    Shimano EP801 ands auto shift

    Has anyone had a chance to ride the Shimano EP801 with auto shifting? Just wondering if anyone has actually ridden it in the wild. I know there are several YouTube videos but would like some more thoughts. Very tempted to build my next bike with it.

    Bike trailers

    Anybody using a trailer with their bike? Specifically a cargo type trailer. Not a kid or pet hauler. Thoughts ideas? Everything I see doesn't fit the bill for hauling something like a portable fish house. I'm on the verge of building one myself, but wanted to see if there are any ideas.

    Berd Spokes

    Was in the shop today and one of the techs was lacing up a wheel with Berd spokes. Crazy amount of work to build a wheel.

    HydroDipped my new frame.

    Got this back from the graphics/hydrodipper. The camo is Kuiu Verde 2.0 enlarged pattern. It's going to get the the Shimano Steps e8000 motor. I'm putting the frame together tomorrow and then get serious about specing it out. I'll post progress picts.

    Compare insurance rate...real numbers here

    Contacted American Family about insuring my ebikes. They said they fall under Misc vehicles like a golf cart, etc. Here is the REAL quote I got for my Gazelle Ultimate T10+. The price is per year. I thought this was pretty darn good!

    E-Tube project for Shimano STEPS

    Has anyone done a firmware upgrade to their STEPS motor lately? About to do it and wondering how it went. Would hate to brick my bike!

    Happy Global Fat Tire Day everyone.

    Went on my first big organized ride this morning. It was a lot of fun! No snow but it was a blast.

    Kinekt installed

    Just installed a Kinekt 2.1xl on my Gazelle. I'm instantly sold! It really smoothes out the road vibe! I had to cut it down 2" to get it all the way down to where I needed it. Took a bit to dial in the seat position but wow! It's a keeper. I was worried about spending that kind of money and not...

    Satori suspension seatposts

    I know there are threads on the older Animaris(sp?) seatpost but that's the old style. Is anyone riding one of the newer models? AND does it come with the different springs to adjust for weight? Thanks in advance.

    ISM noseless saddles

    I know saddles are very personal but the ISM noseless saddles really work for me. I'm fat, got a big butt and recovering from prostate surgery. Went for a spin on my new Berkley and no pressure on the junk! I have this on my upright tar bike. And this one on my mountain bike

    Is it possible for a mere mortal to program a Bosch motor?

    Or is this a dealer only thing?

    Ultimate headlight

    Is there a way to turn off the headlight and taillight on the Ultimate? Is there a setting so the default is not on?

    It's here! Ultimate T10+ mid step

    Pedals seem a little sketchy, they seem like they would be slipper when wet. Have not had a chance to ride it yet, but man the fit and finish if fantastic and it's beautiful!

    Another Battery fire

    I'm on the FaceBook Biktrix group. There is a BikTrix UltraBeast owner that posted video of him running out of the house due to his battery blowing up. It's pretty terrifying! Biktrix is looking into it and my be doing a recall, but if you own one, you may want to reach out to Biktrix!

    Gravel Class 3

    Didn't get a lot of responses in the Help Me Pick a Bike section so maybe it will get more looks here. I'm looking for an urban/gravel trail bike. I have a great tar/gravel trail at the end of my street I would like to ride a lot. I want class 3 as I routinely outride my PAS on other bikes and...
