    '25 Orbea Wild M20 - display question

    My wife has a 2025 Orbea Wild with the Bosch Gen 5 motor. It doesn't have a display (Kiox), so her options are either using her phone via the Flow app or kind of guessing mode and battery level via the Purion (where you change assist levels, etc). My question is: 1. How hard would it be to add...

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    This is an amazing bike. It is so comfortable, and the mid-drive is a lot of fun. 1,200 miles in 4.5 months with a knee surgery as well as bike out of commission (pedal strike bent the crank, so had to be replaced) speaks to my enjoyment. I've also bought 2 e-mtb's during this time & have about...

    Any thoughts/ advice on 2021/22 Kona 130 full-suspension e-mtb?

    I am going to look at a 2021/22 Kona 130 full suspension emtb a little later, and I wanted to find out if anyone has any experience with this bike. I know the brand is going, well, tits up shortly, but that doesn't mean Kona didn't make good bikes. Anyone riding this one, have ridden before or...

    Get repaired (if possible), donate, trade in or ride into the ground?

    Looking for advice. I have a 3+ year old Himiway Cruiser w/ a hair over 2,700 miles on it. For the last 700-800 miles, there is a weird grinding noise from the motor. I still ride it fine, but that grinding noise is, literally, like nails on a chalkboard. Think it might be the planetary gears or...

    Discover 2 and, soon, Nomad 2

    The Discover 2 looks like (and sounds like) such a nice bike. If I hadn't just bought another new bike a few weeks ago, I would have been looking HARD at this one. The Nomad 2, when it comes out, should be a clear winner over others, like Rad, Lectric and even Aventon. The current Nomad, even...

    Why no sub-forum for Euphree e-bikes?

    I was looking under bike brands, and Euphree isn't an option. I know they are growing and just released the new "Stellar Falcon." I just purchased a different bike, but the one, of out all that I test-rode (Aventon Aventure2, Electric Bike Company... a couple of their models, Wired Freedom...

    2nd ride on Himiway A7 Pro - what went into thinking and other bikes I considered

    This was my 1st time uploading a video to YouTube. I will get better at it, but it has my first impressions of the Himiway A7 Pro, what I like and stuff I need to improve upon to make it the ride I want and some of the other bikes I considered.

    Ordered the A7 Pro

    via a local bike shop, who will assemble w/ Tannus inserts (why not?). It's supposed to ship to the bike shop (so, shipping from SoCal to NorCal), so it's possible that I could be riding it this weekend. Can't freaking wait!

    Anyone have the Zebra Pro?

    I have the original Himiway Cruiser (over 2,600 miles), and I've beat the hell out of it (in a good way). It has taken a lickin' & kept on tickin'. It still runs great, but, 4 years later, there are some things I'd like in my next ebike. Obviously, I like Himiway. Being older now but still doing...

    Upcoming sales?

    While I obsess about which ebike will be my upgrade, there is also the internal debate about whether I should buy now (keep in mind, I have an ebike now which works perfectly fine, but I WANT the newer features on newer bikes... mine's 4+ yrs old) or wait until later this spring? I've seen...

    Upgrading from original Himiway Cruiser

    Now in my early 50s, looking to upgrade, from the original Himiway Cruiser (step-over). It's been a great bike... just did a 30-mile ride earlier. I definitely want a step-through (not as nimble as I once was) and am thinking about a mid-drive motor, possibly with a Gates belt-drive, a torque...

    Hello from Folsom, CA!

    Have owned the original Himiway Cruiser since early 2020. It's been a great bike... fast, powerful and a powerful battery for longer rides. Now in my early 50s, looking to upgrade... somewhat. I definitely want a step-through (not as nimble as I once was) and am thinking about a mid-drive motor...
