    Just got a Shred

    Hmmm? I just received a Rook and the throttle is governed based on the pedal assist level. For example, in level 1, it's governed to 10mph. 2 = 13mph, 3 = 15mph, etc. Did you have to change the settings to get the full power feature?

    problems with shipping

    In this day and age, the direct sales model and buying online has merit. However, the manufacturers need to do their job in making sure the deals they strike with the various Chinese factories include packaging that can safely hold the contents during a worldwide shipment and local delivery...

    problems with shipping

    I think this points to a bigger problem and that's having the bikes properly packaged to endure a trip from China to the end user. I've purchased three E-Bikes in the past year and two out of the three had damage due to poor packaging. This is something that should be addressed. Remember, not...

    I can only wonder why they didn't suggest this?

    My Comparison Of The 2017 and 2018 Rad Mini

    While I didn't attempt to swap controllers between the two Rad Mini's, as stated in the video Rad did send me a replacement controller to try on the 2018 model. The result was the same...no change in the throttle response issue.

    My Comparison Of The 2017 and 2018 Rad Mini

    Thanks for the kind words, but Court is a specialist and I'm a generalist. He's forgotten more than I'll ever know about bikes! I have a lot of respect for the detail of his reviews. I would welcome the opportunity to interview him as I'm sure he has a great story to tell!

    My Comparison Of The 2017 and 2018 Rad Mini

    Thanks for the reply, but in this situation, I don't think the thumb throttle would make a difference as there's a noticeable dead spot in the motion of the throttle.

    Ordering Direct From Alibaba

    Has anyone taken the gamble/risk of ordering a bike direct from a seller from Alibaba? If so, how did it go?

    My Comparison Of The 2017 and 2018 Rad Mini

    Last year I purchased a 2017 Rad Mini and enjoyed it so much I purchased a 2018 Rad Mini when it first became available. I've noticed some differences between the model years and not all of them were what I considered improvements. I've posted both a blog post and a video and hope it's okay to...

    New To EBR, But Not New To Tech

    Just a note to say hello and to thank the folks at EBR for all that they do. The amount of information they have online is amazing! While I'm basically retired and only produce videos on an occasional basis, I've spent my life reviewing new products and technology. Allow me to tip my hat to EBR...
