    OK- it is official: the used bike market is INSANE

    I just posted, on Facebook Marketplace, a 12 year old Cannondale Adventure (analog bike). All guides say it is worth $100. I put it on for $200. TWELVE emails in 10 min.......multiple offers and people clamoring to 'be the first one here'. CRAZY!!!

    Larger a chain Ring for Vado

    I have determined that I would prefer a 48t chain ring vs the 40t on my Vado. I asked my LBS to give me a price. Since the Como has a 48t I thought that This would be easy. His response got me very confused. This is what he emailed: The largest available third party ring is 38T; your 40T is a...

    Mission Control and Strava

    Anyone here have any thoughts on why some of my rides connect between the two and some don't? I have Strava and the Specialized apps on my phone. I 'start' my ride on MC and 'end' it on MC. 9 out of 10 rides the data links between the two but occasionally the Strava data doesn't register. Is...

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    Does anyone have any recommendations for heart rate monitors that connect well to Mission Control? I am not a very active fitness guy so have never really used one. What is best/easiest solution? A watch? Something else? I look for your suggestions-

    Did they extend the double rebate?

    The rebate terms stated that you had to purchase by 4/19 (and that you had 2 months to file). When I went in to file. The rebate form said that the purchase had to be made by 5/1. The website shows them back up to full price. ?? Regardless, I’m glad that I pulled the trigger when I did. 😀

    Abus: their website shows no dealers in the US....

    ...which clearly isn’t true. I’ve entered my ZIP (06820), my former ZIP (94062) and multiple city names that have been referenced by people here (DC, Seattle, etc) and it keeps coming up blank. Would like to get the most basic Abus that can be keyed to match my soon-to-be Turbo Vado, and that...

    Stromer ST 1 LE vs Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0?

    Was looking hard at the Vado and Como 4.0s after deciding Stromer was out of my price range when I found a dealer offering a substantial discount on an in stock ST1 Limited Edition. Thoughts?

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Thankfully, there is a fair amount on here about both bikes but I want to ask a more direct question about the differences between the two. My challenge is that I cannot find a place to sit on both of them between now and when their double rebate ends on Sunday. I am on the fence about the two...

    Any thoughts on the Eco Motion Tour e Road XS?

    I can’t find much in terms of reviews of the XS model. The specs and design are very appealing but would love to know more. Thanks

    I am considering the purchase of a used ST1x It is a 22” frame I am 6’0 in shoes. Stromer site shows 22” frame for someone over 6.07’ so I am a hair under Does anyone have any experience here that might help me determine if this will be too big for me? I know that I should try it in person...

    Did anyone look at the crowd-funded Spinciti this week?

    Seems like a lot of bike for the $$....I was tempted but I think I really want a throttle.

    I've given up....at least for now....

    Well, the 'shopping for an eBike' process has been frustrating: 1. decided to buy a very slightly used Pedego Ridge Rider and the seller, who had agreed to sell to me, canceled as I was about to go pick it up, saying 'his son sold it to someone else without telling him' 2. My back up bike sold...

    Vanmoof on less than flat topography?

    There are so few reviews of the S2 in the US that I can't find much that talks about how well the S2 performs on modest hills, and also if it is classlifed as a Class 1 or a Class 3. Any observations?

    Ridge Rider for on road use?

    Would love to hear from people who use their RR at least mostly on road. I am close to pulling the trigger on one and want to hear what others experiences have been. Was originally focused on an Interceptor (and found two very appealing deals on used/demo models) but I really like the battery...

    Stromer ST1X vs Pedego City Commuter

    Thoughts here? I can't find a Stromer to test anywhere near me so I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone has some experience comparing the two. STROMER: - love the App - love the mid battery (and, from reading reviews, I think I'd like the related balance/center of gravity) - love the...

    Looking for Guidance- Commuter/Light Cruiser eBike

    I am looking to buy my first eBike. Ideally I'd like to spend no more than $2000. That could mean some more 'value' bikes new or some more 'premium' bikes used. I am still a bit all over the map so I know I need to focus my search parameters a bit but would welcome feedback from others. While I...
