I would be a lot more receptive to backing the manufacturers/distributors and "minimum ADVERTISED pricing"("MAP" if in fact there is one vs MSRP) if they were ALL (or even more than one or two) up here day in and day out supporting us. Instead, forums such as this have in fact been doing all the...

Shhhh...next you'll be telling us that we can always switch to max pedal assist with a blip of the throttle or get started much easier with another blip...you should have got a 'pedal only' drive that is much more dependent on your gear shifting skills...and overall attention! ;)

One simple heading might be: Throttle? Start from dead stop; instantaneous 'high' pedal assist; cruise control, throttle only When you start adding the advantages, it narrows things quickly for some and makes the process one heck of a lot easier (unless you're dead set on brand names vs features).

You're the man...thanks a bunch! :)

If folks want to be honest with newbie riders as to the advantages of both (not to mention cruise control)..I continually am amazed that it isn't one of the first questions asked...especially for older, injured or even out-of-shape folks just starting out. It's as if you aren't pedaling ALL the...

I was agreeing with 86 in terms of the above. Every person's varying proper seat height in relation to the pedals will have a lot to do with this geometry, the positioning of the bars and how both their hands and back feel after a long ride. I frankly bought the Dash expecting to 'get used to...

"..I also asked Chawn if my hub motor was one of the first ones with the glue problem. It was. He sent me a replacement of one of those also with the new and improved bonding agent for the internal magnets. I have yet to put that on my bike. I will keep everyone posted if there is any difference...

^...Probably the single most overlooked subject that I've seen beyond throttle vs no throttle (and certainly more important). The ebike industry is really missing the boat if they don't stress this enough. I'm having to put risers on my bars due to the fact that there is no reason whatsoever to...

I would rip mine off and buy it straight from your shop if you had it...preferably the same system as our Peak's (or close).

Thank you, lilrich...these posts are what make owning these bikes seem like nothing out of the normal.

I would offer that if mass transit (historically) was ever indeed paid for on anything but borrowed funds, sustainably maintained/replaced or operated privately to control costs...you probably wouldn't need a bike to make your commute today. Since the truth that I have just put forth is proven...

I'm a little old fashioned...in that I'm more worried that roadways already in service be sustainably maintained since we have absolutely no money to 'build them out' further for bicycle specific travel. If a road needs to be replaced and it can be widened through reasonable cost/added future...

(re: Fuji's new Denny)"...The company may have to modify the design to ensure it meets industry requirements for world-wide sale..." Somebody was asking recently as to where the next 'Model T' is (ebike comparison) and why it isn't necessarily here already. I would offer that the people who...

**Update on the Saris SuperClamp (2 bike rack) recommended by ChicagoLand Ebikes (thank you)** I finally socked down the threaded 2" hitch screw and took it for a ride. The rack is still somewhat wobbly but an expected function of the rest of the assembly/parts and not what necessarily counts...

Wow...it would be hard to find somebody (let alone somebody working for a distributor at the point of purchase) that could claim the above AND be involved/experienced in the technology for that long. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this board. I agree wholeheartedly with...

Thanks for the input. I suppose that we'll have to see what Len starts offering with his bikes absent any further input from the BF factory rep. here. $130 vs $250? As Brian alluded to earlier...either give us a shootout or a side-by-side darn good sales pitch to spend that (significant) extra...

The solution to sustainable maintenance issues on public lands is very simple. Take the money out of (cough) 'non-profit' hands and any government employee equating the overseeing of such as a career worthy expense for the general public. Force private enterprise to compete for these very...

We're being told that the focus is on. What makes said 'focus' so "exponentially more complex and difficult to deal with"...is that: 1) It is a 'focus' (conversation) that does not include the riding community at large...and 2) It is a 'focus' which does not have the light of day shining upon...

At the risk of going off-topic and in the wish that said topic would be discussed elsewhere despite my constant urging (to no avail) I'd like to clear up a few things regarding your response, starting with Ravi's quote that you referenced below: Here is Ravi's quote: "...Being vocal is...
