I figured something like that had happened. Thanks for the update.

Their website is still up and running, but I was one of the backers and have not heard anything for years. Anyone else get a unit they pre-ordered recently? https://onemotor.co/home

I would not give any credence to any of their shipping predictions or promises at this point.

I have no idea when this will really happen, but given the past history, I would not hold my breath. I have a sense that they will finally carry through with their promise for backers, but it sure is taking a long time.

Most of us know this already, but here is a study showing that ebiking is good for you: https://cleantechnica.com/2018/12/06/major-study-shows-electric-bikes-good-for-health/ From the study: There was moderate evidence that e-cycling provided physical activity of at least moderate intensity...

Van Moof is offering a subscription where you can rent an ebike for $298 down and then $19 a month. It would seem to lower the cost of entry for a lot of people, and might even make sense if you are moving somewhere for just a short while, but do not want to take your bike with you, as you can...

I think one of the benefits of PAS is that you do not need to think about the system, it just works in the background and makes you feel like you are much fitter than you really are :) In contrast, the throttle requires you to always consider whether to use it or not. Nowadays, I mostly use...

Tailwind runs continously...so it would be helping on any uphill that you can still keep up a speed of 8mph or more. There are definitely multiple levels of assist in both tailwind and PAS. Tailwind would work great on headwinds, again unless you were slowed down to a crawl (under 8mph), in...
