@Cameron Pemstein - Thanks for your comments. First, I don't care about the status quo of mountain biking as it exists today because I agree with the author of the story that I linked, its become an extreme sport and its no longer bringing significant new participation into cycling. Second...

@Vern - All good points. Thanks for your comments. A few things; There are plenty of fire roads and trails that don't dive too deeply into the single track that regular recreational riders could enjoy if they were fit enough, but they are generally not. I assume that you have the fitness level...

One of the many reasons that I believe eMountain Biking will be quite popular... "...the public image of mountain-biking has morphed into an extreme sport, all about young men throwing themselves off cliffs or down ravines. It's a frustrating misrepresentation, when for most of us, a...

Thanks Ravi - all very nice of you to say. Stay tuned. We are only just beginning...:)

Thanks Chris. That is nice of you to say. Its really a great time for the electric bike category as the technology has never before been so exciting and ready for prime time! Thanks for what your doing, as well and keep up the great work in the forum.

Court - Just an FYI, the throttle works as long as you are pedaling up to 20 mph. If your not pedaling at all, as you mention, only up to 6 mph. More info here on page 12...https://docs.google.com/a/currietech.com/file/d/0B6Yj3_-cPkFAS1k5X2FwaC1nN3c/edit Hope that helps!

Check out the 2014 IZIP Dash and Path+. Both have top ratings and are great values. http://electricbikereview.com/izip/e3-dash/ http://electricbikereview.com/izip/e3-path-plus/

Another good point, Chris.

The US system will have a top assisted speed of 32k/hr (20 mph), so higher averages will be available but the result will be lower range. Funny how that works :)

Hi Ravi - being around as long as we have at Currie Tech, we have learned that its best to understate range while attempting to be realistic about how the average person rides. With the Bosch system, it uses a lower wattage motor (in Eddie's case, 250w) which is much more efficient (greater...

Hi Eddie - A near 45 mile ride leaving 1/2 the battery capacity of the 400wh battery pack is quite impressive and means that your human power was doing much of the work (I'd estimate about 50% on average). I believe that you have a model year 2012 Haibike that has the original display and user...

Thanks Ravi! That is very nice of you to acknowledge.

Hi Ravi, The Haibike Xduro range will be available in the US around Memorial Day (end of May). As we get closer, check back and I'll direct you to a dealer nearest you.... All the new IZIP models are in stock now and receiving rave reviews. The new eFlow Flight with our new Speed wheels are...

Justin - The two bikes have completely different systems so its not possible to compare based on support level and top speed. I'd suggest that you use level 2 can compare.

Since your sharing Haibike videos, have you seen this? (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Thanks George. We are working hard to get the word out.

George, These industry analysts know very little about the US industry because there is no available data form a reputable tracking source like there is in the traditional bicycle industry. They attempt to aggregate information by calling around to industry leaders and participants and get...

Hi Justin - The bike is prewired for a lighting system that is powered by the system battery pack. Any 6v lighting system will work and in a few months will have one packaged as an accessory. We currently have a german B&M lighting system that will work and also works on all of our eFlows...

James - Thats true, but "saddle time" when your commuting, doing errands or riding for fun can vary widely. Most people just want to be comfortable regardless and a comfy saddle combines with a bit of padding that cycle shorts provide, generally cover all the bases.

Dave - You are clearly a well educated consumer. Congratulations on your process as this will insure your going to get a bike that is well matched to your preferred riding.
