Ravi, I think you hit the nail on the head - uneven cadence. On my next ride, probably in the morning, I will pay attention to my cadence. Thanks for your input, Ravi.

Thanks MLB. It is a pedalec. I've been up to 30mph, according to the display, on the flats. I plan to add a cadence bike computer, then do some formal tests, and share them with Currie.

Assist is not limited to 20mph. I've gone as fast as 28 mph. The 'pulling' back effect may be the motor disengaging for a bit, then, engaging again

My results, so far, are very mixed. A few days ago I was able to get past 28mph on flat, well paved roads in Roseville, CA. But, the bike is, out of the blue, pulling back, again. First, it was at 20mph when I was at the first assist level. After talking to REI tech support, which read the...

I purchased my 2016 Trace EXC from REI for $1800 and it looks like Diamondback is out of the ebike business. I went back and forth and several models and went with REI because of their return policy. I have concerns about REI's commitment to ebikes because to get support has not been 100...
