I'd avoid the KBO K2, I've read problems with poor quality control on that model. The Vivi is heavy at 52lb. The Portola is heavier, weighing 59lb. The Revi Rebel 2 is heaviest at weighs 65lb. I'd avoid all four bikes on your list. Here are some other lightweight ebikes for your consideration...

Implications of SB 1271 redefining what is considered an "electric bicycle" in California, include: Safety: Owners of 750w "continuous rated" e-bikes, who purchased say a Class 1 or 2 bike and ride on bicycle infrastructure, now own a bike that falls outside the "electric bicycle" definition...

The history of the bill text shows the change occurred after June 26, and before August 22. Bill text as of June 26, 2024 312.5. (a) An “electric bicycle” is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor with continuous rated mechanical power of not more than 750 watts...

There are some brands currently supplying a UL 2271 tested & compliant battery for a bike that is not UL 2849 tested/compliant, but those brands will now need to also get the bikes tested. Direct to consumer battery suppliers including em3ev will now also need to get their batteries UL 2271...

Yes I think industry will be surprised by the revised wording. At least one brand recently blogged about a continuous power rating rather than a peak power limit

On Friday 9/27/24 California Gov Newsom signed SB 1271

BRAIN report the used bike retailer Pro's Closet is going out of business. As of now there are some remaining ebikes on sale. Private equity strikes again!

helaas is dat niet mogelijk

Nice one Tom, there are some excellent gravel roads in Loudoun County VA

Respectvol, dat lijkt niet op een Bosch systeem 2-display, maar op een ouder onderdeel. Bosch-dealers kunnen tot 6 jaar na productie onderdelen leveren. Voor een ouder onderdeel kan het zijn dat je tweedehands moet kopen. Je zou de monteurs van Tweedehandsfietsen.nl kunnen vragen waar zij je...

Hoi Djock, welk model ebike heeft je vrouw?

Ananda motor, presumably the M100 given the 350w/120nm rating. Moving away from Enviolo has delivered weight savings (50lb), the 3-speed IGH uses some sort of internal mechanical auto shifter with Vvolt claiming this is less fragile than a bolt-on auto shifter assembly like the 4-speed one...

I don't believe this was the intention of the bill's writers. California Senator Dave Min who sponsored SB 1271 cited Streetsforall as having written the bill, and that group supports ebike vouchers. When you search for 1271 in the transcripts of the Hearings for this session, the bill was...

Brompton today have introduced their first 20" wheel model, the G-Line Electric. It's retailing in the UK at 3500GBP which is about US$4650 Brompton USA website https://us.brompton.com/electric-g-line Review from Wired of the G-Line Electric...

If not a moped then the Motor Driven Cycle definition would need to be changed in California as currently worded it describes a bike with a gas engine. But either way you and Matt are right, it’s not practical to reclassify e-bikes as not e-bikes. Also by removing from e-bikes the current right...

I did not say that. The point Matt is making is how the bill wording appears to impose a hard peak power limit of 750w for an Ebike to be considered an electric bicycle in California after January 2025 but most Class 1-3 e-bikes sold in the US exceed that peak power limit. The implications are...

Yep, only a few Bionx packs left, and ebikemarketplace stopped rebuilding them as the proprietary BMS had too many failures.

Phew it was the whole shebang, my adjusting the brake wire had the effect of making the caliper stick on closing and ruined the caliper, front brake pads shot, brake cable and housing needed to be replaced. Rad said wear and tear so not covered under warranty, but the shop discounted parts and...

I never could figure out why Yamaha batteries were so expensive over here ($1400msrp). If you go on the Rakuten Japan e-commerce site and type in Yamaha battery there are loads of JDM market ebike battery packs for about US$250. Even accounting for shipping something didn't add up. Hopefully...
