I have found in the past few years saying anything has become nearly useless since everyone is wearing pods and can’t hear anything anyways. That being said I still say bike on your left and slow down a b it and say thank you or have a good day. Most seem to appreciate it but I also get a small...

That’s a great review from a guy clearly putting miles on his ebikes. Nice video and appreciate all the points he made. Definitely on my short list for my next commuter bike.

I don't have any advice on the hill issue, but just wanted to say that bike looks so cool with the little one in the back! We had the basic pull behind trailer with regular bikes when our kids were real little and sure wish I would have found ebikes then because those were rough to pull at...

Riding an ebike and selling my my car has freed up a lot of cash flow that I am able to spend on a lot more fun activities than a car. For example we are flying out to Phoenix in a couple of weeks and just bought Suns vs Celtics tickets for my son and I so we can see Booker and Tatum. The roi on...

Great post and replies, this is my first winter biking with an e-bike and it's starting to hit 30's and 40's degrees F and I'm definitely seeing the range drop off a bit. I'm storing battery inside house anytime it's not on bike which is only about 40 minutes per day. I am debating on getting a...

In my small town, I only bike the same three or four places and all have suitable locking or are very low traffic areas and quick stops so I just run in and don’t sweat my bike like the coffee shop and butcher. Park inside at my office which is great! Not so much in the big city I used to live...

Great tip! Will give it shot this weekend to take the elastic off. I have a heated garage and park the bike inside my office so shouldn't ever be doing anything in extreme cold thankfully. Tried the bar mitts on Thursday and they work great! Just for fun, I went back to normal gloves this...

Good call! I think I will wait to use them for those types of days. My Thursday ride is forecast at 36 degrees at 7AM which seems like a good pair of gloves will still work just fine, total commute is under 20 minutes so don't get all that cold and right when I get uncomfortable, I can see my...

Just got my bar mitts installed, a bit bulkier than I expected but we’ll see how they work on Thursday when I ride to the office!

Saw this headline, I had kicked around buying one of these as a "starter" e-bike off Amazon and ultimately decided to spend a bit more and get an Aventon Pace 500 and have been very pleased that I spent a bit extra. I've seen a few on the bike paths and talked to the owners and they have said...

This will be my first winter riding in Illinois after moving from Arizona, can already feel the temps dropping pretty good. Was about 40 degrees F on the way in to the office this morning and pretty brisk. The balaclava was a big help and also growing my beard out right now. I have some alpaca...

I'm curious about this and would love to not buy a thermal wrap for $20 if I don't have to. My ride is only about 17 minutes long. I can store my battery in my house at home and store my bike inside my office when I get there too so the battery is in the elements for less than 40 minutes total...

Good to know! I've kicked around having the LBS take them out when I rotate my tires. I don't plan to get them on my next bike and will definitely be getting front shocks (big mistake on my part not getting front shocks). Flats were a big hassle out in the dessert (cactus needles) where I lived...

I paid a decent amount for Tannus Armous inserts (over $100 total for 2 tires if I recall to be installed by LBS) and have been very pleased with them. They add some weight and definitely add rolling resistance which chews up a bit of battery but have given peace of mind. Since my bike doesn't...

I’ve got a quarter mile stretch between a grade school and middle school that my kids walk and bike and is pretty rough, what is the name of the contact in Petaluma? I’d be curious to hear more and work with my city.

My commute has gone from just over 10 miles in the hot and sunny desert to under 4 miles in the temperate (for now) Midwest and is really a nice way to start and end my work day. I live on top of a hill and start by coasting down into the river valley, at the bottom of the descent I jump on to a...

What a beautiful bike! I’m saving up to get one in the near future. This will be my first winter commuting here in Illinois (Illinois winter is a bit harsher than Arizona so I’ve heard). I’m ready to be done with the rear hub motor and switch to a mid drive. Never ridden an internal gear hub but...

Congrats! I was talking to a guy on the bike path who was commuting in the morning on an adventure and he said he absolutely loved it! I thought he it was really good looking up close. I got an aventon pace 500 but after seeing the adventure I kind of wish I had that one especially for the front...

I'd be curious to test ride a Soltera single speed to see how it feels. I've been really happy with my other e-bike which is the Rad Mission single speed, I find it very relaxing to ride and the shorter chain length feels really nice. It also coasts a lot nicer than my Aventon Pace 500. I can't...

I have two e-bikes and am very pleased with the range on both (Aventon Pace 500 and RadMission). I have a pretty easy ride to and from work with small little hill on way home that uses a little battery. It's also along the river valley so generally one of the trips will be into a pretty decent...
