    Locking Up with a Front Basket

    Couldn’t you put it next to the upside U instead of through it? Or is it the continuous U kind?

    Timer for protecting battery when charging

    I found these for sale at Menard for $7.00. It is a power outlet with a timer. I plan on using it when I charge my battery so it will not overcharge. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    New Commuter needs help

    I personally like the cruiser style seating position as I think it makes it easier to see traffic, and you don't need such an aggressive riding position on an ebike. I have some minor back and wrist issues so the upright seating is key for me. Ymmv. As for panniers, I just picked up the...

    Multi-season/sport helmets

    I fianlly ended up with a Bern Brentwood. I really liked the idea of the Allston but I found it didn't fit my head. I thought I had discovered that Bern changed their sizing between 2013 and 2014, but I think it is just the liners that changed. And that was so they could have less...

    Used e-moto ridge 4.5 now, or Izip e3 path+ much later?

    I am pretty happy with it. It definitely isn't as nice as the Path+ I took for a test drive, but obviously way cheaper. I bought it off of craigslist from an auto mechanic and it looks like he maintained it well. Things I like... It has a shock absorber front fork, disc brakes, and both a...

    Multi-season/sport helmets

    The Bern Allston has way more ventilation. Seems like a better option for me!

    Multi-season/sport helmets

    Looking to replace my current helmet and considering something like Bern Brentwood so I could get a winter liner and also use it when skiing. Does anyone have experience with these? Are they cool enough on hot days?

    What about your head:?

    Used e-moto ridge 4.5 now, or Izip e3 path+ much later?

    It seemed like a good deal. I am hoping down the road I can swing something nicer once it becomes clear that I am using it on a regular basis and after it has paid for itself.

    Used e-moto ridge 4.5 now, or Izip e3 path+ much later?

    Took the plunge and got the used e-moto. Rode to work today. It did fine. Definitely not as sweet as the path+ (duh) but will do the job for now. Brakes need a tuneup but other than that, I am looking forward to being an ebike owner! It haa suspension fork, torque sensor and throttle...

    Used e-moto ridge 4.5 now, or Izip e3 path+ much later?

    I rode a path+ a couple of weeks ago and have caught the bug. I found a local used E-Moto Ridge 4.5 with a one year old battery for about 1/6 of the cost of a new Path+. My car also needs to be replaced ASAP, so it is bad timing to be trying to justify the cost of a new Ebike. The old car...

    New "minimalist" helmet for a new biker?

    Took a while to find it ... You are correct. He almost always wears a brain bucket. I officially retract the word "many". I must have just watched that one a few times since I saw a used one on sale near me :-).

    Looking for input on a commuter bike for a 6'2" rider

    Thanks. Looks like the otherwise excellent review is slightly inaccurate.... http://electricbikereview.com/izip/e3-path-plus/ "Other: lifetime frame warranty, medium step-through frame in gray, medium and large high-step frame in black,..."

    New "minimalist" helmet for a new biker?

    Being new here, I was surprised to see Court without a helmet in many of the reviews. Not only would it be setting a good example to have one, but a good place to mount a camera too! This me isn't what I call minimalist, but I like the fact that it has got a single comment because there is...

    Looking for input on a commuter bike for a 6'2" rider

    I am about this size too and considering an ebike. Just a little under 6'2" and and 225 lbs. Currie was just at a local store over the weekend and I got to ride a Path+. Most addictive thing I have done in years. The guy that was there was extremely helpful. I wish I had gotten his name...
