    2014 Battery Failure?

    That totally sucks. Specialized and their dealer ought to make this up to you, somehow.

    "No Electric Bikes Allowed"

    FWIW, that website does not represent any official governmental agency, and doesn't seem to be very current. AFAIK, none of the actual SART signs specifically call out electric bicycles. Addendum: I can't find anything else on the web regarding restriction of electric bikes on SART (or any...

    Is there a dongle for the Evo Race?

    Probably dumb idea ... What would happen if one configured the controller for smaller tires than actual? Would this cause the controller to disengage PAS at a higher actual speed?

    Battery replacement years from now ...

    Here is the response I got from BH: That puts my mind at ease, especially considering how long BH has been around.

    Battery replacement years from now ...

    Thanks. Any leads on such companies? I wonder if any would be willing to deal with BH's case design. Side question: How does BH deal with battery replacement in general? Do customers send in their batteries to be repacked? I sent an email to BH asking these questions, and will share any...

    Battery replacement years from now ...

    Noob here. Because I'm hoping to use my future Evo (Jet or Cross) on a daily 24m commute for years to come, I expect I will have to replace the battery periodically (2-3 years?). The BH battery cases are designed to blend into the frames, so how long might BH manufacture batteries for a given...

    My 2015 EVO Street Has Arrived!

    I agree, it would be very useful in the field to provide users with some rudimentary diagnostics. I wouldn't be surprised if some diagnostic mode is already implemented, but requires some secret button sequence.

    My 2015 EVO Street Has Arrived!

    Hi PowerMe. Just curious, why are you replacing the light that came with your Street? I'm looking at the Evo Jet or Cross now, which don't come with lights. I watched a video on the 2014 Neo Cross last night, and the reviewer said integrated lights could be added. I'm wondering what the...

    My 2015 EVO Street Has Arrived!

    22" would likely be the Evo City.

    Effect of rider weight on range and climb ability?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm not concerned with speed, since it's a relatively short distance. I've sort of ruled out the mid drive for my first bike, due to cost, and I suspect options for mid drive will improve a lot in the next couple of years. Worst case scenario is I will have to take a...

    Electronic issues with latest models?

    I was at a local bike shop yesterday, and was informed that they temporarily could not get the latest Evo models due to some sort of glitching during hill climbs that they are waiting for BH to address. Anybody heard anything about this?

    Effect of rider weight on range and climb ability?

    Court just informed me (in comments under the Evo City Wave review) that the estimated ranges for both bikes should be about 30-50mi (there was a copy error in the tables). In any case, I am still wondering about the impact of rider weight on overall performance.

    Effect of rider weight on range and climb ability?

    How significantly does rider weight impact an electric bike's range and ability to climb? As background, I am considering buying Easy Motion's Evo City Wave or Evo Jet. The Jet is 5.5 lbs lighter, but has a significantly better range (Jet is 35-55mi vs. City's 20-45mi), which is surprising...

    Bosch City Wave?

    Thanks guys. Good to know about the different Bosch lines. The only thing giving me pause (aside from the $4k MSRP :eek:) is that I think I read somewhere that the Bosch drive will cut out at 20MPH, whereas the hub drives will allow faster speeds (while pedaling). Is that right? I don't...

    Bosch City Wave?

    Thank you for replying! Yes, the mid-drive appeals for the hills in my area. I'm looking for a commuter (24mi round trip) that will be comfortable, functional, and reliable for the long haul. I'm 5'10"/138 pounds/30" in-seam, so not sure if Bosch City Wave is big enough. I found one...

    Bosch City Wave?

    Noob here very intrigued with the Easy Motion Bosch City Wave after reading Court's review, but I am not finding much else on this bike on the web. Anybody here have any opinions on this bike?
