I'm with you PowerMe: two batteries ftw. My Optibike Pioneer Allroad has two separate battery strength readouts: one is in the King LCD display on the dashboard and the second one is directly on the Battery. And for my money they're both wrong. I fix Macs for a living and went to night school in...

How dare that Elf pilot? (If you could have kept up, you should have have recruited her for the Team, cap'n.) Go Team EBR! Allen

Don't want to further muddy the waters here, but she might want to consider the Optibike Pioneer City. Allen

Haven't hit a chipmunk yet. I guess I'll just have to keep trying!

No fair Ken. I think Jesus is pushing you. :) Have a nice Sunday. Go Team EBR! Allen

Sorry Ann M. I meant to say, give yur miles to the Team, please. In the name of team spirit, I just went out and did my four-mile end-to-ender on Dugway Road and got pretty well-soaked for my troubles. I hope things clear up before the fireworks tonight. But Independence Day isn't about...

Yeah Ann M. Ken posits a good question. Give yur miles to the Team. Go Team EBR! Allen

yeah, it's spitting rain here and I have a Saturday off! gonna' do a four mile end-to-end on my road before it rains in earnest. Happy Independence day Team EBR! Allen

All good thoughts to ponder. I replaced the stock saddle on my new Optibike Pioneer Allroad so fast I don't even know what it was. I had a black Brooks B17 Special waiting and—now that it's had over 900 miles to get accustomed to my butt—we're getting along just great. I just had to snug up the...

Wowzer! What is it with these psycho little guys? I almost pranged a chipmunk on my commute home today. It stood in the middle of Farnam Road and dared me to hit him. Then he started to run around. I used the same strategy I do when squirrels challenge me in a car; I aim right at 'em. That way...

I ride a B17 Special and I think that it's best to use Proofide as Brooks recommends, but do so sparingly. I had a B17 on my old Trek 720 (the real Trek 720 with the Cinelli bars, etal,) and I knew that I wanted to ride a Brooks again when I got my good eBike. Now that I've been riding for nine...

Nice bike. I like the matching scooter too. Make sure she registers at the National Bike Challenge, eh? Go Team EBR! Allen

I guess Brambor is our Captain, but Ken you are most certainly running the cheerleading squad. FWIW, after commuting on the Grey Ghost yesterday, I went out last night and did the 4.5 mile end-to-ender on my road (the WX was that nice). Since I rode in to work today, I just went to the NBC...

Wowzer Ken, you are truly rocking it down there in Florida. Great job. It's on again, off again rain here, and when it rains it pours, eh? To wit, the closed bridge at the end of my road is now barricaded while they replace it. So my one-mile ride to my favorite AA meeting is now nine miles...

Hey Ken M: I'm doing my part. I just found out how to check my local stats. I'm number one in Falls Village, Connecticut. (Of course I'm the only registered rider in my village of 1,287 souls.) In the state of Connecticut, we have 704 riders registered in the National Bike Challenge, and I'm...

Actually not so brilliant. I work with a nurse and she told me they have to type your blood before they'll give you any, even if you (or your Road ID) tells them what it is. So don't worry about leaving it off yours. Allen

Come to think of it PETA must stand for puppies eating tasty animals, right? BTW, I just jumped on a grenade for the team. I commuted to work on the Grey Ghost and the rain started about three hours before it was supposed to this afternoon. So I had the pleasure of riding home in the rain. Had...

I must say I'm surprised that the torque figure is so modest. But it's the gears that count, and this bikes got 'em and knows how to use 'em. I can climb the hill I descend on the fat side of 38 mph without using the granny chainring on my Allroad's touring triple. Allen

Yeah my Allroad goes almost 22 on throttle, but obviously you can pedal it faster. Then there's coasting. I've been North of 38 mph going down Brinton Hill Road behind my cottage; woot! Allen

Wowzer thanks for the video Ravi. I know these machines rock, but I must say they're as ugly as homemade sin. Also, noisy. I have an Optibike Pioneer Allroad, and it's as quiet as a church mouse. I know the R8 has buckets more power, but I think Optibike have come a long way. I had heard they're...
