Nonsense. Your opinion, novice or not, is certainly important. Like I said earlier, that Gazelle seems like a lot of bike for the money! Good luck. Oh, as for the value of the LBS… If you hang out around here long enough, or if you’re forced into it like I was (my direct-order bike company...

Thanks, guys! Learn something new every day.

Hey, @Chargeride how much does your HaiBike weigh? It’d be a bit of a struggle for me to toss Fättie over a fence. Great pix, by the way!! Lovely ride. Oh, and yeah, unfortunately the way some people ride, it’s true that e-bikes have developed a rep and scare some pedestrians. Usually it’s...

Hehehe, Yako… There’s very little hub motor love expressed here, especially by the folks who own fancy bikes and are looking for light weight. But, there is a minority of us that adore our hub drives… In my case, I think it’s a perfect match for my heavy fatty. And, as far as noise is...

Now that’s a recipe for deterioration. Yikes.

Oh, one other thing… The G062 classification is kind of a family of motors, not specific enough to actually order a part. You need to know exactly what Bafang motor you’re replacing, and the details are usually stamped into the metal casing of the motor. Like below:

You can find G062 motors, some even brand new, if you search around on amazon or eBay. I have a Juiced RipCurrent S with one of these motors, and I bought a spare online which I keep for the day (if it ever comes) when my motor croaks. That may never come. The motor is fantastic in my...

Interesting, 6… Well, I think you just ran into an annoying ranger. My bike has a honkin’ battery on the down tube as well. There’s no mistaking it for an unassisted bike. Then again, I don’t ride it hard unless I’m in a place where there are no pedestrians. There is a DCR (protects the...

Same here. Mine was a plastic cap. I always cover with a piece of electrical tape before I ride.

Boy, I think you got screwed, @6zfshdb What kind of bike were you on? I wonder if the rangers would give me s**t on my e-fatty? I hope not. I hope one of these days to make it down to the Cape and have @stompandgo show me around (before he buries me in a cloud of sand, that is). :D

Looks pretty slick, @Ringo9 !!! As a fellow fatty rider, I can only say that I love mine! I haven’t had any flats yet, but I think it depends on where and how you ride it. Gravel trails and rocky/rooty dirt trails don’t seem to cause me any trouble. Welcome aboard!

Kind of surprised Rad doesn’t have something for you, salary… Maybe they want you to buy a RadRover. Well, whatever… 🤷‍♂️ Indeed you should look into Wahoo or Garmin for a solution for your bike, although I’m sure you could get the Cateye to work. I think that gets another “whatever…” 🤷‍♂️

Nice, Chris. Good luck!

Hey, Base, do you have any instruction video or web link information on this type of suspension. I’d like to understand this better. I did some searching and I also tried to find some information about it on the Gazelle web site but found nothing relevant. Thanks in advance. Oh, I also...

Oh. That’s good news.

It’s hard to envision the problem without some pictures, H. Are you saying that the key is not inserting far enough to unlock it? If that’s the case, then some lock lubrication and probably a paper clip to get at the pins at the back of the lock might be needed. But, are you saying the bike...

I guess it’s an adjustable stem, @efair . Not at all clear on whether that’s something they expect customers to adjust or not as it looks like you need special tools for it. Not sure.

Couldn’t agree more, Jeremy! There are some times when I have wished that I didn’t live out here. But, not once since I’ve been riding my ebike!

That’s a pretty big surprise (to me) about the Cateye. I wonder what sensor(s) they are talking about. Well, best of luck, salaryman.

Greetings once again from the Massachusetts central rail trail:
