Ebikes are only cheating in the context of a theoretical competition where your ebike would give you an unfair advantage others don't have. However, most of the biking you do on an ebike wouldn't be in any sort of competition. It would be for fun or for commuting or for errands. And even in a...

Hi, so it's been awhile and I wanted to mention that a month or so ago I just passed 1000 miles on my EVO City. Lots of mostly short trips rather than long ones. So, I've had it a little over a year and had two spokes snap, several wheel-truings needed, the headlight mount break, and the...

Wow. Okay, two things. 1. It is not the job of ANY other cyclists to enforce the rules on public bike trails. That's the job of the police and they are free to call the cops if they want to. However, your ebike is legally not a motorized vehicle because it doesn't go higher than 20mph, so...

Well, I was used to riding a standard, non-ebike mountain bike before. And a regular 24-speed Schwinn. Nothing fancy or super-light. Probably a bit clunky, actually. But it was what I had, so I didn't notice. I'm also used to using all my gears and (without a motor) I never expected to make...

Ebikes are still a pretty new thing, only really starting to catch on now that batteries are small enough to be practical. Most cyclists aren't familiar with them at all. So, when they say no electric bikes, it's likely they're actually referring to older electric scooter or mo-ped type...

I have and Easy Motion EVO City, but my parents have Pedegos. (Interceptors, I think.) They're pretty happy with them and they have step-thru frames in all sizes. Differences I've noted: 1. Pedego is a cadence-sensing pedal assist and Easy Motion is a torque-sensing pedal assist. 2...

I'm 5'9", just under 200 lbs, and I have an EVO City. Which is the larger size to the Street. I haven't had any trouble with it, load-wise so far. Even when I sit my 40 lb daughter on the cargo rack or bring home groceries in the rear panniers I added. The only trouble I have is getting my...

I have an EVO City and I weigh nearly 200 pounds. (Lighter people will undoubtedly have better results.) Throttle-only on a fairly flat stretch I can get to just under 20mph. 19-point-something. But that sucks the power down fast. On the top level or two of pedal assist pushing hard, I can...

I have an official explanation of the Ah setting. See, I was trying to fix an incorrectly set wheel size (which will cause your mileage and speed to be off). Well, in the course of that, I accidentally changed the Ah setting and I was like, uh-oh, is this important? So, I emailed BH and asked...

It's a 45 minute trip to get to the dealer. So, so long as it's working well enough, I'm not taking it back for an adjustment. :)

I went from a full charge to 10% over a week or two of light use and traveled 26 miles mostly at the second level of pedal assist. No significant unpowered time unless you count when I was just not pedaling down a hill. Perhaps this is a more typical range for the bike than my conservative...

Usually I keep the assist at the first or second bar. I've never let it run all the way out of power yet, so I'm not sure of its absolute range using it that way. When going on a long trip, I intentionally start out mostly unpowered just to make sure I have enough power for the whole trip...

Also, there's a review up for this bike now, if anyone's interested. http://electricbikereview.com/easy-motion/evo-city/

Glad to hear it! :)

One of the things I love about this bike is that it can be used unpowered very well, despite it's weight. I prefer, of course, to use it powered, but if I'm trying to extend the range or if I'm out of juice or if something goes wrong with the motor, I can easily use it unpowered just like a...

My display looks a little different than the one pictured above, but it does have the same battery indicator in the bottom left as shown. It read 39% and the trip odometer reports 35 miles. I started the trip mostly unpowered with just using the throttle for the hills and to get across...

Rode 35 miles today on trails with the hubby and no kiddies. Went from a full charge down to 39%. I thought that was pretty good. :) (That's with the EVO City.)

I'm 5'9" and the medium frame bikes are always too small for me. I got the City rather than the Street or City Wave because of this. I prefer the step-through frame, but not enough to put up with the wrong-sized frame. Good luck on your size choice. I hope you guessed right because a...

Somewhere halfway down the first page of the following thread, a spare battery rack for some model of the EVO is mentioned and pictured. Hope it helps. It was posted by Crazy Lenny Ebikes. You might be interested to see that.

Well, I'm also following kids around, so my unpowered pace is slow and easy. So, that helps. :)
