Yesterday I test rode a GoCycle G2. (I believe they have the G3 available in Europe, but not yet in the U.S.) It was fun to ride, so I started doing some research. Court tested the G2 last year, but aside from that their is not a ton of information. And, there is not a GoCycle forum here...

Hello LSS. I also live in MA, and we are lucky to have so many dealers within reasonable driving distance. I was able to test ride several bikes before deciding on the Stromer ST1 - but it does not have a throttle. I first looked at a conversion kit for my recumbent, and decided that wasn't...

Always - no matter if I am riding the Stromer or another bike. 2 reasons: 1) last summer I was walking my folding non-ebike is a beach parking lot, and decided to take a few steps backward to look at a camper parked in the lot. Turns out my little bike had somehow gotten behind me and I went...

I have 3 bikes, and they all have Brooks saddles (67S - with springs for my sore back). I have been told that you can tell whether a Brooks will work for you fairly quickly - even on a short test ride. If it is really uncomfortable right off the bat, it is likely never going to be really...

Sorry - Local Bike Store. I bought my ST1 at a store in a bordering state (my LBS doesn't sell Stromer), but wanted them to help with the fit.

Yes. I had the LBS put in a small riser - kept the same handlebars. Much more comfortable for my neck and shoulder. I'm still not 100% happy with the riding position, but it could be I have my saddle too far back.

What type of hitch is that? I have a Burley trailer, using the standard rear-wheel hitch. I like the looks of the one in the photo - is it moveable from bike to bike?

Wide Eyez visor. It mounts on any helmet. I have one, but have not yet mounted it on my spare helmet. I am using a Giro Air Attack, and have both the clear and tinted visors. I also wear glasses, and the visors fit perfectly over both my sunglasses and regular glasses. I like the protection...

I understand that any lock can be defeated - and that is discouraging since I want to use my bike as a car replacement. When I get out of my car, I just hit a button to lock it, and walk away. I don't want to spend 10 minutes putting 3 locks on my bike, and another 10 getting them off - for a...

I ordered my click-stand, and it arrived this week. I think it is going to be a good solution. I ordered the Max - 5, which is the heavy duty, 5 part model. Tom - who makes each click-stand by hand, suggested I measure 3 places for where the click-stand might work: the seat rails, the rear rack...

I had my LBS swap out the stock stem for a slightly up-angled stem - as Ann M suggested. It works great for me and my sore back/neck. I also use Ergon grips so I can move my hands around a bit and lessen the pressure on my shoulders and neck. Finally, I have a Brooks 67S saddle that has...

Shouldn't this post be in the "For Sale" forum?

PowerMe: EXACTLY what happens to me. I never get lost driving, but riding I am lost 90% of the time.

I don't see that it has built in GPS/mapping. It does seem to track where you've gone, but not give directions - which is what I need. "TURN RIGHT - OK, you missed it. Turn around, and try again." Maybe I'll stick with the Garmin or Mio. Also, when I left MS for Apple products in 2009, I vowed I...

I am not that impressed with the Apple Watch. I am all-in with Apple products, and would like a GPS cycling computer. I don't really need the high-end stuff like heart rate, power meters, etc. I just don't see the Apple Watch as the solution. Of course, that could all change with a visit to the...

I'm waiting to see the Apple Watch - which I think is going to be introduced Monday. It might be too small for GPS, but might be better than my i-Phone mounted on a handle bar. Which Garmin are you using?

Be sure you call before going - I don't think the shop is open full time in the winter. I love my Stromer - but again, was only able to ride it a short time before we got hammered with snow. For specifics on extended real world experience, go to the Stromer forum on this site, and look for Gus'...

Hello Bud- there is a really good e-bike dealer in NH - E-Bikes of New England, in Derry. That is where I bought my Stromer. When I was up there, I noticed he had a recumbent in the shop and was adding a BionX kit for the owner. I think it was a trike. He might be a good resource for creating...

Hello Bud - Just to be clear, I think you are asking about an e-bike vs. a non electric recumbent. If that's not it, feel free to ignore my answer. I also have back issues - but they are minor compared to what you describe. I sold my recumbent in September (Bacchetta/Corsa SS) and bought a...

Hi JoePah - I absolutely agree, but most of what people (including me) have done is replace the stock items with personal preferences. For me, it was the seat, grips, rear rack. Then I added a light, mirror, and locks. I think those are just required bike accessories. I hope to use the Stromer...
