I do most of my braking using front and rear when front wheel is pointed relativally straight ahead. Using the front wheel break when doing a slow sharp slow turn and the wheel will tuck in under you. Been there done that.

I too live in AZ where my garage gets to 110+ degrees so I bring my bike into the house to minimize the chance of the heat damaging batteries, or other heat sensitive components. Whether it preserves anything is a good question. Why take a chance with an expensive piece of equipment when it is...

Hits the nail on the head. Very well said.

I agree. Putting a motor on a bike to assist the rider should have as many ways to do that as possible. Yes, a throttle being one of them.

It doesn't't seem prudent to be riding a bike 27 miles from home in the condition you are in without someone you can call to rescue you and bike if needed.

Not so. My Juiced combined the two very well. Smooth power delivery feeling very natural.

I have a Prodigy ST with over a thousand miles on it. It is my third bike and no complaints on this brand what so ever. LOVE IT. Would buy another Prodigy from Ride1up in a hartbeat.

You gotta make it sound like it is her idea.

I believe the motor & gearbox in one unit is the future for ebikes. It should be cheaper to build motor & transmission in one unit than two separate unites.

It is hard to stop progress and my take is this is the ultimate all in one drive train principle and the future for refined electric bikes. It just makes sense. Nothing stays the same! Never has and never will. When Ford Motor Co. designed the Ford tractor without a frame with the motor...

That is not necessarily correct. My mid drive did not have a smooth power delivery at all.

I have had two other brand bikes and now have a Prodigy ST. The Prodigy feels and looks superior in so many ways. The high end German motor is so quiet, smooth and gives a natural feeling power delivery that is free of jerking, surges etc. The geometry of the bike just feels right. The bike...

Something else to discuss. What about two wheel machines splitting lanes. Personally I am for it. One just has to watch out for the grump who sees you coming and opens his car door just before you get to his car. So many people just seem to hate bicyclists so we need to be courteous and...

I too live in Tucson, AZ. For years I have wanted to haul my bike to to the top Mt Lemon and ride down but never have. If anyone has please comment on the ride.

You can rest assured it isn't a high enough grade stainless steel for a magnet to not stick.

If it is aluminum a magnet won't stick, steel it will.

The kickstand is holding the bike too upright so when tire goes flat it stands straight up and tips. Shorten the kickstand .

Letting up when shifting just makes sense to ease the strain on the system. A torque system can keep power on just a bit when one lets up peddle pressure so as to not have an on and off feel if peddle pressure is interrupted momentarily. That could be annoying as he##. I have found for instant...

You answered your ow question. One word. SAND. You need an IGH with a belt drive.

I too have a Prodigy. Mine does cut power when shifting but only for a split second. It is nearly undetectable.
