    New e-biker in the tri cities BC

    Proud new owner of a Volbike Mariner V2. Still getting used to it. A few comments (mini-review): I was one of the lucky ones who managed to apply for and receive an e-bike rebate. Voltbike happens to be right down the road from me, the price was good and the folks seemed competent. I picked...

    An Old Newbie

    Hi Folks. Turning 72 in October so I thought it might be time to get back into biking before it's too late. Back in the day (1972-1985), I was an avid road biker and thought nothing of chalking up a couple of hundred miles in a week with a century on the weekend. Built myself a bike with a...

    Looking for an ebike and definitely overwhelmed ><

    I've read so many of y'alls awesome posts and suggestions for other people, so I thought I would dip my toes in, too, and ask for advice. I'm a moped person, new to the ebike world. I'm interested in continuing to reduce reliance on my car, and love using my mopeds to get around, but...

    Greetings from Vancouver, Canada

    Scott here, a friend directed me to the site in search for info on the ebike I just bought. About the purchase, we got two slightly-used PowerOn City bikes, these are obviously based on a Pedego city bike frame (or a fantastic clone) - but probably with some lesser components (and a...

    Exactly Watt IsThe What Meter Telling Me?

    I just went over 100 miles on my new Rad Rover 5 and have a newbie question: What, exactly, is the watt meter telling me? Is it the power going to the motor from the battery at that particular instant expressed in watts per hour? If so, does it mean I theoretically could expect two hours of...

    Finally landed on a eBike!

    I've been hitting the virtual pavement looking for my first eBike. Questions abounded like "do I go economical?...What kind of after-purchase support is there?...are the customer reviews accurate?...how far will it go? Is it well made?" If you're reading this, then you most likely understand...

    Hey all, Glad to be part of this community after lurking for months while determining the route I wanted to go with an ebike.

    First e-bike commuter; some trails

    I am astounded by the explosion of e-bikes now available, and would appreciate pointers for which bikes I might focus attention on. I bike-commuted for 10 years then gave up when I moved to a city 7-10 miles from work, with hills, route challenges, and no shower (or time for one) at work end...
