    Cargo Capable Commuter ?

    I would go with Ariel Rider C-Class . Rear rack is part of the frame which is welded so their website claims to carry upto 300 lbs and also has front rack. As i know recently they have some clearance sales for $1500 . The motor is pretty powerful which is same motor with pedego or bh...

    Looking for First Commuter eBike - But 260 lbs.

    Then cruisers or upright dutch style bikes are good for you. I will still advise choose a bike with strong brand. Don't go with bafang motors . Pedego, Some of Yuba bikes, Ariel Rider are good options. Check each one as they must have discounts right now . Vintage electric is an awesome...

    Confusion Choosing a Second Ebike

    I think Ariel Rider C-class fit for your requirements. Their rear rack is integrated into the frame so can carry a heavy load. Also has a very nice front rack with some bungee ropes to fix things you carry + cup holder for coffee. And as i know they use the same Dapu motor like Pedego and...

    Ariel Rider at Interbike 2016

    As much as i know it comes with other colors too. And they also have Brose versions as i checked the video on youtube. I know they offer 40% discount recently for new year. So can be a good time to buy if want one.

    Yamaha vs Dapu motors

    I am a big fan of Dapu motors. Tried several brands like o2, Ariel Rider, BH. All were very responsive, fast . I always feel hubs are more fun to ride. If you want to use it like a mtb then mid drive is better. For service mid-drives are easier just more compact. But if a bike store is...

    Netherlands sells more ebike than old school

    Yeah first thing i was advised in Netherlands was, if you hit a cyclist at best you will be 50% guilty and in most cases 100% guilty.

    New Bosch Powered Tern Folder coming 2017

    Thats a fast bike and love the feeling . My only issue is, it is very heavy for a folding bike. Which takes portability element of folding bike. Then i wonder why i need to have a folding bike other than having a small car with limited loading space. (in this case it can be useful to have a...

    Netherlands sells more ebike than old school

    I have lived there for sometime and i can say i am not surprised. 1- Infrastructure is suitable for bicycles. 2- Having car over there is expensive and not convenient (hard to find parking lots and expensive, always traffic jam, bicycles - pedestrians have priority) For selling more e-bikes...

    Stromer ST1 20 inch, big enough for me?

    Yeah without trying you can never know . Also check the battery condition as it must have a dated battery. Replacement can cost lots fyi

    Good idea ordering an ebike from Alibaba/China?

    I think don't make sense to import from Alibaba for personal use. You can never forecast the import costs and duties. Second after sales will be a big issue. If battery or motor has one missing document you will face lots of problems and headache which also means $$$. That bike can cost in...

    Brose compared to Bosch, Yamaha and STEPS

    If i have to earn that power by pedaling that harder, then i question what is the use of having an electric bike. In high pedal assist mode i prefer not to have difficulty climbing uphill. The system can be sophisticated but sometimes perfection comes from simplicity. In low pas modes if...

    How does torque sensing work?

    I will prefer torque sensor especially if you don't have throttle. Not only for comfort reason also safety. In certain cases where you need to accelerate suddenly cadence won't serve well for you. You will depend on your legs but in torque sensor it is possible to get extra boost from motor...

    250w ebike foldable

    Only one point about it after i have a quick check. 1- Genuine leather saddle. :::: I saw that saddle before in many chinese e-bikes. It is not genuine leather saddle. I will try to find the photo of that saddle and show. 399 is a deal too good to be true .

    250w ebike foldable

    Never but never buy kickstarter for your main bike. If you have one and extra cash to burn (risk) then buy kickstarter bikes. 1- End products sometimes different than what stated. 2- Never sure if you will get your bike . 3- Time is a big question. Sometimes can receive 9 months or a year...

    Brose compared to Bosch, Yamaha and STEPS

    The torque rate is high but once you try it, you never feel the power . So for me i never trust the rated values . I see many bikes with range 100 miles, 35 mph etc... And most never provide it. Also mid drive motors rate their torque with the help of rider's pedaling power (which is little...
