    Weight on 350W

    I'm 250 lb. I really like the Evo 27.5. Is the 350W motor enough to help me through hard packed trails with a few gentle hills? Looking to lose some weight so it will only get better with time. Still think I need 500w or more. Any comments are welcome, except skip a meal fat boy. Thanks.

    2015 Surface 604

    Anyone have any update on the new Surface 604? All there website says is "something special coming your way". I would love to test ride on if I can find a dealer anywhere in the MD, NJ, VA, DE area, but unlikely. Found this site and was told when i called that it is the same bike as Surface...

    Anyone have any experience with Bat Bikes. Www.bat-bike.com Coming to a local dealer and I am looking at the Big Foot. Obviously Chinese made but good recommendations from my local dealer so far, from what he knows. Delivery expected in 3 to 5 weeks. Good discounted price and looks like OK...

    Easy Motion USA Introduction

    I am very interested in the Evo 27.5 or Evo Cross. Any plans to provide throttle mode when in pedal assist? This would be a very nice feature to have. Plus a trigger throttle versus twist grip, and these bikes would be close to perfect. Thanks.

    What's Your Dream Electric Bike?

    I agree. I'm in the market for an ebike now but am holding off until the Copenhagen Wheel is released and the real product can be tested and reviewed. If it works as well as they say and can produce a 500w version, it could be an industry game changer

    Similar Bikes?

    Am I alone in thinking these bikes look alike? Different brand names, but almost identical specs? One from US, one from Switzerland, one from Canada, one from some factory out of China. Yes, Stromer has some high tech features, but you pay a premium for this bike and dearly for any upgrades...

    Volton Alation 500 Speed Increase

    Thanks George. Your posts are great and very insightful. Actually the two Diamondback bikes were are considering have the rear hub fearless drives, thus the concern for the rear battery and weight in the rear on the ladies bike. Both have the same motor and power. I think my wife would be...

    Superpedestrian Copenhagen Wheel

    Any thoughts on this new product soon to be released? Looks perfect for my wife's 26 in hybrid with little or no interaction needed from the rider, any easy installation. Just wish they had it in 500 w or higher but maybe down the road. Just looking for light trail use to extend rides and...

    Buying direct from Asia; Alibaba

    Thanks George. Your e-mails always seem to be the voice of reason and insightful. As I mentioned before, many of the bikes on the sites like Alibaba allow for a minimum of 1 per order and look like they provide all the specifications clearly, to address the previous e-mail. I think the dirty...

    Buying direct from Asia; Alibaba

    Does anyone have experience buying e-bikes directly from Asia through a site like Alibaba. Some of the bikes can be purchased individually. The more research I do, the more it appears that most of the e-bikes sold in the US are coming in from Asia as many of the bikes on Alibaba for example...
