    Setting Up a Pedego Ridge Rider for 6'1" Male

    If I plan on a ride longer than 50 miles I put my spare battery in my Arkel XM-28 Pannier (Or I ride my Trek):-).

    Setting Up a Pedego Ridge Rider for 6'1" Male

    The rack is bolted in to place and nicely reinforced making the rack's limit good up to 50 Kg. (110 lbs.), although on the Ridge Rider around 80 lbs. is about as high as you'd want to go. The rack is made by Axiom, to get this specific model, you would need to contact Pedego Tech Support, they...

    Do I really need motor cut brake levers?

    Motor cut outs are not strictly a user decision. Some states coast to coast have laws requiring motor cut outs when the brakes are activated. Georgia law for example states, "The electric bike may not exceed 20mph and must disengage the engine when the brakes are applied." In California...

    24 Mile Loop Pedego Ridge Riders 11.6 ah and 14 ah

    Wow. Sorry about that. I just posted an extensive but amateur Ridge Rider review on the Pedego forum of this site. I am approaching 300 miles, all is going well.

    Amateur Ridge rider Report

    Amateur RIDGE RIDER ON THE RIDGE REPORT: Approaching 300 miles overall. I have finally had my Ridge Rider in the mountains for the last two days instead of on the road. Whilst my battery recharges again, I'll make these general observations while saying my overall satisfaction at this price...

    Do I really need motor cut brake levers?

    Absolutely, especially in mid-motor configuration.

    Wow. Trek Just Ups Their E-Bike Game With 5 New Models.

    I ride a Pedego Ridge Rider and on torque sensored power assist level 2 (of 6 total), I get 45 to 52 miles on a 14 ah battery generally maintaining a speed of 19 mph without too much work. That really is all I have ever needed; however, if Pedego made another optional battery in the 20 ah range...

    Wow. Trek Just Ups Their E-Bike Game With 5 New Models.

    Bosch, the Stuttgart, Germany company may be focusing on the European market where the e-bike market is massively larger than the American market. In Europe the middling battery on the Trek bikes would be adequate as motors generally can not exceed 250 watts and therefore don't need a monster...

    Wow. Trek Just Ups Their E-Bike Game With 5 New Models.

    And it is nice to see an e-bike manufacturer offering multiple sizes for it's models. Be interesting to see Court's reviews!

    Hub motor based e-bikes and Gear cassettes

    My Pedego Ridge Rider is 10 in the rear and two at the crank for twenty gears. My Trek traditional Domane SL 6 is 50/34 at the crank and an 11 speed cassette.

    Glad that resolved. The Ridge Rider is a great bike.

    First ride report

    Congratulations. Really one of the most visually stunning ebikes on the market and looks like a bike (as opposed to tilting towards looking like a moped from the future like some of a certain Swedish company's excellent offerings). Love the suspension. Since you mentioned range please let us...

    24 Mile Loop Pedego Ridge Riders 11.6 ah and 14 ah

    I won't be on the bike until Tuesday. But I can tell you I'll get power in a high gear in 2 or 3 at that speed because I ride there frequently. One thing to watch is the power doesn't come immediately, there can be a delay, then you can hear and feel it kick in.

    24 Mile Loop Pedego Ridge Riders 11.6 ah and 14 ah

    Yeah, that doesn't sound right. I've not had a problem getting the power to kick in at any level, and it comes on relatively quickly in 1-4. The harder you pedal in 1-4 the more power you should be getting. I've ridden two Ridge Riders for pretty good distances and they both operated exactly...

    Discovered EBikes in 2016. Wow!

    Yes! Nancy is my SO to say the least - we had our first date in 1975 the Summer of 9th grade (Mainland HS, Daytona Beach)! Thanks for asking! Yes, she's still looking for her ebike. She drops my seat and rides my Ridge Rider or rents in the mean time. First time I ever rode an ebike was by...

    Discovered EBikes in 2016. Wow!

    Picture 1: Store Demo/rental on the right, what would eventually be my Pedego Ridge Rider July '16 on the left. Picture 2: My first ride on my new bike went for 24.2 miles on full assistance (levels 4 and 5) and a lot of throttle. I was shocked to have 52% battery left (I haven't even removed...

    So at 2:49 Central Time July 19th, this site reports the people on-line at the time on this site. "Total: 34 (members: 7, guests: 15, robots: 12)" What the heck are 12 robots?

    A Break-In Period With My Battery?

    I'm getting great range already. After posting that I scored a rare 14 ah battery instead of the standard 11.6 ah for my Pedego Ridge Rider (a 17ah will be released by Pedego this Fall), someone said to me that the battery will do even better after it is broken in at around ten charge cycles...

    Setting Up a Pedego Ridge Rider for 6'1" Male

    I'm thinking a stock Pedego Ridge Rider is probably perfect out of the shipping container for someone 5'9" or 5'10". In fact, Court in his video review says he is 5'9", and comments that the Ridge Rider, "Is just about perfect for me." I satisfactorily rode a Ridge Rider on a 28 mile loop and...
