    Peak Considerations

    Rusty, Being a car guy I love your Peak vs Dash comparison. I totally get your analogy. My sister in law just got a pair of Pedegos. Great bikes for those who want the scooter experience with a bit of pedaling thrown in, but not my style at all. I enjoy driving a manual car, even though I...

    Peak Considerations

    ok I'm sold. But I think I will wait for the full suspension version. I wonder what Larry P. would say about Peak vs Haibike comparisons

    Optimal Tire Pressure

    I'd worry more about flats than "optimal" tire pressure. I have gotten two flats, both when my tire pressure was slightly low. I now always keep my tires, both front and back, at 70 which is between the recommended settings 60-80. It's hard as heck but offers very little rolling resistance...

    Congrats agent 86! I know how difficult it can be to make a decision on these things and fork over the money. I think you made an excellent choice in bike and upgrades. I have gotten two flats on my Carbon so hopefully the Marathon tires will help. I put double thick tubes on the back and...

    Currie Peak

    I recently test rode a the 29 inch Haibike hardtail. I really liked it and the mid drive system from Bosch. It was VERY much like a regular bike. I think the charm of the Haibike is in how much it feels like a regular bike. I am looking forward to the upcoming FS Peak and wonder how it will...

    What is the REAL difference between a 9amp and 12amp battery?

    The new larger battery will work in the Carbon. If you get the Carbon you will get many of the upgraded components and you can add the larger battery in a few years

    Just joking about the Ferrari comment. I was up there for vacation two years ago during the Concours d'Elegance for Italian cars. While leaving the city, I must have seen 100 Ferraris. It was pretty cool. I just assumed that everyone who lived up there had one:).

    Wow 86 and Still Kicking, you know your stuff and have become very informed about the ebike market. Your "ideal bike" sounds awesome and will probably be the norm in a few years. I hope that those of us in CA will not be restricted by legislation that limits pedal assist to 20mph. Enjoy your...

    Good Choice, I think you will love the Carbon. I looked and compared MANY bikes and struggled with my decision, but in the end I came to the same conclusion as you. The Neo Carbon is a great bike. I absolutely love mine and it has been trouble free!! I have to say that that Focus looks...

    The Motobecane Conversion is Done

    I thought that the 750 watt kit was the same basic size as the 350 watt. Is it much larger? Keep us posted on both builds.

    One month post Neo Carbon purchase

    Allan, I think there is something wrong with your bike. If you have a dealer nearby, I would bring it in. It might be a loose wire, a loose control panel or the torque sensor. These are just guesses, but they seem to be the most common problems with Emotion bikes. I am sorry to hear that you...

    The Motobecane Conversion is Done

    I like it! I am interested to hear your detailed comparison to the Carbon. I love my Carbon, but a bit more power would be nice. What was your total cost? How difficult was it to build? Where did you buy the motor? Best of luck, it looks great.

    25yr. 6.1 220 dash or emotion? or any other recommendations

    Brandon, Why don't you try Performance Bike. They are a larger dealer of regular bikes and just started carrying the IZIP line. At least the one by me has it. They have the Dash for 2500 on their website and if you join their membership you get a percentage back to use on future purchases...

    Bought both a Carbon and Cross

    Please give us all a VERY detailed review of your build once you are done. I'm am very curious about how it all works out. I would also like to know if this build could compete well against factory made speed pedelecs that are on the market today and those available soon. I realize it will...

    One month post Neo Carbon purchase

    I have a very similar commute and impressions of my Carbon. I have also noticed the controller response issue in Eco mode. I am usually trying to get to work as quickly as possible and just leave it in Standard. The odd thing for me about Eco mode is that the force required to continue...

    Bought both a Carbon and Cross

    I don't have the time or money to do it, but I have been eyeing that Bafang 750w mid-drive myself for some sort of custom build. I love my Carbon, but, " I need more power Scotty!" I don't really need it, but I would love to have just a few more mph!
