    My first 250 miles on e-bike

    I am riding on Easy Motion Neo Carbon street bike. I commute on regular street and few bike trails. So far I only had one tiny flat.

    My first 250 miles on e-bike

    Today I went over 250 miles on my way back home. Bike is performing great and I must say that I enjoy riding bike instead off my SUV.

    Third ride to work report

    My bike came with older display, with Eco Standard Sport and Boost modes. I don't know how much each one is helping. Eco is the lowest and Boost the highest.

    Assistance levels 2 to 4 makes no difference – Stromer ST1

    I don't have Stromer but on my e-bike assistance is not as noticiable once I am above 20 mph.

    Third ride to work report

    Now it is official, I commute to work on my e-bike regularly. For my third ride I chose highest assistance level available on my bike, the BOOST. As with sport level, I had no problem staying above 20mph, however this time I arrived to work with 60% battery power and got back home at 40%. With...

    Electric Velomobile for $4k

    Very interesting idea. I wish that those kind off eBikes were allowed to ride up to 30mph on public roads. I would buy one in no time.

    First ride report

    Today, I rode to work again. This time I went with standard level of assistance and freshly charged battery. I arrived still with 80% off charge ! I found few shortcuts, so one way trip is now only 9.2 miles. Standard level saved a lot power, however I had hard time staying above 20mph. I got...

    First ride report

    Since bike was used as demo for over a year I insisted on new battery. Fortunately for me they only had 11.6 Ahr one.

    First ride report

    Today, I did my first real life ride with my new Easy Motion Neo Carbon e-Bike. Since I bought it to commute to work I took it on the ride to work. Bike has four assist levels: eco,standard, sport and boost. I felt like using sport, because on the trip to my work there are 11 miles, mostly up...

    EASY MOTION NEO CARBON for $2800

    Having e-bike store few miles from home made it impossible for me to resist temptation to get bike I liked. I was able to get bike with two chargers and larger battery, out the door price was $2700. Bike is only 45 lbs and I am 147lbs so 12Ahr battery should give me good range, I hope.

    Life span of an eBike

    I want at least 3 years from bike and 1-2 years from battery . Let's face it , we the consumers like to get new and better staff . It would be great if you could make bike last forever for few hundred dollars, however it is not realistic. Most off today's products are made to last only few years...

    How to purchase: LBS or Online?

    I got my bike at local bike store. I believe in supporting small guys as long as they don't rip me off. We need them to help us fix bikes. You get better price on line but when bike break down you have to send it back. We hope that bikes are made to last but they don't . Just my personal opinion.

    New guy wants too get his first eBike

    Too late, I bought it for $2700! Future will tell if this bike will work out for me. With 30 gears I should be fine. In not so distant past I rode few centuries . Also bike came with 12 Ahr battery and two chargers , so bike may not be the latest and greatest but over all I guess I made good...

    New guy wants too get his first eBike

    Thanks, I can see that most new bikes are 48V and 36V is on the way out. That is why I asked if I can have second charger in case if they stop making them.

    New guy wants too get his first eBike

    One off the bikes I liked was EASY MOTION NEO CARBON , 36v with 350w motor. Since it has carbon fiber frame, bike is light and surprisingly fast. It is on sale since it's 2013 for $2800. Original price was about $4500. There are two things I didn't like about it: battery is only 8Ahr and motor...

    New guy wants too get his first eBike

    I went to a local e-Bike only bike store and took few bikes for a ride. I was very happy with performance off more than one bike. Actually all had plenty power to impress me. I must say that there was no hill to actually really test extreme driving conditions. Anyway, there is no way that I...

    New guy wants too get his first eBike

    Hi! About four years ago I got new job which was only 11 miles from my home. I wanted to ride my road bike to work since gas prices were way up there and I could exercise while saving money. Great idea however on my first ride I realized that it is 11 miles uphill ! I did make it, however I...
