    Where to Buy Kiox retrofit kit?

    You could try using Ride with GPS (ridewithgps.com) on your iPhone. This syncs with Apple Health, can record heart rate via an iWatch, plan routes, record and share rides and give turn by turn instructions. Maps on your iPhone are much easier to read than on a Garmin.

    Winter e-biking advices

    I apologize for any offense. I don't know Steve, but I am certain that a few others reading this are not aware of the dangers of riding with a poor fitting helmet. Or just a hat under a helmet. I'll butt out now.

    Dual Battery Homage rattles

    I had similar rattles only when the second battery was aboard. My LBS found that the screws supporting the lower mount were loose; this was obvious when I wiggled the batteries on floor sample Homages. Tightening them was about a half hour job as they are difficult to reach. But, no more...
