Sounds a lot like Denver. 100s of miles of trails, pretty green, damn good beer. Our biggest problem is the super-fragmented governmental situation, everybody builds their own paths/trails but they never seem to connect to anything.

Okay, took my new Metro home from the shop Friday afternoon, plus a 15 mile rec ride. Put the battery on the charger that came with it, left it for 6 hrs. Sat morn wanted to go for a group ride but only had 45.6 V showing on display. Had to give up about 5 miles in, even with lots of PAS 0 -...

Are you talking about a car carrier rack? Metro Step-thru comes with a rear rack.

I'm trying hard not to judge the OP or his cycle club but they're not a bunch I'd want to join, too much group think conformity demanded. I've never been a member of a cycling club until I recently joined Denver Electric Bicycle Ride. While I applaud pioneers I'd be more likely to start an...

BTW - a better way to describe my decision is that I'm not mechanical so even tho the Magnum has a rep for durability I went for the near-by dealer just in case. If you're a good wrench I'd save the money and get the Amego.

My final choice came down to the Magnum or the Amego. Went with the Magnum because there is a local dealer both in case of service and to assemble/check out the bike.

FWIW I'm also on a Mac. Just posted a test, this time it gave me a thumbnail option. When I posted multi images I never saw a thumbnail or the option. (https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/last-test-ride-buying-this-weekend.27329/

Interesting, didn't see it when I posted those big ones and I used "Attach Files". Hummm?

What happened to the thumbnail option? I used it once, can't remember how, now.

Wow, ca 350? Owner at Best Bikes told me he'd sold a quarter million worth of Magnums and I sorta doubted it but that's probably my lack of knowledge. Never been on a group ride, I'm wondering what it's like, will keep Louisville in mind if it's something I enjoy.

Site wouldn't let me post thumbnails, anyone have a clue how?

Came down to Amego Infinite or Magnum Metro, decided on Magnum even tho it's a bit more because there is a lbs Magnum dealer a mile from home and I'm not mechanically minded. Started at Best Electric Bikes USA on Federal, took a lap around Sloan's Lake and dropped into Lakewood Gulch to get to...

Ride The Rockies is a 7 day ca 450 mi ride with ca 25000 feet of elevation gain, a serious Colorado spandexter event. There's something new this year, though: e-bikes! Here's a link to the event page and also to Best Electric Bikes blog announcing acceptance of e-bikes into the event. Haven't...

My e-bike has Schwalbe Big Bens w/the 3 mm kevlar liner. I'm in Denver, ride mostly paved trails and low-traffic neighborhood streets; are flats going to be a big enough problem for me that I need to consider any of this? Doesn't seem like it.

Makes sense. When I head on a new route I preview with Google Street View and still ride cautiously until I know the route and its problems. Heatmap gives me another tool, a compilation of local knowledge.

I think we're living in a time of huge change in (urban) transportation patterns, with dockless e-scooters and owned/dockless e-bikes proliferating and both users and regulators struggling to catch up. Anything we can do to ease the transition - i.e., trying to be encouraging vs. judgmental - as...

I thought Google Maps rely on municipalities, etc. to report updates to their bike paths/bike friendly streets while Garmin and Strava use rider data to tell you where people are riding. Seems to me that users data is more reliable than government/bureaucratic processes.

Signed up for Strava, checked the route in question in Global Heatmap and saw that 32nd is a heavily biked route, all the way. Exactly what I wanted to know, thx a ton.

@Deeps - was astounded at all the bikes casually leaning against buildings - do they even sell bike locks in France? I can only wish it was that way in the US.

I'm quickly finding that google maps is often out of date.
