    Damn Shame About Faraday

    and like too many ebikes they got all kinds of unwarranted and unchecked good press from the consumer product and tech magazines/ezines who fell for the marketing and pr bling, helping to feed this product to consumers who ended up wanting it to do more than it was designed to do. I have said...

    Damn Shame About Faraday

    No, as far as I know. Europe has a lot of stuff we don't.

    Damn Shame About Faraday

    Why would you risk getting in with a system with no real dealer presence? What kind of support are you going to get on a product you can only buy online? The vast majority of bikes shops and even ebike shops aren't going to touch these products if you have an issue with them. Why not go with...

    Damn Shame About Faraday

    I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. We had them in the store for about a year and didn't sell even one and so returned them. One day a Faraday owner came in to charge his bike half way through his commute, since range was so poor, and ended up buying a Felt and selling the Faraday...

    Adventure Ebiking - Death Valley

    Hi Bob- that was the ride we did 2 years and yes. It's a Cross 4.0. I haven't picked a bike for this year's ride just yet, but I am again considering a Cross from Haibike, Cube or one of our other brands. The Haibike Sduro worked flawlessly and performed well in the desert and in the sand. DV...

    Where can I buy a Cube SUV Hybrid SL 27.5 in the US?

    Hi TIm, They might, but Bosch, Yamaha and Shimano are superior in my opinion. Joe

    Where can I buy a Cube SUV Hybrid SL 27.5 in the US?

    Hi Tim, If you are considering a Cube, we just launched a big sale on 2018 models. Great Bosch systems with Fox or Rockshox suspension at great prices while supplies last. I don't think there is a "best full suspension ebike". There's lots of excellent products right now so it's a matter of...

    Welcome to Disability and Ebiking

    I'd say most of the ebikes I sell are sold to people with some form of disability or another, to be honest. As an ebike dealer I work with riders with disabilities regularly and it's both challenging and rewarding to do so. Some are long term. Others short term due to an accident or sickness...

    Great Ebike Lights Resource

    The Supernova lights are the most popular that we sell and install but the Light and Motion Nip & Tuc systems (http://www.motostrano.com/E-Bike-Lights-s/3650.htm) are a good alternative, a little less expensive and also flash, which is a rare find when it comes to ebike lights. But for pure...

    Regarding "Pesu". have you ridden it? Can you ride it? If it's a kickstarter project as it seems, Id be highly suspect unless you are into experimenting. If what you want to do is go and ride a reliable ebike, then get something that is in production and carried by e-bike stores (not just online...

    None of the Haibikes will have a throttle and you won't want one when you have a good e-bike with a solid mid-drive motor like the Bosch or Yamaha. Speaking of deals, make sure you check out our deals page and our sale going on right now on Haibikes Http://www.motostrano.com Most of the...
