Waiting to see how well they will do on hills.

Lenny, Thanks for your reply. Just looking for a simple nice looking bike that will get me up those hills comfortably. The other bike I'm considering is the Ride Scoozy. They are coming out at the end of May with updated bikes that might do the trick. I do not need all the techno gadgetry, just...

Tora, With in-saddle peddling will a person be able to climb a 10-15 degree hill comfortably? Thanks

The E-Bike store - 809 N. Rosa Parks Way, Portland, Or 97217 503-360-1432 Their website shows the Raleigh Misceo iE that your looking for. Call and see if they have it in stock. The Portland Ebike Expo will be in Portland on May 20th. It is mentioned that they will have 80 bikes on hand to test.

Court J, Thanks for your response. When I first started thinking about doing this, I was considering a Trek FX3. Now after reading all the comments that might be overkill, except for the fact you want to make sure you have a great braking system. I will check out Bikes Direct. Thanks again. Tom

Hello everyone, Just out of curiosity I was wondering if a person was going to build a bike using the BBSo2 or BBSHD and needed to buy a bicycle which ones would work the best. It seems to me since your using an ebike kit, you wouldn't need a 27 geared bike. Also, you might want a stronger...

Best Birthday Wishes to you. Thanks for everything you do.

J.R., Glad you checked them out. If you do get a chance to go to British Columbia you will have a wonderful time. It is really beautiful up there. Here's one site that might be of help. http://www.hellobc.com/british-columbia/things-to-do/outdoor-activities/biking.aspx

Another idea is to go to your states website and check for designated bike rides. I added a few below to check out. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) http://www.oregon.gov Hope this helps.

Glad you found some trails. Rails to Trails have done a remarkable job and will continue to grow. I think you might even enjoy the San Juan Islands, besides, Seattle, Wa is a fun city on your way there.

Here is a website that I think everyone will like: http://www.railstotrails.org Beautiful trails up in Vancouver, BC and Victoria, BC. The Pacific Northwest is a great place to visit and bike. The Centennial trail that runs from Spokane, Wa to Couer d Alene, Id. is great.

Hi John, You might want to google "turbo bob". He is very active in the ebike community in San Diego. He has a blog and a Facebook page, and reviews on you tube. He also organizes many ebike outings and seminars that would really help. I would contact him and talk to him. Maybe you can convince...

I've seen a few 2014 Dash's for sale in my area for about the same price. It seems a few dealers are unloading 2014 models.

The Haibike felt bulkier and heavier to me. The feel of the Felt just was more natural. I wouldn't dismiss either bike. It might just come down to aesthetics of the bike. For me if I was to by a Bosch, I would choose the Felt. I was able to try both on the same day which was nice. Right now I'm...

Southpaw, Still think it would be great if you can try the bike out first. I personally couldn't buy anything without trying it. Do you have any vacations coming up? Could you travel to a city cheaply, (Bolt bus, Train, Southwest Air, hitch a ride through craigslist). Please be patient, this is...

Pace, I was looking for fenders that would give me the best results since I live in a very rainy area of the pacific northwest. Plus, the picture might not do them justice, they are very good looking fenders that would sharpen the look of your bike if your at all interested. Everyone on this...

I've been looking around at fenders since the Dash city kit is not available. Check out the following link, I think you will like them. http://handsomecycles.com/product/mud-butler-fenders-1

Came across this article and thought everyone would be interested. I enjoyed reading the comments and thought you would too. Tom http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2014/09/30/electric-bikes-gateway-drug-to-bike-commuting/

Southpaw, I'm looking for my first ebike as well. After reading this forum for awhile I have learned very much concerning electric bikes. Thanks to everyone who is on here. As you can see the information can be overwhelming. My first suggestion is to read as much as you can and ask lots of...

Julia, Thanks for the info. I remember reading somewhere that you should always keep the battery in an even temperature environment. That being said right now it is 51 degrees outside and my garage is 84 degrees. Today's high will be around 90. Those changes in temperature might have a long term...
