Check out CrabEnemy's thread on what he did with his. He posts photos of parts there. He also posted photos on the Epik SE Rider Page I started on Facebook.

@Alisha - Yes you will be able to stop with v-brakes going downhill but I personally like more stopping power than that and I hate squeaking. Based on what you are saying, the SE should be your choice. My understanding is that the bike is improving but the price is going up a little bit...

@Alisha - I own the SE and haven't ridden the Lite. It isn't hard to figure out the differences though because the parts are not different. The motor is now a 350 on both with the Lite being a pound lighter -- meaning no difference there when you consider that the weight differential between...

@Alisha - I bought my bike for the same purpose, which is to make it to school (teacher) without sweating. Sure your pedal assist will help you plenty if you can already pedal a hill without it but the real feature for hills is the throttle. I have 35 lbs on you and I can say that the...

So I chose the Bern Watts, as I mentioned earlier, but I couldn't decide between Size M and L. I ended up keeping them "M" and extracting some of the forehead/temples padding. Perfect.

@lydwoman888 - Welcome to the gang. Please look at the thread about SF bait bikes. I talked about my mission to find perfect locks there. It isn't complicated. You spend as much as you can afford to spend while carrying as much weight as you can afford to carry. Two methods are better than...

Just remember that they have lots of choices too, some for those who prefer Wally prices..

Thanks. You must have a slightly more narrow head than mine. I sent the M back because it was gonna give me a headache. That doesn't mean it didn't fit, it just fit too well.

@Paul E. and @Chris J - I started a Facebook group for E-Joe Epik owners but there is no reason why other E-Joer's can't hang out and talk. I am a new E-Joe owner myself. https://www.facebook.com/groups/EJoeEpikRiders/

What is it that you are running that only weighs 20lbs again? My lightweighter weighs 40lbs. Plenty of big city Schwinn riders are strapping those 15 pounders over their shoulders or around their waists. To answer your question @JoePah, I read an excellent article for you that I will link...

@Court I would be interested in reading some VeloInsurance testimonials. Insurance is worth a lot less if it is a pain to claim. A basic plug in of my numbers shows that my $1500 flyer will cost about $115 a year. I am wondering what veteran bike owners say about insurance. If one had a...

Based on a hundred hours of reading up on chains and u-locks, I have found a certain level of confidence in ratings at SoldSecure.Com out of the UK, which also evaulates American products. I do not live in a high-crime area so I am lucky but here is my take on bikes. Lock them at all times...

I can and do go all over town on 20" wheels but every person is different. I run three miles per morning so I am used to working harder for minimal distance in below-average times. I am asthmatic and I average only ten minute miles. I don't know anything about your commute. I know that mine...

Yes, they all over protection. If you get hit in the head hard enough, you will die wearing any one of them. I went with this one.

It sounds like you could benefit from a proper bike tour in Vietnam! Ex-American War veterans are very welcome in Vietnam. You may never even be asked if you served. In fact, I have encountered many former GI's that have gone back to Saigon to stay after never feeling at home again in the US...

Actually, as the US left, they provided the South Vietnamese Army with a gazillion M-1's and M-2's. New recruits trained with M-1's, which was my father's first rifle. He would love to have one for nostalgic purposes but I would rather get him a bike! He is on acute dialysis right now and is...

Chris Nolte (above) is the expert here on this post but my question for you would be: Have you looked at some low-step or step through bikes? Your aging knees would appreciate it! Also, I only have a 6-mile RT commute and have found that 20" wheels are perfect for short distances... AND short...

Good customer service is a big deal. One of several reasons that people talk about Currie all of the time because they answer their phone and have a guy sitting there waiting for you to start a chat. Now, I don't know if Currie is going to send you a box of straps on tomato soup day but the...

Please bear with me for a short story. I am currently in possession of a defective bike. I have discussed the issue with the manufacturer and expressed to them what I would like to happen in order to resolve the issue. They have agreed to my request and I believe that we mutually feel that...

I will right at E-Joe review in September.
