I have thought about a dropper post for sure! What I found is as I have lost the weight from my belly mostly (thankfully) and part of the new healthy lifestyle is to stretch a lot, everyday (been a desk jockey for 25 years) has made a world of difference for me. I only now really have to...

Your suggestion lead me to a cool video by the founder of Juiced Bikes who makes the HyperScorpion that came out this month. Damn - it's a lightweight street bike, that you can pedal. A key tidbit I picked up on was the smallest cog on the back is 11T and the chainring....56T!! That's a huge...

Again, super fun bikes to ride but the motor will be doing more of the work due to the riding position, at least that is what it felt like when I did my test rides on them. Are you against something more like a 26" rim fat tire bike with normal geometry? The bigger wheels roll better and over...

I just unboxed today my first Satiator. I went with the 5amp/100V model, even though I'm only starting out with 52V configurations - just to be sure I have flexibility for any projects in the future I may take on. :) I look forward to sharing with you my experience once I get to build out my two...

Helo easyheimer, I'm a year ahead of you on my own journey with the same goals. I started out last year at 6'0 and 315lbs. Dropped 50lbs from simply a better dietary choices and thousands of kms ridden. I'm now the same size/weight you are and very much relate. Yes, an ebike will help you ride...

My 2 x 9C RH212 STD motors from ebikes.ca came in last week. Just waiting for them to be laced into my rims by my LBS. 2 phaserunners, Justin's latest creation - the CA to Dual Controller cable - all in a box beside me ready to go on my Surly Pugsley with 3.8 Nates tires. Great minds think...

Does your console come on at all? If it does, what percent level is the battery currently showing?

Hello there, Bionx batteries are known for their proprietary design of going into a 'deep sleep' mode. The problem is dealers were required to give owners instructions that you must charge the battery every 30 days (i.e. over the winter) to top it up and keep it healthy... ...if you leave...

Hello Colin and Randall, nice to meet you. I just joined EBR and getting to know the forums and threads. I believe I might be of a bit of help to you, I will try my best. I'm self taught on Bionx, not a bike shop or dealer. What I do happen to have is 6 Bionx motors, currently 3 installed, 7...

Hello Chris, Great list! I have seen a few of your videos and awesome to have joined here and see your post. I wanted your thoughts on the Surly Big Easy? If you have had a chance to compare it to your favorites? Thanks, Shaun

Newbie here, just want to add a bit of input to help from research I have been doing this year. From what I read about non-e (acoustic? is that the correct term?) cargo bikes that a lot of folks are fans of Surly's Big Dummy. Most consider it the 'fastest rolling' cargo bike and lots of...

Let us know what you decide to go ahead with when you do!

Awesome. Again - if not this seat then looking online or working with your LBS you should find a great seat with the longer than usual adjustment bars designed to go further back. Good luck!

When you go in to test ride bikes, throw a leg over bikes - take a tape measure with you - I use a pocket size soft tape measure (used for sewing mostly I believe) and it helped me figure out a lot about the type 'frame size' I wanted - being 6' I thought I would be a large or even XL frame -...

Specific to your request, I'm 72" tall myself and test drove a couple full size Rad City bikes with the 26" tires. I really liked them and see their value for money spent. At your height you for sure would want to stick with choices that have 26" tires. The models with 20" tires would work but...

Hello Levelk, Is there any LBS (Local Bike Shop) within a reasonable driving distance you could goto and test out various bikes? Even just to compare other brands/models to see what you like, how you fit on the various frame types and such - makes a world of difference. I did this for the...

I'm late to this thread as I just joined and wanted to share my experience/setup here. Reading through this thread I realize very much I simply 'got lucky' with the combination of batteries and bags I went with - thanks for the tips about better protecting the insides of the bags against wear...

Hello there Lefty, Last year I faced pretty much the same challenge with a bike I purchased from my favorite LBS and perhaps the fix that worked for me might work for you. I just took a photo as well to show you and hopefully it helps out. I'm 6'0, currently 270lbs and a 32" inseam and 34"...

Thanks ki11a! I realize now I was looking for bicycle specific in my search and never thought to look for generic GPS tracking devices that could be easily installed on/within my ebikes. I will go searching this week and look to add to what I have already planned for extra security and peace of...

Some great choices there Doug. I'm looking to upgrade my locks from last year as well. On YouTube I found an awesome content creator for locks - LockPickingLawyer Here's a video he did for the ABUS Granit X-Plus 540's you're looking at - his opinion (quite positive feedback) and yes, his...
