If you have the $$ then it's worth getting the right ebike for your needs. Keep in mind though that you might still find you want (or need) a 2nd battery, depending. I don't have a 2nd battery but I've considered it. However, I don't do big hills and I generally only ride up to 20 to 25...

This is what I experience with my 36v 12 (actually 11.6ah) battery, except I don't ride on those kind of hills. But if I did, I'd only get 20mi range. As it is, I can reliably get 28m range, as long as I'm able to stay in a combo of Eco/Standard most of the time. You'll need to get a 2nd...

Never mention sore butt from riding a bike to a know-it-all non-cyclist. I said something about my soreness to my cousin, who is most definitely not a cyclist or physically fit. I wasn't asking for advice, just making a comment. Her immediate and forceful suggestion: put a sheep skin cover...

@Ed D Please take a picture of the ramp hooked up to the rack. I want to see how 1Up did this since they don't have ramps readily available on their site. Thanks!

I have padded bike shorts (3 pairs!), and the body glide stick, but when the issue is muscular then doing those all important slow stretches with long holds and really working the hamstring stretches every day of the week, riding or not, I think will make a difference. That plus getting off the...

@Alaskan I only have a need to carry 1 bike (my own) and I paid $350 for my 1up rack. I'm actually waiting for the new Quik Rack Mach 2s to be produced (made by the original designer of the quik rack), which will hold a 70 lb ebike and his price for black anodized is $269 or thereabouts. He...

I think I'm now convinced that all new(er) riders and new in the season riders and out of shape riders really need to get off their bikes every 5 mi (or 20 min) and walk around, stretch out their hamstrings and get the blood flowing. I include myself in this list . No matter how great a seat...

The Thule Easyfold XT2 is a great solution and the integrated ramp is the way to go. It's just way out of my price range for a rack. The 1Up works fine for me. I remover the battery, which makes the bike fit the weight limit, and I don't have any problems with the clamp arms on my particular...

And here's a solution being utilized by an EBR member: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/possible-solution-for-1up-rack-with-fenders.4401/

Could be the battery jostled a bit during the ride and lost connectivity or one of the connectors between the display control panel got jostled. I don't think you have a defective battery, just a hunch.

For those who are curious about the 1Up USA Super Duty Rack which holds each bike weighing up to 75lb, and are nervous about the force of the arm and how to protect the fender, I found a cool picture showing that exact setup. Notice there are TWO Stromer bikes loaded AND one fender protector is...

@bob armani , Would love to see a picture of this, please & thanks!

I of course used the proofride and some mink oil, I road 5 mi here and there with no padded shorts, trying to get my sit bones to make their mark. I did 3 or 4 treatments where you plunge the seat into a bucket of warm/hot water for a few minutes, then moisturize the leather again and then ride...

Terrific picture! What pannier bag are you using? I see you have a Brooks seat on that bike -- did it come with that seat? I have a Brooks B17-S (women's version of B17) and even after 300 mi it never got comfortable to where I could ride with it beyond about 8 mi.

I think the estimates by easy motion are exaggerated. I think of it as the range someone about 100 lbs soaking wet, riding on completely flat terrain, with a tail wind, on only eco, and carrying nothing else with them, would get. Meaning -- not real world conditions for 95% of the people. I...

Easy Motion Evo Street (2015), 350w geared hub motor, 36v 12ah battery, ride a combo of Eco & Standard 97% of the time, something higher 3% of the time. Terrain is various asphalt paths and street, slight rolling hills under 5% incline. With this setup I can get about 30 mi range total as long...

My fenders are plastic as well and there isn't any big pressure put on them. There is pressure applied to the tire, but it's not a damaging kind of pressure. Why don't you watch some youtube videos showing reviews of the rack and you can see the arms hold well because of the ratcheting that's...

@Drew My ebike has fenders and I use the 1up rack. I have no problems with the fenders. The arm that goes onto my front tire doesn't even reach the fender and the arm for the back tire I have their foam roller thing that velcros on to the bar to protect the fender. Don't purchase theirs...

Ummm....that's beyond my capabilities. But I'll think about talking to them. I'm also wanting to upgrade to the new Quik Rack Mach 2 by Cal Phillips, who developed the original ones sold by 1Up USA. His patent ran out and he re-designed the quik rack and started his own site and is selling...

Watched the video Court & Chris did together in Brooklyn of the 2 red R&M bikes (complete with spooky swinging metal fence). Those are gorgeous bikes. I'll need to save up for one of the step-thru nuvinci models. I really appreciate the in-depth reviews and it's nice to see well-known ebike...
