Thanks for posting the video @Rob02150. A few follow-up notes: -- the video didn't offer a good view of the torque sensor, which was relocated to the rear hub on the production version. This conflicts with mounting some (most?) of the available racks but OTOH provides most of the 'secret...

@Cameron Newline I'm certainly late to your original post, but I thought I'd add to the thread my experience with the 2016 E3 ProTour. I rode it on two ~4 mile runs last week and thought it was a good example of how a bike's spec sheet can impress, the latest generation TransX motor can be all...

Bet they didn't test some of the FS Bulls models...or if they did, I'd question their rankings.

@youth I think your assumption is quite valid: "...to maintain it I'd say you have to be semi-fit..." Or maybe more than just 'semi-fit'. And that would be on a flat, paved surface without opposing wind. Speaking from a personal perspective, however, it wasn't the '28 mph top speed' that I...

@Janet I still think much of the advice here fits your circumstances...and please enjoy a Flat White for me when next in Melbourne, one of Oz's many places we miss so much. It's not unusual for folks to hear about ebikes and jump to the conclusion it might meet either their transportation needs...

@2wheel I can't offer much comment except to say I rode the Performance and CX versions from Bosch last week and the CX motor, on a FS Bulls, was noticeably stronger, seemingly a bit smoother, and overall very impressive. If I was looking at ebikes of that caliber and cost, I'd be reluctant to...

Janet, my suggestions for you are: -- borrow some bikes from friends and/or neighbors - bikes that fit you physically - and go for short rides, exploring areas near you or where your friends live who loaned you the bikes. How do you feel about riding some distance? Is it what you want to be...

I do agree with your point, @JayVee. Moreover, we tend to forget that, in this still immature marketplace, we've yet to see evidence of an industry standard for how long the major manufacturers of finished ebikes will insure retrofittable battery banks and other proprietary components. I...

@JayVee I think your basic premise is quite valid: "Basically the CC makers have stripped the bike of all the fancy stuff off and focused on the essentials instead." And 'focused' doesn't just mean using a higher caliber, off-the-shelf component where it matters the most, which would be the...

I'm guessing this is @Rindy 's bike, altho' it seems to be spec'd out the same way I ordered mine except that I added a Body Float.

Thanks for the congrats, guys. It really is true this site made the fun and results from that trip possible. And now @J.R. won't have to answer yet another batch of Q's from me...at least for a while. And @JayVee the bikes come in M & L, both R & B, and with 7.8 & (when they are in stock...

I haven’t a clue if this approach - when no LBS is available and/or the biker buyer wants to be sure of getting the ‘right’ bike - is the best option for anyone else. But for me, it was a great success and I would do it again in a heart beat. And it isn’t great that, even tho’ there will no...

What bike did I pick? I spilled the beans the other day: a Juiced CrossCurrent. Because it was so reasonably priced, right? Definitely one factor, but definitely not that simple since my budget was up to $3K. There are clear compromises with the CC: It has a less impressive gear set, the...

On my second day, Ravi and I had lunch together and he asked me what surprised me. Well, lots of things to be honest. I rode nine bike models by BH (Easy Motion), iZip, Juiced, Bulls, and Haibike. Eight of them were good rides that I could enjoy owning, a success rate I hadn’t expected. And...

By happenstance this choice coincided with a mixture of some really bad news with some very good fortune. Most folks here have heard of Len’s store suffering serious fire damage recently, and I (selfishly) wondered how that would affect my shopping trip. Well, it turned out not at all, thanks...

We just moved to Bozeman, Montana - a small city full of avid bikers and bike paths, some of which lead you right up (please note: I said ‘UP’…) into the national forests. I wanted to escape the silliness of a 2nd car since we rarely used our last one. However, I also wanted ‘wheels’ in order...

At this time it's my impression there is a growing problem with the quality of Stromer products, at least those distributed in the U.S. And not surprisingly, it appears to be more true the more complex the model chosen. Conversely, Stromer's technical support to the U.S. customer is very...

Congrats to you, @Joergen8 . Glad the ride was pleasing.

Well, just to pile on... Purchased my CC today, for shipment out to Montana in a week or so. Having no ebike LBS options, I decided to take the bull by the horns and go to where the bikes are. I'll post a report on how all that worked out soon. Bottom Line: CONGRATULATIONS to @Tora Harris...

Daniel, how do you plan to use your ebike? Strikers and Radwagons are like cheese & chalk, maybe similar in some ways but for very different purposes. If you have a longer distance touring-type use - e.g. Recreational riding or commuting - then comparing this offer with the cost of a new...
