So after much riding and testing, I bought the Kona El Kahuna SUV. It was being sold by a nearby LBS that has a large and solid presence in the community. The primary deciding factors were that it was among the ‘lightest’ bikes and the LBS had a good relationship with Kona. Now with 350 miles on...

This is a cross posting from 'Parts and Accessories' I'm riding a loaner bike until mine is ready. It uses Shimano Steps components as will mine, DU-E6100 motor, BT-E8010 battery, SC-E7000 display, and the SE-E6000 switch. The display is too small for me so I've installed E-Tube Project and...

I'm having an issue with a Shimano E-Tube app used for turning a mobile phone into a display. I've posted on 'Parts and Accessories' forum, but maybe the Shimano forum is more appropriate. Is it possible to 'cross post' on both? How? Or move a post? TIA

I'm riding a loaner bike until mine is ready. It uses Shimano Steps components as will mine, DU-E6100 motor, BT-E8010 battery, SC-E7000 display, and the SE-E6000 switch. The display is too small for me so I've installed E-Tube Project and E-Tube Ride on my cell phone. The Project shows all...

So here's a bridge photo of a bike that got delivered and built by Full Cycles in Boulder CO. They had ordered the Kona El Kahuna SUV for me. The non SUV version was delivered. A new bike needed to be ordered another 10-14 days until it would be delivered and built. So they just give me this...

It's been quite the education, riding so many brands and models. The basic criteria have been: Class 1; Somewhat rideable without motor assist; Mid mounted motor with torque sensor; Front suspension; Removeable battery in the down tube; hardish $4k price ceiling; and not least LBS that sells and...

Moved to 'Help Choosing a bike' forum. Please excuse my misplacement.

So how stupid is it to buy a new bike and upgrade it to what you think would be better? A Specialized Turbo Tero 4 hardtail is pretty much what I'd like, but yikes there is none. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-tero-x-4-0/p/200360?color=323886-200360 So how bad would it be to buy the...

So Rocky Mountain ebikes just poped onto my radar. I'm looking for a hardtail with mid motor, class 1, torque sensor, preferably under 50lb so that it may be ridden withour motor until my age kicks in, and under $4k. The Fusion 10 and Growler 30 seem to check a lot of boxes. Anyone have any...

Do any older riders add dropper posts to make on/off the bikes easier? As the years start adding up, it's starting to be a big lift getting a leg over the saddle. And step thrus for XL sizes seem not on design boards.Yeah, you can lean the bike over to the side, if the groceries aren't too...

So I’ve spent time this fall riding ebikes at many Denver area LBSs and found many good people, but haven’t found the bike to buy. So I’m asking this more experienced community for advice. I’m in my mid 70’s, 6’2” 190lbs. I bike 500-1000 miles per year on washboard roads, coarse gravel trails...

Does anyone ride the Double Peak I/O? Know if the integral battery on the 2022 is removeable? What does it weigh?

Those of you that can't remove your battery, what effect are you seeing during the winter- on range, longevity, ...? One of my criteria for picking my first ebike has been that it have a removable battery. This to make the bike light enough to transport on a trunk rack with a 40ish pound...

Can anyone share a link to reviews of the Oreba Keram or the Urrun? Maybe we'll see something here on EBR soon?

The lighter weight to price ratios have me focused on Kona for riding mostly gravel paths and country roads, but also asphalt. My current Trek 6000 with 26x1.95 tires, Michelin 559s get thrown around a lot on the graveled paths, so I'm thinking the DEW-E DL would need wider tires. The wash board...
