    e-bike Rookie | 1st e-bike purchase advice

    First-time poster, future first-time owner! Looking for some advice on my first e-bike purchase: 1. I won't be commuting, but looking for a bike to enjoy around town, up and down the hilly roads of Atlanta. 2. As strange as this sounds (since it appears that most of the higher-quality ebikes...

    Throttle hack?

    I'm a bike noob and was just curious if there are ways to hack a throttle onto the bike at all? I find it much more easier to ride having that option.

    Mid-drives with throttle/trigger?

    I have a Haibike speed pedelec, which I love. Unfortunately, the knee injury that first prompted me to get an ebike has been acting up with increased frequency and duration. After a month of forgoing my bike for a bus, I can make it 80% of the way to work without pain, but the 20% seems to set...

    My first e-bike. China "ivelo". Questions of adding throttle.

    Hi! I just got this used "Ivelo" e-bike. It's pedal assisted only, and I'm a bit disappointed as I expected it to have a full electrical mode/throttle.. Now I have opened it up and had a look at the controller to see if there might be a place for a throttle but doesn't seem like it... Is it...

    Help: assist hesitation / dropouts after replacing rear wheel

    My 2016 CC has always had a problem with broken rear spokes (like many people here, it seems), so the shop I bought it from offered to rebuild the wheel with new OEM spokes under warranty. The shop is a ferry ride away (I'm in BC), and I neglected to call ahead when my wife and I decided to...

    Help please choosing

    I've been studying bikes for some time the past two years. I was one of those ones that scoffed at spending even a couple of thousand on electric bike let alone a normal bike. These days I've come to appreciate quality but also knowing how to make a dollar stretch even still. I'm torn in...

    Can I register an e-Bike with throttle in the EU?

    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...

    Light, Lift on to rack, townie, reliable. Help please!

    I've read so many reviews I can't keep them straight! have a Promaster van that I've turned into a camper. The rig will be complete when I find an e-bike that I can get onto the rack by myself! I also want to use it for recreation, 10-20 mile rides (so I've ruled out folding bikes) and regular...

    Looking for a thumb throttle?

    Found this on the Radrover Facebook group, from a fellow called Jim Nadeau. Could not be any easier or cheaper. I'll put a black one myself. Good old zip tie.

    Throttle vs. Pedal Assist

    I'm curious how often those of you who've been e-biking for awhile use the throttle, assuming you've got both throttle and PAS? ... I get the impression riders use the throttle a lot in the beginning but, over time, get more and more used to pedal assist, using the throttle less and less. I'm...

    Thin w/ Display takes off by itself!

    This has happened more than three times so far: I'm off the bike and holding the bars and it suddenly goes full throttle! The first time it happened I just assumed I accidentally hit the throttle, but when it happened again I realized it was doing it on its own. I'm getting used to always...

    New guy here, need smart/experienced assistance!

    Throttle kits

    Can a throttle kit be added to a Specialized or Haibike mountain bike? I'm not concerned about legality or warranty issues. I just want to know if there are kits out there and can these bikes accept them.

    Weird PAS and throttle issue evo cross

    Just picked up a new Evo Cross and was riding it to work today and had a weird issue. Everything started out great but after about 2 miles I heard this weird clipping sound and felt the bike kind of lurch a couple of times and then the motor cut out and the LCD panel turned off. I turned it back...
