    Anyone use a solar system to charge your ebike? What system are you using?

    Oh man, this is such a sweet setup! Solar power and shade at the same time! I've been thinking about making some kind of long-distance setup with a trailer, but it never occurred to me to use a recumbent for it. How wide are your panels, did you have trouble riding in bike lanes or on bike paths?

    Forum Features: Your Opinion Wanted!

    Great suggestion! I'll check theirs out. I agree, it can get frustrating to sift through pages and pages of replies to find the most relevant stuff. Thanks for the feedback on this. I'll see what I can do to make this section less obnoxious - perhaps making it collapsed down with a "show...

    Is there a particular reason cargo bikes tend to be hub drive?

    I think most of it comes down to price. On a cargo bike, what matters more may be brute strength and durability; Sure, mid-drive is more efficient and can leverage the gears, but a 500 or 750 watt hub motor will be plenty of power, much cheaper, and much more durable. Since mid-drives put more...

    How On Earth Are Small Bike Companies Going to Continue?

    I wonder the same myself. Small companies still need to pay their workers and all that. Many small companies may be staying afloat based on pre-order type sales; for example, SONDORS has sold a whole boatload of orders for its new mid-drive line of bikes, but they haven't been shipped yet (to my...

    To the Moderator This may get me Banned for suggesting it

    How do you tell from the "look" of someone if they have ever ridden a bike, or written code? Regarding your "astroturfing" comment... Not sure where you're coming from with that. EBR goes to great lengths to disclose our advertisers, to the extent that every single review clearly states who...

    Battery Cost: $1,299

    Just a heads up, posting screenshots of private discussions is against our Terms of Use. I can't comment on if it is illegal or not... just not allowed here :) I know it can be a bummer when all the new threads seem to have a negative slant... but I think this thread is a totally fair topic and...

    First Solar Powered eBike on the Block!

    I haven't been following it for awhile but I bet you are correct, I doubt they sold very many at that high price. It's a cool idea and a very well built product, but I never ended up using mine - far easier to just bring the charger and for most rides its easier to find an outlet than to find a...

    Considering a Gazelle, Pros and Cons?

    Gazelle makes some phenomenal bikes, they will do great on hills as well as unassisted riding. We've reviewed quite a few of them, and Court just covered the latest Ultimate C380 :) I got to spend some time with the Ultimate T10 in the fall of 2019, really enjoyed it and got to test it out on...

    Using Bold & Italics on Mobile

    I did some looking about, it seems advanced editing is now disabled by default on mobile devices, because the advanced editor is sometimes glitchy on mobile. The logic is that most people don't use advanced formatting when posting from their phones... so anyone who does can enable it. I hadn't...

    Forum Features: Your Opinion Wanted!

    Would that be before or after adding in the new rules you have proposed? :D I jest - thanks for sharing your feedback! We did clean up our rules just recently (about a month ago) to help simplify things. Some of it is a bit more "legalese", but that's the nature of doing business in multiple...

    The latest trend that’s helping reduce e-bike prices - Single-speed electric bikes

    I'm the same way, I had my road bike converted to a single speed because I never shifted when riding around town, would just stand up pedal if needed. Some of this was from my bike having old paddle shifters on the stem so I couldn't shift while applying brakes, so downshifting while slowing...

    Forum Features: Your Opinion Wanted!

    I was thinking about that, the reason for grouping them into regions was twofold: Make it more simple to find the appropriate region Group countries with similar Ebike regulations and brand availability I think I'll keep it as is for now and see how it works, and what suggestions and...
