My wife is also fine with it. Plus other seats are available for $20-30 at Amazon. IMO, there is no reason not to get a particular ebike for a $20-30 seat.

Thanks for the link. And just as I thought the 50 US states are all over the place with ebike regulations. 500W, <750W, 1000W, 1500W... geez...

Yes, the Radius Tour is by far a much lighter ebike than any of the rear hub motor ebikes, so it is much easier to handle. BTW if you want even more suspension, try a 31.6mm Suntour NCX 400mm length suspension seatpost. I bought one for my wife from Aliexpress for about $70 and is awesome...

Would you mind posting a link to the "US federal ebike regulation/definition"? Thanks.

My wife has a Haibike Radius Tour and she loves it. There are so many things to like starting with the impressive Yamaha PW motor/battery to the Shimano Nexus drivetrain (IMO, a great drivetrain for mid drive motors without the stresses that gear changes of regular derailers put on the chain)...

I don't have any idea what equipment @Court uses, but from different shadows it looks to be a GoPro like camera with a selfie stick and different mounting accessories to mount it pretty much anywhere when he mounts it on a bike he is reviewing. And considering that the top GoPro Hero7 has the...

Ahem... these are NOT just "people". They are world class athletes competing at the top of their sport. And there is NOT a world class athlete competing at the top of their sport who does NOT look like that while doing it, no matter the sport. Yet everyone of them LOVES DOING IT, and trains even...

Having been to a pedestrian public downtown area of a city were Lime-S scooters are everywhere (and I DO mean literally EVERYWHERE; like in the thousands), and having seen with my own eyes the many close calls with pedestrians, I think there is a good case at the least for controlling their...

Nashville is banning electric scooters after a man was killed. https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/21/18701299/nashville-electric-scooter-ban-man-killed Nashville is banishing the scooters after its first scooter-related death. The city’s mayor David Briley notified seven scooter companies...

BTW, I found this from Bosch's page: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/everything-about-the-ebike/stories/three-class-ebike-system/ IMO, I think we need a federal regulation that applies to all 50 states, rather than each state having their own unique differences. And based on the definitions...

BTW, I found this from Bosch's page which states that class 3 ebikes are NOT supposed to have throttle: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/another-twist-to-throttle-vs-pas-ebikes-comments-wanted.28435/page-2#post-201223 Of course IF this regulation was to become state or federally...

There is nothing proprietary on the Ride1up, even if the company is no more (unlike buying any of these other expensive custom frame/battery made ebikes). You can buy everything off the shelf to replace if something stops working past the 1 year warranty period. And in many ways you can improve...

The weirdness that I'm referring to is the need to pedal to engage it, and that is not a Class III anything. And I'm sure that both the speed as well as the need to pedal are software controlled and so should be changeable. BTW, the Ride1up throttle works without a speed limit (pedelec or...

Yada yada yada... I'm telling you what the "cheater" yelling road bicyclist is thinking, NOT what YOU wish he was thinking. Cause in his view the "bicycle lane" since the beginning has been called a "bike" lane, not "bike and motorized ebike" lane. ;)

Even though I like the Pace 500 very much, and I do recommend it, you need to be aware of couple of things. First, unlike the Ride1up, the Pace 500 comes with a rigid fork so your ride will feel every bump of the road. So you will either have to purchase a suspension fork or a suspension...

There is a difference on top speed with the Ride1up, or any ebike for that matter, with a fully charge battery (90-100%). I have no problem hitting 25mph on throttle alone or PAS 9 (its max speed) even when riding heels IF the battery is fully charged. The top speed drops once the charge goes...

And I've ridden both too and I say they are similar on assist levels, with the Ride1up plenty strong given its own limitation of 25mph max speed versus the 28mph for the Pace. And they both produce that speed from similar 500W motors. The difference is 12% in top speed between the two and maybe...

Having riden, and competitively at that, regular road bikes and now ebikes, I can assure you there is nothing "iron price" of a "top" effort on an ebike versus a "top" effort versus a regular road bike. But your definition of an "iron price" may be different than mine.
