Hello Concretefeet: I am glad that you liked the description of my experiences with my ebike, and the few brief specs. Please note that someone else (or was it me? I am not clever with this forum's procedures/protocols) picked up on this initially short thread, and then continued with it under...

Sounds very good, Steve. Thanks for the lead. Great specs, relatively low weight too. However, I will first have to check if I can find a money printing machine on Kijiji, for the $10,300 CAD +13% HST this lovely ebike costs. Or perhaps if I sent a note to Santa Claus ..... Good luck with the...

Yes, it is. But it lacks front suspension. For my bones a deal-breaker.

Merle, I experience the same problem with my albeit sturdy rear carrier/rear light. I have to lean the non-stepthrough ebike over to about 45° from horizontal to get off. Sounds easy, but it's not. McAndy.

Interesting that you are showing this Moustache ebike, Steve. It is actually sold at my local favourite bike store. Yes, I suppose that it is manly enough. It comes from PQ, as does my Opus Orpheo hybrid bike.

Thank you, Al and Steve for your links (at the moment, my possibly ill-advised vanity still prefers non-stepthrough frames)/commments/suggestions! I will digest all that. Steve, I feel for you with the current (pun not intended) 'atmospheric current' devastating your particular area of B.C. Stay...

Hello Steve, and first of all my hat goes off to you for cycling 40,000 km! Hub or mid drive. Now, as sort of indicated earlier, I have a range cocern with the energy available from mid drive bike batteries. I have, lets say, 4 typical ride routes (West, East, South, 2 mostly on trails, resp'ly...

Sorry, please make that 'only 42 km' instead of 'only 34 km'. My slide rule slipped (:-).

I thank you all for your inputs and suggestions. I have read them all carefully. Meanwhile I realized that I should have probably used the word 'effectiveness' instead of 'efficiency' near the beginning of my posts. The conclusion I have now reached (hopefully correct): Given the same applied...

Thank you, AHicks, for that very clear, balanced presentation of the pros and cons of the two options. I didn't realize that thumb/throttle action is frowned upon by a certain percentage of the ebike community. Reminded me that there is a certain percentage of conventional bike riders who...

@ian fisher Ian, I will now attempt to also send the top part of this newer post of mine to you, per kind insructions by a Merle (the lower part you will mostly have had already). Let's see what happens. Bye, McAndy.

Thank you, Merle. No, not a joke, that very long, bracketted address showed up on that incoming post from you as the one to use. But I am beginning to see the error of my ways; me thinks. Bye, McAndy.

Thank you for that clarification, Scona. McAndy.

Thanks for the tip, Merle. But where exactly should I type that '(USER=48489)@McAndy(/USER)'?

Hello Scona, thank you also for your reply. When you mention 'older technology', should I assume hub drive ebikes? So are you suggesting a mid drive ebike, over and above 'being quite different', is the preferable option? Thanks for a reply. Take care, McAndy.

Thank you for your comments, indianajoe. Not sure what you mean by 'dragging the motor'. I will assume friction of the no-longer electrically-contributing mid drive motor. Yes, I often go to Assist 0 and a low gear when, for example, negotiating a gate. I may want to buy another type of ebike if...

Dear members of this forum: I am a newbie to it. I had already received a kind reply to a first new thread (please see further below) from an Ian (in Australia? New Zealand?) in another 'section', but cannot find it now to follow from there. My apologies to said Ian (by the way, Ian, if you come...

My ebike is a 2016 Urban Ryder, possibly designed by, and administered by Green Light Cycle in Burnaby, B.C. (with a very supportive staff), and probably built in Asia. Up to into the Covid-19 pandemic it was also sold by Costco.ca . I bought it spontaneously second-hand at the end of July 2021...
