I don't care what the infrastructure is. My cut off is about 70 degrees, and I prefer 80+. And most people are far less likely to ride than me. It's not about infrastructure. It's just not going to happen. And despite many thousands of miles of biking that I've done for exercise, I have...

Does anyone know a free heart rate biking/exercise app that auto pauses heart rate monitoring when stopped for breaks? I have been using a combo of Sports Tracker and Endomondo in previous years. Since Endomondo was bought out and retired, I am using myWorkouts in its place. My heart rate...

Not everyone lives in a warm climate year round, regardless of the infrastructure. I ride an e-bike often from about May to Sept, especially June to August. But I never commute for various reasons. I do not see many other people biking at all during those months, and I can't imagine ever...

I mentioned this in another thread, but different states and municipalities can create their own spin on the definition of class 3 or any other class. "New York will define Class 3 bikes as those with a throttle-activated motor (and allowed only in New York City) with a maximum speed of 25 mph...

There are complaints from some people that it takes a day for them to respond to each email, and it can get dragged out a while, but most people seem satisfied in the end. They won't warranty moisture damage, so don't ride in the rain. And they won't warranty stripped crank threads due to...

Right, but not because of the throttle as was being discussed.

It's not necessarily a matter of "enforcement" but can be a difference in the laws in states / municipalities. For example: "New York will define Class 3 bikes as those with a throttle-activated motor (and allowed only in New York City) with a maximum speed of 25 mph before turning off."...

I'm not from CA or Europe, so it's not a problem for me. lol It's literally zero concern to me. You should re-read my posts. I never stated mine was class 2. I have stated it was class 3 and provided references to that in my previous posts.

I've never heard of anyone registering an e-bike with the DMV in CA. I don't register or insure mine. I don't live in CA, but there are a number of CA residents with class 3 throttle-equipped bikes like mine in the FB group. I have had it up to over 36 mph using muscular pedal power after the...

LOL Some states have relaxed restrictions, but I haven't seen anyone from any state, including CA, who is concerned about it. They could always remove the throttle easily enough if they were worried about it, and they would still get pedal assist to 28 mph (or faster using advanced menu change...

No, it says "28 mph pedal assist with 20 mph throttle". The "28 mph" cannot be ignored. So, 28 mph would not be class 2. It also states on the website product page specifically that it's class 3, and the emblem on the bike shows class 3. And it's the same bike. Again, I have the bike. On...

Some states have relaxed restrictions. It's mentioned on this website: https://electricbikereview.com/best-class-3-electric-bikes/ But, on the owners' FB group, I've never heard of anyone removing the throttle, even the many California riders. No one has ever reported an issue riding the...

It's pretty straight forward. I can assure that my bike is a class 3, provides assistance to 28 mph, and has a throttle. See below. This is the info for my bike: Class 3 designation emblem on head tube: Picture of throttle: Enjoy! :D

My class 3 bike has a throttle. Class 2 bikes still have PAS - they aren't limited to throttle only.

Add me to the this vote. My Ride1Up 700 came with these. Pure pleasure after years of riding a hybrid bike with much narrower tires. I also agree recommending against fat tire.

Bad analogy about guns. Just because your car has air conditioning, cruise control, or various other options, doesn't mean you have to use them if you don't want to. What about Class 2?

Here's at tip. Just because an e-bike has a throttle doesn't mean you have to use it. My R1U 700 has one, and I've only applied it a bit when first getting rolling to clip my SPD's in. In fact, I do most of my riding in PAS 0 saving assist for hills and headwinds. I've ridden motorcycles...

I'm interested in this bike as well. There's even more than one style. I like the idea of the quiet mid-drive motor using torque sensor based assist, but the reliability of those belt drive Brose motors is a concern as well. I don't know if there will be any customization of power levels like...

A throttle isn't "required" on a hub drive cadence sensor bike, either. I only use mine in brief spurts, usually when taking off from a stop, but I could manage fine without one. It's possible it could be very useful if I can't pedal the bike for some reason. So, I'm still glad to have it...

My rear tire on my 700 went flat after getting home due a nail, and I rode my hybrid with 35c tires for my next few rides. It has a suspension fork and Trek suspension seat post, but it was sure a pleasure to get back on my 700 with 2.4" tires with the gritty and bumpy roads I ride on. So much...
