    Harassed by Real Bicyclists

    Phone will never ring. It'll be a text, instant message, WhatsApp or WeChat. Do people still talk on the phone? :confused:

    Harassed by Real Bicyclists

    I'm in the same boat as JoePah. Roadies don't harass me because they can't keep up with me. If anything, I harass them by sometimes doing crazy s*it when I pass them, like taking out my cell phone and pretending to talk on it. :P

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Hey Court, I went with the Minoura cage mount, and some Avenir bottle cages. I ended up removing it because the bottles I was using kept falling out. I lost two bottles so far. I'm looking at maybe going to a Camelbak solution now. I have put over 1,000 miles on the Cross since getting it. My...

    Is there an eBike that will allow me to maintain 28mph?

    I would take a Zero SR over an electric Harley. I can't see an electric Harley selling, unless they can somehow add that Harley sound to it.

    Is there an eBike that will allow me to maintain 28mph?

    I haven't had a chance to go ride it yet. I'm also looking at the Haibike Xduro Superrace, but they don't seem to be in stock at the moment.

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Went for 37 mile ride today on Standard power mode. Average 16.50 mph for the entire distance. When I got home, I still had three bars on the power meter, which is really good, but I could tell that in Standard mode, the bike was making me do most of the work. The ride was made better, and...

    Is there an eBike that will allow me to maintain 28mph?

    Thanks for the list! There's a Specialized Turbo dealer right here in Irvine. I'm going to go give it a test ride and see how much faster it is to the Cross.

    Is there an eBike that will allow me to maintain 28mph?

    I've put over 200 miles on my Neo Cross since I got it a week ago. I'm able to hit 25mph on level ground with no wind. I was told the cut off was 27mph but I guess I'm too big (6'2" 205lbs) and/or not strong enough to hit the max speed. Will the Specialized Turbo S or Stromer ST1 Platinum allow...

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Thanks. It's actually my daughter's car. Well, originally I got it for my wife, but she never drove it. She gave it to our daughter, but she's too young to drive. I end up driving her around in it. She knows every function of the car, including how to change the massage settings on the seats...

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Went for a 30.5 mile ride today in Sports mode. Did the ride in 1.5 hours averaging about 21mph. Pretty much the same route as before. All level ground with the only elevation change being going through the underpass. When I got back the battery was at zero bar, but the motor was still...

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    While I would love to make the Cross goes faster, I not up the skill level to a mod like that. I'm sure someone way smarter than me will figure out a way to by-pass the speed limiter and then market it as a simple to install kit. I would buy one. :)

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Hi Orlans, I did 30 miles today using a mix of Standard and Sports mode. Still had two bars on the battery afterwards. They say the motor can pedal assist up to 27MPH but, damn, it took all my effort just to reach 25! And even then I was only able to maintain it for a minute.

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Hi Eddie, I already ordered the behind the seat mount wth two water bottle. Based on the photos I've seen, it actually looks pretty good! Going off topic to me working at a job for 8 months in my entire life. I've been very fortunate that I've been able to leverage the power of the Internet...

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Ya, I don't think it will do 65 miles, but that's the claim. Actually, I don't think I can even ride 65 miles. lol I ordered some Shimano PD-M520 pedals for it. Must have cleats. Also ordered a behind the seat water bottle cage. It's the only place I can think of to put a bottle.

    I'm going to try ECO tomorrow and see if I can get the claimed 65 mile range.

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Well, I took my first official ride on the Neo Cross today. This is the route I generally ride everyday with my old MTB. The bike route (also used by walkers and runners) is about 22 miles longs and mostly flat as a pancake. The only elevation change is going under a road, where you dip down, go...

    Speed Hack - no more limited by 27MPH cutoff ??

    Why can your car exceed the speed limit? Why not put a limiter on cars so they can't go faster than the posted limit? The answer is simple. People always want more. Mind you, my car has a limiter at 156MPH. :( At least I could do that with the top down.

    Got my new Neo Cross today

    Hey everyone, First time member. Thought I would join the eBike movement. I ordered a new Neo Cross on Saturday and got it delivered today. I had to wait an extra day because I wanted it with the 12amp battery. Only rode it for about mile. So far, I like it a lot. Will take it on a longer ride...
