    E-Bike Suggestions : $3000 Budget

    As I tell most of my customers, leave it to the test ride. Have multiple locations using 20+ bikes for bike shares I think makes a statement about the reliability with riders averaging 8 miles commutes (one way). After sales service and support with IZIP is probably in line with being on par...

    E-Bike Suggestions : $3000 Budget

    In full disclosure, I've sold IZIP/Raleigh and still do. I've never carried Specialized but have tried them out. A well known software company is doing a bike share in the area and decided on the Dash vs the Turbo due to the ride and the pricing. Their opinion on the specialized was that the...

    @MLB does your walk-mode work? I know initially walk-mode was only enabled on the Euro Spec Haibikes.

    A pre-built bike that you can buy online for work commuter? $3.5K budget

    2015 IZIP Dash - Small Frame less than $2500. 2015 IZIP's are on closeout right now. It's worth a look, but try to test ride any bikes before purchase if possible.

    Need help picking first E-Bike

    @Logan Gogarty The Diamondback Trace is the exact bike I was referring to. Due to the additional weight of a hub motor, it's always nice to have a shock, as sometimes going over bumps can be a bit jarring, especially with 700c tires that tend to ride at a higher PSI (tire pressure). An...

    Need help picking first E-Bike

    The Express is a Monster with a Belt Drive. Definitely different than the rest of the IZIP line with a large capacity battery. It is a heavy bike though but nice components The Dash is a popular model for commuting (28mph), if you are looking at Diamondback, the Trace EXC is the Diamondback...

    Need help on haibike fs/rx

    Depending on how many miles you have on your bike and how you ride, I've already had to replace the front chain ring for a customer who managed to rack up 6000 miles in 9 months. Also if you check the derailleur, the stock derailleur (should be Deore or SLX) has a gray lever/clutch that will...

    Closing in on my first bike

    @zachpas where are you located? Definitely as stated. Test ride the bikes before choosing as both bikes are weighted a little different and feel different. The Pedego CC has a rear rack battery and the IZIP E3 Dash has a center mounted battery. In the performance dept, the Dash is a little more...

    ????

    @Rick Ingraham there's a little more to worry about when it comes to using a rear hub on a trail. I think the main concern deals with maintenance and changing a flat. Mid drive = standard tube change process without having to negotiate your way with a 10lb hub. Hubs should generally be ok with...

    Haibike SXDURO RX 29"

    Unfortunately the SDURO's are not released for sale yet in North America and are barely being announced at Interbike. If you are looking at any of the Haibike Mountain designated bikes (non-trekking), these will not support any racks other than a seatpost rack. Most of the Full Suspension...

    I think it's important that we stay inclusive to any and every body. As every one is entitled to their own opinion, it's important not to let that be translated into judgement. For some the route is to build an eBike, but for others, this may be an intimidating process, or one may just not have...

    Looking for my first eBike for commuting / taking on the train

    @Peter Schnebly please check with the train you are taking prior to purchasing and make sure you are ready to assume the risk just in case as some trains do not allow eBikes aboard. It's hit and miss in Los Angeles as most of our Municipal trains do not allow eBikes aboard as well as the...

    @Cyclemom it depends on what your definition of affordable is. With eBikes specifically, you get what you pay for. The current sway of the industry is to go for a Mid drive or Center drive motor. Currently Bosch is the most popular, however, Bosch bikes start at a price point of about $3500+...

    Diamondback selling off their ebikes

    We had a couple of DB's and they're great bikes and sold quick so we've ordered some more. The Lindau is a chance for the folks who loved the 2014 Path Plus frames to still get one and the Trace is a good cousin to the IZIP Dash, nevertheless, both are worth a test drive especially if you're...
