    E Bike Preorders ?

    I called Aventon, Ride1up, and Espin today. All are talking about early July deliveries now, even though some still show early June on their website. Tough situation for all ... sellers and buyers.

    Thank you Timpo ... You've opened up several bikes I had not considered.

    E Bike Preorders ?

    Cross Core looks very impressive, but my wife needs a step thru frame and we both like a throttle option.

    E Bike Preorders ?

    I'm ready to buy a step-thru e-bike for my wife, but it seems like there is little to no inventory, at least in the under $2,000 market. Also, pre-order dates seem to be stretching out each week. I checked Aventon, Ride1Up, Juiced and RadPower ... all have little to no inventory, many stating...

    Handlebar Style

    Unfortunately, both are now listed as "unavailable". Paid $19.99 for the bars and $18.99 for the stem. Lots of similar options available on Amazon.

    New LMT’d - who’s in?

    I agree and I like their expanding product line/choices. The Seattle folks still have formidable marketing but an aging product line.

    Future Bike Model Proposal: Roadster 800

    I am very happy with my ride1up 500, and have posted reviews here earlier. Ride1up has great value bikes, and I am happy to see them expand their product line. The Limited appears to set a new bar in the under $2500 range, with it's 672 Whr battery, 100 nm torque, 51 lbs, 11-32 cassette, et. al...

    Just placed order

    I think this is the 2nd shipment of 250 of the 700 step over model which were forecast for April 21 availability for quite some time. I think they were sold out via pre-orders, but maybe not. The 2nd batch of step thru 700 pre orders are forecasted for May 24th.

    Want a comfort ebike under $1100

    Ride1up 500. I know you said you didn't like the handlebar choices. I changed mine to a mustache for $20. Love the bike, very high quality, on pavement and packed dirt. 500 watts, 750 max, and good support from Kevin and the people at Ride1up.

    Stability and Wheel Diameter?

    This is as good as any: : the property of a body that causes it when disturbed from a condition of equilibrium or steady motion to develop forces or moments that restore the original condition My 29er mountain bikes feel stable to me, my 20in folding bike, with 2-inch diameter tires, feels...

    Stability and Wheel Diameter?

    I've had a Dahon folding bike with Schwalbe Big Apple tires (20x2.0)for 10 years. Yes, it's definitely "twitchy" (aka more agile) compared to my 700 bikes, but I still love it for it's purpose. If I was looking for a city bike, I would definitely consider a 20 inch e-bike, but for commuting, I...

    Espin Reine

    My wife and I tested the Espin Flow and Sport right after testing the RadCity ST and stepover. We felt they were great bikes and would have purchased them except we see almost no support for them on the blogs. I don't like the battery insatlled on the rear rack of the Reine. Take a look at the Flow.

    Future Bike Model Proposal: Roadster 800

    The 500 in a ST frame will be a welcome addition to your product line. I love my 500 step over for many reasons ... but it's 10 to 15 lbs lighter than other bikes at this price point, makes it very easy to pedal with no assist on the flats, thus giving me almost unlimited range. I will be an...

    Handelbar phone mount.

    I've used these on several bikes and a Trike for years. For dirt rides, I put one of those small bungee cords across the phone, for added security.

    Opinions on rad city vs pace 500

    Then don't worry about range. Like so many, you miss the point of.

    Opinions on rad city vs pace 500

    Pace 500 will have better range and can be easily pedaled with no assist. Radcity DD and weight make pedaling with no assist very difficult. Most people and reviewers do not Factor this in when calculating range

    Just placed order

    Congratulations ! Did you have to pay state tax on them. I remember seeing a recent report from RadPower, that they were going to have to add state taxes beginning March 1.
