    Following Yamaha out the door: Stromer is bailing out of the US Market

    Thanks, I was just wondering and how the resale is going privately. I don't have a bike for sale. But in the future and who can predict it I might want to upgrade to something that is even more powerful and lighter and in my meager price point. I'm not one of those people when you open up the...

    Following Yamaha out the door: Stromer is bailing out of the US Market

    Hello, I was reading your post and saw that you had a few really nice high-end e-bikes. I also saw that you were able to sell them and was wondering what type of forum you used to sell them? My experience in selling bikes in the past has come with a huge depreciation. I'm guessing that...

    Following Yamaha out the door: Stromer is bailing out of the US Market

    I'll chime in with another point of view. For me a bicycle is meant to ride with a purpose, meaning you're doing it for exercise or you're doing it for transportation or just general Good Times. I want a bike with good components and simplicity, turn off, turn on! I hope all this new technology...

    Following Yamaha out the door: Stromer is bailing out of the US Market

    Wow! I've been looking closely at ebikes out on highways and trails for quite some time and have yet to see a Stromer here in SoCal. Fairly Elusive and I can see why. I look for a few things in an ebike manufacturer: 1. Price 2. Quality Parts, drivetrain. 3. Dealer customer facing support. I...

    [#8] X52.. Water Bottle holders..Torque Washers.. Step-Over Frame modification.

    My two cents, do not saw the frame! All those water bottle carriers seem like you're going on an expedition, and in that case why not just have a couple of solid rear rack panners that will hold all your water, food hiking gear rain jackets shoes socks extra batteries you name it that's what...

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    Yes I started looking at other lists, and notice that there were groups of other types of bikes listed on other sites that were out of the US.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Probably an Overkill but I really come to light this rack Panner bag, it can carry pretty much all my tools pump and helmet, so when I get off the bike I don't have to worry about Essentials getting stolen. I often use the seat bag, when I don't use the Panner. And the rack has a adjustable...

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    Yeah it's a diverse topic and interesting to say the least and I agree that we do have a gluttony of e-bikes that are emerging and disappearing. I'm a road bike cyclist and I see e-bikes around quite a bit in my area but I will say there's still more people peddling manually than with pedal...

    Offshore ebike manufacturers to disappear in 2025

    So I figured I would ask this question because I think there's a lot of speculation on ebike manufacturers that are primarily unknown and or offshore with online ordering only. Do we have any forecast as to what ebike manufacturers offshore will be disappearing in the coming year or on the...

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Let's not forget that easy mistake that we often make is that one pedal is French threaded or reverse thread! meaning it's the opposite then you would normally unscrew a pedal. Just thought I'd throw that in. Oh on topic I just use a park Tool Molly grease it's the blue stuff for pretty much all...

    FX+ 7S?

    I just saw the Trek FX+ 7s class 3 bike is awesome! I just wish it had a little more torque. I'm going to be heading to my local shop they have one, I'm going to take it for a blast. Even though I purchased a gazelle ultimate T10+ with the Bosch performance line speed 75nm torque with a class 3...
