The threads have now been merged. Our moderation team is small, we don't create these threads, or have time to manually scrub each of the hundreds of threads created on EBR every day. If there's duplicate threads, feel free to tag me and request that they be merged and I'll make it happen :)

Done!

Done! I'll start moving related threads over. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/forum/serial-1/ Who did you DM about it? If it was Court... he gets a million notifications and messages on here every day, he doesn't see most of them. Too many to keep up with!

No ebike is perfect, this is a thread dedicated to sharing known issues or problems with electric bicycles from Serial 1 as well as any help and solutions you know of. Sometimes that means a DIY fix and other times it can mean a recall, software update or part replacement by a dealer. Please be...

Sadly yes, that part of the tool is broken. It's been broken for a long time now... the compare tool was built by a previous developer with poor documentation, so I haven't fixed it. I'm making a completely new version that should work much better!

Howdy! "promoted bikes" are promoted for a specific category, such as the Commuting category where you'll see the Magnum Metro. Whenever viewing that category the promoted bike is always at the top of the list with a clear green "Promoted" tag. This is a paid service and it does not grant...

Hey TomD, great question here. EBR stopped charging for reviews towards the end of 2020. Actually, the vast majority of reviews on our platform were provided free of charge, but in 2018 we started charging a standard fee in order to expand our team and try to cover more bikes. We were able to...

It's definitely lower quality compared to a lot of more expensive ebikes, but I think Lectric does a good job of balancing quality and cost. I think the "cheap" vs "affordable" discussion comes down to the difference between "poor quality" and "lower quality than more premium options." It will...

@BarnBoy , @Acme , @flocknut , @Deacon Blues - and everyone else following this thread - I'm stopping by to leave a friendly reminder about our forum guidelines. I tagged you folks in particular as I had to delete or edit some of your posts to remove content that violates our rules, you can...

Ugh, this stuff bothers me to no end! The worst is groups of teens walking and taking up the whole path, call out "on your left" (or anything) and they all turn and look, confused, then everyone goes in different directions. I got my drivers license at 16 and I remember being shocked with how...

I completely agree. What keeps you safe is awareness, reaction time, and skill on your two-wheeled vehicle of choice. I know many people who were seriously injured on regular old bicycles because they weren't paying attention, riding without any gear, didn't know how to fall safely, etc. Very...

Yes, I'd think so too! 100 miles is the range limit for our shop locator, although we do have an upgraded 300 mile tier... there's some shops that are in very lightly populated areas, and the only shop for hundreds of miles around.

I've never thought of it that way before, great analogy! I've always wondered why some heavier bikes somehow feel lighter and more nimble than different ones that are significantly lighter.

Correct, we just disabled this for only that subforum. I updated the description as well as the pinned FAQ in there to help, but it may take people time to get used to the change. It doesn't help that the "Insufficient privileges" messages is so vague... I'll see what I can do about changing...

I'm glad to hear it! We've put a ton of effort into our LBS ads, there's more of them on the main review site but they're always out of the way, and relevant to visitors general location and the brand being looked at. Some manufacturers do work with us to list all of their dealers, but the vast...

Ok, but how much extra work do you have to do in order to get the 100 mile range? The regen works by taking some of your coasting momentum, or by taking your pedaling output if you're pedaling past the point of motor assist. Sure, you get longer range, but you end up doing a lot more work for...

Hi folks, some friendly reminders: 1) Please stay on topic :) 2) Please treat your fellow members with respect. If you don't like what someone has to say you can put them on ignore, or report their post if it violates our rules. 3) Absolutely no posting of personal information about other...

Beautiful bike, may come in handy for keeping up with your son before too long! Welcome aboard :)

We actually stopped charging for our reviews about six months ago, this does limit how many bikes we can cover but we're all about quality over quantity. That's the ideal setup - not charging for reviews helps us to be as objective and unbiased as possible. Since we have a small team it's not...

OK folks, looks like this has careened completely off topic and into name-calling, so this thread is getting locked down. Friendly reminder to all, please keep things on topic, and if you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourself!
