    Anyone have a list of online retailers? I want to find the best price. Maybe even the Breeze. :)

    Which Pace have cadence sensors or dual sensors?

    First off I am looking the lightest Aventon. I live in an apartment, 2nd floor. I currently ride a bike with cadence sensor. I understand some of the Aventon have dual sensors? The Adventure is too heavy so maybe a Pace will work? I googled the weights but the weights seem to vary depending...

    Hydraulic brake upgrade or calliper upgrade?

    I took it to the shop and I took his advice. I have a 2 year old ebike, fairly entry level. And there wasn’t much point in forking out quite abit of cash to have them bought and installed. The other option he mentioned was to install larger rotors (180mm) but even that cost a bit. In the end...

    Hydraulic brake upgrade or calliper upgrade?

    Aww thanks. Actually I had some Juintech m1s on the back and front. The fronts are still on and garbage. The rear has a new caliper. Maybe it’s the brand Juintech that sucks who knows. Thus why I am looking past that. Didn’t seem to work for me and my bike.

    I am assuming it does. That’s what happens when I brake.

    Hydraulic brake upgrade or calliper upgrade?

    I did a bit more reading and my conclusion is I should have this. I am not nimble like I was at 30-35 and wouldn’t want something unsafe. I will ask the bike shop about adding hydraulics etc. There is one shop that I think knows the ins and outs of ebikes and confident they will give me...

    Hydraulic brake upgrade or calliper upgrade?

    Interesting take which I haven’t heard before. I will think about the cut off on my way home. And whether I need it. I guess by not having the cutoffit would ride more like a regular bike? I think the reason for the cut off is safety right? I am not sure a bike shop would do this. I suppose...

    Hydraulic brake upgrade or calliper upgrade?

    I desperately want to upgrade the brakes on my Core-5. They have been driving me nuts. I am a big rider and need the best possible stopping power. I have two blocks on my commute that are very very steep downhill. Along with living in the city I need good stopping. Does anyone have a...

    Protecting the controller?

    Haha i am such a newb. I now realize the controller is actually near the battery in the downtube? I always thought when “the controller” was used meant the display. I basically want to protect the electrical parts the best I can. We get lots of rain in the winter. Thanks. Btw I have the...

    Protecting the controller?

    I am very curious to know if riders use anything to protect their controller from rain? I live in the pacific northwest and get quite abit of rain in winter. Anyone else similar and what do they use to protect the controller? Thanks.

    Aww thanks. I have purchased the ride1up core 5. Its around 50 lbs. I did see the Rideal which I would have bought but they didn’t ship to Canada. Hopefully my core will be assembled tomorrow.

    Shipping nightmare core-5

    Thanks for your support. I am hoping all the parts and documentation is inside. Hopefully nothing is bent or twisted etc. I am having someone assemble and tune it.

    Shipping nightmare core-5

    Sure. Give me a few minutes. Every unboxing video i have seen has the straps as well. You can also see holes where the old staples were. They did re-staple.

    Shipping nightmare core-5

    I have been looking at many options and done lots of research on ebikes the past few years. Finally I found something. I live north of the border and live in a walkup apartment. I decided on the Core-5. I bought due its weight and what seems like good value for an entry level bike. I won’t...
