Hi friends, I am planning to buy an ebike which I will mainly use for commuting to work (20 km two ways slightly hilly route). I also am planning to make some long distance trips (at most 80 km per day -- I could charge it overnight for the next day). I have considered several options, and the...

Is there any site selling Rad specific upgrades in Europe (EU) , buying from the Us and Uk is a real hassle now with taxes and import hassle

Hi all. I want to buy a long-tail cargo for cruising with my two kids (actually 45 kg for the pack !) As my budget is not too high I think about a radwagon 4 (even with those non standard tires) BUT I suspect that the EU version is completely bricked both by motor power and throttle speed. As I...

Hi all, I am leaning towards purchasing the Wattwagons Hydra bike for usage in Spain, Europe. Anyone on this forum bought a Wattwagons bike for usage in Europe, and if so, how did the delivery go, was any contact with support needed, and how did this go? Any repairs / maintenance needed from...

Hello everyone! Since E-Bike theft has been significantly increasing in recent years I'm working on a potential idea to address E-Bike theft in the Netherlands and hopefully in various other countries as well! To do this I need your opinion on some of the safety concerns of owning an E-Bike and...

I am thinking of taking an A2B Alva+ from the US when I move back to Europe (not sure the final destination yet--Amsterdam, Brussels or Copenhagen). If it weren't for the throttle, the bike would qualify as a speed pedelec and require registration, insurance, etc. Would having a throttle make it...

I tend to be wordy, so I'll summarize in bullet points at the top: -I live in the US now but may be moving to Vienna, Austria in the next couple of months -Need an e-bike for a 20 km commute each way (elevation: 60 m up, 90 m down from home to work) -I'm 5'7" 240 pounds -- I'm in better shape...

Hi everyone, Just thought I would introduce myself! I’ve been mulling the idea of an electric bike for a while after I saw a couple at the London Bike Show last year. I liked the idea but wasn’t particularly blown away by any of the bikes I saw at that show which all looked somewhat cobbled...
