@JayVee @Chris Hammond I agree with your comments. In all honestly no one at this point really know for example what the true lifecycle is on a Bosch / Yamaha / Brose mid drive is going to be on average. There a lot of riders in the world with 20,000 km's plus on their mid drives and they are...

@DaveinMtAiry I completely understand. The Yamaha bike is a great option and if you have a 2K budget it would certainly be a good choice and you can't go wrong honestly. @Chris Nolte over at Propel has a good deal going on for the bike you mentioned...

@Chris Hammond nice to have input. My reason for recommending a mid drive and to answer some of the points you made are as follows: 1- While in theory this is true it really comes down to what quality of chains and sprockets are use. Certainly the first generation had these issues but as mid...

Definitely, Body Float or Cane Creek Thudbuster then if funds are an issue the Suntour. If touring the Suntour is OK but for more than that you want to go with the first 2 options.

@Jim Laslett From my experience basic no ebike chains can break quite easily on mid drive units. Prior to having ebike specific chains there were many times where riders would snap them out on the trails and it was not uncommon for new one's to snap on occasion. What may have happened here is...

@DaveinMtAiry, If price is a concern then go the Yamaha route if you are OK with spending a few extra $$$ I would search for a bike with the Bosch CX drive unit. This is the old Ford vs GM debate but for me I prefer the ride on a Bosch. Ask 10 people and you will get a mixed bag of responses...

@DaveinMtAiry A battery's total capacity is measured in Wh (watt hours). To calculate this you multiply the voltage x the ah (ampere hour). Example 1 : 36 volts x 10Ah = 360Wh Example 2 : 36 volts x 15Ah = 540Wh So when you compare the same ebike (style, drive unit etc....) the...

With such high mileage each year you will be way ahead buying a bike with quality components today. If this is going to be your primary mode of transportation, you need reliability, durability and you need it to be cost-effective. For high mileage riders the very basic MUST have's on a...

@Jim Laslett Just a couple of questions. 1- Did your bike come with the SRAM PC 113 chain? If yes by checking out the SRAM website and it seems this may not be a chain designed for E-bikes. I looked at the specs for the chain and no mention that the chain should be used on ebikes let alone...

Here is a video by one of our customers who built himself a trailer with panels. His video will show you what his real life experience was with a solar panel trailer that he built himself for his Pedego City Commuter.

@nashda Would you be able to provide some additional information on the battery please: 1- When did you purchase the bike / battery 2- One the battery itself there is a sticker on it. Can you advise me of the month and year indicated on the sticker 3- While voltage is one way to test it, that...

@Rob02150 like @Andy_in_CA says start fresh. Typically the bike rim manufacturers will label / mark their rims so you know what you have. If there is no marking then typically these are from mass produced companies and are of so so quality, so it may be hard if not impossible to get any specs...

@youth if this happens then there is an issue. Typically when this happens it's due to the following: - Spoke tension is too high for the rims - Applied load is higher than the rating (check with the manufacturer) - If you wheels have a low spoke count the wheels are certainly more susceptiable...

@chokdii Glad to hear your wife is OK though. Not a good experience for anyone to be involved in a collision with an automobile. While we do sell Igo's here at the shop the Metro was not one we sold as those were typically purchase at the larger chain stores. So we don't have any manuals to...

@John from Connecticut glad it was helpful and great to hear comments from a fellow rider who had this done and saw positive results. all the best, Will shop.scooteretti.com

@Arnel Philippines this would have been useful information in your earlier posts about having error codes developing on your bike. I have never had to open a Bosch drive unit on any of our trail bikes. This is the most likely reason why you are having error codes etc. on your bike. If you crack...

The vast majority of cyclist's don't need a high end saddle they need a properly designed and fitted saddle for their body type and riding position. If a rider selects the proper saddle for their position on the bike and has a saddle that supports the sit bones correctly that is more important...

Hello @John from Connecticut thank for your comments. The Brooks saddles have been around for a very long time. While some people swear by them personally they are not a saddle for me. Mostly because with some of their saddles it's takes way too long to break in and well nowadays I prefer...

@Boca, sorry to hear you are going through these issues. Normally things are really easy where it would take a few days to diagnose the issue and fix it. I'm very surprised that the box wasn't opened, batteries inspected and charged up fully prior to giving them (one) to you. This is what...

@Arnel Philippines, sorry to hear you are having issues with your bike and communicating with your dealer. Unfortunately with a Bosch unit a dealer needs to get it back and have it reprogrammed to work on your bike. As with some other systems like rear hub motors you just buy a new one and put...
