    Thoughts on Cafe Lock removal?

    I agree and use the AXA cable on my Gazelle Arroyo. I recognize that a determined thief with the right tools can easily defeat this lock. But I think the cafe lock with the cable is about as good of a deterrent as any other unless you go to something extreme. It is easy to use and always available.

    Bike To Bike Communication

    I suspect 6zfshdb is correct about the range difference. I selected the EVO because from the documentation, it seemed like the pairing procedure was better on the EVO. I have never used the non-mesh Sena devices though so I can't confirm whether that is in fact true. I can say that our R1-Evo...

    2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Toyota discontinued the Avalon (in the US anyway) with the 2022 model and replaced it with the 2023 Toyota Crown sedan. The Crown is only sold with a hybrid drivetrain. I just bought one (my first Toyota) like the one in the photo below. I've only had it a couple of weeks and like it so far...

    Current etrike offerings and buying tips

    The Evelo Compass trike uses cadence sensing for pedal assist so I suspect you would not have liked it. Since it has a mid-drive motor, it is too bad that Evelo didn't incorporate torque sensing into the controller, but it is what it is. My wife has had her Evelo Compass for over 3 years now and...

    Hello from Everywhere! Friends and Visits?

    Hope that mount is solid ... otherwise those saw blades will make short work of the tire!

    Trike transport and rail trails

    Welcome to the forum AmyG! My wife has been riding a Evelo Compass etrike on rail trails in Iowa for 3 years. The Compass measures about 31" at the rear axle. Actually the handle bar width is about 26", and with a mirrycle mirror that sticks out another 4 inches from the left hand grip it is...

    REAL bargains

    The best ebike bargain for me has to be the first generation Bosch Nyon display/computer I bought on eBay in October of 2019 for $75 as an upgrade for the standard Intuvia display that came on my Gazelle Arroyo. Back in 2018/2019, after Bosch had replaced the original 1 GB version of the Nyon...

    My ETrike, Heart, Dog, Me, And Community

    Years ago my wife bought a new metallic red Miami Sun trike with a 3 speed hub. It was a beautiful well-made trike, but it was kind of a beast to ride, especially on hills. I didn't know anything about electrifying bikes or trikes back then, and she couldn't keep up with those of us on 2...

    Countersteering

    The counter steering explains why if you ride too close to the edge of a sidewalk or paved trail and try to turn back toward the center of the path, you almost always run off the edge you are trying to turn away from.

    Sena Helmet Battery Self Discharge

    I have 5 Sena R1 Evo helmets and have not experienced battery drain, although to be honest, I might not know because I generally charge them before every ride. The only time I have experienced the feedback squeal is when two helmets with intercom turned on are placed fairly close together...

    Current etrike offerings and buying tips

    My wife has a Evelo Compass etrike and is very happy with it. It is an easy to mount upright three wheeler, mid drive motor with a differential so both rear wheels can get traction when needed, throttle and pedal assist, 3 speed Shimano IGH, mechanical disk brakes with brake locks to make for...

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    Well, the verdict from Gazelle is in. They declined the claim my LBS opened to cover the battery rack failure under their 10 year frame warranty, The regular warranty on my 2017 Arroyo is expired, and unlike the previous poster in this thread, they would not cover it with the longer frame...

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    I am going to resurrect this old thread. As mentioned in my earlier post, I was able to make a repair that has worked very well (probably stronger and more stable than a new rack), so I have not pursued a warranty claim with Gazelle for the battery rack failure. But I took my bike into my LBS...

    eBike Connect Wrong Altitude

    Interesting .... I am familiar with Garmin automotive and handheld devices, but not with the Edge cycling devices or the Garmin Connect app. I found this Garmin knowledge base about elevation which I found interesting. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=dRY70Lc6yv2oY3eam1ZWxA#:~:text=The...

    eBike Connect Wrong Altitude

    I have observed the same thing using my gen. 1 Nyon and a Garmin Oregon 500. And if you take a long ride in changing weather conditions (barometic pressure changes) the elevation and elevation changes will be skewed even if you correctly calibrated the elevation at the beginning of your ride. I...

    Evelo, Gazelle, or Priority

    Many variables affect range besides the battery capacity ... wind, assist level, elevation changes, road/trail surface. I can get 65 to 80 miles on my Gazelle Arroyo with the 500 battery using Eco mode on a relatively flat paved trail and mild or no wind.
