    Good Luck with your bike. I almost bought that same model.

    How to purchase: LBS or Online?

    I've had my Izip for awhile (2500 miles). I love, love, love it!! Here's my experience. I hope it helps: If you've going to load the bike on a rack, get a mid drive izip. I load my Peak without the battery, no problem, as it is light or lighter than a regular bike. All Emotions are great bikes...

    Haibike AllMtn Plus vs FullSeven RX

    Wow @Bicyclista, it looks like you did your homework. If you're like me, you've probably already started talking yourself into the AllMtn Plus. At the risk of introducing just a twinge of cognitive dissonance, may I humbly make a bold suggestion? Check out the Izip E3 Peak DS. I know, I know...

    Fullseven XDURO S Pro 2016

    Well, I now have an official 500 big ones on my 'new' Fullseven S RX. I did some off-roading today and had an epiphany: @2wheel is totally correct. If you're buying a Haibike exclusively for off-roading, go with the higher torque. I realized that going off-road is fun, but it is not my...

    Haibike AllMtn Plus vs FullSeven RX

    Well I just got my Fullseven S RX (Yes, 'S') Speed pedalec. I've already got over 500 miles on it in less than a month. I briefly tried the Yamaha, so I'm not sure if I can give you an accurate comparison. I can, however, tell you that I had the Transx mid drive system and absolutely loved it...

    I need a spare battery

    Actually, Ravi from Lenny's gave me such a good deal on a 400w that it was worth buying it now, considering all the extra fun I'm having. I went from riding 30 miles a day w/ one charge in between to riding 70 miles straight through. . . well worth it. Thanks Ravi.

    Rad Rover

    Great feedback. I loved what you wrote so much that I actually thought about buying an EVO Snow from Lenny, since he had a couple "Smoke Damaged" ones left. I went down to the Emotion dealer and tried out an EVO 29er. Very impressive. Unfortunately, Lenny's sale prices only apply to local...

    Thanks so much. Great advice. Thanks for sharing on the name thing. I thought I was the only one that did that. I feel so much better.

    Rad Rover

    This is a great question. The gentleman that purchased the bike from me asked me the same thing. I am sure there is a software override for the bike. The Rad Rover guys are great, and I'm sure they would know the answer. I am getting my new Izip E3 Sumo from Ravi tomorrow. It took me forever to...

    Rad Rover

    I owned a Rad Rover Fat tire. Great bike. I am 5'5". I had no problem. The bike is super heavy but reliable. I sold mine to go for the Sumo, which is on its way. I actually liked the Rad Rover better than my Trail Tracker. The front shocks really do help. I highly recommend the bike. It's a hub...

    Great suggestion, Chris. I can personally vouch for Chris Nolte, as I have purchased bikes from him and he has excellent advice and really great customer service. Along the lines of Chris' suggestion, I would offer that you consider the Haibike Superrace or Haibike Race bikes. Both are very...

    Fullseven XDURO S Pro 2016

    Thank you for your input. Indeed I can see where the torque would come in handy. I do commute with mine; albeit a small portion is off road, and I didn't think a speed commuter could handle it. Although I have tested some worthy urban rides. I did try out many of the Bulls models with the Brose...

    Need Help Getting Started

    @MLB had some great suggestions. A cargo bike is a great all around work horse. Have you checked out Mike and Bixby? Mike and Bixby travel all around the country on their Yuba Spicy Currie bike. Mike is the human and Bixby is the dog. Mike puts Bixby (a medium size dog) on the cargo bed of the...

    Keep us updated on your decision. You'll be hard pressed to find an e-bike you can carry up stairs and one that hauls groceries. But there has been some awesome developments in electric bikes. Even the folding bikes are pretty heavy, relatively speaking. They are making some carbon fiber...

    I have owned seven e-bikes, so I hope I can provide you with some great experience lessons, so that you can make an informed decision. It sounds like you would do well with a light Cargo bike. Here are some things I would humbly suggest you avoid: First, if you want even minimal health/exercise...

    Fullseven XDURO S Pro 2016

    I am the proud owner of a Fullseven S (yes, "S") RX. I tested the CX on a Bulls Monster, and I agree, there is more torque. I seriously thought about buying a CX and doing the governor override, "tuning". I just didn't want to risk the potential voided warranty issues. It was a tough decision. I...

    Trace EXC First 300 miles - initial thoughts

    I have a Diamondback Overdrive Exec. Got the Performance deal. Unfortunately, the "Spin Doctors" at Performance won't work on it, as they "don't fix electric bikes." I also noticed that they parted ways with all but one Ebike company. Too bad. I really liked going to Performance Bikes, but I...
