I don't know why they don't do the PAS controller the way One Motor does. It's a distinct unit that you mount on the crank (with a magnetized mounting bracket with zip ties). A single piece that...

I loved the way Faraday looked and if I didn't live where bike theft is rampant, I'd have considered one. The e-assist is very similar to my OM system (light, assist-focused, city range). But my...

I think it's ironic that people who ride bikes and know full well different bikes do different things well - judged by huge stables of bikes - also think one type of electric drive works for...

Is it a steel fork? You can stretch those pretty safely. BF had me do it with one of theirs once, it's called "cold something or other" that I can't remember. Pretty simple process of just adding...

It's the OP's experience with purchasing a kit. It might not interest you, but you aren't everyone, lol. And, of course, I wonder why you are railing so much against it, if it doesn't interest you...

The reason folks crowdfund is one of 2, I think. One is to get something not yet on the market; not applicable here. The other is to get a pre-order discount. These can be sizable, often they are...

No, it's not the same. I went to Leaf just to see and you have to pick your components separately from what I saw. That's often the case with those providers. A non-techy person is not going to want...

Some people want simple easy install and Swytch is exactly that - no sourcing batteries or cables or other parts. Just open the box, attach a few zip ties, and done. Some people don't want/need more...

If your road bikes are "traditional" you can put a low rider rack on the front to hold the battery if you don't like it on the handlebar. I wouldn't like it there myself. That's space for carrying...

That's great. I love to hear about folks riding who really weren't before e-assist. Personally, I think health care providers and insurance companies should give e-bikes out for free to folks of...

It's the "Great Leveler". Two riders, with a 10mph difference, can ride together if one has assist. My adult son easily does 22mph+ and I can sustain maybe 14-15mph on flat distances - we can ride...

This is the second iteration. They already crowdfunded and delivered a first version. That track record often makes it a lot safer to commit.
The owner also came into a slack thread I was on to talk...
