    Townie Commute go vs Townie go

    That’s correct. Both bikes have the Bosch performance line motors. They have a very natural feel when pedaling and no throttle. If starting on an incline all you need to do is have the bike in sport or turbo mode in a low gear and pushing the pedal about 1/4 turn will start the motor. Also...

    SuperCommuter Mods

    Very nice set up on your Super Commuter. Its a great bike. What is your opinion on the Body Float, and also are you satisfied with the Thule bike rack. I have two Ebikes that weigh about 58 lbs. each and have some back problems so the idea of having a ramp interests me. Also a ramp would...

    I purchased a Townie Go last December and a significant part of my decision was based on Court’s review and reading many postings on this site.
