I bought my EG Zurich 350IX just after turning 60 y/o. A few months away from turning 65, I can hardly believe how fast time flies. My wife says there is no better time than now to get that new e-bike. I've been waiting for that next model with all the features I want.

Your thoughts are very well stated, Alberto! I wholeheartedly agree that there should be some revelation expressed about wobble characteristics of any bike when considering a bike's design, balance, and weight distribution in relation to speed and rider physical characteristics such as height...

Being a heavier than average rider myself at 230-240#, -varying during a typical year, I too have experienced speed wobble on a couple of different bikes. Before my 1st ride on the EG Zurich 350 IX (step-thru design), I wondered what was the purpose of the front fork "deflopinator", and...

I'm looking for opinion and advice. Since 2014, I've been commuting about 1500 miles a year on a decent e-bike. The EG Zurich is an entry-level commuter style which has been a very reliable "steed". Having gone through the ordeal of replacing the battery, and still enjoying the sensation of...

A Nexus hub isn't any worse than dealing with an electric hub on the rear wheel, the Nexus hub is essentially maintenance-free. Sure, I understand the inconvenience of tire and tube replacement, wheel truing, and any work with on rear wheel. Mounting the bike in a bike stand, working in an...

Very Curious why a Nexus hub isn't being utilized more on e-bikes. The EG Zurich has a Nexus 7 speed hub which compliments the 36v 350 watt front hub nicely. It is my understanding that the Nexus 8 speed can handle the torque output of a crank motor set-up.

When Will The Raleigh Motus With The Nexus 8 Speed Hub Become Available In The USA?

Using a throttle lever or twist grip is not generally a "no-pedal" situation for an e-bike. Except for making high-speed tight right turns, I never stop pedaling a bike. Cadence control is all about shifting into the proper gear. Using the throttle control is ideal for a temporary assist to...

A major power consideration with batteries is capacity. Battery capacity is stated as "Ah", (Amp hours like the 6.6Ah and 7.8Ah), and is a limiting factor for determining how far you can travel between a recharge.

Hi, Diane I recently saw a link to RideGenesis: https://ridegenesis.com/collections/electric-bicycles/products/crosstown-hybrid-electric-bike-nero Prices seem unbelievably low. I did note that battery capacity was very low at 6.6Ah and 7.8Ah, but the Black Friday price ($799) on the Crosstown...

" To say the least, I would be UPSET!

Wow, J.R.! I've just read your "wobble"question. Do you assume that a liquid compound in bike tubes contributes to wobble? While wobble is a serious issue if trying to ride "no-hands" -it's impossible to do with my e-bike. I attribute the e-bike wobble situation to the geared hub motor.

Looks good to me!

the 36-volt battery pack refurbishment cost was quoted at $490 delivered. I am awaiting the work to be completed right now.

Your description reads just like the experience I had with my bike. After 300 recharge cycles providing reliable power for more than 5100 miles, the controller started cutting off power to the motor early into the ride while the battery still registeres adequate power levels. The diagnosis...

After yesterday's phone conversation and some additional detailing via e-mail RPE and I reached an agreement on rebuilding my 36V battery pack to 15Ah capacity -a 3Ah increase above the original 12Ah capacity! I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this deal. Further, I am grateful for the helpful...

from Sean Turner: 1:02 PM (10 minutes ago) to me Nice if you have a 350W motor we will use those cell as we actually have those in stock but they are testing at around 3000mah which will put you at 36v 15amp hour battery which should be around 450$ is this ok...

So I forwarded the battery cell info to RPE and they expressed some informed opinion with a reply back: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Today from Sean at RPE: Good fine but are you aware those cells only have a 1C peak? This means that they are not able to handle a huge load and...
