Perhaps texting, or distracted for some other reason. The steering being locked smacks of an excuse to relieve the driver from responsibility, the fact that he is being held indicates to me that the authorities aren't buying it.

My 8-year-old Bosch 400 is down to about 80%, I can get about 25 miles through fairly hilly country, using Eco and Tour settings. Two years ago, I was able to get 60 miles on my (then) 1-year-old 500 battery; last year I was well into the last 20% after 55 miles. Since most of my rides are...

I bought my ebike in 2016, I was 67, and fighting the hills and the wind had taken away my joy of cycling. I had to drive to New Hampshire in the U.S. to pick it up, as ebikes weren't readily available in Canada. This website, and other online reviews helped me greatly in choosing a bike. I...

Transformational isn't it, enjoy. Here in The North Woods of Ontario, we're still about a month away.

It sounds like my DW's first bike pas went from zero to full-on as soon as she started to pedal. She liked cruising on the better trails, but most of the time she found 20 kph too fast; the throttle was useful, but it too was on/off. We sold the bike for a BH, which has 5 levels of assist and...

Sorry to hear your news; may you have peace on your journey.

I found the numerous complaints about having to adjust the brakes every 70 miles, and owners buying brake pads by the dozen particularly alarming. A vehicle with unreliable brakes is an accident waiting to happen; it's not if, it's when.

I ride in rural areas, rail trails, spotty cell service; I carry my cell phone, and cash. In this neck of the woods, every second vehicle on a rural road is a pickup truck. If I can't reach DW for a rescue, I am confident that someone will stop and offer assistance.

Our batteries require keys to remove them. Our stops are usually at small, local restaurants; we use cable locks and remove the controllers.

Lots of snow here in The North Woods of Ontario. We live in a cabin in the woods; of the 2 dozen dwellings along our side of the river, most are seasonal residences, we, and two other families live here full time. Being on a private road brings challenges, however for us, the solitude and...

I agree. DW rides a class 2, she has a bad knee, and there are times on a ride when she gives her knee a rest and uses the throttle. Most of our rides are on rail-trails or lightly travelled back roads. The rail trails are shared with pedestrians, cyclists, ATVs, and horse and buggies.

Dual 1000 watt motors, 48 km/hr, single speed, with throttle; who thinks that this is an ebike?

Decades ago when I was commuting on busy streets, I had a red flag mounted on the left side of my carrier. The flagpost was about 12" long, and the base was a spring, so the flag could be hooked along the carrier, or extended horizontally. In traffic, I used the flag in the horizontal...

When i purchased my bike 6 years ago, i opted for a hybrid frame. I don't at all regret my choice; after not riding for 6 months, @ 73 i will admit to difficulties for the first couple of weeks. If/when I replace my bike, I will opt for a step-thru.

I live in (black) bear country. In spring and fall, I wear a whistle around my neck, and carry bear spray in my rack pack. Some of the trails that I ride do not have cell service, so in addition to tools, a medical kit, and a spare tube, I also pack a 12 gauge flare pistol. In addition to...

Like many here, my ebike has brought the joy of cycling back into my life. At 73, I am thrilled that I am able to go on 50k rides along beautiful trails; my bike keeps me in shape, and has helped me to lose 30 lbs over the years.

Great observations. I purchased my 2015 Haibike in the summer of 2016; six years later, I still love the bike, and what it has done for my life. My ebike allowed me to get back into cycling in my later 60's, live a healthier lifestyle, and meet new friends. One of the best decisions I've...

I participate in a weekly group ride; our rides are between 25-35 kilometers, the average pace is 20-25 kph, depending on the terrain. I am the only ebike rider, a 2015 Haibike Trekking Pro, and have had no problem fitting in with the group; the pack tends to leave me on the flats, and I...

You know that the first thing that folks are going to want to do with those is race them.

I agree with this. Me fear is, with more and more people riding faster and faster ebikes, some municipalities will simply ban all ebikes from local trails and MUPs and restrict their use to roadways. To a certain degree we have already seen this with our local rail-trails; ICE dirt-bikes and...
