This tracks with what‘s been going on with Trek. I read the BRAIN article earlier this week about Trek reducing their staff by 10%. Yesterday I learned a friend recently bought a 2021 Trek Allant 9S new from a dealer for half off msrp.

For one of the new Gazelle models with the Bosch Smart System? Doubtful, it's more likely a dealer would offer something like zero interest financing eg Propel is currently offering 18 months 0% through Synchrony during March 2024.

Welcome Alan, nice bike!

Riese & Muller Carrie, a compact cargo box bike, a mid-step rather than a step-through, the design is inspired by the e-Muli but uses a Bosch Smart System Performance motor, 20" wheels front and rear, and introduces a box with sides that fold out For comparison, the e-Muli model with...

The Pinion website lists models using Pinion MGU

GoCycle have added a folding cargo model to their lineup, the CXi & CX+with a 500w (US spec) front hub motor, Nexus Inter-5e IGH, and impressively low 50lb unloaded weight

I am concerned in light of recent reports of the insurance industry starting to issue bike shops that work on non-UL certified ebikes with punitive renewal premiums, and confirmation there are no DIY motor kits that can be UL 2849 certified. The ADA thread established e-bikes can be considered...

Lithium batteries on electric wheelchairs are certified under an ISO standard. The ADA thread established e-bikes can be considered an "other power driven mobility device" (OPDMD). However E-bikes used as OPDMD's would still be subject to whatever regulations CPSC and states adopt: UL 2849 &...

I got an email from Justin Lemire-Elmore at Grin Tech in response to my question are there any UL compliant DIY kits coming “we will have UL2271 certification of our LiGo 10X batteries once those are ready for release. The UL 2849 is a standard for complete ebikes not discrete parts, so...

I was rooting around last night and typed Bafang into the SGS directory of certified products and it seems Bafang had a bunch of their hub motor and OEM mid-drives certified to UL 2849, but not their DIY BBS mid-drives yet unfortunately since it looks like they wont do it unless a N.American...

I'm not up on the power capacity of the electrical outlets fitted to every seat row in Amtrak Coach class but this Amtrak sub-Reddit thread suggests 120w and up to 20A I expect Amtrak are concerned about the possibility of riders carrying removeable e-bike batteries that are poorly built...

Yes, albeit a bit sad for me as I was hoping to keep running on my DIY ebike for longer. I'm starting a new commute in the spring so was already looking at buying an OEM folding ebike to take on the train. I was planning to donate my current DIY ebike to the local Bike Co-Op but now it looks...

The thread blowing up on the Ebikes sub-Reddit about bike shop insurance implies its only a matter of time before UL certification is written into personal liability renters & home owners insurance.

Ultimately its up to the Conductor on the train who has the final word what is allowed on board.

Amtrak changed their policy for Electric Bikes on trains earlier this month, now requiring them to be "certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory" https://www.amtrak.com/bring-your-bicycle-onboard The wording isn't there but this implies only e-bikes that are certified to meet...

The Ebikes sub-Reddit forum has a thread that blew up yesterday after a US bike shop owner posted a photo of a letter he received from his shop insurer, warning of an unaffordable rise in insurance premiums obliging his shop to stop working on non-UL 2849 certified e-bikes. Comments from other...

Oh man that’s too bad. @Coralee because you just bought the bike, perhaps you can swap it for another model with belt drive and the new Smart System the dealer has in stock, do they carry Gazelle bikes by chance? I like the new Gazelle Avignon, Arroyo, and Ultimate C380 models, and those bikes...

Hello, I have only a manual twist controller on my Enviolo hub. Given your bike is using a new Bosch Smart System with Kiox display I assume the Enviolo Automatiq functions are controlled on the bike through the Bosch LED remote, or via the Bosch eBike Flow app. With the separate stand alone...

Depends how the trailer hitch attaches to the bike. I could see an issue if you had a hub motor with a power cable coming out the end would prevent you using a Thule axle hitch mount. Also a mid-drive makes it easier to fix a flat. I notice the Kalkhoff Endeavour 1.b uses a Bosch Gen 3 motor...

I wrote this post on my Adelaide trip https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/dewey-down-under.54684/post-631079 Looking at the photos I recall there was an EV event featuring ebike test rides in mid-November at Campbelltown Memorial Oval. Might be worth keeping an eye out if they run it...
