    Sport model by Espin discontinued

    People with reduced mobility find a step-through easier to use. The downside is frame flex, which can be considerable on rough surfaces going 15 mph and faster. I would not want less rigidity than my sport provides.

    The largest front gear I've found is 52 teeth. That would give a 15.5% pedaling speed reduction, but I do not know if it'd fit the Espin Sport. Look here: https://www.amazon.com/Crankset-Aluminum-Chaingard-Folding-Bicycles/dp/B00L3K564G

    Going to 11 teeth would produce about an 8% reduction in top gear pedaling rate, which should be a noticeable but not huge difference. I don't know if there are 8-speed gear setups with fewer than 11 teeth, so any more pedaling speed reduction may require a larger crank gear.

    Either fewer teeth on the smallest gear at the rear or more teeth on the gear at the pedals should do the trick w/o affecting the controller.

    If you come up with a useful replacement, let us know. I'd like longer top gearing for higher speeds. I find that high speed pedaling reduces my control of the bike.

    Got the Sport and the Flow. The Pros and Cons.

    I cannot vouch for longevity, but there is very little about the Espin Sport that needs improvement from my experience - better tires, pedals, perhaps.

    I've had no problems with spokes, but I weigh a hundred pounds less than you . Perhaps Espin's specced capacity [275#] is inflated. Have you contacted the company?

    I'd talk with espin before using a different charger. Mine gets warm, but not enough to concern me.

    Have you found that the sport pedals do not spin freely? I am considering replacing mine.

    Perhaps cruiser handlebars like on the flow would suit your riding style better.

    The espin manual says the battery works best when charged often. "It is always a good idea to charge the battery," it reads.
