    I didn't buy my mirror through Amazon, but this is the one I have and I'm very happy with it. Mirrycle Mirror

    Greetings from Western Quebec

    Welcome (Bienvenue) to the forum and to e-bikes! You're not kidding about hilly country around where you are. A mirror is a good idea but I think you're going to have to wait to see what the bar ends look like on your new bike. On my bike (a Giant) I had to remove one of the bar end pieces...

    Problems with the latest software update

    There are several threads about this issue and the software update in general. I guess you didn't do a search? Lots of good info there. Anyway, when I had this same issue it required going to the dealer to have them use their special software to update everything. I'd tried everything...

    Very nice! Doesn't even look like an e-bike. Must have a very small battery? What kind of range do you get?

    Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the bike! Photos would be nice! Bike thieves should be strung up!

    Hello, from Connecticut

    The photos look great, but gee your text is hard to read. You might try throwing in a few paragraph breaks (not to mention shorter sentences). I hope others have more patience to read your text than I do.

    Hello from Warsaw

    I've heard great things about Stromer, especially for those in Europe. There have been some rumors about their North American distribution having some issues. Here in Montreal we have one (I think only) dealer for Stromer and I've looked at them (and drooled about them). Pretty amazing bikes...

    New to the ebike game

    Welcome! I guess since you're in Canada (like I am) your bike is the Canadian model limited to 32kph assist? You're enjoying your bike?

    Hello from Warsaw

    Welcome to the forum! Is your bike an e-bike? Or will the one for your wife be the first one in your family? There are lots of good reviews here, but many of us feel one of the most important things to look for is a good local bike shop that can support you. An e-bike often needs a lot...

    Hello from Toronto

    Nice looking bike! Doesn't even look like an e-bike. I guess the battery isn't removable? Welcome to the forum!

    Folding Ebike

    Adjusting the derailleur shouldn't be too difficult. There are a ton of excellent videos on YouTube about how to do it. I think Park Tools has an excellent one that might be of help to you. About the noise... all e-bikes seem to emit some noise that is foreign to a non-ebike rider. What you...

    Folding Ebike

    Welcome! "Jumping the tailgate"??? I guess I'm too old to understand that. Anyway, that's a folding e-bike? Personally I hadn't heard of that brand before. What kind of upgrades are you considering? And is it a brand new bike for you? 100 miles sure doesn't sound like much. Photos of...

    Greetings and Salutations

    Welcome. You said you were looking for some tech advice but then you didn't ask a question or say what you needed help with.

    Hi from Montreal, Quebec. Moustache 2020 Friday FS5

    Love it! I've upgraded the headlight, put nicer pedals on, added a mirror and horn and suspension seat post and my iPhone charges through the EVO display unit connection. I've bought a second charger which I keep at the office, just in case I need to run some errands during the day otherwise I...

    Problem with latest firmware update

    The way Giant has changed the light operation is really annoying! With the new firmware the lights no longer come on when you turn on the power. And if you simply click the light button, the display (at least with the EVO display I have) cycles between bright, dim and off. You need to hold...

    Hi from Montreal, Quebec. Moustache 2020 Friday FS5

    Hi Mark, Really nice looking bike. Who's the dealer here for them? There's a model (Friday FS 27 Speed) that looks like an incredible bike, but it's very unlikely to be available in Canada because it's too fast. But gee it looks like an amazing bike. And that Samedi XRoad 5 FS looks great...

    Hello from Central Texas

    I'm in Canada and the prices of bikes is completely different, but I'm sure that you will have plenty of quality options available for you well within your price range. One of the most important things when buying an ebike (my strong opinion) is to have a good local dealer. And ebike often...

    Hello from Central Texas

    Welcome to the forum! Riding an ebike in a pasture? Granted I don't know anything about pastures (city boy here) but I imagine they would be quite rough and uneven. You'd probably need something like a mountain bike with suspension and wide knobby tires. Have you got a price range in mind...

    Hello from SF Bay Area

    Welcome to the forum! Most ebikes are quite heavy, unfortunately. I rarely put mine on the car rack but when I do, I have to remove the battery and anything else I can to lighten the load and even then I have a hard time lifting it high enough. Longer overnight trips with your ebike...

    Hello from the UK

    Welcome to the forum, Steve. Did you know there is an NCM specific section in the brands forum? You might get some help over there. Or maybe the how-to forum where you might find out how to replace the cells of your old battery. Good luck!
