I recently produced a video with my friend Catrin from R&M. It's a story of how she uses her Load to commute to work. I was very inspired and I hope this video inspires others to consider how they get around. I look forward to sharing more of these stories in the future to help others see...

I recently published this video of the Moustache Samedi 27 X2 Tandem and figured I would share here. It’s a Bosch powered electric tandem capable of varied terrain. This one is the trekking version but it’s also available as a mountain version. It’s quite a cool bike and a blast to ride! I hope...

I recently created a video of the Xtracycle eStoker. It’s similar to the Edgerunner, but it has 24” wheels front and rear. It’s a great cargo bike for those that want something more rugged or want to go off the path on occasion.

I’m looking to hear from people who were Bosch mid drive early adopters. My main question regards long term support. Given that bike frames are built around these motors, and that new motors are not interchangeable with older models due to different size/mounting (at least that’s my...

I picked up my 2018 S Duro Trekking 9 from @sandiegoflyrides on September 30. I had a great experience with Max and the team there. I have the Large Frame, I'm 6' and a 32" inseam. It fits well, but honestly I probably should have gone down to a Medium or a low step. The seat post is at the...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the number of chainring revolutions per crank arm revolution. I have seen a number of videos reviewing ebikes with the Bosch e-bike system and learned that the chainring revolves 2.5 times for every single crank arm revolution. and it raised some...
