    Evo 29'er, My New Bike

    Impressive, @J.R. That seems to be the equivalent of a (relatively flat & windless) 60 mile range, something I wouldn't have expected. I'm guessing your bank may have now seen several hundred charge/discharge cycles? I'm about a week away from being able to test the 27.5 and, if the fit...

    BH / Dapu M155 freehub, parts and maintenance?

    Thanks, @Joergen8 . I'm now planning a multi-day visit to a dealer with a large ebike inventory in early June. It will be interesting to learn just what they might capable of in supporting a distant customer. Asking a customer to rely on the dealer network - even if some are well-established &...

    IZIP E3 Peak Video review

    Boost button is $50, according to several of Court's reviews. Definitely down in the noise level of a new ebike purchase. Court explained that it plugs into the display.

    BH / Dapu M155 freehub, parts and maintenance?

    Good stuff, @Joergen8 Thanks for taking the time to share the pics & description with us. And congrats on correcting the 'crunchy' noises. Sine you're in Europe, your A to this Q may not mean much + or - to those of us in the States...but what's it like to deal with BH? My impression is that...

    ebike for a hilly commute

    @e_adventure based on your description of your commute in the other thread about your ebike search, I would be concerned about the battery capacity of the sduro models. And that's with the 400 Wh capacity promised by Haibike for a brand new battery. If you do manage the multi-day ebike commute...

    Looking for a solid bike for a long commute

    @e_adventure if you get a chance to sample an OHM bike, I hope you'll post your impressions. Being a joint U.S./CAD distributor, perhaps it's likely you'll find one locally. I've been disappointed that there isn't a stronger OHM community here, as some more input from a diversity of settings...

    @Adrian I'm interested to hear your reactions should you get a chance for a Bosch ride. So please share...

    My shiny new Radwagon (RadDragon)

    You get to ride a new bike and avoid taking 3 buses? And camping, too? Congrats, @Barkme Wolf! Sounds like you're making some great lifestyle changes.

    Bike Lock Mount on ST2

    @Rick Huizinga, thanks for the pic. In what circumstances have you found the Noose to still be too short for securing the frame & rear wheel? Love the concept and respect the hardware.

    How do you secure your ebike?

    What I appreciated about @Carl_L 's post is the perspective that we're really trying to protect three different things: accessories (light, bags), components (seat, wheel) and the bike itself. So looking at the whole process as Carl did is a good reminder. It's not as simple as e.g. all the...

    Cross Current

    Lots of drool marks are being wiped off keyboards as the CC's begin to arrive. Sure is fun to monitor this thread. :p

    Court's Bosch vs. Yamaha Mid-Drive Comparisons

    That's strange... Here's the Yamaha display video from Blue Monkey that - at least right now - is working for me. Thanks for the Heads Up.

    Court's Bosch vs. Yamaha Mid-Drive Comparisons

    For those of you reading this discussion on mid-drive motors (and Court's guide), you might appreciate a thorough demo of the display systems on these two most common systems. A Utah ebike store - Blue Monkey - has done a nice job of producing those demos and the links are below. While Court...

    BionX D series -- first impressions

    @Michel have you discussed this with OHM? And do you use regen on the downhill side of those hills? Based on the OHM threads posted here at EBR that does sound less than I would expect. But OHM has a three-year warranty for the D-500, so I suggest you following up with them. Good luck! And...

    Missing the "Compare" feautre

    FYI I needed it last night to compare two Ohm models, so Imagree it's been missed. BUT...when I've tried to use it in the past, it only worked part of the time. When I mentioned this to Court he acknowledged it needed more work before producing reliable results. So I think we just need to let...

    Easy Motion Battery Rebuild

    "Also it's interesting that 36v batteries with a capacity around 10ah cost between $150 - $300 and in a case made for other bikes between $200 - $400. Now I'm all for people making a healthy profit, we all have families to feed, but how is $800 - $1000 not a rip off?" It would seem so at first...

    1UpUSA Bike Rack

    Helpful thread; thanks everyone. My main takeaway is the rack is purchased last, after decisions about the kind of rear rack you want to mount on your bike, and whether you add fenders (and if so, how much they cover the tires. Thanks for mentioning this specific rack @George S. I've been...

    Shimano STePS

    For those missed it, Court did a follow-up review of the 2016 Raleigh Misceo iE and found a number aspects more refined. 700 x 40c wheels & tires, tho'...so definitely not like the gorgeous MTB pictured above. (There's also a 2016 review of the Misceo Sport iE, more of a city commuter but...

    after fire at crazy lennys concerns about storing batteries....?

    Take a look at the new guide on eBike battery safety which Court recently posted. I've read other practical & helpful articles written by Ed Benjamin and think he offers a series of suggestions that I found helpful to consider.

    Evo 29er: the hunt for a second wheelset and/or new rims

    @Joergen8 your research abilities and thoroughness are really impressive. Super glad Lenny might be able to address the one missing piece for you. Beautiful wheel!
