With the anticipation of some ice and snow I decided to try a fat bike this year. Hopefully I won't have as many crashes with fat tires??? I ended up with a Haibike Fatsix RC which is powered by the Bosch CX. I have been hearing success stories with tubeless set ups on fat bikes. So what...

Hey all just thought I would drop a note and let you know you can rent Ebikes in Linz Austria. I am over here on business and have been commuting from the hotel to work and riding around a bit in the evenings. Primarily Bosch mid drives. There are a few yamahas, kalkhoffs and some trams X. I...

I have ridden the bike for a few days now and thought I would give an update. The things I really like about the bike. 1. Torque - this bike gets up to speed very quickly with the relatively small geared motor. It is similar to how the Easy Motion geared motors feel with more torque but does...

@Ann M. Edit...I didn't see the Bulls thread. Would you move this post to that thread? I just ordered a Bulls Outlaw Green Mover E45. This is a front suspension rockshock rear geared hub drive with a huge battery. 48V 14 ah 670wa with tektro dorado hydraulic disc brakes 27.5 sshwalbe super...

So I have been wondering about pedal cadence since one of the groups I ride with focuses on maintaining a pre ride lower limit. During this ride all the riders maintained at least an 80 rpm cadence. I have not had a cadence sensor so I bought the Wahoo cadence and speed sensor and installed it...

Bike Friday has a folding bike (Diamond Lama) which will fit in a standard suitcase for air travel. This bike also has a 320 lbs rider weight limit. I am considering this bike for a DIY project with a Bionx or Grin Technologies rear hub kit for a travel bike. Try as I might I have not been...

With my goal of riding every day for the National Bike Challenge...I need a bike for travel. With no access to an ebike shop to test ride electric folders, I thought I would buy a cheap folder and see if I could ride it. 300+lbs on a 25lbs bike is interesting. I made my maiden voyage this am...

I cannot wait to compare the hub to my mid drive.

Tulsa OK has some price markdowns on 2015 inventory. I stopped by to look at the eye candy. I don't think I am allowed to post the price here...if you want specifics PM and I will tell you what was marked on the bikes.

Wow I just watched the review. The bike wouldn't climb the same hill as some of the cheaper models...is it just me or was this devastating for this high priced bike? It definitely has curb appeal.

Here are two examples of how I use the throttle on my Ebike.

I am in Denver to pick up a new Optibike. Does anyone have any questions for JimTurner? I will try to snap a few pics of the bikes he has on hand tomorrow morning.

I have been looking for a good solution for a water bottle holder for a while. Here is one which will fit a variety of attachment points. The quality of the clamp is not the best but has been working well so far. I have used it on the seat post, handlebars, rear rack, front forks, stem riser...

I finally pulled the trigger on a bike rack after too much research. I went with the Kuat NV 2. The features on this rack are hard to beat. The toughest part was installing a receiver hitch on my transport car a Mini Cooper. I had to disassemble the entir back of the car...quite a project...

I don't know if anyone else has struggled with a storage solution for bicycles in the garage...I have! I've tried racks, ceiling pulleys, and even considered storing them inside. I have finally found a solution which works well for me and thought I would share. The are a little expensive and...

I ordered the Opitibike Allroad today. Delivery is late next week. I will post some details after I make a few commutes. I plan on starting 11.5 miles each way. This trip is a real challenge for me on my Giant Cypress. I am very anxious to see if I can arrive at work without needing a...

I have been riding from work gradually extending my trip. I started with three miles and have worked up to approx 15 miles. This trip takes me 1h 30m plus/minus depending on wind. My goal is to make the entire trip to and from work. My wife has been dropping me and my Giant Cypress of at...
