    Reviewing the new Jetson

    Gotcha. Well, if the quality is anything like the Adventure I'm reviewing, than it's going to be good. For that price, it's also a pretty good deal, depending on miles and overall state. Still, let us know what the quality and feel is. I've been looking for a few of their other products and owners.

    Reviewing the new Jetson

    Hey Telemachus, definitely I would get a used one if I found one. The Adventure jumped to to my top spots. It's a perfect bang for the buck in that bracket. Let us know if you get it and share your experience. There are a few things I would change, but it's mostly personal aergonomics and taste.

    Reviewing the new Jetson

    I just got the new Jetson and so far have been happy with it overall. Considering the price and the quality, the bike feels as if it would be closer to the $2,000 and above segment. So far everything works as advertised. The bike is smooth and very linear, with plenty of assist options, 9. More...

    Test riding the Gocycle G3

    Wow, that one one long and amazing test ride of the Gogcycle G3! I can't believe the company was kind enough to let us have it this long. We spent over two months on the Gocycle G3 and walking away with a lot to say on such a small e-bike. I'll say one thing. It is unique. It's hard to compare...

    Airless Tire at last on bikes first!

    Nope, just a strip that would snap around or tie around. I'm not an engineer. T was just a thought.

    Nice, I thought they would have made a bicycle version of it.

    Airless Tire at last on bikes first!

    I guess there needs to do a lot of lab work figuring out the right amount of blades, their composition, spacing, etc. It just seems like such a given to me. I used to have a few contacts at Michelin. I'll try to contact them next time I'm in France. I'm sure they'll have looked into it by now.

    Airless Tire at last on bikes first!

    Yes, good points. Pros, no need for air and should last a damn long time. Cons, I don't like the idea of a disposable anything. Ideally, it should have exchangeable tire surfaces. We could strip one for road use and another for off road. In terms of lightness, which should answer the...

    Airless Tire at last on bikes first!

    I'm pretty excited to hear about a partnership between Bridgestone Corporation and Bridgestone Cycle, which is introducing an airless tire made from recyclable resin. It's been a long time in the making and I had heard nothing for the past 5 years...

    Test riding the Gocycle G3

    That Gocycle is definitely a unique e-bike with its pros and cons. I mostly see the pros because it is what it is and hits its market bull's eye. It's a lot of fun to ride around and is incredibly stable the faster you ride it. It's a fun e-bike.

    One Year Test Riding a Genze e101

    GenZe lent me theire 101 e-bike about a year ago. Overall, I’ve been impressed with the bike considering the quality for that price. Is it perfect? Maybe not, but that also depends on what you’re looking for and what your budget is. Is it good enough? It is well above what I expected. I see this...

    Indiegogo e-bike question

    Oops, I missed that. I like crowdfunding projects. There are jewels to be picked for close to nothing if you look well.

    Indiegogo e-bike question

    That's also a good point. I think in this case, he's appealing to budget-oriented folks. There is no mention of warranty.

    Indiegogo e-bike question

    Exactly Joe. I'm not sure why he so negative but maybe a little help and a more positive approach could get that campaign on a better trail.

    Indiegogo e-bike question

    Thanks JR, I was wondering where he was quoting this stuff and it didn't fit with my limited understanding of the e-bike legalities.

    Indiegogo e-bike question

    Yes, he seems to have a bit of an attitude. The bike is no beauty prize, but the specs are not bad at all.

    Test riding the Gocycle G3

    The real fun is that I normally test drive/ride everything by not looking at the manual, which I knew would be tough with the Gocycle. It is such a futuristic e-bike and not just because of its aesthetic design. I knew I was setting myself up for failure by trying to hop on and use it. The...

    Test riding the Gocycle G3

    So far I'll comment on ride comfort and stability. Ride comfort is better than I accepted with a bike that low to the ground. Sometimes these bikes and e-bike can start to wobble. Although I felt I was wobbling at times, it was This is really because I haven't fully adjusted the handlebar and...
