Perfect compromise if you always want to exert effort when commuting. If you want the added benefit of no effort commuting on your ebike, then there is a compromise to be considered.

When I refer to complexity, it is about the complexity of the overall solution. I guess this can be good or bad. Higher complexity means that off warranty, the cost of repair/replacement will be high.

I have both a mid drive FS RX and rear hub Net Jet. The mid drive does not "revolutionize" the experience. I'm not sure the cost benefit is there yet. It is a very complex system.

After owing an number of ebikes for a year now, this last weekend I used one bike to commute to my barber shop with the goal of doing as little effort as possible on my Neo Jet so I did not show up a sweaty mess, 6 miles round trip with some hills as I ride past NIH on Old Georgetown Road. I...

If I loose 10 lbs of fat, do I basically turn my FS RX into that bike. Does it work that way?

Compared to the Apple Watch EDITION this is a bargain.

A smaller motor will be lighter. Personally, I downgraded from 500w geared to 350w and don't miss the minor difference in acceleration as much as the improved experience due to the reduced unsprung weight and reduced noise.

@stevenast, I have had a vibration since the bike was new. It occurs at 16 mph on the dime goes away and comes back around 18 mph. To have it addressed the motor will need to be sent to Bosch given the LBS here was not able to do anything. I live in MD and the season is so short that I don't...

@PowerMe, three bars is not bad if you are in PAS 2+. It all depends on hills, wind, speed, and assist level. I wonder if it works like this, at 8 mph if there is assist then you are providing 6 mph of effort and then 2 mph of assist. If you go 12 mph, you are providing 8 mph of effort and...

My 50 lbs Haibike is the most I would ever take on single track, would not want to go any heaver. at 5i0 lbs it is hard to push up hill, pick a line, and often loses traction going up hill on roots and takes some skill to recover. I would rather have a 40 lbs bike and forgo the rear...

That seems about right. Needed parts for my former Pedego and it took a few weeks. One, when did your LBS put in the order, two, how responsive is the manufacturer, and three, how soon does the LBS get back to you. In my case there were delays in each phase. I think the turn around was three...

This weekend I pulled my oldest 9 year old son, 75 lbs using the 2014 neo jet for 20 miles. I kept the speed pretty low since there is no suspension in the kid carrier. When I went up hill usually was in one of the lowest gears doing 8 mph or less with the motor helping at a low level. Used...

Now that I'm doing more off road work, there have been a few cases where I have had to walk the bike up steep sections with roots and could really have used this. The bike is pretty heavy when your footing is questionable.

I have a frame bag that can carry a water bottle but don't use it off road. For off road I use a very light weight washable backpack.

I think they put the crap saddle because it keeps the weight down and it looks really good on the bike with its matching graphics. All about sales. Net Jet had the same sort of cardboard saddle as well. They get replaced immediately in my home.

I am seeing a very similar range on a '15 FS RX running knobby nicks at 50 psi. I notice that moving let's say from eco to touring can almost double the power usage (20% to 40% eyeballing it) and I get like 3 mph more maybe? Given that, your eco range would seem in the ball park. In three...

Can you post larger images, these are too obfuscated.

@stevenast, a buzzy feeling is exactly what is feels like. You can feel in in the handle bar and the cranks.

Hi, My 2015 FS RX has a vibration at around 16 mph when pedaled. It is just at that speed. I am wondering if others have experienced anything like that. It appears to happen if there assist or not. I has something similar early on around 13 mph and the LBS said some of the mounting bolts...

Given how bulky solid SUP board are, have you considered an inflatable?
