    New carbon fiber electric bike costs under $1k

    That is a very impressive price point, considering the manual labor involved in building a CF frame.

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    Just want to clarify that REI is not filing and has not filed for bankruptcy. Other than that, I don’t disagree with the rest of what you are stating, in that corporate bankruptcy rules seem to allow corporations to get out of obligations in a way that doesn’t apply to the rest of us. As the...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    The Co-op City E2.2 looks to be a nice bike for the price, especially considering it is purchased at a reputable store that sets up and services bikes. I assume it was in stock. It seems to be the most in-stock ebike at the REI stores In the greater LA area. This thread is under “Other brands”...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    Hi, Thomas. I tried to send a private message to you but you are blocked from starting a conversation. Thank you for the apology. I would like to apologize also for the snarky comment in my last post to you. I felt I had avoided anything to apologize for up to that point. Two wrongs don't...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    REI has been successful selling and servicing their own bike brand (used to be Novarra, now Co-op) as well as other mainstream brands, such as Cannondale. Although the Co-op ebikes are not personally what I am looking for, I'd be happy to suggest them to others as a lower cost ebike alternative...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    The article you link to is behind a paywall for me. However, similar articles that I had already read from my Google searches that are not behind a paywall clearly show that a store named U.S. Outdoor Store in Portland filed for bankruptcy, and that there was an REI store nearby. The business...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    In the story that you link, there is no mention of REI filing bankruptcy. The story discusses layoffs at REI, which of course is happening at many companies during the pandemic. Fortunately REI has both a physical store presence, and already had a strong online presence prior to the pandemic...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    Hi, Thomas, Arcom first posted that "Perhaps the ebikes will keep REI from going into its second bankruptcy in five years?" After reading that, I was really surprised, as I had never heard that REI had gone into bankruptcy ever. Before posting my response to Arcom, I did multiple Google...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    I had never heard of them before, but a quick search shows that they have two stores in the SF Bay Area, and that they sell Aventon ebikes.

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    I did a search before I initially posted and saw that they decided to sell their new HQ building, but that isn’t bankruptcy of the company, but an intelligent move to cut costs during the pandemic and many management employees working remotely. I found lots of stories pondering about which...

    REI launches in-house electric bikes, showing off affordably priced Shimano mid-drives

    Could you please give a reference that REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.) went into bankruptcy sometime in the last five years? I have been a member and regular customer for 44 years and this is news to me. I always received a dividend on my purchases each year, and it was always honored.

    Cannondale 2021 Lineup?

    I guess this change has not completely taken place yet or is being phased in. In the US, REI currently has Cannondale 2020 and 2021 model bikes for sale. I am assuming that some additional 2021 models will follow.

    Trek Domane +HP 2021

    Thanks for the feedback and good luck on your recovery. I am not riding right now since I had a left hip replacement in July. I am walking a lot and will get back on the bike soon.

    Giant Support in USA Gone Dark?

    Did Giant make the decision to use third party software because Yamaha will not allow the software to be used on non-Yamaha manufactured bikes, or did Giant make the decision to use third party software in order to offer features that Yamaha doesn’t offer and/or to save money?

    Cannondale Supersix Evo road bike general usage

    The Supersix Evo Neo, as far as I can tell from various reports, is a Class 1 ebike, and only provides electric motor assist up to 20 mph in the US. (The Cannondale site does not mention what class the bike is.) On the flats, if you are exceeding 20 mph, the motor shuts off, and you are...

    Creek fire is not in Mammoth Lakes or threatening it, although smoke from the fire is affecting a huge area, including Mammoth Lakes up to Reno. The fire is on the west side of the Sierra, and people were being helicopter airlifted out of the Mammoth Pool Reservoir area, which is on the west...
