    Shifting a Class II - Mid-Drive

    Today was a good day... sunny and about 60/deg. I took my new Mid-Drive out to practice shifting on hills. I got more confident as I was up and down the same hill about 5 times testing things out. But I had to call it quits because my knee was on fire. Also, I do find that I am overthinking...

    Shifting a Class II - Mid-Drive

    Hahaha... sorry guys... I just realized In my original post I referred to the "Pedal Assist System" (PAS) as "PSA" which actually refers to the levels in your Prostrate... so nothing to do with riding an e-bike. ;);)

    Shifting a Class II - Mid-Drive

    This is some great information to have, loved the articles you linked me to, so thank you for that. So, after reading all of this, I have a few more questions that come to mind. You mention NOT to shift under load, and that makes perfect sense. But if you still find you need a lower gear, can...

    Shifting a Class II - Mid-Drive

    A few weeks ago I recently purchased a Dost Kope 750 Mid-Drive (class II), I also own a Magnum Metro 750 Hub-Drive (Class II). The main reason for the new purchase was that I wanted a bike with more push or torque. I find the way they ride and handle are really two totally different ways, at...

    Yet another "Careful of DOST Bikes" warning

    How sad to read some of these negative reviews regarding Dost. I have been researching different mid-drive bikes for several months and kept coming back to Dost. There are so many things that held my attention that I was using their offering (Kope chain) as a benchmark while measuring others...

    750w Bafang vs 500w Ananda

    Didn't know much about the Rize brand... until I just looked them up and watched some of the videos, Nice Bikes. Looks almost exactly like the Dost Kope. Dost had a special sale for a few weeks so I was able to pick it up for 2995.00... only for the single battery though and a 750w mid-drive...

    750w Bafang vs 500w Ananda

    Well... I finally pulled the trigger on a new Mid Drive "Dost Kope" (Chain Drive) - I tested a bunch of different styles and manufacturers trying to make sure I was picking, 'the one"... with the main objective of it being strong and reliable... I guess we all want that. I landed on the Dost...

    True or False - Bafang 750w vs Bafang 750w

    All... Recently I've posted about looking for another E-Bike, I've been going back and forth on motor size, fat tire or no fat tire, Mid Drive or Hub Drive, on and on and on. Currently, I own a Magnum "Metro 750 Hub Drive" - Which I love... except it is currently in the shop because of a...

    750w Bafang vs 500w Ananda

    ElevenAD, Thank you for the information... I wrote down the motor information you suggested so I can bring it up to my LBS to see what is available locally or if I need to order something. I guess now (being from Cleveland) I am in no big hurry because the season is quickly coming to an...

    750w Bafang vs 500w Ananda

    M@robertson, Thank you so much for sharing. I wish they made it easier to understand when they talk about Motor power, watts, torque, Etc. Especially for some of us who kind of get the idea, but really are only at the mercy of the manufacturer of the motor, but more so the bike...

    750w Bafang vs 500w Ananda

    Hello all, I have a quick question regarding Mid-Drive specs - I am in the process of purchasing a new e-bike. Currently, I own a Magnum Metro 750 (hub drive). - I love my Metro, but wanted something with more push (torque) to help with the hills. I'm a big guy (6'3 - 300/lbs) so, I...

    PedalUma... This is great information, thank you so much. I am going to start the process tomorrow. What do you think of using Saddle Soap - It's a balm-type product that is used for leather treatment. Also, I read some people soaked them in water for 1/2 hour, then rode it around for about an...

    Thank you... Over the last few years, the city has been working on stages 3 and 4 of the bike trails which is making them all connected and expanding them along the lake... such a beautiful ride through the national park that now takes up and connects along the now lake trail. But you are...

    Greetings from CLE

    Today, I was able to move my handlebars up and forward a bit, which had me lean forward a little more than I currently was. It seems to really help to take even pressure off my sit bones, without numbing my hands or arms. I am finding that this is almost an art form of tweaking, fine-tuning and...
