    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Stefan, with all the pictures of that wonderful Polish food and drink you keep posting, it is surprising that you are not as fat as I am. :)

    Popular Trail Segment in Iowa Closed by Vehicle Accident.

    I have ridden most of the trail from Solon on the south end up to Evansdale on the north end. The segment from Robins to CenterPoint is closest to where I live, so that is the segment we ride most often and of course that is the segment that got damaged. Because of my wife's health and the fact...

    Popular Trail Segment in Iowa Closed by Vehicle Accident.

    https://www.kcrg.com/2022/01/20/single-vehicle-accident-causes-trail-closure-linn-county/ Sadly, a garbage truck has taken down an overpass bridge on the popular Cedar Valley Nature Trail in east central Iowa north of Cedar Rapids causing this segment of the trail to be closed indefinitely. This...

    Best fast, comfortable bike for commuting/touring, under $4000

    Take a look at the Evelo Omega or Aurora Limited. I see they have raised their prices up to $4200, but otherwise meets all your req's.

    Bosch Enginge Swapping ( Active Line for Performance Line)

    This question is way beyond my pay grade, but my uninformed opinion is that the effort involved and risk of messing up two working ebikes far outweigh any potential gain you might realize.

    NY Times 11/17/2021 - From Electric Bikes to ‘Tree Equity,’ Biden’s Social Policy Bill Funds Niche Items

    Getting that bill through the Senate and on Biden's desk to sign is still a remote prospect IMO.

    Why I just replaced rear disc with calipers.

    My Gazelle Arroyo ebike has Magura hydraulic rim brakes. When I was first looking at ebikes, I wanted disc brakes, so it was a disappointment that Gazelle Arroyo used the rim brakes. But I liked everything else about the Gazelle and decided to go with it. Now that I have owned it for 3 years I...

    Offset seat post

    I use one like this on my Gazelle Arroyo. To fit me correctly, my Gazelle should have the next size larger frame than the one I have, but I bought it as a previous year's model at a close out price, so I had no choice on the frame size. The seat was always a little too far forward to suit me...

    Cube Kathmandu Pro 625 e-bike: can I mount Nyon BUI275 on the Intuvia bracket?

    There is lots of info in this old thread about the intuvia to nyon retrofit: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/nyon-retrofit.16260/. You can ignore the references about the hacks we used to have to do to get around the Bosch download restrictions for North America. Bosch has long...

    Fall hazards

    Black walnuts on the trail are a hazard in the fall where I live. When the leaves start falling they can make the walnuts difficult to see.

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    Thanks for that info. I hope my LBS that I purchased my Arroyo from will pursue that warranty replacement rather than charge me an arm and a leg to repair it.

    Gazelle Arroyo C8 (2018) rack fail

    Aaarrrrrggghhh!!! My 2017 Arroyo now has this failure. It has been ridden only on paved trails and has 1500 miles. But even paved trails have bumps which can make the battery bounce pretty hard. The battery rack on this model has a definite design flaw and is under engineered. I have been able...

    Is There an eTrike with a Narrow Footprint?

    The rear axle on my wife's Evelo Compass e-trike is approximately 29 inches. The Compass is a conventional upright trike with 2 rear wheels (not a recumbent). I don't think you would want to go much narrower on this type of trike because of the tip-over hazard. Even with the 29" axle, you have...

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    I mentioned early on in this thread that I had bought a few shares of Shimano stock about a year ago; mostly to have something fun to watch related to the ebike industry. The Shimano stock did pretty good at first, then kind of flattened out and went down some this spring. But the last couple of...

    Are Bosch Purion Controller speed calculations accurate?

    Inflated speed display with several controllers has been discussed in several threads regarding different brands and models. Many people have observed this when they use a GPS receiver beside their ebike display. The GPS speed will consistently show 1 to 2 MPH slower than the ebike display. I...

    RAGBRAI 2021

    It is RAGBRAI week in Iowa. Are any EBR members participating with their ebikes? If so how did you arrange for daily battery recharging?

    LBS introduced me to Gazelle ebikes

    My Gazelle Arroyo is in its 4th season and I still love it. I have had no problems with it. Gazelle makes a quality ebike.

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    Don't know Buick's as well as some other models, but I am going to guess mid 60's because of strait body lines and trim... maybe '62 to '66 range. Could google it, but more fun to guess.
