    Throwing your leg over an E-Bike

    I'm 60yo, 6'2" and I have 2 road bikes and 2 ebikes with the ibera rack and ibera bag on all of them, and is the best rack and bag system out there IMO. Very secure, configurable and top notch. And I've tried a lot. In all of those bikes the saddle is about level or higher than the bag when...

    $10,000 off Haibike FullSeven Carbon 10.0 ? Buy it or not?

    My personal view is that I would not pay more than $4K no matter what the ebike, full carbon or not, DI2 or not. No matter how much is being discounted from list price. And I very much doubt anyone ever paid that $17K list price for a freaking 41lb ebike. Not unless it had a frame made out of...

    Has anyone found a secret way to reprogram the Rook/Colt throttle speed controller for higher speed at ANY PAS mode???

    No problem. BTW, since you are new here, a thumbs up (like) will suffice instead of a thank you post. And welcome to the EBR forum.

    Suntour SP12 NCX 27.2mm Suspension Seatpost

    Since you have both the 350 and 400mm Suntour, can you do me a favor and measure them from the bottom to the top of the rails, and then also from the min insertion line to again the top of the rails where you will mount the seat? Thank you.

    How To Judge Quality

    I don't personally know the person you spoke with but like new car dealerships, bike dealerships also have an ulterior motive to pump their own brand. This is why I'll miss my local Performance Bike store (which BTW, is finally gone and closed its doors this past weekend). At that specific store...

    How To Judge Quality

    First of all, if you don't know how to take care a carbon bike then why go directly to full carbon? BTW, my post #71 https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/how-to-judge-quality.26896/page-4#post-184027 mentioned a FULL ALLUMINUM ALLOY at 28.7lb frame not carbon. And if you want to know...

    Say Hello to SURU. Is it an e-Bike? An e-moped? An e-scooter? No, it's a SURU!

    ALL of it, based on their video. And it's a scrambler. And IMO it is prettier than the Juiced scrambler.

    How To Judge Quality

    Orbea is an 88 year old bike company with a lifetime frame warranty on their bikes and a history that proves they do know how to design fast comfortable and strong bikes. So a heavy behemoth ebike weight does not necessarily mean a stronger long lasting bike. It's engineering and manufacturing...

    Using Negative Experiences as Learning Opportunities - What is there to learn from this?

    This is the risk we all take while biking on roads with cars. If you want to avoid the car risk altogether then bike on trails or paths where no cars are allowed. Otherwise if you have to bike in close proximity to cars in certain circumstances you have to be thinking what if the driver didn't...

    How To Judge Quality

    There are standard, single, double and triple butted tubes of aluminum. All with the same outside diameter. Triple butted the lightest, standard the heaviest. A radrover ($1499) weighs 68lb (wheels, motor and 48V 14Ah battery on the bike) with rated 275lb capacity (even though I heard 350lb...

    How To Judge Quality

    If you decide to put a 300lb person or 350lb person on a bike, of course you will need a frame to support that. But as I said any frame that supports a 200lb person will support him and the extra pounds of the diy rear hub conversion. I'm sure the pedegos support heavier people than 200lbs. But...

    CCX Accident

    The only locked front wheel over the handlebar accidents I've seen (not heard but seen) were all using mechanical brakes. Does that mean they don't happen on hydraulic brakes? Of course not. You can lock any wheel, front or back hydraulic or not. If that was the case and since mech brakes have...

    How To Judge Quality

    What do you expect them to say? With a dealer network, the kind of margins they need to make, and paying William Shatner as their spokesperson, all that needs lots of customer money that only marketing BS could remedy. I think that is the 2nd oldest profession in the world. Marketing BS. Apple...

    How struggling can it be to lift a 60lbs eBike to the 3rd floor?

    Awesome! You must have the new all-carbon Gain (versus the previous year alloy frame Gain which was a bit more than 13kg vs 11.3kg for the all-carbon Gain). Either way the Orbea Gain is awesome and IMO that is where the future of ebikes are heading. Light and carbon. Anyone who tells you that...

    CCX Accident

    A "no more than 12mph" (10% grade or not) should not require heavy use of the front brake. However I have another story to tell you. Back when I was building DIY rear hub ebikes out of regular bikes, one of my neighbours liked the idea and he decided to try one. He was 70yo and only had a mild...
