    Is Espin out of business?

    I think they used Reenton batteries. Try checking eBay or AliExpress.

    Southern California here! Hi from Rancho Cucamonga.

    Been wanting to do this trail. Where is this taco shop? What side do you start on?

    Roadster V3

    But then why do I lose the ebike vs designer purse battle? Like as a family we can use 3 to 4 ebikes, I can't use her other purse. :)

    Roadster V3

    Please let us know how it is. If I didn't already have a Solterra.2 I would get one of these too. Maybe I should sell the Aventon.

    Is Espin out of business?

    No really new products and pricing isn't much better than the competitors... I wouldn't doubt it. It's too bad... they had a really good product when they first started and everyone caught them in value.

    Best color you like for the ebike

    I also prefer bright colors for visibility. My Aventon is "citrine" which sounds too much like something else that is also yellow.

    So you guys (and gals) might be right.

    I have this same effect going between my Espin and Aventon, both 27.5" but different dynamics and it depends on the trail for which is my favorite. That's why the rule is N+1! :)

    New Lectric Xpress

    I'm leaning towards the Turris. It's improved over the Core and has shock fork and hydraulic brakes. Seems very similar to my Espin Sport which is my favorite ebike and I still ride but is near 4 years old. My Soltera 2 is lighter but the motor is weaker and no hydraulic brakes. Almost got...

    First E-Bike: Ride1Up Turris?

    On cadence vs torque, it depends. There are so many variables involved, that the case can be made for either. For cadence, there are different ways it can be implemented, some even similar to the feel of a torque sensor. I have both types and I prefer my cadence but that could be because my...

    Using a Pet Trailer with a Ride1Up Turris?

    We've transported our 15ish lb dog 2 ways... folding crate on rear rack and backpack. He prefers the backpack. On the crate we have to use restraints so he doesn't try to jump out (esp when he sees other dogs).

    Espin Sport Stolen- Next Bike....

    Turris has a rear brake light and at $1095 is a great bargain. 54lbs vs 62lbs for the 700 if you are concerned about weight.

    Ride1Up Turris or Lectric Xpress.

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    I blame Sur Ron and Super 73. We have kids riding in the middle of main roads popping a wheelie from light to light. Breaking arms and legs does not seem to deter them (saw one kid with a cast). :(

    Announcement & Update on EBR Ownership

    At least it stays EBR. :) Thanks Court and congrats to Justin and Michael. Long live Electric Bike Repview!

    Anyone know where to find a screw on helmet mirror?

    I use this one: https://a.co/d/3MK748C Very light weight, good view once you figure out the angle and easy to more permanently mount with zip ties. I've tried the other ones but don't find them as stable (the longer the arm, the more shaky the mirror).

    Ride1Up Price Drops

    Their newer bikes have not dropped. Meanwhile, I think Aventon is raising their prices due to tarrifs?

    New Lectric Xpress

    I’m looking at the Xpress and the R1U Turris. Very similar.

    Does the Portola folding e-bike have “ walk mode”.

    It most likely does... Usually holding the + or ^ on most ebikes.

    Is Sondors next?

    That was in December. Haven't heard of anything about them since. Just like Electric Vehicles... companies going out of business.
