    Bicycle style e-bike with passenger option

    One thing I worry about with these is moving them by car. Is there a rack that can hold them?

    Portable Battery Power for Charging without a nearby outlet

    Hey Jordie, Nice spot on that remote charger. The bike you picked has a giant battery and that remote power box you found might offer it 1/4 of a charge. It is very hard to calculate the amount of power it will be able to transfer, but look at it this way, you are buying a 15AH 48volt battery...

    Thudbuster or Body Float

    I think what is happening is people are preferring the SR Suntour SP12 NCX Suspension Seat Post over the Thudbuster as it is less expensive and rumored to perform better. The Bodyfloat looks like a much better unit than either, the Suntour is probably a lot heavier but is way less money and...

    Electric Bike Carrier Racks

    I just installed the $139 Prorack 2-Bike Hitch Platform, bought from Amazon. It's rated for two bikes at 40 lbs each, my Dash is currently 62 lbs. all-up and probably 50 with the battery and lock off. I removed one set of the tire supports and one of the hold down hooks so now it's a one E-bike...

    Izip Dash Coasting Question

    more likely it is badly adjusted brakes, and I would look at the back ones first. To directly answer your question, when in line with and behind human powered bikes I tend to catch up to them even when not pedaling due to the greater weight of the Dash. So I do not feel that there is any...

    Focus Aventura BS10 w/ Bosch Speed Motor

    So, I went looking for more about this bike, and found the same? bike as the Kalkhoff ENDEAVOUR BS10 10-G XT. What's with that? Also found that bike with a lot more and very good photos for sale on ebay Here.

    New "Flat-Less" Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres for 2014

    I am currently trying out the Prorack, (here on Amazon) and while not quite ready to review it I am using it and will offer up the complete review in a few days. While it is a two bike rack rated for 40 lb bikes I am using it for only one E bike which is 62 lbs all up and probably 50 lbs with...

    Turbo Brake Squeal

    I'm not such an expert on solvents. I used a high tech non-toxic cleaner/oil/grease remover (M-Pro 7 gun cleaner) but I expect rubbing alcohol or paint thinner would work, next up would be Acetone and if all else failed Laquer thinner, but that stuff is a bit extreme. I just rubbed hard with a...

    Commuting by E-bike

    My motivation for joining the E-bike clan was frustration with longer and longer car commute times. My morning bike commute is the same as, and my evening commute 1/3 the time of my car commuting. I didn't realize when I started how much I would enjoy it

    In the beginning, and desire...

    This rack is going to be a temporary fix and only work until my BMW i3 arrives, currently in Leipzig rolling off the line. The rack options with that vehicle are somewhat limited and I don't see a hitch going on it anytime soon. I hate to think what that hitch will cost, but think of it- an i3...

    When you are riding in diagnostic mode 7 and there isn't power assist, it always reads 000?

    Schwalbe customer service stinks

    Charly, two questions: you have ordered from XXCYCLE a couple times at least, did you ship the 7-10 day or the 2-3 day speed, and how long did it take? And you never did post the outcome of the bad tire episode. Did that work out? I just ordered the tires and the seatpost from them.

    Blown motor on E3 Dash with 29 miles on it

    Please keep us informed as this develops. You can check to see if the brakes are a problem, my right brake is a little twitchy. I don't think that is the problem, because all power is cut when a brake sensor is activated, so you shouldn't get power with the throttle either. For the benefit of...
