Winter is coming. And I just realized that the new improved OM mount for my Bike Friday pakiT precludes me mounting my rear fender :-(. So I either need to find a different fender that can mount in another manner, or install the front mount for the OM at least for winter. No rains projected any...

Okay, did 15 miles today. First of all the new mounts (thanks, guys!) are 3d printed in-house and are a much better fit than my original ones. There is practically no slack once installed and so the roller movement is perfectly controlled. On roads where in the past I would sometimes get some...

Got my OM back, gave it the briefest of test rides on a smooth path yesterday. The motor transition from a stop to taking off now is incredibly smooth, you don't even really feel it engage, it just goes. And there's no longer the effort required to push from the stop to get it to engage, if you...

My unit is due to be delivered back to me on Monday, hurray!!!! Once I get it set up and test out the new functionality, I will post an update.

Once you've had a chance to get your bike fitness back, you'll find the OM excels as an adjunct to riding. Once I got past the excitement of the "new toy" and stopped using it constantly because it was fun, I got back to riding how I initially intended. Because of the super light weight, it can...

They are kind of consumed right this second with getting the new 3d printer going. They were using another source, not in-house, and were not happy with the quality and attention to detail so they are going to make the mounts and printed parts themselves. Hang in there, they'll get back to you...

My motor, controller and PAS sensor are on the way to New York to get all the new software updates!!! From what I've heard, they really make a positive difference to an already good system. Can't wait to get it back =).

New update sent out to backers, so if you're one, check your spam folders. OM has received new investment capital.

I'm glad what you do works for you. Your solution would absolutely not work for me for many reasons but I'm glad it works for you. My solution (OM) meets my needs, which are different than yours. Because your solution does not meet my needs does not make it a bad solution and just because OM...

My son lost his key to his bike locked outside his apartment. I cut his NY Kryptonite luck with an angle grinder in less than 60 seconds. There are lots of videos on You Tube of people in NY just walking along as someone cuts a lock sending sparks everywhere. You clearly live in a small or...

I know OM has worked out some kind of financing deal, don't know the details though. With 2 bikes the cost seems extremely reasonable. I also like that if I get a new bike in the future it can be transferred over, I won't need to get a new kit. If you ride to work and to shop, then what you...

First, the removed OM is safe from theft or vandalism. Second, you can use it on multiple bikes (I do). You can even take it on vacation and use it on a friend's bike or a rental. It is also airline approved. You can't do any of that with a dedicated e-bike. Also, it only adds 4.5-6.5lbs to...

@dermbrian Hope this helps. I keep my battery in a bag which just clips on the seat post, but the OM comes with a topeak bracket for the battery and on/off is less than 10 seconds. I use the bag because it works better on my bike friday pakit which I fold often (the handlebars go over the top of...

Well, first of all, no one owes potential users any videos or anything else, right? It takes time to do what you are asking and there's no benefit to the owner by doing it. That said, if I can find a way to prop up my phone I'll see what I can do about filming what you would like to see. Keep in...

There are reviews from 4 different owners on this website. OM isn't a big enough brand to be reviewed by bike magazines or the major websites. Court charges to review devices on EBR.

I'm sure Jeff and Grace will find a way for payment you are comfortable with - give them a few days as they get tons of emails. The only weight on the bike if you want to ride unmotored is the mount (less than 200 grams). Even with the battery and motor it is 4.5 or 6.5 lbs (depending on which...

The OM gives you options so right in your wheelhouse. You can ride with the phone app open+PAS (no handlebar controller), you can ride with handlebar controller only, you can ride with handlebar controller+PAS. You cannot ride with the PAS alone - you must have either the handelbar controller...

I would think you will get the newest software but you can always ask them (phone/email/facebook chat). I initially was not going to get the PAS either - they convinced me to try it. Now I cannot imagine riding without it. The joystick is quite tiny and imo not comfortable to hold for more...

Ooooh.....now I really gotta send mine back to get updated, sounds great. thx.
