Cause of fire not determined yet. Selfishly, I really hope it wasn't caused by a Vado SL battery. Gocycle and Canyon in same office park but apparently separate buildings. https://www.velonews.com/news/fire-devestates-uk-headquarters-of-specialized-bicycles/

Thoughts on Schwalbe's new tube? https://www.bikeradar.com/news/schwalbe-aerothan/

Hi @Court or others. Dumb question here perhaps but does the forum currently have functionality for User Groups? For instance if I want to ask a question of @TrekAllant9.9sOwners (just for example) is there a user group I can create and we can join? If not, I'd suggest a process where we submit...

What is it? Will it be e-powered? Hammer smashes light bulb - not electric?

My first non-Bosch e-bike. It hasn't gotten off to a great start. I don't have the bike yet (tomorrow - maybe) but my service experience with the LBS from date of order to now has been the worst I've ever had for any large purchase. I can't go into all of the details here because I want to keep...

I received the email, as a lot of you probably did, from the folks at Cirrus Cycles that they are working on a Kinekt suspension stem (launched on Kickstarter I think). I also noticed that the recently announced SuperCharger 3 from R&M has an option to upgrade to an adjustable stem with the Kiox...

https://nypost.com/2019/12/31/delivery-guy-gets-e-bike-stolen-out-from-under-him/ Actually I recently had a conversation with some knowledgeable folks who felt that perhaps once e-bikes are better known, that we urban commuters might have additional security concerns. Apart from the standard...

I thought this was an interesting video about the e-bike doctor. Then I thought perhaps it might be an interesting thread topic where we can hear from folks on the forum who use e-bikes for work. Not commuting to work but rather as work vehicles. Could be delivery riders, police etc:

I received my medium high-step Allant late in the day on Friday. 1 mile home from the shop and 15 miles on a couple of errands yesterday. Given my mods are not complete and I've done little testing of the bike, this post and thread will likely see a lot of editing in the near future. All of my...

Would you like a new commuter every month? Car subscription services are becoming a thing. Now bike subscription going live in Europe and the Pon Group is involved (Kalkhoff, Gazelle...). Could this work here? Perhaps run on small scale out of an LBS for a local area? Perhaps for delivery...

I've been one to follow this forum and other sources and I always try to keep a running list of brand/model changes that interest me or technology changes. I get pretty enthused this time of year as we head into Interbike (no more) and Eurobike. I am considering a new bike for next commuting...

I know someone posted a link a year or so ago but I've searched and I can't find: I think I am finally going to bite the bullet and order the latest version of the BadAss Box for my Haibike (V4 I think). Does anyone have a link for a reliable Euro seller that will ship to the US (BadAss doesn't...

I started this thread last year and we saw some really amazing mileage totals and interesting year-end recaps. Hoping to gather some more stories, totals, goals met (?) for 2018. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/how-was-your-2017-mileage-significant-events.15699/ For me, I fell...

Well yes, I did make this purchase. I alluded to this in my Charger chronicles. You all know that after a year+ of commuting under my belt I decided that Nuvinci wasn't really my cup of tea (or 'cup of e' as someone else on this forum puts it). The Nuvinci is really a fine hub and I'd definitely...

I could see this being the case for e-bikes as well if they were more common. The article got me curious and I searched on e-scooter accidents and found many articles relating accidents on the Bird, Lime etc scooters...

Nice job Benedict! My bike commute takes me through some pretty insecure areas. Hope I get a helping hand if/when needed: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/03/uk/benedict-cumberbatch-saves-deliveroo-cyclist-intl/index.html

I'm hoping some of you have some experience riding the rail trails (on your e-bikes) in the Midwest and can relate them in this thread. I want to plan some long weekend trips with the wife using Class 1 bikes. Areas of interest would be Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. So far, all of the...

Anyone know if it would be possible to switch out the Nuvinci hub on my R&M Charger for a Shimano Alfine 11? Is the Alfine robust enough for mid-drive e-bike use? I saw something online recommending the Alfine 8 over the 11 for a mid-drive e-bike but the 8 doesn't have the gear range of the...

I have the Tern GSD on order (maybe see it in April) and I've added a Tern Vektron to the order. I may see it next week. I ordered the GSD to get the wife into e-biking with little risk that the bike would go unused (because I'll use it if she doesn't). I'm not sure if I will commute on it given...

We have a week to go but given SE Michigan is about to hit the deep freeze, I figure my 2017 riding days came to an end today. I put in 20 miles today just running errands on a gorgeous sunny 35F day. I'll finish 2017 with just under 3,300 miles. 800+ on the Haibike, 1,900+ on the R&M and 550+...
