    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    That's a great attitude to have. I try to make sure I get out and ride everyday. I try not to worry about how far and just get out there. There is so much to see and explore. I've been missing out for a long time. Your pictures from your ride are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. I love to...

    How Do I Clean My NEW EBIKE?

    I agree if I'm in the rain I expect my ebike to hold up. However, I have read that a lot of water can be harmful to an Ebike soooo.... I thought I'll ask my Ebike friends what they do. Maybe someone does it better than me. I like the ACF50 idea.... I'm gonna pick me up a can of that. Last...

    How Do I Clean My NEW EBIKE?

    This is a great tip. I might just have to get one of those sprayers. I have a chain cleaning brush. I'll look into a wheel cleaner. Thank you for your help. ?

    How Do I Clean My NEW EBIKE?

    What do you all do to clean your ebike? Mine is a little dirty from the daily rains we've been experiencing. I want my bike to look shiny and new. Can I hose it off some? I am looking to clean fenders, tires, frame..... you know the dirty places.

    Actually hitting 28mph

    My Lafree E+2 cuts out at about 18.5 mph. PAS will actually fight me if I pedal above 20mph. It's not you..... it's Giant.

    Thule trunk bike rack + e-bike = okay?

    UPDATE...……….. I really like this bike rack. China did a great job copying the $440 dollar Hollywood Ebike rack. This rack is identical. It is really sturdy and does a great job securing my ebike. The price is very good considering what is out there.

    Giant Lafree E+2 and E+1 I have owned both models!!!!

    Today I rode 40 miles. My dairy aire is SORE!!! But I did it!!!! There is a spiral bike ramp that the city spent a million dollars building. It's like 4 spirals high.... I whiz up that 15 miles an hour. Makes my guy a little salty but I kinda enjoy that. Heh Heh.... LOL....

    Giant Lafree E+2 and E+1 I have owned both models!!!!

    I own the Lafree E+2. The biggest difference between the two bikes is the belt drive. Belt drives last longer but can be more costly to repair if there is an issue. Everything else about the bikes are the same. The motor is so quiet you can't hear it. The pedal assist is smooth and it knows how...

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    That's the spirit. I love my ebike. Don't be too hard on the roadsters. It's hard to ride the dinosaurs (reg bike). LOL

    Cruiser with gates belt drive

    You could try the Lafree E+1. It has a great price point and it's belt driven.

    Is it important to you that your ebike doesn’t look like an ebike?

    I am extremely proud of my very expensive Ebike. Why would I conceal my new toy? I own the Giant Lafree E+2. I went 32 miles yesterday. Something I would not have been able to do on a dinosaur. I'm biking again and that's what really matters. I have a panniers, a mirror, cell phone case...

    Bosch Purion Display Just Stopped Working During Ride - Any Ideas?

    Your wife's brand new Ebike is under warranty. I recommend contacting Electra. They should send you a new display and direct you where to go to have the bike serviced. I love the Townie..... its a great bike!!!

    Can my wife and I be compatible on the road?

    Have you considered a Etrike for your wife? Honestly, they have some really nice options out there. Liberty trikes has some affordable choices. They have some smaller models that fold that are still capable of storage, heavier rider, and a throttle. Good luck to you and I hope you find the...

    Another twist to throttle vs PAS ebikes....Comments wanted...

    I say why worry about what anyone else is doing at all? You do you!!! If I owned a bike shop and there were no laws in my state prohibiting the type of ebike allowed on the paths I would sell every type of bike I could. There is something for everybody. It's a pointless discussion worrying...

    I got my first Ebike. Giant Lafree E + 2

    Thank you.... yes Mt Rushmore is VERY hilly. LOL!!! My husband will soon find out (NO EBIKE) I will be sailing around.... (not really) I average about 700 calories on a 15 mile ride. I actually get a fair amount of exercise. The Giant app figures out how many calories you are burning...
