    Who is , or will be , the Dell of ebikes ?

    Always a pleasure to read you, well said. I was with Dell when they opened up their first office in Canada, in 1986'ish. Michael Dell was a visionary for sure. I remember in the early 80's seeing William Gates III at COMDEX in Toronto, he was the keynote speaker for this computer geek...

    2017 Voltbike Urban

    Wow, that Evelo is nice. Cool features and practically double the price. Web site says they start shipping in late October. Voltbike says the new Urban ships early October.

    Trail tracker , Rad , or Teo fat bike

    I love Teslas, but it's out of reach for me. I'm more into a Honda Civic or Accord.

    Trail tracker , Rad , or Teo fat bike

    The Big Bud Pro is a beautiful bike, absolutely, but at $3499 US it's in a different category all together.

    Yamaha Branded Bicycles

    How would $1000 to $2500 strike you? A city foldable to a city street model. I call this reasonable. Most of my friends and family drive Honda, Toyota or Mazda. None of them would ever spend more than a few thousands for any bike Very few drive luxury European cars, and yes those very few...

    Yamaha Branded Bicycles

    I'm hoping they'll be offering the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla of E-bikes.... We have enough BMW, Mercedes and Audi. ;)

    Updated Téo models for 2018?

    Was just visiting the Téo Fat Bike web site, I wanted to know a little bit more about the updates to my beloved Téo. Téo essentially has 3 models: Téo S, Téo S Limited and the Téo SE. In different colours and sizes. Yet, there are 14 images, with a mix of French and English, features are...

    Broke the handlebar extender

    It's good but not worth $25 for S&H. He could simply put it in a small envelope and charge $5, would still make money out of shipping... But he uses this fancy USPS trackable 2 day service in the US, and still charge $6 USD...

    Hello from Montreal, Canada

    Just a thought... Instead of getting rid of the Téo rack, why not trying to find a tail bag you like... I love my rack and my ROCKBROS tailbag. It's got built in pannier style bag that roll out... Dunno. Just an idea...

    TÉO EBR Review - good one.

    I really love the thumb throttle accessory. It's somewhat expensive for a little piece of plastic with a Velcro strap, but I understand how it's made and volume is low... A big Thumb's Up, pun intended. I heard it was pretty expensive to have it shipped to Canada... Which is why I had mine...

    TÉO EBR Review - good one.

    I think Court mentions @Jazzcat 's Téo is 73 lbs so that would be 33 kg, not too far out at 30. Given the size of the bike, steel fenders, rack and big battery, it makes sense. The Walk mode sure does come in handy on occasion. :eek:

    TÉO EBR Review - good one.

    Since I bring mine to Arizona every winter, when I bought mine I asked Benoit if I could get it 'unlocked to US specs', he said no problem. I also confirmed when picked it up. 750W is what I'm supposed to have. Yet, the box was unopened, sealed at the manufacturing plant, so to this day I still...

    VOLTBIKE Elegant 2017 model review?

    Thank you for this @Mike Burns , very much appreciated. My wife has decided to go with the Voltbike Urban in white, she likes the design, the size and I appreciate the folding, easier to store.

    TÉO EBR Review - good one.

    Those are good points. I just checked a revised Teo site and it's very confusing, still. Different info for same bike in different colours... I really would like to understand the 500 and 750W differences... Could they be the same, just unlocked?
