Flying back to DC today. Goodbye Adelaide, & thank you!

Stuart from Cit-e-bike, he is an ebike enthusiast. Good experience renting a folding ebike for a week. Stuart mentioned they are moving location at the end of this year.

To the Murray River dark sky reserve, my trip timing coincided with a waxing moon which was great for looking at the planets through binoculars, but not fainter objects. The ASSA ‘sky this month’ video on their YouTube channel was helpful. Loved seeing a meteor!

Hi Jeremy, very kind of you to think so but to use a popular Australian colloquialism “Yeah, nah” (no) I’m just an e-bike rider, a typical middle-aged ‘Fred’ among cyclists, grateful to Court Rye and the EBR team for making this archive of e-bike reviews available, and for moderating this...

Yes, this sign post in Gumeracha points to my home near Washington DC 10,000 miles away.

Thank you. I‘ll be in Australia until next Friday. I enjoyed reading the ride report. The map on post #6268 looked familiar as I drove through Birdwood on the way East to the Murray River earlier this week. Great stargazing there on the other side of the Adelaide hills.

Visiting Adelaide, South Australia. The city of Adelaide has working phone booths offering free wi-fi, handy! Many roads have painted bike lanes. Food delivery rig with a massive battery Torrens river linear park trail is a comfortable, flat, 45 minute ride from the CBD to the coast...

Bike Europe reports another Dutch ebike brand QWIC has gone bankrupt

Then good luck with your used ebike hunting, interested to read what you think of the used bikes you test ride at the Gazelle shop. I understand about the riding position, I bought some Dutch bike parts from an online seller to raise the stem so I am upright

The Gazelle mechanic is correct, assuming the bike has an internal geared hub like a Shimano Nexus 7 or 8, the rider should pause pedaling, shift gear, then resume pedaling. Even with shift detection or a motor cut-out gear sensor, power is an issue, I have broken two Nexus 8 IGH with my BBS01...

Perhaps I should clarify, I don‘t recommend buying an ebike from any brand with an Impulse motor of 2014-16 vintage. The documented problems on the British and German Pedelec forums I posted in the link above should make anyone think twice.

No, but I admire their Bosch and Shimano Steps powered ebikes.

Avoid. Impulse mid-drive motors are unreliable.
