    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Just back from a vacation in East Hampton New York. Gorgeous as usual. And just such fun. Rode my ebike all over. But here's the thing: of the many many bikers I passed or came across, not one was on an ebike. Where the heck are they? And frankly, it's the same thing in Connecticut. They are...

    Magnum Peak Thread

    Hi! Yes, bought this rack, a Yakama, for about $200. It attaches easily to pretty much any car. And it's heavy duty and rests on the bumper. I had researched prior to buying the Peak, and determined that I could not do the standard trailer hitch type rack on my car. (I also don't know what...

    Why did you buy make and model?

    Magnum Peak I looked at many and tried a few. It was the combo of factors that swayed me: $2000 - bang for the buck 24 gears Combo road/Mtn bike - wanted the option - medium knobby tires Battery power / range / top-end speed Appearance - Good looking bike, battery slightly stealth and not...

    Magnum Peak Thread

    Hi Glenn. I think you're the first person with a Peak to respond that has put on that much range on a ride (70kms). Good to hear your numbers. Been waiting to hear of this from someone. My rides are all recreational and tend to be under 10 miles. Also, always in hilly areas. That really...

    The saddle thread: Cloud 9 sizes and images on page three

    Is it overkill to get a C-9 type seat PLUS a spring loaded seat post such as : "Suntour SP12-NCX Mountain Road Bike Suspension Travel Seatpost".

    Btw, I also have the 29". At one point I thought I should swap it BB, I may post this in the other section as well. My question is, do you think it's overkill to have the spring loaded seat post plus a new seat like cloud 9?

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    Appreciate that explanation. On my bike, which is fairly new and has a throttle + PAS, I think the throttle can be disabled and eliminated in about five minutes. So I have been wondering what's the big deal with doing the same in New York City. and also that it can't be determined whether...

    Why do we ebike?

    There is something about that boost of clean power that never gets old! Such a wonderful technology!

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    Yep, I see the issue. Absolutely ridiculous regs. And I'm referring to the "throttle from OEM..." thing. Unfair to owners AND how in the world is a cop supposed to determine that? Ridiculous...

    Agree! Seems like a no-brainer. Are they that difficult to un-hook?

    "No fair." In so many ways!

    My fav is your 1st.

    Help! Researching 1st ebike, need recommendations.

    Given your listing of asphalt and trail, I'd put Magnum on your list. Good value at $2000.
