    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    I'm a bit envious. Not only for the great looking beverages and their pretty labels but also the mild temps you are experiencing. Our high for the next couple days is -5 F (-26 C), not to mention a nasty wind chill. Fireplace time!!

    Love Nespresso. When our 9 year old Keurig dies we’re gonna get a Nespresso.

    eBikes overtake Road Bikes

    OK AHicks, I need to respectfully disagree with your comment “No different that a conventional pedal bike.” A conventional bike, with minimal care, can last 10, 20, or more years. One of my cycling friends rides a 30 year old Giant road bike. I can’t imagine an ebike lasting 20 years, without...

    Best Electric Bike? I know it’s an opinion question, but I’m really new to electric bikes.

    Here’s a few more ideas to consider while you are planning your purchase. These accessories will complicate your budget somewhat. Very important for safety: - Bright butt-kicking lights, even if you don’t ride at night. So many distracted drivers out there so it’s be to be seen as far away as...

    Why does it seem Vado owners are getting KINEKT 2.1 vs Redshift Seat Post ?

    Same here, I’m at upper limit of the purple springs, including the extra 20 lbs. The rep said to use one purple and one black (next size up) spring and it’s fabulous now.

    Why does it seem Vado owners are getting KINEKT 2.1 vs Redshift Seat Post ?

    Ha ha Rochrunner, Does the class of ebikes make a difference in weight gain? A class 3 adds 20 lbs to the rider whereas a class one adds 10 lbs? 😆 😝 lol When I ordered the Kinekt seat post the rep from Cirrus said to add 20 lbs. He said bumps are magnified due to the increased weight and...

    Which commuter ebike? Specialized 2022 Como/Vado 5.0 vs 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    Wow Powersquad, those are some amazing accessories. Said a woman who knows the importance of “accessorizing”. Looking forward to your impressions on the Como 5.0. That bike is a my short list for my n+1 rule. I’m hoping to test ride one this Spring. It checks all the boxes with the exception...

    Whoops I did it again...

    Glad you weren’t hurt with your minor crash. And you were able to regain your “coolness” afterwards. Stay safe out there.

    GEN3 Outcross - A Good Budget E-bike?

    If your budget is 2,000 or less, there’s many options available. That’s a fabulous commute one way. Would a speed ebike (28 mph/45 mph) be part of your consideration? Your test rides will help narrow the field considerably. Hub drives, mid drives, components, etc, lots to choose. Send a...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Cheers to your son for cycling to work. If he can ride on a crummy day think how nice it would be in good weather. Is Santa bringing him an ebike for Xmas? 😀🚴🏾‍♂️😊

    OMG Am I losing it?

    Tom, Your safety is number one priority. The heck with efficiency, cosmetics, and what’s “in”. I’m totally hooked on step throughs. Real step throughs, not mid-steps marketed as a step thru. My Aventon Pace has nice step through and a throttle. Also the seat can be lowered enough so touching the...

    Greeting from a new member!

    Welcome Ruby Rider, It’s great to see you are addicted to ebikes, just like many of us. Well said, like being a kid again. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. That’s a nice looking bike, but an even better looking dog! 😊

    Greeting from a new member!

    This was Google’s translation. Anywhere close to being correct? Hello all. For 3 years, I installed the first engine in my wild strawberry, then I attached it to the rest of the bikes. Strawberry and Eries are bike tours, and Giant are mountains and forest. Nice bikes Irenty. Fajne rowery Irenty.

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

    Ronan, Get it before it’s gone! Don’t know about the availability in your area but here is U.S. ebikes are a super hot commodity and the shops can’t keep them in stock. You’re gonna love it. Feels like being a little kid again.

    2nd Test Ride

    Think about getting a suspension seat post. It will absorb all those bumps and vibrations. I use Cirrus Kinekt, which are a bit pricey but I love em. Others use Thudbusters and of course your Pedego dealer can help too.
