So I've been looking to replace my almost 5 year old Espin Sport and finally got a R1U Turris. I was trying to decide between that and a Lectric XPress but decided I wanted the 2.4" tires and was too lazy to build another ebike (had built my Espin Sport and my Aventon Soltera 2). Luckily...

New version is out: https://ride1up.com/product/roadster-v3/ Electrek article: https://electrek.co/2024/09/12/ride1up-roadster-v3-launched-as-new-low-cost-belt-drive-e-bike-with-torque-sensor/ I like the 10-speed version.

This was actually earlier this week but Ride1Up has permanently dropped prices on many of their models: https://electrek.co/2024/04/09/why-a-leading-electric-bike-company-just-slashed-nearly-all-its-prices/ I always thought R1U was already affordable so this is good for anyone on the fence.

Looks like they will be letting us know on 10/27/23: I wonder if it will be a full size folding ebike? They seem to be hitting every folding category out there. Maybe an XP Lite 2.0?

Ride1Up finally has a folding bike: https://ride1up.com/product/portola/ Also featured in Electrek: https://electrek.co/2023/10/23/why-the-new-sub-1k-ride1up-portola-electric-bike-will-shock-the-industry/ This looks really good. Was considering the XP 3.0 but the design of the Portola is...

So now that we are doing longer, faster rides with the e-bikes, our kids can't hang so we decided to get another Soltera... but this is the sequel, Soltera.2: Electric Boogaloo! This is our experience with the original Soltera...

Electrek had an interesting article speculating that Sondors might go the way of VanMoof: https://electrek.co/2023/08/22/signs-point-to-e-bike-company-sondors-in-peril-leaving-riders-stranded/ Has anyone here bought one of their e-motorcycles?

Was it just me or was the EBR forums down most of the day yesterday? I was getting EBR withdrawals.

Lectric is expanding their line again... recently the eTrike and now this: https://electrek.co/2023/02/21/game-changing-lectric-xpedition-launched-as-affordable-electric-cargo-bike/ https://lectricebikes.com/pages/xpedition-cargo-ebike It doesn't fold (except for the handlebars) but lots of...

Not sure I've seen any other ebikes in this format other than modified Lectrics: https://electrek.co/2023/02/02/swft-bmx-e-bike-review-finally-a-fun-electric-bmx-bike-on-a-budget/ Looks pretty cool and with a $999 price ($735 at Best Buy), it's affordable for an N+1.

https://electrek.co/2023/01/09/lectric-xp-trike-electric-tricycle-teaser-revealed/ More will be revealed on 1/13 but for $1500 that's a real good deal. I have some older friends who may want this over a bike.

I've used several different repair/maintenance options since I got my ebike. I've done 2 mobile repair services, 2 different shops and just recently used REI (who I highly recommend for the cheapest prices and they don't care if you didn't buy your bike/ebike from them). Back during the height...

Wing doesn't have it's own sub-forum and not many people have them here but saw they had a new step-thru model: https://wingbikes.com/pages/freedom-st I like the non-black colors:

I've been looking at this bike for a while as I've been looking for a light, inexpensive model... and this one had most of the things I was looking for: 1. Less than 45 lbs. 2. Multi-speed 3. Throttle What was it missing? 1. Hydraulic brakes 2. Finger trigger gear shifter (uses the twister...

Aventon updated their Pace 350/500 models: https://electrek.co/2022/03/22/aventon-launches-new-pace-500-and-350-electric-bikes-with-big-updates-for-fast-quality-e-bikes/ - New integrated battery frame - Lights integrated similar to Soltera I have a local store that sells Aventon near me and...

Has anyone bought the newer version of the Freedom X/2 with the stealthier battery? I've read maybe one or two reviews here and seen some Youtube videos but nothing really recent.

Most of these D2C (direct to consumer) brands are really communicative pre-sale but I've read many posts here that once you received your bike, it's much harder to get answers after the sale. How is it with Ride1Up? I ask because I don't read many issues were their after-sale support and I'm...

I don't normally ride very fast on my Espin Sport (I probably have PTSD from my biking accident last year). But now that some of the guys in my biking crew have ebikes, we like to compare how fast we can go. The first time we did it was a closed street straightaway but had to abort because the...

So first off, I initially wanted to get a hanging hitch rack because 1) my friend has a nice Yakima 4-bike hanging one and 2) I could also use it as a maintenance stand (which I've also been shopping for). But after reading tons of posts here and on the Internet and looking at YouTube, I...

Has anyone seen the light turn any other color than blue? I went multiple 17-20 mile rides on my Sport and although I don't use the power that often, the indicator on the display showed 3 bars. But when I press the level check button on the battery itself, it is still blue. Does anyone know...
