    Distance per charge? Nuances?

    Hey folks, I need some perspective from some of you ebike vets please. I'm trying to learn the nuances of how far I get on a battery charge, get to know my bike, and how far I can go, etc. . When my manufacturer says my bike gets up to 50 miles on a single charge, what exactly does that mean...

    Reaction to first ebike experience

    Thanks Rich. You're quite the writer. Every day, since I bought the bike, if the weather permits, I want to go out for a ride, just for the hell of it. And not anywhere special either. Just out on the streets. That alone makes it all worth it! I know the novelty will wear off somewhat, but...

    Magnum Peak Thread

    Hi. I have a fairly new Magnum Peak. Very pleased so far, but finding surprisingly little on this forum regarding them. Just looking for other Peak owners to share and compare thoughts and experiences with the product. How long you had it? How is the power working for you? How is your...

    Is it spring yet??

    Well City, we may just have to schedule a meeting. In particular, I’m looking for some beautiful off-road terrain (or at least not busy pavement) to explore with my new bike . Open to suggestions. Brewster of course is quite close. Joe suggested a trail earlier which sound interesting...

    Is it spring yet??

    Joe, I was at an outdoor wedding in Tarrytown overlooking the Hudson river on Saturday at 5 PM. I can attest to the amazing change in temperatures literally during the ceremony. The winds blew and that cold front came flying in fast. Actually quite an interesting phenomena. I also had riden...

    Is it spring yet??

    Weird day here. Poured buckets early and 40°F. Then by mid afternoon it cleared and got up to 58. So I hopped on my mtn ebike with the knobby tires and explored near a couple of typically small brooks that were raging. Gorgeous. My point is that my new hobby allows me to go places in nature...

    Is it spring yet??

    I choose to cling to that believe that spring will come to the US north country before July. I hear it happens every year.

    Is it spring yet??

    Chris, I appreciate your thoughts and I’m learning from a couple of your strategies. I’m on a learning curve that you and most are far past. For instance still learning the capacity of my battery... or determining that I can actually go on certain busier or narrow local roads and be...

    Is it spring yet??

    It arrived, briefly! Finally had 2 wonderful days in CT where it hit 70. Then, as Tina said, it dropped like a rock. But I got out both days! I'm still in my honeymoon phase and completely bonkers over the liberating feeling of being out AND with the ability and freedom to go anywhere I feel...

    Best mirror type?

    Hey Joe. Yep, a bit much for me. Good read though. And no shortage of creativity here!

    Best mirror type?

    Thanks Tina. Since it’s so cheap, and so am I, I’m starting with this. I’ve had a few days and certainly agree about the learning curve and agree that it works and a solid product! For now, it’s a keeper. At some point, I would like to also explore some of the other handlebar alternatives...

    The four best words..

    You bet Tiny, and sorry about this delayed response. Thank for the video. Gotta love this technology and the freedom and fun it is allowing all of us, no matter our age. You have a few years on me, but I'm right behind you. (I'm 62). Hope you have a great riding season! Waiting for some warm...

    G, wonderful that your leaders over the years have made you so energy green and independent. We can only dream of such progressive things in the US.

    Battery placement prissiness

    [QUOTE="charlesbrenthirak, post: 137769, member: 17765" Like this type design a lot. Enjoying this thread btw. For me esthetics matter. I looked so hard to find that perfect balance of price, stealth, bells & whistles, design and power. My number was about $2000. I love the look of the euro...

    Doctor's letter

    Thank you. Well put, IMO. Big topic of course. Too big for here. I run my own biz also. If the infrastructure and system we're not it place, it would not be possible. It's a privilege I do not take lightly.
