He (or she) is in 'pre-assembly' at REI, pickup is tomorrow. I wonder if he's scared, all alone at the shop. Nah. Plenty of other bikes around to keep him company. And the vets seemed nice, too. I made sure they would feed him, because I'm riding him over 10 miles home. How will I sleep...

Only range anxiety for my longer rides on Seeker. My max was about 38 miles with just under 4,000 feet of vertical-- it's easy to remember, because I had about half a bar left, and I guesstimated my total range as 40 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical. This is a 46.7 pound bike with a 413Wh...

Yeah, I've heard that as well. There's got to be a way to do that. Thx.

Wow. Super helpful information. I studied my bike for two weeks, an hour or two a day, but I'm realizing there's a ton that I don't know about it. (Still awaiting delivery. Again, Performance Line SX, Grizl:ON CF 7.) Now what I'm nervous about is automatic updates via the Flow app. History...

Yeah, the Grizl:ON CF 7 went down to $4,000 US... and my willpower went out the window. It's shipped, and I can pick it up at REI in Burbank-- great to have local dealer support, particularly for a purchase this large. I will need two mods, that's a virtual certainty: The remote, which...

Don't ride with music anymore. In NY in the '70s, I did, but it did not end well. I prepared for one particularly insane city ride by making two identical cassette mixes and giving my buddy a second Walkman; the idea was that we would be listening to the same tunes at the same time. After...

My new bike will have a Performance Line SX, so I'm very curious about which modes to select. Like, which saves more juice, Eco or Eco+? Should I use Auto or Turbo+? Can I have two different profiles, one for fitness rides around the neighborhood and a second one for steeper rides with mixed...

Another 50 pound high-power eMTB. I wonder why am I not excited. One of my colleagues' husband had an 80nm eMTB-- I think some kind of CF Canyon Spectral ON-- and approached me about whether or not I wanted to buy it. It was 45 pounds or so, and I said it was too similar to the bike I already...

Good questions, Base. It would help if the OP listed the model of his motor--- but a quick search suggests that this should be fixable at the LBS. Here is an interesting thread that covers some of the finer points of tour vs. tour+, etc. Seems like this option is modifiable, but I'm not...

I had no idea, and I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so, so sad to see this-- indeed, he was a huge help when I started getting into eBikes, and was an essential part of holding this community together. Really appreciate your sharing this.

I'd love to, but it's about $3,000 more. For $4,500, the Griz ON7 is a lot of bike. Yeesh. But it isn't like the Motobecane, which is a pretty standard implementation of pretty standard parts. I'd worry about getting it serviced, and there are some user reports of some of them having...

I shouldn't be reading this thread. * From a very cursory review, it seems like swapping to a flat bar is not something people do, though folks do swap to other drop bars, drop bars with a rise, etc. Is there a reason for that? Apologies if this is a stupid question. I can ride drop bars...

I would probably stop the bicycle, tell them I was one of their neighbors, and ask the person to explain and identify themselves. Depending on their attitude, I might ask them flat out if they are threatening me. Sometimes, counter-intuitively, confronting someone can lead to a productive...

I was waiting for it... I knew someone here would come through! I SO MUCH want to talk about how much I love Penguins, particularly African penguins, who I got observe for hours at the Flamingo hotel in Vegas when... NO! I must not talk about penguins! Everybody, don't even THINK about...

We need to lock this thread. Quoted from the mods: "This is a site about electric bikes, not politics, religion or penguins." Free speech is a laudable goal, but it has never been the reality in the United States, except maybe in your own bedroom or neighborhood church, bar, or whatever...

For video, where the R100 (and the Fuji X-A5) has a huge advantage is audio. I think it may be slightly better than standalone audio recording w/ a Zoom field recorder w/ built in microphones, though I haven't done a head-to-head comparison. If there is a way to get good stereo audio on iPhone...

I do have to admit that iPhones seems to take better low-light gig photos than my mirrorless. I could probably get there with the R100, I can get results that are very similar, but I can't quite match the best iPhone shots. I think it's doing some kind of on-board processing, because the...

I don't want to be any deeper into Apple's ecosystem than I already am. I do use a five-year-old Macbook Air for work and for home recording and editing videos up to 25 minutes long, and it's great for that. I also have an iPad mini, I love for the form factor -- I use it mostly for writing on...

Yow! This is the most granular-- and useful-- breakdown of the whole hub-drive-doesn't-fit-the-dropout issue I could possibly imagine. I feel vindicated for paying my LBS do this for my first eBike, which was a front-hub conversion, rather than just grabbing a file from my toolkit and scraping...

Ouch for those who have damaged cameras while riding! I have experimented with several. For a total weight-weenie experience for the steepest climbs, I often brought some kind of early 2000s Canon Elph, even a few years ago, because my 'smart' phones were typically so cheap that their snapshot...
