I had a stroke in January 2019 and have been unable to ride any of my bikes except for a recumbent catrike700 which is fun but my goal is to get back on the road, gravel and mountain bikes. Getting the balance and hand dexterity has extremely difficult

For what its worth, I bought a Haibike for my wife from Random Bike Parts over a year ago for a pretty good discount. On delivery the bike box was a bit banged up, but the bike was fine and as advertised. She hasn't had any problems with it since it was purchased. If I was going to purchase...

I think the Cube looks good as well, but agree it will be pretty expensive with either a dura ace or a ultergra set of components. At 13.8 kg, that is one really light ebike. I have done a fair amount of off-road bikepacking and on-road touring. In my experience, most bikepackers generally...

The Orbea Gain is a very slick looking bike. I really like the specs on the gravel model that allows up to 40 mm tires. My guess is that the Orbea, Pinarello and Focus road ebikes won't be available in the US until 2019. These bikes are taking the "stealth" concept to a different level...

I think one of the more interesting road ebikes coming on the market is the pinarello nytro. It looks like Pinarello is attempting to create a true road ebike, that is very lightweight, a carbon frame, high end components and ability to ride without the battery or motor when appropriate. The...

I have shipped non-electric bikes several times for bike tours. It is relatively easy to break down a bike for shipping. Lots of zip ties, bubble wrap and foam pipe covers. I also put camping gear, shoes, helmet, etc (all zip tied in) in the box as well. IMO, the best company to ship a bike...

I don't have an ebike, but I draft my wife when she is riding hers. Keep in mind that if wheels touch when drafting the drafting rider is the one who goes down, not the rider providing the draft. Common cycling courtesy is let the draftee know when you grab their wheel. I'm been on both sides...

Yes. This is essentially the issue that divides the ebike community from the rest of the cycling community. If you a riding a bike, as opposed to a moped, 20 mph is considered pretty fast and 28 mph, except downhill, is incredibly fast. Keep in mind that most recreational bikers are riding 14...

I believe it is probable that as ebike speeds increase there will be a division between bicycles that provide some minimal assistance to the rider via an electric motor, with normal bicycle speeds and used like a bicycle, and something that more that travels at a higher rate of speed. In most...

I ride a regular bike and my wife rides a PAS Haibike. I really like ebikes and will buy one for myself at some point. I do think that, in general, people that go from riding a regular bike to an ebike tend to favor PAS bikes since pedaling is what they are used to and what seems normal while...

My wife is considering a Trek dual sport+, but we are having some difficulty finding any actual user reviews or a review from Court. (Please review this model when you get a chance, Court. Your reviews are the best bike, not just ebike, reviews I have seen.) I believe this model uses a 250...

Thanks George. Is that also true for dedicated ebikes, ie Trek, Raleigh etc.? Is it correct to say that the batteries that Luna Cycle sells are for essentially for use with conversion kits?

I'm considering purchasing 2016 haibike with a 400 wh battery for touring. While I understand that Haibike (as well as other manufacturers) sell second or replacement batteries, can you purchase a battery from a third party vendor like luna cycle (which seem to significantly cheaper even though...
