    New Evelo Atlas has landed (8/2/22)

    Was notified they had arrived this afternoon, and new sales will be shipped in 3 days while they clear the back orders. They only brought 1 container of them in. That's about 180 bikes (per Evelo sales) with 120 of them already sold (back orders). Point being, if you've been pondering this bike...

    Bafang M600? Updated 8/14/22

    Is anyone actually riding an M600 powered bike? My question is regarding your first hand impression regarding the programming as you received it. Low speed control? Torque sensing? I just ran across the Evolo Atlas. https://evelo.com/products/atlas/ It's an M600 driven belt drive running an...

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    Hi Everyone. I find myself using the small cluster gears too often (6th through 9th, which is an 11 tooth) even while cruising at just moderate speeds in the low teens. Would much rather use the cluster gears with more teeth to handle/spread out the Ultra loads better. Have little need for the...

    Sources for spokes?

    Rear wheel got in an argument with a stick going through the woods (terrible crunch with lurch) and came away with a broken spoke. I see different sources, but would like to find somebody that can/will ship right away? Can anyone share a source that might be able to help? If it makes any...

    Is your battery way too snug/difficult to remove?

    One of our new Espin bikes had a battery that was WAY too snug fitting. It had to be pried up at the top/front while holding the key in the unlocked position. Pretty difficult even when your hands are the size of mine (huge). This morning I circled back around to this issue and did some...

    '21 Espin Sport project bike.....

    We bought this Sport with the idea of using it as an affordable base for a comfortable city bike. Not looking for anything flashy. Comfort is the primary goal. We've had it for a couple of weeks now. Parts have been dribbling in to the point where it was time to start work. So here we are - An...

    I did it again! Sport and Flow on order....

    After a LOT of shoping and owning a 2020 Flow for a few months now (just loving the light weight and style), we've purchased another Flow, and a Sport, which is going to be a project bike. Espin says the new displays and controllers have been changed so we'll give those a try - but I can tell...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    So recently I decided to scrap all of my original ideas, which all seemed to dead end, and try something completely new. I went back to all of the original settings, and when I test drove that, it reminded me how bad those setting really are. No point detailing, if you're reading this you likely...

    Convert Ultra powered mid drive 26" Fatty to 27.5"

    After riding it a few hundred miles now, and trying both 26x4" Origin 8's and Kenda 26x3" street tires, I'm still not happy with how big and heavy the bike feels, not to mention dealing with what seems like excessive rolling resistance. I'm thinking a change to 27.5" (or 650b, whatever) tires...

    Setting up Rize Pro RX (or any 26" fatty) as a hybrid on/off road bike......

    Loving most of the things regarding the bike. Everything working well, but I would say that the 4" tires were a mistake - FOR ME/MY purposes! Rolling resistance seems high (even with 20 psi) , and the bike FEELS big. I'm not real crazy about the stock front fork (pogo stick), so I was in the...

    Bafang Ultra RH crank arm - Resolved

    Guys, new issue starting on my fairly new Ultra powered Rize RX Pro at 150 miles or so. The RH crank arm is making noise, and when checked, the attaching bolt will be loose. When tightened, it will start making noise again within just a few miles. I've marked the bolt to see if it was unscrewing...

    Bafang Ultra (and BBSxx) Tuning

    Guys, I'm pretty sure the Bafang Ultra programming is the same as it comes from the factory, no matter what bike it's installed in. As a (very curious) new owner myself, I'm finding that good/very relevant info is being spread from one end of EBR to the other in each of the brand forums that are...

    Ultra programming

    As a recent purchaser of an Bafang Ultra powered RX Pro, I've wandered into the controller programing after riding 50-60 miles. I thought the OEM/as shipped programing was a little too aggressive for me and my riding style. I won't bore you with all the details, much of which is available...

    Bigger Tires for a Rad City?

    Considering something larger than stock. If you've been down this road, how big were you able to go? What brand? Will 26x2.8's fit? Edit: I'm looking for a hybrid/street tire, but interested in anything 26x2.3 and larger. If you've run a mountain bike tire would like to here about that too.

    Do you/would you prefer the throttle on the right side?

    Quick note- I was wondering about this after ordering a new RX Pro. Today, while setting up the new bike, I found it pretty easy to swap the bell and the throttle. Positioned between the brake and shifter, it takes some careful positioning of all 3 (brake, throttle, shifter) but it can be done...

    Biktrix 3rd tier support response....

    Thought I'd share a response I received this evening to a question regarding available "tuning" from Biktrix on a new Juggernaut 1000 Ultra Hard Tail that I'm considering - "The stock programming from Bafang is the best way to go for most cases - they have developed the programming to work well...

    Bafang Ultra Cadence based PAS?

    Older rider here, riding for recreation only, and pretty sure I prefer cadence based PAS over torque. Not looking to debate that. What I'd really like to know is if the Ultra is able to be set up for cadence based pedal assist.

    RadWagon 4....

    Looks like they FINALLY got their act together with this revision. Along with other changes, they FINALLY decided maybe the direct drive rear hub wasn't really the better system for this bike, and have gone with a gear diven rear hub. Congratulations. This bike now makes some sense.
