    [SOLD – Please Delete]

    Hey folks, I’m looking to sell my Riese & Müller Nevo GT Vario HS that I got in May 2019 from Propel Bikes in Brooklyn, NY. I rode the bike for a few months and put about 576 miles on it, but I just don’t ride it much anymore and am looking to get a motorcycle so I figured I’d pass it on to...

    Possible to install porteur-style front rack on Nevo?

    I realize the suspension fork, disk brakes, and R&M's choice of parts would certainly create some challenges, but would adding a porteur-style front rack — like the Blackburn Bootlegger Front Rack — to my Nevo GT Vario HS be even remotely possible?

    Question about Charger (Mixte) frame size

    Hey folks! I was trying out a bunch of R&M bikes yesterday and, after being near certain that I'd favor a step-through model, was surprised at how much I liked the Charger. I'm a bit uncertain as to which frame size would be best for me though. For context, I'm 6'2" (1.88m) with a 32.5" inseam...

    Possible to retrofit Nuvinci hub on Bosch bike?

    Anyone know if I could have the Shimano Nexus Inter 8 hub on my Gazelle Arroyo (Bosch Performance Line motor) replaced with a Nuvinci hub? Or would there be issues with the Bosch software?

    Schwalbe Energizer Plus vs. Marathon Plus

    So my Gazelle Arroyo came stock with 28" x 1.75" Energizer Plus tires, and I've been wondering if Marathon Plus tires would be considered an upgrade or just make for a different riding experience. I was drawn to the Marathon Plus' better puncture protection, but I saw they have slightly lower...

    Stop Intuvia display from swivelling?

    Is there any way to anchor the Intuvia display? I like it angled closest to me, but every time I go over a bump it slowly swivels back and eventually ends up facing almost completely away from me.

    Hey folks ? I've been perusing EBR for a little while now, but wanted to take a moment to formerly introduce myself and say thank you! @Court's reviews and all of your posts have been incredibly helpful in my e-bike research. I got hooked on e-bikes earlier this year when NYC's bike share...

    Front or rear basket?

    Hey folks! My Gazelle Arroyo will be arriving soon, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry my existing Timbuk2 backpack during my commute. I'm leaning towards installing a rear basket so I can just throw my backpack in and secure it with bungee cords but, given that the bike has a...

    Vast majority of NYC's 28,000 new bike share bikes will be electric

    http://gothamist.com/2018/11/29/citi_bike_expansion_nyc.php Really excited to see e-bikes continue to become more mainstream, particularly in a city like New York which hasn't really been supportive of e-bikes until fairly recently. That said, I'm really curious how Citi Bike plans to keep all...

    Advice on Gazelle Arroyo (first ebike purchase)

    Hey folks! I'm looking to buy a step-through ebike for riding around / commuting in NYC and, after considerable research, am really interested in the Gazelle Arroyo. When test riding it at my LBS, though, I was told the 2019 model is coming out in March, and now I'm not sure what to do. Here's...
