Thanks! Great idea, will have a look.

The EU had targeted Chinese ebikes as well. But the end result is not going to be magical inexpensive European or American made bikes and ebikes. It will remove the cheap bottom-end option choices. A lot of people who might have afforded a Chinese bike will have no bike. As for bikes...

Climb the steepest hill close to home on both. Cycle into a strong headwind on both. Get miles away from home and then feel your energy ebbing on both. For my wife and I we rented ebikes in Copenhagen and within about two minutes, after we had tried the levels of power assist for a few...

Agreed. All around the world flat cities have more "non-sport" cycling? Ebikes should help cycling become a more realistic daily transportation option in a lot more places with greater elevation changes?

Haibike Urban Plus ... the bike has been discontinued in North America and it looks like they are all gone or close to it ... blown out at a big discount. Really like the small profile of the motor and battery, was willing to forego front fork shocks and put a thudbuster seat post on a hard...

Clearly some people just love the research and exploration. I had a work colleague whose weekend hobby was to go to high rise condominium open houses and compare everything about the buildings, prices, etc., with zero intent of ever moving or buying anything. He was a great resource if you...

Ravi, my dear departed Father used to sometimes ask me, when we were mulling over some decision, “Well, if not now, then when?” Sometimes the answer was to wait and not get caught up in hype or a brand new thing, passing fads, maybe an overheated market, but other times ... life is for living, now.

Sorry. Yeah, so aggravating and disappointing. Invariably fenced/fobbed off for a tiny fraction of its value to you. Cockroaches in human form. Been there - house burgled, car broken into, bikes, ladders, hoses, christmas lights (!) stolen. I was vacuuming the car one day, went into the...

There should be a moment when the new models are arriving when you have a direct election between new features and price, and the old model, hopefully clearout discounted. My gut says the market is still in flux in the sense prices are moving, sales in North America should probably be growing...

As more of a hiker than biker I find the antagonism of some mtb groups to ebikes to be selfishness pure and simple. They have torn up and muddied thousands of trails in NA that were opened up and maintained by hikers, (not talking about technical purpose-made singletracks here, but multi-use...

With you on that too Bob - any consumer purchase I make I don’t really think about resale, except maybe for cars. My assumption today with the pace of battery and electric motor innovation is that technology will render this year’s ebikes obsolete much sooner than this year’s conventional...

I think you are absolutely right about advances coming Marky, but I doubt my budget for a bike will never be anywhere near what those Flyon bikes are priced at in 2019. The old dilemma about any evolving technology, do we buy now or wait for features and price drops? Back in the 1980’s VCR’s...

After grinding through every scrap of info I could find I pulled the trigger on an Urban Plus with Amego. I think the value proposition is extremely good - subject to people finding other awesome deals with particular bikes elsewhere, pricing for this brand and quality is really competitive by...
