Bolton's Hercules IS a Eunorau G20 - I unboxed one in and it had a Eunorau badge on it. It shipped from Eunorau's Las Vegas warehouse to Bolton, then Bolton sold and shipped it to us - they never opened the box... it was wrapped at least 20 times in cellophane and took a half an hour just to...

Are you under 300lbs between you (including stuff you might carry)? That's the total payload cap of the Cafe Cruiser

Check those passenger weight limits, which are often buried deep in the specs, if listed at all... On the new Cafe Cruiser, Ride1Up says 130 lbs

I rode Eunorau's G20 cargo for about 20 miles on some serious hills over a few rides, and it gobbled close to 1.5 full batteries with just me (185 lbs) on it. It's a bulky bike, but you'll want such heft to safely haul you and your wife... I'm not aware of many other reasonably priced (~$2k)...

Yikes! Sorry to say that you may have to scrap that fork. My trusted and extremely gifted bike mechanic has shared several tricks with me to DIY a lot of bike stuff, but always warned against doing my own fork replacement. Between precision-cutting, star nut and crown race stuff, it can be a...

What follows is a timeline of my how my MTB/eMTB habits started, but I also have a converted gravel bike (TSDZ2), a converted recumbent trike (BBS02), and a fat bike (2015 iZip Sumo w/TranzX, still going, pic below)... I was never into road-riding until I began riding ebikes. 1991, Bridgestone...

Looks solid and the value's there, but when they say "Install our passenger kit and add a passenger on the back while cruising around your town," they should add "300 lb total weight capacity." It's in the "Dimensions and Sizing" section below the component specs, but that's pretty low for a...

I was born with the hearing of an 80 year old, and have used hearing aids for 50+ years now. I've had excellent results from the Phonak canal aids I got from Costco nearly a decade ago, and the Rextons I replaced them with a few years ago (also at Costco). Both pairs were molded to my ears...

Gotta add the travel fee

I wonder how much he peddles that paddleboat for, and how many paddles those pedals propel. New Sphinx riddle: does one pedal a paddleboat, or paddle a pedal boat? The reward - a dozen rose petals (one rose is enough).

I've heard of this happening on several brands of eMTBs, so I reinforced my wiring

BUMP! Too much peddling, not enough pedaling.

One thing Fakebook is still useful for (despite the privacy issues) is group problem-solving. While this group didn't solve my dreaded E010 issue, it does seem to be helping some folks. At the very least, it's educational... https://www.facebook.com/groups/826878087937507 I think you'll need...

More details quoted from someone with far more technical expertise than me in the Fb group, "Shimano E Steps Motor Users": That posting goes on with an opinion that jibes with my first-post statement about the sensor's lack of robustness... Despite the lack of response to this poll, I've...

"Electric Motors Prohibited" - so combustion motors are A-OK?

After 2250 joyous trail miles on my Commencal MetaPower eMTB with Shimano's e8000 motor, I've recently experienced the apparently common - and oft-dreaded - E010 error code. According to Shimano, E010 indicates a "system error," so I searched my regular ebike forum jaunts (mostly here and the...

I frequently hit speeds above my ebikes' assist limits - are you saying that ebikes will be able to slow that down somehow?

Is it possible that they have such a limited supply of some models to sell that they have to mark up the few that they have substantially enough to survive until supply comes back? (Knocks wood.)

I'm fortunate - there are a few shops in my area that have done bike repair services on my consumer-direct and internet-bought ebikes that I could or would not handle myself. One place is especially good to me, though I'm reciprocally good to them with tips and such. I'm genuinely respectful...

That's good news! Where did you get the motor from?
