    Averaging 50 miles a day between the Stromer and Soul Fast Sonic Cruiser. Waiting on delivery of a Juggernaut Ultra Duo 3 before leaving for the summer rigging concert venues. I was going to replace the Stromer with a Dost Kope but had to cancel that order after I got the gig work as I would not...

    Still loving my original 36v/500w ST1, but ready to upgrade to a 48v system. Which Stromer model to buy is the question...

    Bike Vs. Race Car

    Anything that raises awareness of the viability of EV travel and sharing the road with cyclists gets my thumbs up!

    Dost Kope order...NOT going well....Finally the Saga Concludes.

    Follow-up: I reached out to customer service, see their reply. It has been over two weeks since I cancelled the order by phone on 5/15 and have not received a refund to date.

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    "Well, that's like, your OPINION man..." OK, I get it now, you're a TROLL. For a while I thought you were a normal forum member. Ignored. .

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    Maybe do a little homework before the lecture. Dost advertises a 100% refund policy when you cancel before shipping. So, there is no fine print that prevents you from being granted a refund. I was in fact granted the refund when I cancelled the order. The problem is that no refund has been...

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    I explained at the Dost thread why I had to cancel, I did not air grievances. I am providing factual information regarding my experience with Dost. Why do YOU try to muzzle posts that provide facts the anyone considering a Dost product would find relevant?

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    This is not a one-shot post, did you read where I am following-up until this is resolved? This is valuable information for anybody considering paying over $4000, sight unseen, and having the bike shipped to them. I have not been refunded for over two weeks now after Dost customer service...

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    FYI to folks who may want to order a Dost bike: I am starting to have the same problem the OP had. I ordered it on 5/4/23 for late June shipping window then found out I got some gig work out of state so I would not be home to receive delivery. I cancelled on 5/15/23. No refund to my cc as of...

    I just received the Cygolite Hypershot from Amazon...bright is an understatement. At 350 Lumens this thing is a frigging lighthouse! I am actually concerned with blinding drivers coming up from behind.

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    The Dost frame accepts a 31.5mm seat post, could be THAT size is on back order from the manufacturer, Suntour. Why not contact them to see if they are having sourcing issues that would delay bike manufacturers from getting timely deliveries? If they tell you no such issue exists then use that...

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    What I believe is that the resolution is more important info than the particular issue. Even the best products and companies have problems (by operation of the law of “Shite Happens”) it's what they do to solve it that matters.

    Dost Kope order...NOT going well....Finally the Saga Concludes.

    After learning I would be traveling out-of-state for gig work, and after Dost pushed delivery to August, I cancelled this order (11 days after placing it) on 5/15 because I would not be available to take delivery of the bike. Still waiting for the refund to my cc; I will update to let potential...

    Thanks for the info, what's the comfort level, 0-10? More upright or rider-forward?

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    FYI, I ordered the Dost Kope Chain on 5/4/23 for late June delivery then called them and cancelled the order on 5/15/23. I am still waiting for the refund to my cc as of 5/29. Not a big deal if the refund is coming. I will follow-up once I receive it to let members know how long it took. I...

    The Art of E-biking

    The "art of ebiking" is most formally expressed through ebike creations, whether full DIY builds or customizations (just like the art of Hot Rodding a vehicle or motorcycle customs).

    $500-$1000 for an ebike vehicle rack? I Don't Think So...

    This was the first Amazon rack I ordered (this or similar) but returned it cuz there was too much play at the hitch mount. Felt like carrying two monkeys fighting over one banana.
