    Quick release latch issue

    The plastic part is just there to make sure the clamp doesn't open (come unlocked) on its own, but the part that actually does the locking is a ball-shaped piece of metal that inserts into the clamp. I must admit, I did just check my Epik SE (owned for about 6 weeks) and the clamp has more play...

    Folding eBike Suggestions for a Technomadic RV Garage?

    I just measured again, and indeed, it's 21" from the brake lever on one side to the folded pedal on the other side. Even from the brake lever to the derailleur it's nearly 20".

    Folding eBike Suggestions for a Technomadic RV Garage?

    Not sure. I can check again when I get home, but I measured it twice. I would say the majority of the bike's folded width is indeed within 17", but the very edge of the brake lever on one side and the folded pedal on the other was definitely several inches wider than that.

    Folding eBike Suggestions for a Technomadic RV Garage?

    I'm not sure if two will fit side-by-side if constrained by 32". Two side-by-side would be 42", but it's probably possible to situation them in a way that makes that less than 40", but 32" seems a stretch. Good luck!

    Death on a Sondors

    @BatteryPower All of what you say can be true, and it still doesn't mean we have any clue what caused this tragic accident.

    Death on a Sondors

    Somebody in this thread needs a lesson on causality.

    Folding eBike Suggestions for a Technomadic RV Garage?

    I forget to post back with the folded dimensions of the e-Joe Epik SE. My Epik SE folded measures: 36" long x 21" wide x 35" high However, that 35" height can be as little as 26". 36" is from the fold to the edge of the front wheel (which sits back slightly further than the back wheel when...

    Optimizing the E-Joe Epik Se

    I guess the question is, what do you intend to use the electric assist for? Because obviously if exercise was the only motivation, a regular bike would suffice. But, there are of course legitimate reasons to go electric, even if exercise is a goal. One reason to use electric assist is to tackle...

    Optimizing the E-Joe Epik Se

    Although, the stock gearing and smaller wheels do improve leverage on hills, I agree on flat roads there is a desire for some higher gears for speed.

    Does Epik SE seat go high enough for tall people?

    For a "small" folding bike, I was amazed how big the Epik SE is after I got it unboxed. I'm 6' with 32" inseam (same as OP) and I have the seat adjusted a good 5-6" below it's highest safe level. I also have the handlebars adjusted several inches below the highest setting. Honestly, I don't feel...

    E Joe Epik SE fatal flaw

    I haven't had my Epik SE long enough to comment on weather durability, however, the first two times I road it, I got unexpectedly rained on. The first time was minimal, although it was enough to get the road completely wet in some locations. The second time was a bit more (although far from...

    Folding eBike Suggestions for a Technomadic RV Garage?

    I've owned the e-Joe Epik SE for a few weeks now, so I'll try to address some of your requirements as they relate to this model. I can't speak to the folded dimensions at the moment (but I can get them later when I get home), but I can tell you I feel perfectly comfortable on this bike at 6' and...

    E-Joe electric kick scooter on kickstarter launched

    I think it's pretty neat, and if I had a use for a scooter I'd consider it. I see no issue with them branching out.

    Anggun and Epik SE

    @K9Leader: I was just in Newark (Univ. of DE) last week for a conference. The Enzo looks like a great choice. I watched Court's review of the Enzo, and it uses a variation of the same frame I've seen used on a number of ebike folders, including the Epik Lite and SE. I think it's a nice looking...

    How many of you change your own flat tires?

    I thought I'd mention, for those with AAA car coverage, earlier this year they added coverage for your bike as well. If you are stranded with a bike problem, they will pick you up, and drive you home or to a bike shop, no additional charge. This applies to the two higher AAA tiers Plus and...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    I've ridden about 17 miles on the Anggun in the low 50s, with a lot of hills, and averaging 13-14mph, and still had more than half the battery left. I have no doubt it could make it to/from on the route I took on Sunday. The previous Sunday I rode about 19 miles on the Anggun in the upper 60s...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    Yesterday I took the Epik SE out for a second ride and biked 33.87 miles on the Chester Valley Trail in the Philly burbs (from Exton to King of Prussia). About 4 miles beyond the eastern end of this trail is my office, and I decided (last minute) to continue all the way to my office (which I...

    Problems with the Forum

    I can confirm this as well. I've seen my post count go between 13 and 14 multiple times without actually posting. :) And right now it says 13, and a post I replied to in the Compare forum is missing.

    Anggun and Epik SE

    Well, this is a (second) tidbit aimed at a very specific audience (again, possibly only me), but the e-Joe Epik SE fits (folded) in the back of a second generation (2011) Honda Fit without folding down the rear seats. That's actually pretty awesome! I know, I get excited by seemingly mundane...
