    How Much Cardio Can You Get From Electric Bikes?

    This is the exact route which convinced me to upgrade my battery-capacity! I have a buddy in Yacht Haven I've been threatening to visit, and decided that for the next trip I'd Acela down to DC from NYC with my eBike, then bike to his place. I've driven up and down the GW Parkway plenty of times...

    Bosch system startup issue

    Curious: do you have the Intuvia? You get assist by continuously holding down the minus-button? Any idea what level of assist you get with this configuration? Will the system work normally afterwards?

    Bosch system startup issue

    I have a similar issue with my original 400Wh PowerPack that got a good smash when it fell off the roof of my car when I was doing about 30MPH. The case cracked, and the test-button no longer illuminates the battery's LEDs. The battery charges fine, and when it works, it works well...getting the...

    What Mount for Moving the Headlight to the Handlebars?

    I installed one of these recently. Decent quality and good price, although I could imagine its aluminum supports snapping if given a good smash. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7LXWU6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_yPmTjHGUkirKO

    I'm pretty sure this was a set-up, but it still made me laugh. Bike "Accident"

    Ebikes - Narrow, rocky trails? Not so sure...

    Hey Kurt, Forgive me if I've asked already, but where in CT do you ride? I'm from LI, but lived a good portion of my adult-life in Fairfield and the Lower Naugatuck Valley. I used to ride a gas-bike and only recently got into eMTB. Regretting I didn't start earlier in life since I know of MANY...

    Where to get parts?

    I just ordered two items from RideWill on eBay. The shipping was slightly less than on their website, and since these were separate items (and twice the shipping charge) I contacted them and was granted a further shipping-cost reduction. Still, these international shipping-charges are...

    bike speed RS Tuning Dongle

    Yep, got one this time last-year. Has worked great. Like MarkPNB, I have a CX. Speed indicator is reliable EXCEPT that it’ll spike momentarily every so often. I may have seen it happen twice, but I know it must happen often enough that after a year and over 2000-miles logged, my motor’s memory...

    Ebikes - Narrow, rocky trails? Not so sure...

    Don't know what you're riding, but I have a FatSix with a Bosch CX. I basically leave it on Eco (50%) all the time, and as Rich suggests, I crank it up if I'm hitting an unusually steep section of any trail I'm on. The CX is VERY responsive. I heard the latest firmware-update replaces the...

    Don't make sharp turns or U-turns?

    Had to look up the bike...and this promotional-photo made me laugh. PS: NEVER ride a chain-driven conveyance whilst wearing a gigantic women's scarf. Aslo: men shouldn't use hair-dye.

    Who has had premature drivetrain failures with a Mid drive ?

    It's a HaiBike FatSix. 16T front, so I use the uppers a lot when road-riding. Unfortunately, this model's front cog is proprietary; raised to clear the fat-tire. Right out of the gate I was looking for an 18T to no avail. Kind of a PITA since I could probably get a good 25MPH cruise out of it...

    Who has had premature drivetrain failures with a Mid drive ?

    I've had plenty of experience with skipping problems on my mid-drive. I'm pretty sure it's not your motor. You may have damaged a tooth on the cassette or your chain's stretched (7-months?). I've been pretty rough on my bike, but I've come to understand its drive-train idiosyncrasies. I'm...

    Oh...and DITTO; I feel naked without my helmet...and you don’t wanna see me naked.

    Poll: Do you wear a helmet when riding

    I believe she’d mentioned she’d bought the helmet THAT DAY; she was wearing it for her helicopter-ride.
