    Actually, ebikes will get you much LESS exercise

    Well, Less cycling time or less cyclist effort, both are ways ebikes can equate to less exercise. It is no surprise if given the same time parameter an ebike rider can go further with less effort -if the rider chooses to cycle in that manner. However, the ebike rider can, without regard for...

    Where Is The Perfect 2019 Commuter E Bike?

    Of course! For me, that perfect ebike upgrade should have an internally geared 8+ speed rear hub , a mid drive capable of at least at least 70+ Nm of force, at least a 48 volt battery with a 600 Wh capacity. Additionally, Fenders, Lights, a front suspension fork and a rear rack, all for less...

    Rad City has some great attributes but that regen capability seems more like a gimmick than a useful feature.

    Where Is The Perfect 2019 Commuter E Bike?

    I joined the EBR revolution in January 2014 and bought an EG Zurich 350 IX in the Spring of that year. Getting older, I seem to have less time for recreational biking and now find my ebike is the near exclusive device I use when bike commuting. I have been mixing-in 490+ ebike commutes as part...

    Age demography for members.

    I bought my EG Zurich 350IX just after turning 60 y/o. A few months away from turning 65, I can hardly believe how fast time flies. My wife says there is no better time than now to get that new e-bike. I've been waiting for that next model with all the features I want.

    Feedback and Help on BULLS Lacuba EVO E8 Wave Frame

    Your thoughts are very well stated, Alberto! I wholeheartedly agree that there should be some revelation expressed about wobble characteristics of any bike when considering a bike's design, balance, and weight distribution in relation to speed and rider physical characteristics such as height...

    Feedback and Help on BULLS Lacuba EVO E8 Wave Frame

    Being a heavier than average rider myself at 230-240#, -varying during a typical year, I too have experienced speed wobble on a couple of different bikes. Before my 1st ride on the EG Zurich 350 IX (step-thru design), I wondered what was the purpose of the front fork "deflopinator", and...

    Searching For Commuter E bike Perfection

    I'm looking for opinion and advice. Since 2014, I've been commuting about 1500 miles a year on a decent e-bike. The EG Zurich is an entry-level commuter style which has been a very reliable "steed". Having gone through the ordeal of replacing the battery, and still enjoying the sensation of...

    Raleigh Motus with the Nexus 8 speed hub

    Raleigh Motus with the Nexus 8 speed hub

    Very Curious why a Nexus hub isn't being utilized more on e-bikes. The EG Zurich has a Nexus 7 speed hub which compliments the 36v 350 watt front hub nicely. It is my understanding that the Nexus 8 speed can handle the torque output of a crank motor set-up.
