    Guessing the frame is used-up

    After 4.years, 504 rides, with 488 hours and nearly 8400 miles (8394) on my EG Zurich, I discovered some cracks in the down tube by the bottom bracket. I'm guessing the frame is kaput. I was in progress replacing/upgrading the rear wheel from a 7 speed Nexus hub to an 8 speed and replacing the...

    Where Is The Perfect 2019 Commuter E Bike?

    Of course! For me, that perfect ebike upgrade should have an internally geared 8+ speed rear hub , a mid drive capable of at least at least 70+ Nm of force, at least a 48 volt battery with a 600 Wh capacity. Additionally, Fenders, Lights, a front suspension fork and a rear rack, all for less...
