode (Aventon Aventure2, Electric Bike Company... a couple of their models, Wired Freedom...

    2nd ride on Himiway A7 Pro - what went into thinking and other bikes I considered

    This was my 1st time uploading a video to YouTube. I will get better at it, but it has my first impressions of the Himiway A7 Pro, what I like and stuff I need to improve upon to make it the ride I want and some of the other bikes I considered.

    Ordered the A7 Pro

    Yeah, the weight was my only hesitation. It looks to be a really nice bike. I'll post my own review (no video) once I get a couple of rides under my belt.
