If hills and headwinds didn't exist, I wouldn't have bought an e-bike. When riding my standard bike over the years and was riding up a big hill or into a strong headwind, I would think it would sure be nice to have an e-bike at times like that. And when I finally got my e-bike, I'm using it...

??? I'm surprised you say something like that as much as you are on this forum. I explained just 3 posts prior to yours why I appreciate having an ebike and also mentioned a few posts back that I have been riding a standard bike for years. The e-bike is much nicer to ride, even unpowered on...

I spend more miles riding my e-bike with assist completely off than the time I use all of the assist levels combined, and my bike is 62 pounds just for the base weight and has 2.4" wide tires. My longest ride of the summer was 61 miles, also mostly with no assist. On level ground, once I'm up...

I've been riding a standard bike for many years. I got an e-bike this year. I still ride to keep my heart rate up and get a great workout. I always wear a heart rate monitor. It is outright false to state that you can't get a good cardio workout on an e-bike. Craziness.

I noticed a couple people referred to "Bickles". It's actually "Bickel's". I bought a standard Trek bike there well over a decade ago. I was in there last summer (2020) to check what they had, and they were pretty well cleaned out. I ended up waiting until Feb 2021 to get an e-bike. Haven't...

I've seen comments from people that seem very interested, but I don't know who's ordered. They probably aren't in any rush since it won't be shipping until January, and to top it off, people in most of the country don't normally ride bikes much at that time of the year. Existing thread on the...

Thanks. This is good to know as I would like this functionality.

Interesting. The Mission Control App FAQ states the Como is not compatible with it. "Due to the type of Bluetooth® connectivity on Turbo Vado/Como displays (provided by BLOKS), we can't connect to these bikes with Mission Control. If you want to adjust the tuning modes on your bike, please...

Is the personal power meter metric available on all Specialized bikes via the app, for example, Turbo Como 3.0? Do any other e-bikes provide personal power data via their apps, like Giant?

Does RWGP auto pause stop heart rate logging when you are stopped, and are these heart rate metrics/graph available in the free version? I'm guessing no.

You can have the 50 degree weather for riding. lol I'll be driving my car, and there's no 15 mph gridlock in my city. There are surely some exceptions. I've read articles about a drop in people biking. But around here, I don't see many people biking in the nice weather months, and almost...

I don't care what the infrastructure is. My cut off is about 70 degrees, and I prefer 80+. And most people are far less likely to ride than me. It's not about infrastructure. It's just not going to happen. And despite many thousands of miles of biking that I've done for exercise, I have...

Does anyone know a free heart rate biking/exercise app that auto pauses heart rate monitoring when stopped for breaks? I have been using a combo of Sports Tracker and Endomondo in previous years. Since Endomondo was bought out and retired, I am using myWorkouts in its place. My heart rate...

Not everyone lives in a warm climate year round, regardless of the infrastructure. I ride an e-bike often from about May to Sept, especially June to August. But I never commute for various reasons. I do not see many other people biking at all during those months, and I can't imagine ever...

I mentioned this in another thread, but different states and municipalities can create their own spin on the definition of class 3 or any other class. "New York will define Class 3 bikes as those with a throttle-activated motor (and allowed only in New York City) with a maximum speed of 25 mph...

There are complaints from some people that it takes a day for them to respond to each email, and it can get dragged out a while, but most people seem satisfied in the end. They won't warranty moisture damage, so don't ride in the rain. And they won't warranty stripped crank threads due to...

Right, but not because of the throttle as was being discussed.

It's not necessarily a matter of "enforcement" but can be a difference in the laws in states / municipalities. For example: "New York will define Class 3 bikes as those with a throttle-activated motor (and allowed only in New York City) with a maximum speed of 25 mph before turning off."...

I'm not from CA or Europe, so it's not a problem for me. lol It's literally zero concern to me. You should re-read my posts. I never stated mine was class 2. I have stated it was class 3 and provided references to that in my previous posts.

I've never heard of anyone registering an e-bike with the DMV in CA. I don't register or insure mine. I don't live in CA, but there are a number of CA residents with class 3 throttle-equipped bikes like mine in the FB group. I have had it up to over 36 mph using muscular pedal power after the...
