    C-Class help - short people?

    N95 mask should work, but I've stopped biking as the average for the last week in Salem, Oregon of 406 AQI is just too much.

    Jude, I finally got down to two lights on battery level and charged up battery. So put on 46.1 miles in the two weeks since the last charge using mostly PAS 1 and auto on mostly flat ground. So by my rough calculation about 15 miles per battery light for me which means 75 miles to empty, or at...

    I usually keep the mesh one on my non electric, but it is easy to take off and put on my LaFree when needed.

    2021 LAFREE E+

    I love my blue 2020, but I really like that Stendhal theme color one (Le Rouge et le Noir)!

    Lafree questions

    I use a ulock and my old mesh lock which I've had for 20 years and is about 4 feet long so that I can lock both wheels with the mesh and use the ulock to secure the frame and mesh lock. I try to not leave any bike unattended very long.

    Lafree questions

    Jude, 1. Is the e+1 just a superior version of the e+2? Is there anything superior on the e+2? The e+1 has the belt drive and lights, but otherwise it is the same bike. The LaFree has replaced my belt drive non electric bike (Trek Soho Deluxe). The reason why I liked the belt drive was that...

    Lighting

    I got a Giant LaFree that doesn't come with lights. As the days get shorter I will need to add them. I find now that I am older I need more lighting and my old 200 lumens don't provide enough. I don't need them to be wired in, but would like them rechargeable and at a reasonable cost since I...

    LaFree Ebike

    LaFree at 3 months I bought my LaFree E+ 2 on May 16th and since then have ridden it most every day. After a couple of weeks of mentally trying to keep track of how many miles I was riding, I decided to take my bike computer off my non electric bike and put it on the LaFree. At the time I had...

    New M-class owner with a problem

    Glad you got a bike you liked and got your money for the M Classes. I've hardly driven my car since I got my ebike, and my wife thinks I'm getting too skinny.

    New M-class owner with a problem

    Sorry about your problems, I was thinking about getting an M-class, but decided against since I could not try it out. You might want to check out Cynergy in Portland at 3838 SE Powell as they have a variety of ebikes. I ended up getting my ebike there, a Giant LaFree E+2. They have rentals that...

    1st Time Buyer with Wish List

    The LaFree has multiple sensors and an auto mode assist as well. Most mid-motors from the big three brands start around $2500. The LaFree also has a belt drive internal geared hub for another $400. You can get mid-motors for less from Ariel Rider for example, but usually you would have to...

    1st Time Buyer with Wish List

    Giant LaFree at $2000 sounds like you would like it. It doesn't have everything on your wish list, but I found I love riding it and it is lightweight and easy to ride with no assist. I quite often just use the lower assist levels and it rides more like a bike than a motorcycle...

    C-Class help - short people?

    There seems to be some problems with Ariel Rider Customer Service, you might want to check some of the comments here on the forum for the M-class. I did try out the Aventon Pace 500 and it was my 2nd choice, I went with the Giant LaFree E2, but it costs a little bit more.

    Lighting for LaFree

    The light off my old non electric bike isn't good enough for me any more, well it is 20 years old and I don't see as well in the dark as I use to. Any suggestions? I would prefer not to have it connected to the bike's battery. I wasn't concerned until I had to go out twice in the last week at night.

    New Review Desired

    If you look at the Ariel Rider forum, several have noted problems with the IGH due to the Dapu motor providing more torque than the IGH can handle, and that customer service isn't always the best at addressing issue. Late last year someone else asked about reviewing the new C Class, but EBR...

    LaFree Ebike

    Now that I've been riding for three weeks, I usually just leave it in PAS 1 as most of my riding is on city streets that are mostly flat. When I do need extra I just press the minus button twice and have it go to auto. I find even for some smaller hills I don't really need to do anything other...

    Misleading Motor Information

    I test rode an Aventon Pace 500 up a 15% grade with no problem. I was stopped at a light at the bottom and the intersection was pretty flat but it started climbing almost right after I cleared the intersection. I had it on the highest assist level and it was in a low gear at the light, I think...
