    More and more e-bikes!

    Stopped for an iced French vanilla latte mid-ride yesterday at Nixon's Coffee House, parked next to an Orbea and a Haibike. They belong to a mom (Orbea road bike) and her daughter (the Haibike mtn bike). Hubby also owns an Orbea, all bought used on Craigslist, checked out and serviced at Bike...

    Magnum Peak power is pulsing

    1st, try 8088 for the display, that's the other code. On the pulsing- I have a Metro and get similar when just starting off if I don't get second foot going on pedals fast enough. Never had it while riding. However - my bike is 12 mph in PAS 1, if pedaling falls behind that pace I get clunking...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Rest stop, halfway on yesterday's 30m ride north of Denver along the Platte River. I find so much peace in my morning rides along the river, below the noise of civilization, birdsong for company, my depression shrunk to the smallest part of my mind.

    Spanninga lights

    My "plug and play" comment should have been clearer to refer to possible controller damage.

    Sad about last two rides.....

    Found a new MUT annoyance Sunday morning as I headed out for a slow easy cruise day. Met a group of about 50 runners going the other way, shouldn't be a problem except they felt a need to run 3-4 abreast gabbing away, inattentive and not yielding ROW. My biggest problem was that the edge of the...

    Bike class restrictions

    Different speed limits for different places, obviously, just as there are diff limits on diff roads. And how, exactly, do you think they will "enforce" class limits without enforcers paid for by regulating gov?

    Is the animus overblown?

    I'm in a similar situation, Best E-Bikes is only a few blocks from Sloan's Lake. I was pleased to see 6 e-bikes during one ride south along the Platte, most ever. Not so pleased with the asshole on the gasoline bike riding the Cherry Creek Trail, stinking up the place and making more noise than...

    Is the animus overblown?

    I hung around here for several months before I finally got my Metro and read all the threads about negative attitudes toward e-bikers. I even prepared my response to "Cheater!" calls; "Only cheating Father Time". I've been riding for 1000 miles+ and I've never heard a negative comment. The...

    Bike mirror recommendation

    I have an arthritic neck, makes craning around to see uncomfortable. Added a Mirrycycle to end of grip on Magnum Metro, love it. Easy to adjust, not a lot of jitter, you can fold it back for tight spots, large enough for easy vision. Cheap, well designed and functional. Makes me feel a lot more...

    Spanninga lights

    My Metro came with a Spanninga Kendo+ headlight. 30 lux. Very inadequate for me. I should be able to upgrade to a brighter, better pattern Spanninga light and plug and play, right?

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Temps finally broke, got a good ride in today down to Chatfield State Park. I was looking for a direct trail connection to trails on top of reservoir but couldn't find one; ran into "C-470 East/West" signs, nothing for Greenway Trail. Gotta poke around some. I think Littleton (city) and South...

    Long string of 90's days here - 99 yesterday, going for 100 today - so my longer rides are morning only for now. The pics are from a pit stop along the Cherry Creek Trail, at about 10 miles from downtown. Humidity hovers around single digits - 9% yesterday, about the same today - I'm carrying...

    Magnum Metro user report 1 year later

    I use "normal" as regular mode, also tried "eco" to lessen kick, agree with David Roy as to result. I also noticed the bike reverted to "normal" before next ride; anyone else see this? If I want to ride in "eco" or "power" do I have to reset it each time?

    Walk Mode?

    It let's me get my e-bike up my stairs - I can no longer lift/carry it and maintain my balance.

    Denver Parks seeks rule making for "e-devices"

    Experience has taught me to never do this, esp when gov't is involved..

    Amego Infinite - your opinion

    I did buy the Magnum after also looking at the Amego. Based the decision on convenience of having a Magnum dealer a mile away, after dickering with dealer I got it for just under $2k. I'm not mechanically inclined but if you are, a different factor (price?) may matter most to. you. I'm nearing...

    Ghost pedaling

    I've never been a big exercise guy, bore way too easily. So naturally I find myself, often, ghost pedaling on my e-bike, just slowly riding the pedals around. I'm just as likely to fall behind the PAS and get a clunk as to self-power much over the PAS. I know there's lots of enjoyment riding...

    Serious bike on bike crash. Head on.

    Sadly I've found it's not obvious to everyone!
