Welcome to the forum! Always happy to see another fellow Iowan join the forum. Enjoy your ebiking adventures on all the wonderful Iowa trails.

I still love my Gen 1 Nyon on my 2017 Gazelle bike. I wonder though how successful you will be in finding an available Gen. 1 Nyon for sale, especially if you also want the control switch/remote.

The High Trestle Trail is on my bucket list. Enjoy!

I am not real good at posting pictures, but I'll do my best. I started out with a T shaped flat repair bar like you can buy at Menards or Home Depot. I cut a couple wood blocks to the right size and thickness to attach to the T bar with 1/2" wood screws. This assembly fits between the plastic...

foofer, your posts and pictures are always worth the look and read. Thanks for sharing all your adventures.

My wife purchased our first e-bike which was a 2017 Blix Aveny, cadence sensing hub drive. I rode it enough to know when I purchased a second e-bike exclusively for me, I wanted a torque sensing mid drive which would have a more natural feeling assist. I selected the Gazelle Arroyo with the...

If you are lucky enough to live in a community that has a local biking/trails advocacy organization, do what you can to support it (contribute, join, volunteer, etc.). I am lucky enough to have such an organization (Linn County Trails Association) in Iowa. It has made tremendous progress the...

Yes, this is important to know in order to advise on how to use the combination of gearing and PAS. A cadence based drive system is a totally different experience than a natural feeling torque based system.

I did that with my Evelo Compass trike. Evelo arranged it with the LBS to accept shipment and do the assembly and setup. I don't know how much Evelo paid the LBS for that service. I have not had to have the etrike serviced yet, so I don't know if the same LBS will be willing to service it.

I was surprised today when I booted up my Gen 1 Nyon (1 GB) it gave me notice that a software update was available. I plugged it in to USB power and it updated from version 1.9.2.0 to 1.10.1.0. Also updated the installed maps for my state. I figured that Bosch probably considered the original...

E-bikes are staying in the Garage today, and batteries in the house A/C. (Captured on my backyard weather startion).

The lights on my Gazelle Arroyo with Gen 1 Nyon turns on automatically in a dark environment (tunnel, garage, night time, etc.), but you can also turn it on manually with the Nyon. I don't know if the light sensor that triggers the automatic on is in the Nyon or in the light itself.

Yellow on black ... it reminds me of the Amdek monochrome CRT monitor on my first IBM PC/XT home computer back in the early 80's!:)

As always Court, thanks for your efforts and for providing this forum. My only disappointment is that you don't personally participate in the forum like you used to. But that said, I understand priorities. Thanks again for your work in resolving the issues in the new version.

I agree and use the AXA cable on my Gazelle Arroyo. I recognize that a determined thief with the right tools can easily defeat this lock. But I think the cafe lock with the cable is about as good of a deterrent as any other unless you go to something extreme. It is easy to use and always available.

I suspect 6zfshdb is correct about the range difference. I selected the EVO because from the documentation, it seemed like the pairing procedure was better on the EVO. I have never used the non-mesh Sena devices though so I can't confirm whether that is in fact true. I can say that our R1-Evo...

Toyota discontinued the Avalon (in the US anyway) with the 2022 model and replaced it with the 2023 Toyota Crown sedan. The Crown is only sold with a hybrid drivetrain. I just bought one (my first Toyota) like the one in the photo below. I've only had it a couple of weeks and like it so far...

The Evelo Compass trike uses cadence sensing for pedal assist so I suspect you would not have liked it. Since it has a mid-drive motor, it is too bad that Evelo didn't incorporate torque sensing into the controller, but it is what it is. My wife has had her Evelo Compass for over 3 years now and...

Hope that mount is solid ... otherwise those saw blades will make short work of the tire!

Welcome to the forum AmyG! My wife has been riding a Evelo Compass etrike on rail trails in Iowa for 3 years. The Compass measures about 31" at the rear axle. Actually the handle bar width is about 26", and with a mirrycle mirror that sticks out another 4 inches from the left hand grip it is...
