@Link Removed I'm guessing you missed Atticus questions since he didn't address his post directly to you. I'd be interested in the same info he's requesting, so please share what you can. Thanks!

Good review. You can both hear and 'feel' how pleased Court is with this folder. One suggestion I made to Court: Including 'package dimensions' with these folder reviews. Two settings where I see much interest in (and also use of) folders are airplane drivers and boaters, both of whom are...

@Link Removed you asked, "I am curious also how much the bigger batteries will cost and when they will be available." I suppose an indication of that cost is reflected in the JR support webpage. The mid-size (23 Ah) battery is +$300 and the large (32Ah) battery is quoted at +$1000 over the...

Austen, thanks for your reply. Essentially, you've changed your manufacturing model so it's easy to imagine the ripple effect that brings with it.

@Chandlee EBS what ebike computer might you recommend a buyer choose to partner with this bike, given it's limited control-only display?

@Bike_On: Very helpful reply! Thanks, Dan. I very much appreciate you steering me to the Opti owners group at Google, too. I can't help but think that part of Opti's pricing is a function of their location. Boulder is not an inexpensive place to live, altho' I understand Jim has also...

@Allroad Commuter, thanks for mentioning the demo sale, Phuong. I wish I was able to consider that demo as I notice that Jim now has priced a new Allroad at $3500 and, given the broad, diverse selection of ebikes now, that's higher than I must spend for what I need. Which is a shame, since I...

Maybe it's just due to the l-o-n-g list of ebike brands here plus the absence of a current Optibike review from Court, but I'd missed researching Optibike until I ran into two excellent tutorial interviews with Jim Turner. I do have a question for you Optibike owners, but first wanted to point...

Mel, thanks for sharing your initial review. As your probably know, Nirmala is another recent Magnum owner and also has thought highly of it. If you could find a moment, I'd welcome hearing you comment further on a couple of things re: the Ui5: -- have you used it on any unpaved, grass and/or...

Nirmala, where do things stand now for delivery of Sharerollers? What are you early buyers hearing?

Viewing this in concert with Court's very recent review of the 500W Front Range EBO kit gives one a good idea of what EBO does well and perhaps also not so well. In this case, I was troubled by the location of what appears to be the connector for the critical battery-motor conductor. It's...

I'm sure many tech-savvy folks here already know this, but I've been curious how Court manages to take all these video shots - especially those when he's riding - while keeping the image upright. Court's switching hands, changing gears. showing the rear hub, now videoing the scene ahead...and...

milliamp I agree. And it isn't just about learning more about ebikes. It's also learning what a person's actual, practical envelope of use will be for an ebike. After the honeymoon is over, how much practical value and recreational enjoyment an ebike will offer the new owner is unknown until...

Beautiful photos, Ron. Lots of sizzle to go along with your new steak.

David1 that's encouraging news. Thanks for the update. How long to receive them, and what was the shipping + customs duty costs beyond the price of the Winglights, please? Let us know what you think once you've used them at night a while.

Thanks, J.R. - more grist for the mill, since you're reporting experience with the two chemistries I seem to be hearing about. Very helpful. We can see e.g. why Ridekick chooses LiFePO4 chemistry: the weight isn't as important for their product and the cycle life gain is beneficial. I don't...

Excellent info. Thanks to you both. Ravi, you could tell I didn't think Battery University was the be all/end all on this subject. Can you perhaps provide us all with an on-line reference or two that might be more relevant to the LiMnCo chemistry that you describe as more relevant to the...

George, I've read the Battery University entry you cited but their description of charge voltages vs. battery lifecyles - and their entire article - seems to be referring to the Lithium-ion Polymer (LiPo) type battery chemistry. (They really could/should be more specific about the Li battery...

Thanks for the clarification, MLB. New news for me, Ravi. Thank you.

JoePah, re: your Q about partial charging extending battery life (or put differently, slowing the loss of battery capacity over time), so far I haven't found that supported by any of the battery technical articles and user blogs I've been reading. George, I know you've moved to an adjustable...
