    Changing side panels on EnergyPak 400 & 500

    I just bought a brand new 500Wh battery and fairly easily moved the side battery covers from the old battery to the new one. The wrench at the LBS told me to just pry the covers off the old one with a screwdriver and snap them onto the new one. When I tried it seemed difficult at first then I...

    Bosch motor won't power up

    This thread would have been very helpful today. Leigh and Saratoga Dave mentioned the Intuvia display becoming unresponsive and not "shifting" into ECO or above and staying there. Well, this morning my wife had the same issue while riding her Bosch-powered e-bike (Felt Verza E-10 with NuVinci...

    Step-thru frame with Shimano Steps Di2 Auto-Shift?

    DECISION MADE and BIKE PURCHASED! (Thanks, Mark P. and others.) My wife tried the Felt Verza E-10 and it was love at first sight. The full step-thru frame and the Bosch Performance motor were right on the mark, but the "automatic" shifting was the icing on the cake. We bought the bike and she...

    OK, after a month's absence and several test rides, we are narrowing down the bike search for my wife. Here's some of the observations and conclusions to date: 1. After testing several different frame styles from several different manufacturers, the FULL step-thru frame is a strong favorite...

    Step-thru frame with Shimano Steps Di2 Auto-Shift?

    Thanks, Scrambler...I had not realized the R&M Nevo USA models did not have auto-shift. Fortunately, as it turns out, We're Canadian snowbirds who spend approx. six months of the year in Canada and the other six months in Arizona. We're in Canada right now and the Canadian model definitely has...

    Step-thru frame with Shimano Steps Di2 Auto-Shift?

    Many thanks for all your suggestions: JayVee - Thanks for the Wallerang suggestion, it looks like a good bike, and I've found a dealer and scheduled a test ride. Scrambler - Thanks for the NuVinci CVT suggestion. I had not thought of that, but it looks good. I am familiar with Felt as my wife...

    Step-thru frame with Shimano Steps Di2 Auto-Shift?

    My wife and I are both in our mid-70's and have been active road bike riders. Due to some medical issues, we're looking for a new e-bike for my wife, and price is less important than function/features. I've done a lot of shopping around (both real and virtual) but I'm having trouble finding...
