'' I had read on another post that mid-drive motors (at least some of them?) have a clutch mechanism so that the motor is disengaged under certain circumstances, so there shouldn't be any induction to create the drag. And the ShareRoller update yesterday in the threads here mentions that...

The question a lot of us have still is unanswered: When is the next opportunity to order one?????? I know that these delays are horrible for those that are in for this round of production, but I really want an e-bike drive just like this. I want to ride my bike as a bike when the conditions...

I have a Diamond back STI-8, which is a hybrid or 'city' bike with moderately narrow tires (not mountain bike style) and an 8 speed internally geared rear hub. It's pretty efficient and I bought the large frame size, so it also is right-sized for my height. What I would like to do is add...
