    Getting out the house quicker / Making the eBike the easy choice (over a car)

    I need to do this, I never remove my front wheel so the skewer is only making it easier for other people. Tough one with my current pannier bags. They are attached as a set of two + a 'trunk' all on a single MIK connector. More than I'd want to carry. But I could definitely see the value in...

    Getting out the house quicker / Making the eBike the easy choice (over a car)

    Good advice for morning commuters! Personally I work from home and my rides are much more impulsive. Switching from multiple smaller water bottles to a larger backpack style hydration thing has been something I've been meaning to try though. I actually have one for hiking I've just never tried...

    Getting out the house quicker / Making the eBike the easy choice (over a car)

    I like riding my bike but sometimes it feels like I am walking all over the house getting ready for a ride. Often including multiple trips up and down stairs as I realize I forgot something I need. I feel like I walk around the house for 15 minutes sometimes getting ready. I want to use my bike...

    Best trunk rack for MIK racks

    I also went with the Basil trunk bag. Additionally I got their pannier bags which also attach with the MIK system. I was able to combine the two so they both connect at the same time with the one MIK plate.

    EV charging stations for Ebikes??

    I was just thinking to myself the other day it would be nice to be able to use these things to charge my bike.

    After repair I lost overdrive with Enviolo manual

    Yeah I was similarly afraid to force them, for good reason. They are plastic and if forced I think you are likely to break a tooth on the gear or maybe the axle. After some fiddling I realized that the plastic display cover you look through to see the rider indicator comes off. It is just...

    After repair I lost overdrive with Enviolo manual

    So I think I figured out where I was going wrong. I was doing a lot of my testing stationary and the bike needs to be rolling to give you full range of the under/overdrive. Additionally when my brake cable snapped I believe my shifter indicator got mis-calibrated so even when in full overdrive...

    After repair I lost overdrive with Enviolo manual

    I had a shift cable snap over the weekend while riding home. Called a ride home and opened the shifter to find both cables very mangled up. I replaced both cables to spec based on an enviolo video on the subject. Now I am experiencing the problem that the OP was having above where I am...

    Upgrading from Cobi.bike to Nyon?

    Interesting feedback so far. So I do use Strava with Cobi.bike and it is nice how it integrates seamlessly. It sounds like the Nyon does it too but perhaps with a bit more effort? As far as security of the phone on the bike I did have an incident early on with my old phone case where the phone...

    Upgrading from Cobi.bike to Nyon?

    I've been looking at what has developed in the Bosch ecosystem system I bought my Riese & Muller eBike in early 2020. I was surprised/interested to see that the "Smartphone Hub" isn't emphasized like it was when I purchased. Most of the excitement seems to be around the Nyon. I've been reading...

    Charger 3 Resale Value?

    Yeah I had a similar thought. I sent an email to their hello@ address earlier today we will see what they say. I'll share here if I hear back. Happy to hear estimated values from others who may know in the meantime. Looking at Propel, configuring the same bike today would be about $7,561.00...

    Charger 3 Resale Value?

    I did reach out to Propel asking if they could put a value on it. I wrote to chris@ directly and haven't heard back. I haven't tried again on their more general email address yet.

    Charger 3 Resale Value?

    It has the 500wh powertube. I think the 625's came in the next model year later.

    Charger 3 Resale Value?

    In March 2020 I bought two R&M Charger 3's from Chris @ Propel Bikes. One for me, one for my wife. I'm just over 2k miles on mine now but my wife never really took to it and that one has mostly sat in our home unused. It would have been great to ride together but if it hasn't happened yet I...
