Hey buddy, thanks for the information, it's nice to see others tinkering with their vehicle. Early on, I did the C4 change to match throttle to PAS. I used it that way for about 1000 miles. What I found for myself anyways is that if you pedal by default and only throttle when necessary, it's...

It had been over 30 years since I last rode a bicycle, and after doing some research and test rides, I decided on the Model S (now Step Thru). I've had it for a year now and have a million great things to say about it, and two small dings, one which I'll get out of the way right now. The...

Maks, just a quick question, for that 50 mile range, how much effort are you looking to contribute? My bike (Electric Bike Company Model S w/18ah battery) would easily do that in pedal assist mode, figure 17-20mph with the rider contributing ~25% of the effort. $1800 direct from the...

The only people who really argue about "Right of Way" are lawyers and widows. The rest of us don't have that luxury.

Michael, thank you for that information. My bike only displays a batter indicator with 4 bars, and it's meaningless as it has no correlation with what the actual battery has (it still shows 4 bars when I know the battery is at around 30%). The battery itself has a 4 bar indicator which is way...

Gogogordy, Basically, I went east around the top side of Forrest Lawn and the LA Zoo, followed the river south to around Dodgers Stadium, then Google "Bike Routes" took me East basically following the 60 (but South 2-8 blocks depending on the roads) where I wound up on Whittier, took that about...

I ride daily, and my commute has me on bike lanes about half the trip. Where I always have issues is cars turning into gas stations. There will be one car turning and another waiting behind, no blinker so you assume they are going straight, but no. The car with the signal turns, you proceed...

Michael, sounds like a fantastic ride and certainly an accomplishment. Especially considering it's a 500wa battery. Were you cognizant during your ride of your average drain on the battery? Not being familiar with that bike I don't know what display options you have available to you. But...

Vincent, the batteries are 18ah, and it's a 48v system. The motor is rated at 500w constant use and can peak at around 1200w on a hill. PS. Meant to add this the first time; part of moving to the biking lifestyle, I split my garage into Auto and Bike sides :)

Yup, Buffy is smiling at your description. She's never hit a mileage limit, I think the farthest she's gone on a charge is 26 miles and still had gas in the tank. I figure at her size and heavy throttle finger she's probably good for 35 miles @ 20mph throttle only. I just completed a ride...

Hello to all. My name is Eric, and my wife (Buffy) and I recently purchased 2 bikes from The Electric Bike Company, Newport Beach. My wife had biked a bit in her youth, and I have been an avid motorcyclist for some years, but at 50 I've decided to downsize the horsepower just a bit. In...
