Did you decide on a kickstand other than the one in your home? By the way, I was in D.C. last week and thought of all of the great places you have to ride. Of course, I'm not complaining. Palm Coast, FL has some awesome places to ride as well. I owe you some pics. I'll try to get those.

Thanks, Ravi!

Ravi/Court, I just rode my new NEO Jumper 650B. Wow! Court, seriously, you need to rate this bike 5+ out of 5. It is a super, super smooth ride, which brings me to my bone to pick with Ravi. Next time, Ravi, just tell me to, "Shut up, and listen!" ;-) You said the Jumper ride is...

Ravi, I bought the 2014 NEO Jumper 650B (I know, I know, at 4 NEO bikes, I am practically a dealer). At any rate, I'm around 195 lbs, 5' 10" tall. I have the bike assembled. Given my height, weight and given that I will be riding on light trails and/or, at times, rough or slightly bumpy...

Many thanks, all!!!!

Ravi, The sidewalks and trails in Palm Coast are pretty bumpy and taking a toll on my 50 year old body. I spoke with Len and he is willing to let me upgrade to the NEO Jumper 650 (as you know, he is an absolutely great guy!). It sounds like you are enjoying your bike, but I wanted to touch...

I bit the bullet. Bought two NEO City and one NEO Cross electric bikes. Thanks to all on this board for the helpful thoughts! Should have them in a week or two. Exciting times.

Very interesting and thought-provoking. Thanks, Chandlee. p.s. - awesome pic!

Court, are your thoughts the same as Chandlee's on the question above concerning the NEO City vs Pedego City Commuter vs Motiv?

One follow-up, Court. You stated the following with respect to the Motiv bikes on another thread, "Keep in mind that the handle bars and seat can be adjusted to maximize the fit just for you. For <= $50 you could also get a new stem, handle bars or maybe even an angled seatpost." Is the same...

Court and others, I didn't want to hijack this thread by creating a new one so hopefully you'll find my question. I never really see the NEO City mentioned in the cruiser category. I have not ridden or seen (in person) any of these. How does the NEO City measure up to the Pedego City...

Thanks much, Court, Ravi and Fitz. Hey Fitz, why did you go with the Pedego City Commuter over the Easy Motion City or Street? And I do plan to purchase three at once, which is, in part, why I'm being a little more deliberate, because I don't have baller status. ;-) Ha!

Court, I've been thinking about these numbers and, to be honest, it seems counter-intuitive to me that a smaller motor with a smaller battery can get greater distances, holding the speed constant. Pedego City Commuter 48V, 10ah: 500 watt motor, 480 watt hour battery = 480/500*20 = 19.2 miles...

You are the Master Yoda of E-bikes! Very knowledgeable, you are. ;-) Thanks!

This is a very helpful forum and thanks to all for the responses to my earlier question. I was really close to making a decision to purchase a BH Easy Motion for me, my wife and son but I started focusing more carefully on the specs. I was looking at the Easy Motion (Carbon, Jumper, City)...

I appreciate the good thoughts. It seems the thought is to take a cruiser and add a suspension fork to maximize the comfort. Is it an option to change the handlebars on a mountain bike, which would have better suspension, to a more upright set of cruiser handlebars? If so, would that provide...

Thank you very much for the well thought out response. Comfort is very important. I do think we'll want a bike with cruiser handlebars and shocks, which the City Commuter does not have. I'm not a big fan of the looks of the City Commuter. I like the looks of the e-bikes with the batteries...

I have been researching electric bikes for some time now. This website has been a valuable resource. However, since I can't really put my hands on these bikes (no local dealers) and I'm new to electric bikes, I would appreciate some advice from those with more experience. First, I am in...
