    First Impressions: New 2021 Ebikes from Diamondback!

    Mine was actually sold at Backcountry/Competitive Cycle when I bought it. They stopped carrying Diamondback and Raleigh shortly after I purchased it from them.

    First Impressions: New 2021 Ebikes from Diamondback!

    I had a 2016 DiamondBack Haanjo Trail. One of their better bikes from the 2016 lineup. Aluminum frame and carbon fork. Shimano Ultegra and FSA components. Decent bike for what I paid. Sold it recently to help fund my Orbea Gain purchase. I don't think they are the same company anymore. Same with...

    First Impressions: New 2021 Ebikes from Diamondback!

    The drives sure sound noisy in the video test ride. Maybe that's how all mid-drives are? I only have my Ebikemotion hub drive to compare to however.

    gain battery losing watts

    Geez. They better figure something out since the first Gain models are getting to the point where a battery replacement will be necessary.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    No, I usually just keep my phone in my seat bag, as I have a Garmin 1030 mounted to my bars along with the Orbea display/control. I'll have to figure out how to temporarily mount it to my cockpit.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    So, did you reduce L2 to 80 because the difference between L2 and L3 was too minimal like I'm noticing?

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I've been trying all 3 of the power modes, and I definitely feel very little if any difference between level 2 & 3. I checked the engine settings, and all 3 modes are at the default 100 setting. So I changed them to L1-50, L2=75, and L3=100. I'll try that on my next ride. My battery is down to...

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    I'll stick with either local or at least US brick and mortar bike shops that will ship name brand bikes and accessories then. I know Rad is a reputable company and buying from Costco has little risk, but other than that I'll stay away. Good luck to those of you who go this direct buy route, but...

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    So "nature of the beast" is to lie about stock availability and shipping times, then charge a fee when you don't deliver as promised and the duped customer requests a refund?

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    2-3 weeks shipping? Where the heck are they located? Not support in the US for sure. There are so many rip-off e-bike companies these days. Hope this works out for you. Be careful people.

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    The credit card company charges a business between 2&3%, and quite often reverses that either in full or partially when a refund is applied.

    eBikes USA - Denver Area Ebike Shop Tour, SONDORS LX First Look

    If they have no bikes to sell, then where did BikesDirect.com get them?

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    Sounds like a rip-off. List your product as being in stock with immediate or relatively fast shipping, then not deliver on that because they probably don't even have stock at all. Then to top it off, they charge 8% if you cancel something that hasn't even shipped? They will be out nothing by...

    eBikes USA - Denver Area Ebike Shop Tour, SONDORS LX First Look

    So these Diamondback models have not been released yet, but eBikes USA and now BikesDirect.com has them listed? Doesn't make sense. Did Diamondback just sell their name to BikesDirect.com? That's what it feels like. Like the Motobecane brand they have that has nothing to do with that brand's...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Well that's not good. I'm still waiting for my tuner to arrive from Volabike, but I thought my Garmin 1030 would still read the actual speed. That's disappointing.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Is that the only thing the dongle does, or are there other modifications that are performed to the original signals?

    2021 Orbea Gain m20i computer/bicycle synchronization

    I rode my 2020 Orbea Gain M20i for the first time today. In the middle of my 10.5 mile ride the display on the OC display/control completely shut off for no reason. I had to power it back on, and of course the timer started back at zero again. Anybody else had this happen?

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Is the motor in the SL models a proprietary design that's made for Specialized by Mahle then? Just trying to understand and get educated.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Must be a lot of misinformation on the web then. I found several articles stating that Specialized uses motors that are made by Brose.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    That didn't sound right, so I just checked and at least here in the US, all Specialized e-bikes are mid-drive and use a Brose motor.
