The bike is long gone. The replacement battery was over $600 so I didn't adopt the bike. Good luck finding parts...

I found this at the dump today... Don't have a charger for it and not sure if the battery can be replaced. Any thoughts on whether this bike is worth rehabbing? Everything works except for the motor since the battery is dead.

Did you find an answer to this question? I'd be interested to know if you had any success attaching a hitch adapter.

I wouldn't worry too much about the motor itself. Find the bike that fits you and your needs. I have a bad knee that sometimes gives out so I end up pedaling with one leg. I've added 3rd-party motors to my cargo bikes (I use the Tongsheng TSDZ2 because I wanted a torque sensor system) and have a...

It’s Class 3 with a top speed of 28MPH. An add on throttle will go up to 20MPH.

The article from the Verge doesn't say *where* Trek will be shipping these new cargo bikes. The Fetch+ series doesn't show up on their US web site, but you can see all the details and marketing spin on their UK site here...

That PAS issue seems to be common with Lectric bikes. I have a few friends who ride them and they primarily use the throttle since they tell me the pedal assist is rather unreliable. Please post again if the display replacement resolved this for you.

I find most folks in my town who ride DTC e-bikes from Rad or Lectric are *always* using the throttle (I can hear the difference from the sound of the motor, and it's kind of obvious when the motor is whirring & they're not pedaling). I had hoped that Class 1, pedal-assist-only would be the...

Also, nice short article about the e-Coast at Electrek: https://electrek.co/2023/01/30/priority-e-coast-launched-electric-cruiser-bike/

Definitely a great price, but I'm not a fan of the single-speed, no-name hub motor. Is it UL tested? No mention on their web site. I've also found the fenders on the Coast bikes to be cheap, flimsy, and noisy. Fine for an occasional ride to the beach, but it would drive me crazy as a daily...

These are great around-town bikes. Still hard to find in the US if you're not in a major metro. Trek is entering this market in Europe with their upcoming "Fetch +4" front-loader bike, but I doubt we'll see it in the US any time soon...

After the December 19, 2022 CPSC letter to bike manufacturers, Consumer Reports posted article that said they reached out to 24 manufacturers and 18 didn't respond: It's still a crapshoot. As mentioned above, Bosch motors & batteries are all UL tested (odd that Consumer's didn't mention that)...

Is there any way to filter through the reviews to show only Class 1 bikes? There’s a “category” for Class 3, but I haven’t been able to find a similar category for Class 1. Advanced search doesn’t help, and I haven’t found any roundup of Class 1 bikes here in the forums. Why am I asking...

Cape Light Compact is running a point-of-purchase rebate program for residents on Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard. Details here: https://www.capelightcompact.org/ebikerebate/ The Cape Light Compact, with funding from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, is contracting with local bike shops to...

Good prediction - just got an email from Electra about this new Townie Go! 7D model for the US. It’s priced at $1749.99. They refer to the rear hub motor and integrated battery as “the Electra E-Bike System”...

Anyone have the scoop on this company? http://Scootdepot.com They are advertising all over Craigslist (red flag) for their “Pegasus 1” which appears to be a rebranded Jump ebike: https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bid/d/cambridge-wholesale-or-distribution/7247871958.html Hard to tell if they’re...

The new Sandy Pedals bike share scheme on Nantucket island is using these bikes (lots of photos on their Instagram). I'm a bit wary of that Truckrun motor, since it's not covered under Priority's warranty (they only warranty the frame and fork).

@Chris Nolte - any word on pricing/availability for the new Lundi 27?

The local regs say the bikes have to be labeled as “Class 1” by the manufacturer, which may be challenging since that kind of label isn’t common yet. Most of the bikes that have throttles aren’t great pedal-assist bikes, which is why they have throttles :) Bike shops here don’t do financing or...

I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a way to search the reviews for only Class 1 bikes. That doesn’t appear in the advanced search options. Any suggestions on how to do this?
