    Hi all, need a bit of help choosing an electric bike in the $1,000 to $1,300 range for...

    I don't know enough about either bike to give a good recommendation on either. You would be better served by other community members with much more knowledge than I in regards to those two bikes.

    Greetings from Washington

    I don't believe this was here when I first started posting. I've mostly been lurking since I first started posting back in June (?). I live in Washington and I'm an avid, but slightly out of shape, bicycle enthusiast. I've had several failed attempts to use my bicycle as permanent...

    Hello from Seattle!!! Any E-bike riders in the emerald city?

    Howdy! I'm not in Seattle, but I'm a bit north. One of the members here has a Seattle electric bike club going, I'll let him know to hit you up.

    Easy Motion Xenion Line

    Since I haven't seen a lot of threads regarding BH's Xenion bikes, I thought I'd ask to see what everyone's general opinion is regarding this particular line of e-bikes? Any general opinion will do (good/bad/meh). Recently bought a Xenion Cross at a great price, so I'm pretty excited to see...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    Sorry for the late response. At the price point of the RideKick with the LiFePO4 battery, I think it starts to make more sense to possibly look into complete e-bikes. I get the need for a higher capacity battery and the RideKick if: - You have a trike that you wish to add an electric assist...

    lights on bikes

    Well it looks like my post on this thread was deleted, and no reason was given to me. Regardless, if you google Noxgear you will run across vests that were originally designed with runners in mind. The vest they sell lights up and make you very visible. I have been using mine for almost 2...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    Last week I was able to put in 50 miles on my RideKick. Over all I do like the device, but I feel there are some drawbacks. Pros: - Price, I know there are some kits out there that are cheaper, but I still think the price of the unit with a SLA battery is still hard to beat. This is also...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    I can't really give you a good breakdown on speed, since I don't have a bike computer installed. Previously I didn't see the need, since I personally didn't care how slow/fast I was pedaling. I can look at my Google Fit app a little later when I have a chance to review my history, but I don't...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    First trip to work went really smoothly. I only used my Ridekick in bursts to keep my speed up and to help me move faster through intersections and stop signs (after properly coming to a full stop, of course). I was able to shave about 5-6 minutes off of my short commute, and the battery was...

    I need e-bike suggestions

    I did but I haven't had much time with it yet. I have a few gripes so far, but they're minor. I've only been able to use my Ridekick for a few miles so far, I had last minute family issues come up the day before I received my unit. I should get in 50 miles on my unit next week and I plan to...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    Off to a rough start. Ridekick arrived today but the unit wouldn't turn on. I made sure to follow all instructions, confirm the battery was properly plugged along with a fully charged battery. I'll have to see what they say tomorrow, and how swiftly they're able to support me with my problem...

    Looks like Ridekick is back in production

    Today I received the following message in my email inbox. "Hello Ridekick Fans, Thank you for your patience as we take care of the final few steps to get Ridekick trailers on their way to you. We have appreciated the enthusiastic questions about when your order will arrive...." In an earlier...

    Nice pic. I love the water fowl silhouettes.

    I need e-bike suggestions

    I'd love to take a few ebikes with different setups out for a test spin, but where I live that's quite difficult. The LBS in my area only sells iZip and Raleigh as far as ebikes go, and they only had a few 2015 models in stock. If the Ridekick doesn't work out it will come down to a kit or a...

    Thanks for the correction. ;)

    I need e-bike suggestions

    Just for the record, I actually do ride for fun. A 20+ mile bike ride is not uncommon for me when I'm able to afford the free time, and 30+ miles if its mostly flat. I've had an interest in ebikes for a while now, but its easier to explain the expense to the wife when I'm using it as a source...

    I need e-bike suggestions

    So, yesterday I went over to my LBS to test drive the two iZip bikes they had on sale, and to pick their brain on converting my current bike. I also wanted to get a general feel regarding how the mid drive handled vs. a rear hub. I completely understand this can drastically change from bike to...
