Didn’t even know what a torque or cadence sensor was when I bought my ebike so have a cadence sensor and gets the job done. I do plan to get torque sensing because I don’t feel in getting a good enough workout now because if I go lower assist I’m kind of fighting the bike and it’s real unnatural...

I do something similar, I keep a charger at desk and at home and completely got rid of range anxiety. At two years I have noticed my battery start to lose some range but don’t mind charging a little more often.

interesting idea, i know when i ran the numbers on getting an ebike over a car it was a no-brainer without any credits or rebates. i think the payback was less than 6 months. the biggest benefit to me more than the $ is the fresh air and mental reset. i just really don't like to drive a car. i...

That’s a lot of miles, good for you! I had to replace chain and cassette at 2000 miles per the bike shop. Tires look to be due in another 1000 miles or so. Just did rear brake and front brake may need replaced in the next year or two.

Starting to see the first sign of battery decline since I bought the bike over 2 years ago, good news is for me it's not a huge deal since my commute is so short and I don't really take it very far ever. Will just need to charge it a little bit more often which isn't a big deal at all. Still...

Great to hear! I used to also be too low in the seat and my knees would come up too high and have some light pain. I go as high up as possible with the seat but still want my leg/knee to bend just a bit on the furthest part of the down pedal. Much more comfortable for sure!

Gear down and spin more. I used to get knee pain when I first started commuting (pre ebike) and realized once I geared down and spun more it took a lot of torque off my knees and haven’t had any issues since. Also a nice light quad stretch after my ride helps too.

Lived in a big city and moved to a small city. Both places had basic bike shops that could do general tuneups on normal bike components. Luckily haven’t had an electric issues. I’ve been surprised how basic the ebike really is and don’t expect many issues. Two years and 2000 miles and just basic...

Was in sweats and hoodie on the morning commute with light gloves so it’s definitely cooling off. Feels pretty good in the cool crisp air. Ride home is still shorts and t-shirt!

how comfortable is that passenger seat? is it something that is easy to take on/off if we wanted to get the passenger and cargo packages and swap them from time to time?

horrible little things! used to get them in AZ, the worst sound in the world when you pull one out mid-ride and hear a loud hissing of air. i had luck with tannus armour liners. a bit expensive and added some weight and a softer feel to the tires, but overall was happy with how they held up...

sorry to hear that! my lbs asked me to remove the battery and keep it with me and was real clear they couldn't work on anything electrical but did say the mechanical stuff would be no issue.

The only change I’ve made is I put my charger on a metal wire basket to get some air flow under it because it was making the counter hot to the touch which made me nervous.

That’s a good looking bike and looks super light and quick. I wouldn’t change a thing and would ride that for my commute all day long. I don’t care for fenders and just wear a backpack. Does the water bottle battery come off to charge or do you plug in to the bike?

I took the survey and it seemed pretty simple. The questions appeared to me to be in the spirit of “what would it take to get you to upgrade from an ebike to an electric motorcycle.” For me it’s really cost plus safety (I love using bike paths apart from traffic). I’ll let my wife use the gift...

I kicked around getting one and passed. Not shocked they may be going bust. I think the rollout of the metacycle was pretty rough and kept kicking out deliveries.

I watch the tire air pressure and throw a little lube on the chain every 100 miles or so. The main thing I do is listen to the bike if there is anything that sounds/feel off during riding. All maintenance I have done by a local bike shop that I've built a good relationship with the owner, they...

I consider it essentially free to charge! My work commute is 2,000 miles per year, at 25 mpg and $4 gas that is $320 savings in gas per year. The real savings is we only have one car for a family our four rather than 2 cars! Cars are $ expensive and getting more expensive every year! Plates...

Cheering for Zen! Thanks for sharing the story. Great to hear!

Congrats on a beautiful bike! As a bike commuter, that definitely meets my needs and more! I would be happy to recommend that to friends, family, colleagues looking for a great bike under $4K! Love to see you offering a 2 year warranty. My bike came with a 1 year and for the price, a 2 year...
