No problem! I'd say it's pretty comfortable, I'm 6'2" and i thought it was going to be a touch small for me, but its not bad actually, it has a pretty wide/plush seat which I don't mind so far, but I am considering getting a seat post with a shock in it, that might help has the back half of the...

Hey everyone, I thought I would write a “review” post of sorts, as while I could have missed it, I didn’t find details like this prior to my purchases, hopefully someone finds this useful. First, a little context: I use my ebike for commuting and the odd errand, that’s basically it. They are...

FYI If you're in Canada and looking for a faster ebike, DOST bikes will sell you a un-neutered bike that will go 45km/h if you ask them. They don't have a fat bike option though. I recently discovered this after owning a Cube ebike for a year, I am considering selling it and getting a DOST as I...

Thought I might jump in on this. I am currently trying to decide between the standard Kope and the CVT version, but for different reasons. Briefly, I'm in Canada, and while 28mph (45km/h) ebikes are not technically legal here, I've discovered that Dost (a Canadian company) will ship me one that...

Thanks Dave, good to know, that seems obvious to me now, but for some reason it wasn't 10 months ago, lol. Thanks Scooter. Why do you say that about the Pedego and Rad bikes? Just because you find them cheap and not worth it? That seems to be a common trend from many owners, I read a post the...

I thought I would bump this thread with an update, and a question specifically for Canadian users. Soon after my last post above, I purchased a Cube Kathmandu E500 Touring, and used it for about 1000km of commuting and other short-ish city trips over the good weather months. I enjoyed it...

I took a closer look at a Kathmandu Hybrid One e500. I can confirm there's a mounting point clearly labelled in the battery cavity for a 625 battery, there's more then enough room for it. Supplies are dwindling faster in my area (the Touring Pro I was looking at is now sold out), its a tank of...

@DLevesque this is interesting. I'll have to see if a battery upgrade is possible at my LBS on the touring Pro or the Kathmandu e500.

This is 100% fair, I am definitely a ebike rookie, and I could see myself saying the same thing. I'm just not convinced that I will use a such a high end touring ebike (Kath Pro) beyond commuting that much, but as you pointed out, I could be proven wrong once I actually start using it. I'll go...

Appreciate the thoughts, great info. The main thing holding me back from a Kathmandu Pro is the price. Sure the bigger battery, the better motor, and the better display are great, but its basically $1k CDN more than the the Touring Pro. The Kathmandu e500 is only about $200 more then then...

I posted a "what bike should I buy" question in another forum a few weeks back, but I think I have it whittled down to 3 Cube bikes: Cube Touring Pro e500 Cube Kathmandu One e500 Cube Kathmandu Pro 625 Basically i'd like to know if theres's any reason to choose the Kathmandu(s) and their CX...

I actually realized that 95% of my commute route would be on protected bike paths mostly on quiet residential streets, mainly thanks to a new bike grid expansion that covers almost 50 blocks in the direction and area I need to go. I appreciate the concern, but im not going on any main commercial...

I wasn't aware you can get a cover for the battery cavity, thanks. Any ideas on where to look? I found a "battery cover" on the Trek site but that doesn't appear to be the same thing. Right, I should specify, the weight capacity of the pannier is less of concern as I am unlikely to carry that...

Good catch, thanks. Not sure its worth a look. I had a quick test ride with an Allant+ 7 today. That CX motor is nice and the battery removal system is as advertised, however it was pointed out to me if its locked outside while at work and the battery is in the office charging, the exposed...

@new2ebike_eh Thanks yeah, I wasn't sure to make of this. Here's the listing: https://www.argyllmotorsports.com/New-Inventory-2021-Bulls-eBikes-Bicycle-CROSS-LITE-EVO-Diamond-Argyll-Motorsports-7039631?ref=list Its not a place i would have guessed even sold ebikes, randomly stumbled upon it...

Thanks for the responses so far, useful info. Yes I am partial to Trek and I want to try and test ride an Allant+7 soon, however is it worth the premium over the Cube? I'll do some more digging. Yeah no class 3 bikes are (easily) available in Canada as far as I know. Thanks for the Giant...

Sorry i posted this in the "ask anything" area, but it might be better here... https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/help-a-ebike-newbie-aka-what-bike-should-i-get.41457/

Hello all, I hope you can grace a ebike newbie with some knowledge. I stumbled across EBR as my quest for ebike knowledge expands, and this seems like the right place to ask. I’m sure you’ve had tonnes of “what bike should I buy?” questions posted on this form, but after doing a search I...
