    Blix Vika+ Folding Ebike 2016 version

    Thanks again. I'm pretty sure this bike is the one I will wind up with. Do you know what the range is on the 17 amp battery compared to the standard one? I'm also considering either that or an extra battery as well. Also, do you know the name/brand of the seat you bought? I wish I was retired...

    Blix Vika+ Folding Ebike 2016 version

    Thanks for your reply. Maneuverability and hill-climbing are both high on my list! I'm wondering about even longer rides (eventually) but I guess I could get a tube with shocks (or whatever the terms are) if I needed more comfort. Looking forward to trying one. And it's cool to know my husband...

    Small frame, 24" wheels, throttle available at a stop when PAS is off

    Ah, man - just watched the Izip E3 Vibe Plus review (same bike, I believe) and he mentioned something he didn't mention in the Raleigh Sprite review, namely that PAS has to be on for throttle. AARGH! But I'm going to double-check that. Maybe the CanBus (sp?) system can disable that requirement.

    Small frame, 24" wheels, throttle available at a stop when PAS is off

    Thanks! I actually just (literally about 30 minutes after I posted) found a not-too-distant dealer going out of business that has a new 2016 Raleigh Sprite IE in the XS sized frame for sale at a reduced price. I'm hoping to see it (and possibly/probably) buy it tomorrow, after I call my local...

    Small frame, 24" wheels, throttle available at a stop when PAS is off

    Oh I forgot to add the bit about my bad knee and upcoming knee surgery. So once I can even get on a bike again, I will probably need the throttle pretty regularly until the healing process is complete. So PAS only really isn't even an option Also, I might have an opportunity to try the Blix 20"...

    Blix Vika+ Folding Ebike 2016 version

    Has anyone done any long rides with this bike? I am afraid it will be uncomfortable with such small wheels. I just tested the Komfort+ but it was just a hair too big, and I saw this bike but it looked too small. Call me Goldilocks. Can you report? Thanks -- Barbara

    Small frame, 24" wheels, throttle available at a stop when PAS is off

    Small frame, 24" wheels, throttle available at a stop when PAS is off Those are pretty much my only must-have conditions and so far I can't find one. Pedego mini-ceptor requires PAS level 1, every other bike I've seen at that size (reviewed here) either doesn't exist any more or doesn't have...

    Anyone using GreenBike brand?

    Hi - I'm looking at the Greenbike USA GB5 500 on amazon. I don't even see this brand in the brand section of this forum and also didn't find any review on it here. It has great reviews on amazon (none for the 500 but for the regular GB5) and seems perfect for me. I just started looking at ebikes...
