christob, here is what you need. These guys innovate a lot of equipment for e-bikes: http://www.ebikes.ca/product-info/cycle-satiator.html They sell on their Amazon shop, but often sold out. Hard to get, but worth the effort.

I'll have hazmat approval for North America, so yes! I will be offering free shipping to the lower 48 and would have to check into pricing and regulations for your location. I'd certainly pay part of the shipping up to the maximum I pay for U.S. shipping. Ride safe!

Harry, currently the commuter bikes have half twist throttles and the cruisers have thumb throttles on the left side. They are class 2 and easily hit 20 MPH uphill. The cruisers and step-thru are currently 7-speed, but I'm already planning to change to Deore 10 speed components to match the...

Almost all bike frames and components are made in China or Taiwan. The bias against their quality should be relative to the market they are trying to serve and the "price is king" mentality of many buyers. Also remember that the explosive growth markets like Eastern Europe, South America and...

I know about the model names. They painted the bikes and asked if I wanted decals on them before the clear coat was applied. I designed those in about 15 minutes, inadvertently naming the Tailwind the same as a Schwinn e-bike. LOL No wonder it sounded familiar! Just out of curiosity, what types...

If you travel a lot, or travel in groups, get Hazmat certification ($29.95 online course - takes 30 minutes) and you can ship batteries with bikes as long as you follow the rules. Certification lasts 3 years. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Court, I'd also like to join the chorus with a deserved thank you, not only for inspiring me as a rider, but as an entrepreneur. I've been a lurker for a while, gathering insights and opinions from your reviews, and inspiration and real-world wisdom from the anecdotes and enthusiasm of your...

BikeFlight. Prices can't be beat and Fed Ex/UPS will pick it up at your door or ship bike shop to bike shop. They also have boxes and everything else you may need in advance. International also. I'm starting an e-bike line (like everyone else, or so it seems) and using them for shipping...
