Upgrades completed... for now. Fork bag, front and rear directionals operational, hard bags permanently mounted, new Tailbones more streamlined saddle, Shenkey hi output headlamp (with seizure inducing strobe mode), ElectraBlade logo on the downtube and battery blind with a “broken glass” finish...

Thank you Ann, you are very kind.

New bags! Really very difficult to modify and install. Several weeks work in my scant spare time. She’s coming along. Several more tweaks coming...

I got a free helmet with my Voltbike but my heads not circular so that didn’t work. I like the adjustable inner cage on the Giro helmet and it’s very light and not too pricey.

Hey Nova, do you think that is more marketing strategy or fact? Some of the prices I see on things aside from helmets are really excessive. Your thoughts?

I use a helmet similar to this one. Got it at Dicks sporting goods. Around 25 bucks. Light, lots of air holes and not too goofy looking. I have one in white and one in black. When it’s very sunny out I wear the lighter one and it’s not as hot.

It’s a great bike you’re going to have fun !

How did it go with your Trek? I’m thinking this might be next years upgrade but why not think ahead. I am going to inquire around with LBS and see if there is any interest. I am also thinking about putting the same motor in the rear to uncomplicate matters and have everything run off the same...

Yes, my friend. I guess I should’ve said a dual motor set up.

I recently did a DIY front hub on my Nirve Switchblade and I am very happy with it as it is but I am a “push the envelope” type of guy and now I am toying with the idea of an AWD bike.

It goes on and on for many miles. Lots of bench stops, changing elevations, in the woods, wide open etc. everyone loves it. It used to be an old railway.

The North end of the trail is in Brewster. Not far from the Tilly Foster farm.

Hey Kurt, I was out on the NCT on Saturday and while it was nice to be outside for awhile and give my new girl a twist.. the forest is still incredibly barren for this time of year. It is sooo beautiful in the deep summer with all of the associated sweet smells of everything growing and such...

I mean a motor that will fit on a bike that has 120 mm drop outs in the back. Thanks.

Good morning all. Is anyone aware of such a motor. I saw a toylike model online yesterday but I am curious if anyone knows of something like this that is 500 Watts minimum. Thanks.

No. It is not F’ ing spring yet. My apologies Ann and Court. I live in NY. I went out for my first Trailride on Saturday at 3:40 in shorts and a T-shirt. By 5 PM I was freezing to death. The temperature dropped 10° in one hour. And since then it has been just horrible here. The 10 day...

First warm weekend day in my neck of the woods and I took my new girl out for a spin to break her in, so to speak. My other bikes are geared so this is my first DD motor. Interesting diffence. On the flat the performance is what I am used to with my other bikes except this motor is really really...

Beautiful day on the trail today. First actual ride aside from neighborhood testing. This is a great ride. By dialing my pedal assist down to about 50 Watts (eco mode?) I was able to double my expected range. I was getting around 4 miles per AH. Throttling around my neighborhood I was getting...

Hey Kurt, this might give you a chuckle. How’s this for overkill? Lol https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/hi-tech-solution-to-a-low-tech-issue.15818/

That sounds great Kurt, will do. Right now I’m strapping on some new grips and getting ready to go for a ride! Message you later
