    E-trike questions

    I have seen the ELF in person. It is not something that would fit on a bike path and really doesn't have a bike feel to it. Not something you can pick up or transport. It does have its place though.

    E-trike questions

    Love the Kiffy. I have a daughter that has never been able to ride due to balance issues. This trike with a Flyky would be great. Doesn't look like a granny bike.

    2015 Models hit shops in San Diego yesterday...

    I was watching your video and really like the front light. I think it is a Supernova E3 V6s but have never seen one with a handlebar mount. Did it come standard on the bike or was it an add on? I want one. BTW - I am still mourning the loss of not getting the Turbo X after reading your...

    2015 Models hit shops in San Diego yesterday...

    For some reason, even after reading your comments, I still want the bike. Other than the loss of power issue (which is huge) how did it compare to the Stromer? You sure do ride FAST! I am more comfortable around 18-20 but want to ride into mid 20s if the need arises.

    2015 Models hit shops in San Diego yesterday...

    I am very curious about what you think of the Turbo X. I talked with Specialized customer service last week. He assured me that a 2" wheel, such as Big Ben's, would fit. The guy had an X in his office and he actually measured for me. I would like to know the torque on the X but the...

    Specialized - Front Suspension Fork

    Finally back on and thought I would comment. Ravi - the $4500 was at my local Specialized dealer. It is a 2014 Turbo S. They have 4 of them and haven't sold one yet. A really AWESOME bike for that price. I am interested in front suspension to cushion the ride up front. I had surgery on my...

    Thanks for your replies. Really helpful. Chris - can you suggest a "balloon" tire with some tread on it, please?

    Specialized - Front Suspension Fork

    I have the opportunity to buy a brand new RED Turbo S for $4,500. But I want a front suspension fork. Has anyone added a fork? Or should I just wait for the Turbo X. Did I mention how much I love the red.

    Specialized Turbo - only Eco and Turbo modes only

    Well ... I keep looking for the perfect ebike. I thought I found it with the upcoming Specialized Turbo X. Although I was looking at the new Bosch bikes, I think I am not ready to come out into the open that I am riding an ebike. I like the hidden battery of the Specialized and it's somewhat...

    Was Turbo X at Interbike?

    Thanks Chris. I look forward to hearing your impressions once the X arrives at your store.

    Was Turbo X at Interbike?

    Too bad. I was hoping for a thorough report on the Turbo X. The Turbo X seems like a good option if I want a not so obvious electric bike versus the Bosch bikes. I am thinking I should wait until the 2015 bikes are out and reviewed before I make any decisions.

    Was Turbo X at Interbike?

    For those of you who were at Interbike, was the Specialized Turbo X on display. Did anyone have a chance to demo it? If so, what are your thoughts?

    Grace MX2 - the coolest

    You both have the valid points I was concerned about. I am very sad.

    Haibike Trekking or Hardtail 29er

    Thank you for the great response. The 2015 trekking model has a step through version that I like. I never thought of wider tires. What would you recommend?

    Haibike Trekking or Hardtail 29er

    I am looking to possibly get a Haibike. I will be riding for fun on mostly country roads and bike paths - no off-road MTBing. I am mostly interested in a bike with great hill/foothill climbing abilities. The Haibike Trekking appears to be more of a hybrid bike (fully decked out) with more...

    Grace MX2 - the coolest

    The Grace MX II Urban with suspension fork is one of my finalists for a new ebike. However, I called a handful of bike shops listed on their website and four indicated they hadn't decided whether or not to carry Grace. Should I be concerned about dealer support for the Grace bikes?
