    Copenhagen Wheel Thoughts

    Risto - Thanks for picking up the ball on the Copenhagen Wheel. I got in the second wave which was supposed to be released this summer but they didn't finish the first 1000 wheels that sold for a discounted $699 until July. No date set yet but they say they should be shipping by the end of...

    FlyKly Update -- They've sold out to an Italian Firm and changed design

    Court - the CW specs lists 48v but nothing re: Ah of the battery. They talk about an accessory program where extra batteries will be available but nothing yet on the website. These are issues that need to be clarified and obviously reviews from the users in the first 1000 wheels sold would be...

    FlyKly Update -- They've sold out to an Italian Firm and changed design

    Still have not seen any reviews from Copenhagen Wheel from the first release. The information about FlyKly spec's and price make the CW seem like even a better VALUE.

    Purchasing a Kit from Leed

    Court - will only be in NE until Saturday. I was disappointed to find that the test rides are not offered until April 11. I may call to try to at least see one on this Friday when we will be in Boston. Oh Well, the lobster will still be good!! HB

    Copenhagen Wheel Thoughts

    FYI I just posted on the Leed thread regarding comparison with the Copenhagen Wheel. I am planning on getting a CW in June which is part of the second release. Looking for any reviews that might be out there from those who bought in Release 1. Thanks HB

    Purchasing a Kit from Leed

    Court, I read your review of the Leeds kit and at $699, it makes the Copenhagen Wheel look like a pretty good deal at $800. The CW doesn't have a throttle but the Leed doesn't have pedal assist which I would rather have. No wires, 48V and only adds 12 pounds to my existing Hybrid Trek and...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    Court- I have been out of the loop lately but still following various threads. I couldn't agree more about how good Gilbert's post is. Also have enjoyed all of your new reviews posted in February. Thanks for such a great site. HB

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    I give your video a 5 star. Nice job and you certainly seem to have gotten good value from your purchase. Your area of California seems pretty flat and appropriate for the lower power of the 24 volt setup. Good luck and thanks for the informative presentation. HB

    Torker T400 Electric Bicycle

    I got this response back from Torker regarding the T400 e-bike: From what I have seen, that is on the high end for a 24V Lithium battery. Buying a used bike is probably a risk even on one listed as "mint condition" that is a 2010 model. It may be a good deal for someone as the retail is...

    Torker T400 Electric Bicycle

    I am still trying to find an e-bike for a friend who needs basic daily transportation on an extremely limited budget. The Torker T-400 seems to be an unusual offering that retails at $1,500 and has the old Sturmey Archer internally geared 3 speed hub with a coaster brake and front hand brake...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    You really do burn the midnight oil!! Thanks for your quick response. I have been doing a great deal of research what with the IceJam2014 in Atlanta. I agree that the original bike is the best alternative and will hopefully be seeing by friend in time for the January sale. Also developing...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    Did you say hills? Have you seen the weather/news today? We have 2.5 inches of snow in Atlanta and it has shut the town down. Ice and snow is a disaster on any hill and we have them everywhere. So my friend's commute does include large hills so now you have me wondering again. He tried...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    I am assuming this is where a reply at the bottom of your message. My kids have said and I quote - "Dad, don't bother getting into the 21st century, but do try to get into the 20th!! I guess I'm not hopeless as I am BLOGGING!! I seem to have several versions of your reply on my screen and...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    Thanks to Court for nursing this old boy through the blogging process. This site is very interesting and I have been doing a great deal of research on ebikes and want to become an advocate. I am posting my first thread on any blog so let me know if I am getting too wordy as I tend to do...
