Amateur RIDGE RIDER ON THE RIDGE REPORT: Approaching 300 miles overall. I have finally had my Ridge Rider in the mountains for the last two days instead of on the road. Whilst my battery recharges again, I'll make these general observations while saying my overall satisfaction at this price...

And it is nice to see an e-bike manufacturer offering multiple sizes for it's models. Be interesting to see Court's reviews!

Picture 1: Store Demo/rental on the right, what would eventually be my Pedego Ridge Rider July '16 on the left. Picture 2: My first ride on my new bike went for 24.2 miles on full assistance (levels 4 and 5) and a lot of throttle. I was shocked to have 52% battery left (I haven't even removed...

So at 2:49 Central Time July 19th, this site reports the people on-line at the time on this site. "Total: 34 (members: 7, guests: 15, robots: 12)" What the heck are 12 robots?

I'm getting great range already. After posting that I scored a rare 14 ah battery instead of the standard 11.6 ah for my Pedego Ridge Rider (a 17ah will be released by Pedego this Fall), someone said to me that the battery will do even better after it is broken in at around ten charge cycles...

I'm thinking a stock Pedego Ridge Rider is probably perfect out of the shipping container for someone 5'9" or 5'10". In fact, Court in his video review says he is 5'9", and comments that the Ridge Rider, "Is just about perfect for me." I satisfactorily rode a Ridge Rider on a 28 mile loop and...

Today we took two 2016 Ridge Riders (picture 1) on an identical 24.2 mile loop. One Ridge Rider had the standard 11.6 ah battery, while the second had a 14 ah battery that had a very limited production run as a 17 ah option is coming later this year (that's the rumor anyway as I understand...

So I have had a Raleigh Detour iE for a month, and for the first two of five bars on the battery level the bike cruises effortlessly on level ground at or around 20.2 mph. Today, the battery depleted to under 40% (two then one bar on the battery level) and the bike with the exact same pedaling...

My new Pedego Ridge Rider will come with a special run 14 amp battery instead of an 11 amp battery (the 11 amp version is what Court tested on this site (https://electricbikereview.com/pedego/ridge-rider/). And instead of the 556 Watt Hours this has 672 (eventually a 17 amp will be available...

My Raleigh Detour iE has 8 speeds. When stopping I used to gear down from 8th to 6th or 5th gear so that I'm ready to take off in a lower gear as 8th is too tall from a full stop. Then I thought, why change gears at all? Now unless I'm pointed up a hill, I leave it in 8th, and upon starting I...

So there are a thousand ways to look at cost, and therefore any way you compare is highly debatable such as my choices below to only compare at full assistance levels. I currently ride a 2015 Raleigh Detour iE and have on order a Trek XM 700+ (notified last week it is due in the second week of...

The Thudbuster seems to be mentioned in many of the bike reviews here and the BodyFloat is recommended in the Trek XM 700+ review. I thought the Thud Buster long travel version was my ticket. However in the long-travel version I tried you seem to have to alter your pedal technique a little to...

On a steep learning curve as a new ebiker - appreciate your grace and patience as I have peppered this board with posts. Or if you can refer me to primer to make sense out of all the electrical stuff. THANKS! The Trek-only dealer I work with about 100 miles from me called for the rest of my...

How many miles/km have you rolled up on your ebike? Along the way, what have you had to buy? Tires? Cassetes? Chains? You name it?

Bought a Raleigh Detour last week and went to the bike shop today and they had zero answers for transport beyond using traditional bike solutions while being mindful of the additional weight. Can someone please advise? Much thanks.

After spending a lot of time trying to call around to find a Class 3 Trek XM 700+ in stock which apparently is impossible, I decided to order one. Am advised that their July run is sold out in advance, they would strongly maybe get me one by August but for sure by October. The dealer is a...

So after buying an ebike last week (Raleigh) I reached out to the members' coordinator of a very large bike community here with organized rides most days of the month. To say I got a terse e-mail response would be an understatement. Are owner's of traditional bikes and more specifically the...

Buying my first bike, and in the reviews some bikes have sensors that reduce power during a gear change to reduce shock and stress to the driveline. Others do not. How important is this? And where in the review specifications can I see if a given model has this feature? What is it called...
