    Strange sound under load gone with new update!

    I was having this strange cogging sound when bike was under load. Contacted Bionx and they said to get bike hooked up to computer to get update on firmware. Took it in to local ebike shop, got fireware updated and it rides better than when I bought it. Unreal. Took 1 min and now zero sound...

    Where are all the goodies from Interbike?

    Been waiting to hear about new stuff now for weeks -- but unless I am missing some thread it's been silent here... it started today, right?

    Bent derailleur bracket

    My son accidentally tipped over my OHM 700-XU 15 and the derailleur bracket bent (it works but there is no 'stop' for the last gear, it just falls off the chain). The first dent in my new baby -- alas, not even 2 months old! Worst part is bike shop won't have it ready for 5 days...

    Suntour NCX seat suspension -- lock it in?

    I just installed my new Suntour NCX suspension -- love it. But it's quick release -- pretty easy to steal, no? What do you guys with NCX/thudbuster/bodyfloat do? Do you take your seat off every time you lock your bike? Or install a screw so it's not quick release? Another option would be...

    Range might not be everything but it's a lot!

    Just reading Court's latest review of the Specialized 9K beast http://electricbikereview.com/specialized/s-works-turbo-levo-fsr-6fattie/ and I was surprised at the lack of range (25 to 55 miles). It's not a commuter bike so I guess it's not that important but if you're out for the day you...

    Suntour NCX

    Just ordered the suntour NCX seat suspension post from OHM accessory store http://shop.ohmcycles.com/collections/accessories Actually tough to find so glad I had e-mailed Michael. Seems to be more common in Europe. Looking forward to trying it out and going over a few potholes! Spending way...

    250km and honeymoon not over!

    What an amazing bike. No complaints, still very much loving the bike and the beautiful high-end components I lovingly gaze at once in a while. Getting a lot of remarks on how good it looks -- think I am a good ambassador for the brand here as I bike to coffee shops, banks, grocery stores...

    I was happily riding

    my BELOVED e-bike this afternoon.... I had to run some errands so after work, instead of getting into my car, I grabbed my U-lock, wallet, keys and phone, put it in my pannier and hopped on my OHM beauty of a bike (I have yet to name it -- thinking maybe Diego -- not bad for D series BionX...

    BionX D series -- first impressions

    BionX D 500DV, 48V 11.6 Ah/ 555 Wh In one word: beast! The distance I can get on this thing -- even when using level 4 (full) pedal assist and throttle is incredible. I go on 40-50km trips and still have over half the battery left -- but I do use Regen on downhill, but I would do that even...

    BionX D series throttle /versus level 4

    My level 1/2 seem not very noticeable (at least on low level hills), 3 really start to feel it, 4 start to cruise and then throttle is super kick. I had assumed (wrongly) that level 4 was the same power assist level as throttle but on my bike at least the throttle is a whole different ball...

    Just Bought the 2015 OHM XS 750 sport

    Happy to see Court's 10/10 rating on the latest review! Picking up this Friday and looking forward to using that BionX D 500 series motor. Love the high end components on the bike relative to the price (not cheap but not crazy either at $4000). Got the city package added to it for commuting...
