And a pic of your new bike!!

Xpanda, congrats on your search for an ebike. Lots of info here (and opinions!!) Have your looked at any of the Aventons? Maybe the Level? Or the Aventure? It would meet your budget. And look at their website because they post the maximum payload under the tech specs. I want to say the...

Excellent! Hopefully they can find the problem and you will be enjoying ebike life soon. please post what they find.

At first I was going to suggest trying a suspension seat post but I see you already have a Kinekt. Thanks for including the pic. I test rode an Element with the suspension fork. Although it did make a slight difference in right comfort it also raised the top bar above 2”. Since I need a step...

And another thing, moving pedals backwards is very normal. I don’t think Bosch would sell many bikes if that was not possible.

Beckgirl, no not a stupid question. Trust your instincts when you feel something is wrong. My class 1 Trek has a 3rd generation Bosch Active Line Plus, 50 nm torque. The pedals easily turn backwards.

I used toe clips eons ago, then switched to clip-ins for all my road riding. For me, clip-ins not needed for ebikes because I now have a motor & battery. What I do like are the platform pedals with the little pegs. They help keep your feet on the pedals and for quick stops are safer, imho.

Couple wild ideas: - try shutting off then restarting your phone. - clear history and cookies from phone. With an iPhone, it’s in settings, under Safari. - worst case scenario, you may need to delete, then re-install the app. but your data will be lost. That’s all I got.

Lol Kahn! I would like the bike alarm to have the same volume as a car alarm, but a totally different noise. Heck, nobody even looks anymore when a car alarm goes off.

This forum is great. Thank you to all the members who commented here. The info really helped. Couldn't find info on getting the alarm to work on my Como 5.0. I searched extensively on Google, tried YouTube, heck even looked on Bing (nobody uses Bing, except Microsoft employees upon threat of...

Oh no, let’s hope this thread doesn’t digress into the pros and cons of Brose motors. The op just wants to know of some quiet motors.

Darn. I was thinking the problem was “user error“ How much travel are you getting on your 2021 seat post? And is it adjustable? I haven’t decided yet, I just might get a Kinekt suspension seat post.

Hey Como 5.0 owners; does anyone know how to the adjust the suspension seatpost? It’s supposed to have 40mm of travel but right now it’s locked up tight with zero movement. I googled for more info and watched a couple YouTube videos. They said to adjust the hex screw at the bottom of the post...

CAR OF THE DAY: This nice looking red beauty. Don't know what brand or model but liking the shiny red. I doubt it's all original, has 4 tailpipes and those rims don't look very original. Some sort of hot rod.

For sure! For sure Stefan! I love the shiny red. So why the heck is my new 2022 Como going to be black?!! It’s scheduled to be in my lbs this week. When it arrives I’ll share more on the Vado/Como thread.

Wow K, that’s an amazing range and an amazing distance! Agreed, head winds are the worst battery drainer, constant and invisible.

Congrats on your new ebike! Accessories are an important part of the process and fun to select. Some suggestions: For safety — - A mirror. Really helps to see what’s coming behind you. I have Mirrcyle but of course other brands available. - Really bright lights, front & back. Still too...

A couple pics of a local garden. And my Pedego Element, Strawberry. Great city/town bike, excellent for stop and go traffic. I've been using it for errands instead of the suv. Really fun.

Maybe I’m getting a little jaded too. Newbies wanting an ebike under $1000/€990 and under 30 lbs/13 kg. Sometimes I simply watch and lurk in the extremely rare case they actually find one.

Welcome Keith! Nice ebike. I’ve heard great stories about Acadia Park and would love to someday be there, either hiking or cycling. Looking forward to seeing your adventures.
