As a short female (5'0") I know first-hand the challenge of finding and selecting a suitable ebike. Rather than suggest specific brands and models I'll instead give some good guidelines to use to help narrow down and filter out choices. Especially Useful For a Short Rider: - smaller tire...

I'm a short female (5'0") and I decided on the Easy Motion Evo Street, which comes with 26" tires, a low step-thru frame, and is not a "cruiser" bike but it is an urban bike. I purchased mine in 2015. Highly recommend this bike, really great for short females. Adjustable handlebars so you can...

These battery issues and gotchas drive me crazy. It's already a bit of a challenge to figure out what one's accurate range is on an ebike (at least it is for me because it's variable). Then, on top of that, having to worry about the battery being charged but "not too charged." It actually...

I purchased a bike tool & patch kit by Bell from my local Walmart. Comes in a pouch. I also have a mini-pump and spare tube. I carry these items in my trunk bag.

I would think 60 seconds would be enough. Certainly worth testing it out, yes?

Hi @ebikemom, Just an FYI for you: you may not be aware there is a dedicated Pedego Owner's Group (POG) on Facebook. If you're looking for feedback on things other Pedego owners have changed on their bikes, problems solved, good resources, you may want to join that group. Here's the direct...

I would choose a longer ulock version of this Xena XSU69 lock. This XSU69 is the one I have. It's made in the UK. Note: This XSU69 model lock is actually 16mm, not 18mm, and it's just over 2lbs, not 2.5lbs. The longer Ulock would allow for attachment to stationary bike rack or pole plus go...

Am I reading correctly that you currently own 3 R&M ebikes? That's quite an investment you've made!

I ordered THIS PANNIER BAG direct from China. It should ship in about 3 or 4 days then should take about 3 weeks or so to arrive. I purchased THIS TRUNK BAG last month from China directly, which is nice. I did have to use a zip tie to anchor the carry handle to the rack as a 3rd anchor point...

an insulating grocery bag, as someone suggested + 2 or 3 frozen gel packs for keeping things cold will work well. Take the frozen gel packs right out of the freezer, put in insulating bag and off to the store you go. Make sure to close your bag tightly at the top to keep the cold inside and...

I have a Brooks B17S (the women's version of the B17) that has about 300mi on it. It's okay for about 10 mi then I'm sore. I tried another/padded seat and I could only ride for 10 mi on that before my butt was sore. So this is about my butt and needing to get off the bike and walk and stretch...

When I ordered my Easy Motion in 2015, there were no local ebike shops in my area, so I had my bike shipped directly to a local sole proprietor cycle and scooter shop to have him do the assembly and check everything out for me to make sure all was ready to go. All I had to do was go pick the...

I purchased a roll of white vinyl (like what is used for auto applications) and covered up the E*motion logo on both sides of my battery. With a bright light shining on it one can still sort of see the logo, but it works well enough.

THAT ("NO FAIR" No fair that I don't have your knees, so can't ride a regular bike) should be a T-shirt with the message front AND back! In fact, I'm convinced ebikers would be best served with Tshirts that have specific messages about why they ride an ebike. For instance: - One Less Car...

Looks nice. Too bad someone vomited on it in the lower photograph. ;)

@J.R. Understood. Your post just happened to ping on my current focus about cycling maps and routing and safety. I literally had 3 different mapping sites up in tabs on my browser when I saw your post.

Funny you should post this, @J.R. I too have cycling maps on my mind. My pet peeve right now is this: google maps turning bicycling layer on and letting google calculate routes using the bicycle as the mode of transportation still routes a ride on roads that, while technically may be...

I love my EM Evo Street (2015 edition). Of course I would love the newest Evo Street Pro+, because of the bigger motor and the bigger battery. But not this year. I plan to stick with BH/Evo Street in general. While I've seen other step thru ebikes on EBR and several are quite enticing, the...

This is good news and I agree it's fantastic that your battery was built to have new cells and you weren't sent a battery that had been sitting around in a warehouse somewhere for months on end. I'm in the southeast and it's been hot & humid and we're heading into 3 or 4 months of it. Early...

My butt was so sore after one 20 mile ride I could feel it for the following 2 days.
