My wife and I rode the Root River State Trail yesterday from Lanesboro to Rushford Minnesota. It is in Amish country and not long after beginning our ride there were some buggies parked off the trail. Coincidentally, it was the Minnesota fishing season opener and a number of Amish were fishing...

I have a Cygolite Hypershot 350. Lately, the switch has been difficult to turn on and off. The battery is charges and eventually it will come on, but at the end of a ride, I have difficulty turning it off. I suspect that it may be dirty inside. I have tried using compressed air like used on...

Living in Minnesota, I certainly encounter some weather extremes. Last fall I bought my two wheel drive Rambo Krusader 2.0 to extend my biking season. I have ridden in every month. when there is a particularly icy spell, I will wait until that clears up. I haven't used studded tires, yet.

My wife and I saw an eclectic unicycle in Stillwater(MN) this afternoon.

I was told that there is a firmware update for both the Gazelle Ultimate C380+ and the batteries. I will do some snooping around to determine what the firmware update does and post here, if I find out. It might be the Purion system. https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/service/software-updates

It is a black rubber piece that attaches the bell to the handlebars. Sort of like a thicker rubber band.

The rubber piece that holds it to the handlebars.

I need the attaching ring for a Gazelle bike bell. Can anybody recommend a place that carries Gazelle parts or is this the sort of thing I might find at any local bicycle shop?

For those with tandem e-bikes, what are some good tandem e-bikes? https://www.electricbikeparadise.com/collections/tandem-electric-bikes

I have two e-bikes. My spring/summer/fall bike is a Gazelle Ultimate 380+. My winter bike is a Rambo Krusader 2.0 in 2 wheel drive.

I also have a Rambo Krusader 2.0. I bought it late last year because I wanted the all wheel drive feature. It is very different from our Gazelle bikes in a number of ways. It is chain, not belt drive. It, too, is heavy. Having had the Gazelle e-bikes, I knew somewhat to expect. I has allowed...

No, I bought two Gazelle Ultimate C380+ bicycles in 2022. They are expensive, but I think the old adage applies here, "Buy Once, Cry Once." While it isn't always the case, sometimes you do get what you pay for. One of my other hobbies is amateur radio. Some people in that hobby try to buy the...

I am giving some more thought to getting a bell. The one that was on my Gazelle I removed because I didn't think it was all that useful. Is there a certain aftermarket bell that people on here have really liked?

I took a quick ride last night after work. I saw a pair of eyes looking down on me from a tree near the paved multi-use path and took a quick snapshot. We have had an unseasonably mild winter in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, so I have pretty much ridden all winter on my Rambo Krusader 2.0.

Someone on another forums tipped me to this. Coast, who makes flashlights and headlamps, also makes lighted safety vests. This might be a good choice when riding an e-bike. Is anybody here on EBR currently using a lighted vest? https://coastportland.com/search?q=Vest

I am considering a windshield or fairing for winter riding. What are some that I should look at?

I think one thing to remember with new e-bike riders is to not overwhelm them with too much information right away. That is why I kept my advice pretty simple. As they gain more experience, then may be the right time for more advice, when they are ready for it.

I have never biked to work. My e-bike is for recreation. I am less than 14 miles from my work and it is almost straight north of me. I was only four miles from work at my previous job. I never rode it to work then, either, but I always thought about it...
