    Defining expectations

    very nice categories im a 1b. what would be very useful is a flowchart that leads you to a specification. for example 1's will avoid gearless hubs due to the drag. 3 want 500 watts or minimum. Took a stab, feel free to modify to your hearts content...

    About range, temperature can really impact range. The colder it is, the less range.

    Light e-bike?

    You might not need a 45 lbs ebike, perhaps you can use an ebike that weights 50 with a 5 lbs removable battery. That really widens your net. Many bikes will fit this bill. The advanced search on this site can choose by weight, you need to select MORE FILTERS at the bottom of the advanced...

    To large to park in a bike rack. Stands out like a soar thumb, not very stealth so people e take note. The trails were I live are already crazy with bikes going 25+ mph, little kids all over the place, people entering blindly from the sides. Everyone seems to make due and sometimes you have...

    A friend of mine was looking at the ELF as commuter to go from Chevy Chase to DC. The deal breaker was parking. It does not fit in a bike rack. The plus is that it can use bike trails. In his use case, an ebike probably makes the most sense but is then limited to the warmer half of the year.

    Consider an ARS Seat. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=sporting&field-keywords=planet+bike+women&rh=n:3375251,k:planet+bike+women . It's much better than the really hard seats that come on some bikes. Your bike has a city type saddle so the ARS might be in...

    My 2015 EVO Street Has Arrived!

    The key is to be consistent. You cannot ride every day an not have positive results. At least that what I tell myself . Often I ride 27 miles and use 2-3 bars on a Easy Motion. I'm around 175 lbs. I'm not in great shape The typical rie ride has a 800 ft gain, much of it is gradual...

    Just throw your water bottles in your panniers. There are panniers that have a water bottle holder.

    My 2015 EVO Street Has Arrived!

    BH bikes have this issue. If you want to hold a particular speed under full speed, especially on gentle inclines, the first two settings will pulse and over push followed by a retraction in power. I find the sensation to be having to work harder than expected to hold the target speed and...

    Elf Sighting in Maryland

    My walk mode button does not seem to do anything, is that just for the speed versions of the Bosch drives?

    Mid or Rear Drive for Touring?

    If you go mid drive bosch there is not throttle. If you go BH throttle is available. I have a Bosch and BH bike and find the Bosch wants more user effort and is very sensitive to effort. The BH is more generous with assist. The Bosch seems more powerful going up step hills , I weight...
