My wife who is 76 has the Evelo Compass e-trike which she likes very much (https://evelo.com/products/compass). With 2 batterries installed, it weighs about 90 pounds. She started with a 2 wheel Blix Aveny ebike which she also liked, but developed some health problems after a couple of years...

Bicycle would be much easier to transport than a trike. The best thing you could do is find a local bike shop that has some ebikes in stock and do some test rides. That will help you narrow down what you like/don't like in ebike styles and features. A couple of the main decisions will be...

It would be nice if the R1 Evo had some way to alert others using your channel with something like a beep to tell them to switch on their intercoms. We use the intercom feature almost exclusively and leave it turned on during our ride except when we stop at a rest area we will sometimes listen...

Ha Ha! Don't know what duck duck go is, but thanks for helping me restore a little faith in my recall memory. As far as the Rambler, I think it is a '59, or maybe a '58. Back in the day, my dad had an Ambassador of that approximate vintage.

I used to know and recognize these chevy models from 2 blocks away, but memory doesn't serve me so well any more. To me it looks more like a '64.

Good question. I would like to know too.

My experience and observations with GPS and ebike speedometer/odometer pretty much matches what Stefan is saying. GPS inaccuracies of point positioning (sometimes referred to as GPS drift) when measuring an entire route would tend to give an inflated distance over the straighter line of travel...

From what I have observed, the Bosch Team have been amazingly helpful to members in this forum. While there may be product shortcomings that can't be resolved to your satisfaction, at least give them a chance to try to help resolve your complaints.

You might be able to use one of those Presta to Schrader adapters, assuming you can remove the core in both the presta and the adapter.

That is surprising (and not good) that it would pick up a stray call from a phone that wasn't paired. Have you updated the firmware on your Evo helmets? My helmets came with the original 1.0 firmware and the voice command feature was flawed and not very useful. They updated the firmware last...

Last weekend when my son and I were riding on a local trail with our R1 Evo's, all of a sudden we were picking up conversation from 2 or 3 other riders. This is the first time that has happened. They were nowhere that we could see them so they must have been somewhere at the edge of our range...

I am guessing most of us e-bikers have a story interesting to us, but probably not documentary material ... in my case, just a couple of old farts being able to get out of the recliner and back on a bicycle with a confidence that we can take a ride of decent distance and make it back up the hill...

@Alaskan ... Now that you have first hand experience with both the old and new Nyon, do you feel the same way about the "usefulness and functionality". What things on the new Nyon do you like better than the original? Are there things you prefer about the original version over the new model? My...

I'm starting my 4th riding season with my '17 Gazelle Arroyo (purchased in 2018) ... still love it as much as I did on day 1. :)

Stefan, what awful news! I am a cat guy and so sorry to hear about your kitty. All my best wishes for you to rebuild your property and recover your losses. Glad to know you are OK.

Are you using the barometric altimeter on your Garmins or the GPS elevation (from the satellites)? If you are using the barometric altimeter do you calibrate it when starting a ride? I have found on my Garmin Oregon 550, that the elevation readings can vary widely (by a couple hundred feet or...

We probably need to be careful referring to them as "husky" ebikes, since there is already a Husky branded bicycle (conventional bikes, not ebikes at this time) https://huskybicycles.com/.

I would like to say how much I appreciate the "Bosch Team" participation in this forum. It is one more example that Bosch is a "Class Act".

I had FedEx do the same thing to me about a month ago with a bulky item (furniture, not eBike.) The original estimated delivery was 3 days (NY to Iowa) and was to arrive on a Friday in Feb. They got it as far as PA in the first two days and let it sit there for 5 days. After about 3 days they...

I went on a 26 mile ride on my ebike today. The last half of the ride was against a strong cold headwind. I tried to maintain the pace on Eco mode, but had to give in and bump up to Tour mode to finish the ride. After a winter of inactivity and based on my body aches tonight, I aged from 74 to...
