    I hate your ebike...

    This is a ridiculous comparison of apples to oranges. Ebikes are in there own class. Bicycles have their place as well. It's all about owner preference. You can burn as many calories either way.....it's all about how you want to do it. Cheating is a word for the closed minded individual who...

    I got my first Ebike. Giant Lafree E + 2

    This site helped me soooo much.....and now I have an Ebike. Yesterday was my first ride. I made it 18 miles and only used 20% of my battery. There were hills and scenery. I love the bike I chose.....the Lafree is a very nice Ebike with good features, warranty, and service. Hopefully the EBR...

    Thule trunk bike rack + e-bike = okay?

    I just ordered a bike rack....because I would not think about hanging my Ebike on a rack that doesn't meet the weight requirements. Search on Amazon for the Overdrive Sport 2 Bike hitch mounted bike rack. It's the least expensive $250 ebike rack I could find. I'll let you know if I like it.

    Weighing online brands vs. in-store, a few brands for fast 12-mi commuter

    You for sure should check out the Specialized line of Ebikes. I was completely blown away when I rode these. I did choose a class 1 Ebike because it is the law here in South Dakota. I wanted a Specialized BAD!!! But in the end the price and availability in my area killed me. Charlie on...

    Looking for feedback on a few models

    I just bought the Giant Lafree E + 2 after being on the fence between the Townie Go. I chose the Lafree....it's a little more upright and adjustable. It keeps charge longer and has a little more power. The ride is very similar to the townie but you aren't sitting as leaned back as the townie...

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

    I just purchased the 2019 Lafree E + 2. I love this bike so much. After not riding a bike for 15 years I took it out yesterday. I rode 17.5 miles. The bike was amazing. I couldn't believe I could get up hills and keep up with my hubby. If anyone has questions about this electric bicycle let...

    Looking for a new e-bike - need suggestions

    I am buying the Specialized Turbo Como 4.0 650b - Low Step. I tried both of the bikes you own. I have tried several ebikes and this was the one!!! It assists you at the level you pedal. It takes hills like a boss. Good luck with your adventure. :cool...

    Help: e-bike for NYC commute? (20 mi round trip)

    The Piaggio is a class 1 ebike ….you are correct Vespa makes scooters but they also make ebikes. There is a nice review on here. I believe they are made in your city although I could be wrong. They are sold out online but if I lived in a major city I would consider it because of it's anti...

    Have you considered the Piaggio? It is made by Vespa. It has a powerful motor and the anti-theft system is really cutting edge.
