haha - as magnanimous as it may sound, I do have an ulterior (and somewhat selfish) motive. Even in a city with lots of cool stuff to see, it can sometimes be a little repetitive having frequent guests. We show people around, but for us after awhile it can be a little boring. For example, the...

I think being able to have both feet down at stops is good. So yes, either a low or mid step would be best for guest versatility. Since we don't have throttles and we would be doing rides with them, I'm inclined to stick with true pedal assist for guest bikes just for the sake of consistency...

Theft is always a concern with any bikes, including traditional bikes. Even crappy, rusty, ugly bikes can and do get stolen. Thieves suck! Precautions such as locks and alarms are a deterrent, but are still never a guarantee. Employing a watchful eye, such as choosing outdoor seating for...

Hi all. OK, I live downtown in a very bike-friendly medium-sized city. We have houseguests on a frequent basis, many of whom visit for several days. There is lots to see around here, and some great trails including a longer paved riverfront trail that winds through a several parks, museums...

Hi - I have done some multi-day and long loaded bike tours, all self-powered. Getting older and losing power up those hills, so I got an Orbea Gain to dip my toe into the eBike world. It's great, works as it should and is relatively comfortable for longer day rides. I would like to do some...

Love my Gain, and plan to take it on some longer adventures. I like keeping the down tube and seat tube mounts for hydration. I would like to mount (or carry) the Range Extender elsewhere, and I'm open to ideas. Not a ton of mounting eyelets on this bike. But even if I had more mounting...

Thanks for the advice Stefan, it's much appreciated - I have come to rely on the collective experience found on forums like this. I have ridden MTB's on borrowed bikes over the years and have really enjoyed it, but the steeper stuff was very difficult for me. I have a minor heart condition...

Not a total newbie to the e-bike world, but new to the forum. Just wanted to say a quick hello. Here's abridged cycling life story, and how it eventually brought me to an e-bike...if you are interested. Kid chapter. Loved bikes from that moment in 1963 when my dad who was running behind me...
