"Put it back where it belongs". I heard that umpteen times as a kid and repeated it countless times to my own kids. Last week I forgot to heed my own advice and absent-mindedly left my trusty "Cycplus" brand portable electric air pump on an empty bike rack tray before hitting the highway...

I currently use a Hollywood Sport Rider rack. It's a solid, well made e-bike carrier that works perfectly for my mid-step Priority Current, but requires an adapter bar for my newly acquired Evelo Omega and any other bike with a pure V style frame. I really dislike the adapter bar for a number...

In the fall of 2019, I purchased my first e-bike (Avention Pace 500) and then went through a learning curve of sorts, buying, selling and testing about a dozen models until I happily settled on the Priority Current. The Current met all of my criteria (mid drive belt, IGH, etc.) but early this...

Asking for a friend. Truly. I was asked for input by my neighbors who spend half the year in Florida. Since they are new to the e-bike world I suggested they try something fairly economical to see if it's something they will find enjoyable. I had no knowledge of Bird e-bikes until I read...

I was suggesting various e-bikes to my adult nephew who I would describe as e bike-curious, but still resistant. The new E Classic Plus looks like a potentially promising transition bike on paper, but there are no actual reviews I could find thus far. (Judging by the YT comment section, some...

I've been on the fence about purchasing one of these for some time, but the 15% accessory sale gave me an excuse to indulge myself. It should be delivered later this week. Unlike the Current itself, it's still not exactly a bargain, but then again, there are times this summer and fall I expect...

The above quote from Electric Bike Review last year. I'm not "inexperienced or have shifting limitations". In fact, I just take shifting for granted, but enticed by the idea of not having to do so, just as my grandparents were likely stoked when they purchased a 1950's Buick with an automatic...

A friend that owns a Lite forwarded a link this morning. My response was "hmm...that's interesting". I really have no opinion, only genuine curiosity from a marketing perspective. I have the same general broad-brush impression of Amazon e-bikes that I have about bikes sold at Walmart...

For those not familiar, bollards are the iron/concrete posts spaced a meter (38 inches) apart at trail crossings. I live in northern New England, but I'm assuming these are commonplace on rail trails everywhere. All the bollard posts I've encountered have been next to gates, which presumably...

I purchased a Mini during the holiday season, but given that I live in the land of frozen noses and toes-es, I didn't have a chance to give-it-a-go until earlier this month. I explained my personal motivation for buying one of these on another thread. The Mini proved to be as portable as I...

I already own a full size E-Bike I'm more than happy with, but the Black Friday special on these Lectric's is still very tempting for several reasons: A) While it's a pretty heavy bike, I can keep it in the car trunk most of the time for impulse trail rides away from home. B) It can be an extra...

I am thinking about buying an XP 2.0 as a portable e-bike option for my Prius Prime, which is generally driven by other members of the household. (My personal daily driver is a VW Tiguan SUV, and I manage to fit my full size e-bike into that). At the moment the Prius Prime is parked at a...

I searched the forum for this, but didn't see it discussed previously. Perhaps I missed it. I ordered the Ecotric foldable 500W fat tire bike (FAT20810) over the weekend through Amazon, but got spooked by a review on "Bikeride". This was going to be an affordable extra ebike for others in the...

I had a blast on my maiden Pace 500 voyages over the weekend, but hoisting and manipulating the bike in and out of my 2019 VW Tiguan is already growing old fast. I've come to realize that just removing the front wheel would be much easier. According to this Aventon instructional video (link...
