    Anggun and Epik SE

    Something I noticed while riding the Epik SE last night, either I had more strength than normal, or the smaller wheels do indeed make a noticeable difference when climbing hills. Gotta love that mechanical advantage. :) On the flip side, I also noticed the top speed from pedaling doesn't even...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    I received the Epik SE today and went for a maiden voyage tonight, and even got rained on a bit which was unexpected. Anyway, I'm really happy with this purchase so far. I admit I had a bit of an infatuation with the look of this bike, which played into my decision to buy it, and well, it does...

    Burn the motor while pedalling too hard?

    I don't know what kit or motor you have, but it should cut out (intentionally) before it gets overheated. Usually it will kick in again pretty quick, especially in cold weather. I've actually had this happen a couple of times with my Hill Topper kit going up steep hills. It does this to avoid...

    Burn the motor while pedalling too hard?

    I don't have the math answer with regard to affect of cold on the battery, but I have a question. Is this pedal assist or is the kit you ordered throttle only? The reason I ask is that even though you might get fairly limited range with a 10AH battery, especially in the cold, if you can force...

    How many of you change your own flat tires?

    After putting 100 miles on my e-Joe Anggun while riding alone, on Sunday I met up with a friend to ride around in Delaware along the river. Just 3 miles into our ride my rear tire went flat. The puncture was on the inside of the tube, and I'm pretty sure I know why. The rim tape was not fully...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    Well, this is a tidbit aimed at a very specific audience (possibly only me), but it is now confirmed the e-Joe Anggun 3.0 fits inside a second generation (2011) Honda Fit subcompact with saddle removed and front wheel removed (quick release). There's even room left over for an Epik SE, folded up...

    e-Joe KODA

    While not the Koda, I changed the top speed setting on my e-Joe Anggun from 32 to 40kph and it did not seem to make a difference. It still maxed out around 20mph, so I'm not sure if that setting is ultimately controlling the top speed. Again, I don't know if it is different with the Koda.

    Got my 1st "cheater" shout today

    Cheating what? Cheating who? People really don't think at all, they just react out of conformity. I haven't encountered this yet, but that might be mostly because where I live hardly anyone rides a bike at all (too many hills, no good biking infrastructure, lots of tiny country roads with fast...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    It is pretty amazing Ann. While I waited for the Hill Topper kit to arrive a few weeks ago, I did ride my Novara Aspen and managed to do a 10 mile trip. But along the way I had to get off the bike and walk it several times to make it up some steep and long hills. The first time I took the Hill...

    Anggun and Epik SE

    I think this is my third post here. I figured I'd drop a line and introduce myself and say I only discovered the ebike world a little over a month ago, but in that time I've gone down the rabbit hole. Of course, I knew this form of transport must exist, but it wasn't until a month or so ago that...

    e-Joe KODA

    I just got my Anggun last week and while going through all the settings, I came across the max speed setting. I wasn't sure if it was just a pre-programmed setting that wasn't activated on the Anggun. Now I know! I was going to try it at some point. Off the streets of course. ;)

    defunct

    I live within the eastern stretches of Amish country in Pennsylvania (rural suburban Philly), and there is no bicycle infrastructure to speak of. You are lucky if you find a main road that has relatively wide shoulders, otherwise it's small rural roads with no shoulder (typically they don't even...
