    Review Ride1Up Prodigy V2 XR (chain version)

    Thanks for the writeup! I think I've almost decided to get the belt drive V2 (welcome anyone's input/review of that as well!). But had a question about the rear rack that's standard on the Prodigy V2 - it looks a little funky in terms of the setup - have you had any issues attaching panniers...

    First Ebike

    On the rad city forget about the 750/500w if you’re thinking about hills - it doesn’t matter, what matters is the newton meters of torque, and because rad city makes direct drives they have lower torque than geared hubs or mid-drives. Don’t quote me on this - and someone else here will know -...

    Has anyone ever heard of new "battery break in" ?

    Question on this - my commute is 12 miles round trip - should I be charging after ever my commute? I run down to about 60% on a commute, depending, and could make 2 commutes before hitting 20%. Does it matter if I charge at 50/60% up to 80 or wait till I’m down to 20% to charge up to 80%?

    Yet Another Budget (<$1k) E-bike Help Request!

    FYI, I don’t think populo is still in business - instead they sell under the Aventon brand. I know it’s easy to say, but if you could increase your budget a few hindered dollars to the $1200/1300 range you would open up a number of much higher quality options. That said if you’re stuck at a...

    Wanted: suspension seatpost

    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    Yeah it all becomes a slippery slope on pricing - and people will tell you that you HAVE to spend more, but that's not realistic for most of us, who approach these things with sometimes firm budgets. I did - I actually had settled on a Juiced CrossCurrent S which is on sale for $1700, when I...

    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    I just did a similar search at a slightly higher price point - if I had your budget I would go with the Ride1up 500 MTB due to the 500 w motor (though I don’t know the torque which is what you really should look at to compare) over the Aventon 350 (which I assume is a 350 w motor). With the...

    Question for Commuters: Buy an extra charger?

    Yeah sounds like you might as well - the battery will probably decrease performance over time anyway so you’ll at least be ready for that...
