I have the Bosch Performance CX motor. I have noticed a vibration/resonance that seems to happens only when I am in too low a gear with too high a level of assist. I am still relatively new to the bike and this will happen when getting ready for a steep incline. I get into the lowest gear and...

Looks like China will build it themselves.... https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/china-highspeed-maglev-prototype/index.html Maybe they are just quick studies from the Transrapid relationship.

Plenty of front row seats available on their new 372MPH maglev train.

I've only had my R & M Nevo GH Vario for about 6 months now so I don't have a ton of miles yet but my style of riding seems to match yours. I live in Los Angeles but avoid the main streets as much as possible and am content to wander on side streets since I have no time constraints. Although...

"Right now, we wanted to design a bike that we would like to ride ourselves. It's really in a class of its own. " That is all well and good, but this segment from "Joe Dirt" comes to mind: The bike is gorgeous but how big could that particular market be?

I would suggest a general use commuter bike be a step thru design but you might just offer both frame styles. Also Ti seems too $$ for a commuter bike. For low maintenance I think the Roloff or Nuvinci/Enviolo hubs and belt drive are great ideas. Those were high priorities for me but I an just...

Most of the Riese Muller models are rated at 350# so plenty of capacity to carry stuff.

In a rare moment of foresight, I ordered a step thru R + M last year. When I rode it the first few times, I found myself habitually swinging my leg over the top. I thought briefly, hmmm, maybe I didn't need a step thru. Then I banged my shin on the rack the other day and I congratulated...

Exactly! It is not a nickel and dime affair. It is death by Grants and Benjamins.

It just "feels" like ABS will be become a standard with bicycles. Maybe it's just a sign of the times, but I am amazed at all the cautions and warnings and disclaimers that come with a bicycle nowadays. It's the seatpost, the handlebars, the QR, the battery, the brakes, the tires, etc. It...

I was going to post to the CCX thread but I might as well post here. I am also a new e-bike rider, only about 250 miles on the odometer. I was just a casual rider back in my 20's. It was more about fiddling with pretty frames ( Schwinn Paramount and English Hetchins bikes) and beautiful...

I splurged on this Ergotec M99 from Chris at Propel. It was too much but I loved the look and it is a very hi-quality item.

I've only added two things, one, the decal, for no reason other than I just like it and two, the mirror, which is the best safety item ever for a sloppy rider like me.

I haven't tried measuring the battery itself, I just go by the bars and the remaining assist available. When it is down to 2 bars and the range is single digit for either Eco or Turbo, I charge the battery. I have only charged it about 5 times. The first few charges I cut it off at about 5...

Finally drying out here in SoCal. This is a view from a parking structure in Hollywood. No problem getting up to the top levels with a motor! And you get to come flying down afterwards!

Ever since I was young, I've wanted to explore each and every street in the entire city. What's up that street? What's that neighborhood like? The thoughts would come and go throughout my working career. I considered options on how to go about it, once the time came. By car? No, too...

Had a chance to visit Chris at Propel down in Long Beach. If you want to see a lot of Riese Muller, they are a must visit. Did I say they have a lot of them? They have ALL of them on display in a snazzy new showroom. Chris is super swell too!

I was only interested in R&M so it was LA Fly Rides in Hollywood or Propel in Long Beach. The people at LA Fly Rides are super.

I would suggest that if you use a mass transit bike cage or a work building bike cage or a residential apartment bike cage or are on any campus anywhere, you need to get your Defcon level up to 3 or 4 or at a minimum several levels above everyone else (in the cage). These are areas that thieves...

I think I'll add a pair of these to my Defcon 1 level. I need something to deter a casual theft of my QR front wheel while I have the cafe lock activated. And maybe 2 of them together for my seat. My seat is not that expensive but the Thudbuster seat post is and riding home without a seat...
