    My FIRST 20 Mile Ride

    How Hot Should The Rear Hub/Motor Get?

    On another note I had emailed John the owner of the Pedego Shop In neighboring Carlsbad ( I live in Inland Oceanside at the back gate of USMC Base Camp Pendleton) and explained that I was sorry to have not waited to afford my Pedego and was literally seduced by this DiamondBack and the price. I...

    My Diamondback Lindau EXC we just bought for only $1350.00 is the new love of my life:-) Being badly disabled, this is the FIRST smile on my face in 15 months since I survived 4 major surgeries in a 5 month nightmare back then. Today is just the third time I have been able to ride it. I replaced...

    Diamondback selling off their ebikes

    Well I just came home an hour ago with my new Diamondback Lindau EXC for just $1350.00 plus tax from Performance Bike but what a PAIN. The guy at the finance counter took over an HOUR to figure out how to ring up the sale. Then we get home and the bike has FLAT tires, filthy, and obviously not...
