Hi to all ebike enthusiasts. My name is Jerry M. and I live in Saskatoon, SK.. the great white north. Maybe not so white right now. I ride a IGO core Extreme 3.1 and love it. There aren't alot of big hills around here so the 500W hub motor is fine for my needs. What I truly love is the way it flattens out any hills that I do encounter. I have no trouble breaking the 30km mark with the pedal assist setting of 2 of 9. Downside of this bike is its weight...75 lbs. I also put a different seat on it to make riding more comfortable. I've ridden this creature since may, on and off and very much enjoy it. I've had only one issue with it and it was solved same day with an email.
 
Welcome, @jtm!
Show us a photo when you can. Off topic, can you skate on your river?

Ahh...the Paris of the Prairies. Welcome to the forums, fellow flatlander. I’ve seen a few IGOs prowling the local streets and wondered how their owners felt about them. Any current plans on riding that bad boy through the winter season?
 
It's a possibility but I doubt it. Something about the windchill when at some speed at -20c. With fatties and low tire pressure it likely do fine.
 
I also put a different seat on it to make riding more comfortable.
Welcome to the site. I've been through 6 seats on my ride, and am customizing a seventh. I start getting hip pain at 3.5 hours. Not the joint, the muscles, since all the fat melted off ~10 years ago.
