Commuting. I could drive but weirdly, the older I get, the less I want the responsibility of driving and the bike trails are very convenient. Also, I use a trailer for my dog and he and I go everyone together on it. I would not generate the power anymore to do either and the bike has made...

Hey, my bike did that as well and I totally couldn't place the sound. It turned out to be the seat post was above the safety line. I learned that the seat post really needs to extend into the bike a certain length or you are stressing the frame and causing creaking. New, longer post and I was...

I have a Felt Niner e with a Bosch drive. I've had it almost 3 years now and have 7000 miles on it with no problem at all with the edrive and only regular maintenance on the bike. Probably 2500 of that is single track / pulling a trailer and a lot of the rest is commuting and errors in town...

I pull a trailer often. 30ish pounds of gear and a 45 pound dog who rides on it when we go fast down hills. Going slow (below 10 miles per hour) I can easily get 60 miles of never flat, up and down riding on rough forest roads. I don't have a full suspension bike but a Felt Niner with front...

Yea, I don't get it to be honest. I have had both mid and hub drives and neither have had issues with the drive train or the hub. The controller for the hub drive kept failing but not the hub. I now have 7000 miles on my mid drive (Felt Niner with Bosch drive system) and a LOT of that is towing...

I have a Felt NinerE which is essentially a mountain bike with a 36 v Bosh system. I commonly get 35 miles on a half charge and for the most part, could get 50 miles on a battery. I typically recharge once I hit 50% of the battery being used up. The route to and from work has 500ish feet of...

Range difference for me had less to do with the hub placement and more to do with throttle vs pedal assist. With my hub system, the thumb drive was either on or off - no variation (it was a Clean Republic system). That's fine in town when commuting and frankly, you just want to get somewhere...

Oh yea, and having two carts: one with one wheel and one with two, I find it is easier to tow the single wheel. Less drag, it follows so well, etc. The pup prefers his in town cart better cause he can literally lounge in it and with two wheels it is much more stable stopping and starting which...

I get the 65 miles on the two together pretty easily. Granted, I'm moving slow and when climbing, the pup hops out and does his snuffling around and on down hills, he hops in and we fly as fast as the terrain will allow. Very different riding then if I'm in town and simply want to get to work or...

I tow a lot. I have a Felt NinerE which is a mid drive and I use it for bike packing all the time with a trailer and a pup whose about 45 lbs. I have two batteries and can get 65+ miles out of them in the day with a fully loaded kit and a lot of hills (I'm in NM and nothing is flat). For in...

I've got a Felt Ninere with a mid drive motor which not has almost 5,000 miles on it. Not an issue with the motor of any kind at all. More then half the miles are off road - rough travel - pulling a trailer. The controller doesn't shift up and down as cleanly anymore and I haven't been brave...

Awesome. Thanks for the info. It hasn't been to bad so I haven't messed with it yet. I find that I don't adjust it as much which is a bummer but ok when all I'm doing is riding to work and back. Come summer though, I'll either have to get brave and try opening it up or pop for the new...

I love my 1up rack. I have the one for two bikes but most of the time have my Felt Ninere on it with the single wheel cart on the other bike space. It is fast and easy to load, the bike and cart are very secure and easy to lock. I've driven all over the US with the bike rack on the back and it...

Oh my, thank you so much and I'm so sorry you broke your cover. Yes, I agree, it seems poorly thought through and natural that it would get some dust in there. The suggestion to blow it out is a very good one. I'll try that and see if it helps. I'm really glad you were able to glue yours back...

Well, technology can have loose connections and I'd like to hope you just got one like that. I've had mine for over 4000 miles of riding - bike has been dropped and crashed quite a bit - 1500 of those miles were bike packing over very rough roads and hauling a trailer and have had no issues. So...

Yes, I agree, it is probably something as easy as dirt in there (I live in a desert). I don't know where the retaining clips are - can you explain how I'd remove them and get them back on?

I agree with Chris as I don't think it is broken, probably just not connecting. First time it happened to me, it took a bit to figure it out. Try sliding it further down into the lock and see if it works. I now recognize when mine is off because it shuts down really fast. Like it is trying to...

Thanks. Well, I don't think it is the display because the assist literally doesn't come on so the assist support matches what the controller says is happening. I'm pretty sure it is in the thumb switch. Now, it has an added new thing where when I try and step down on support, it can go up...

Agreed with everyone above. Belongs on the road and should be street legal because it is a motorcycle not a bike.

I love my system and have over 4000 miles on it. I've not had a serious problem with it yet. I am though starting to notice that the controller to turn the system on and off is not as responsive as it used to be. Sometimes I have to hit it 2 or 3 times and then instead of going to the first...
