I'm happy to report that riding my Riv eBike is super fun, and I get a fiendish glee when I pass people going uphill. :) On Monday, April 23, 2018 at 6:44:53 PM UTC-7, Cecily Walker wrote: > > Some of y'all might remember me. *waves hello* > > Unfortunately, as my rheumatoid arthritis and

This is so awesome, Cecily!!! I'm so glad that you've been able to find a way to keep riding your Riv! On Monday, April 23, 2018 at 7:44:53 PM UTC-6, Cecily Walker wrote: > > Some of y'all might remember me. *waves hello* > > Unfortunately, as my rheumatoid arthritis and vascular conditions >

Hi KC, I'll PM you about specific kit stuff, but will address the bike candidate question here. All things being equal - especially with the absurdly powerful motor I'm running, this thing would get me tossed out of Europe - a bike with v-brakes or discs like your SOMA can run is a better

[RBW] Re: Betty's an eBike Now

Joe, you have obviously converted several bikes to ebikes. Looks like we may be moving to a hilly area that may warrant conversions to get us through a few areas. Not sure if I would convert my Cheviot or Soma Groove (assume it can be converted and then I wouldn't be messing with my

Cecily: I just got back from a 23-mile eChev ride and you are correct that it's still pedaling. Maybe not the workout I would have gotten non-assisted, but I wouldn't have made that run today in the time I had available otherwise. I totally agree with you that we're still out there spinning

[RBW] Re: Betty's an eBike Now

When I commute in a suit I use an old MB-3 with a similar motor/battery combo. (Bafang) Rim brakes work fine. No need for new wheels in my build. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, https://lunacycle.com is a good resource. Love my Hunquapillar more, though. -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Betty's an eBike Now

I don't find it that different. I'm still pedaling. The only difference is now I can blow past reedy hipsters whenever I want to use the throttle. That's a price above rubies, in my opinion. On Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 6:59:05 AM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Yep yep, Chris, it's

And that's great if you're physically able to do it. I had been before I got sick, and then suddenly I couldn't do it anymore. I'm still using my own power to ride the bike, I just have help. On Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 5:50:49 AM UTC-7, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > > I consider myself to be

[RBW] Re: Betty's an eBike Now

Yep yep, Chris, it's definitely a different and fun way to ride a bicycle. I still have and ride non-assist bikes, but I love my eChev for shopping runs; longer rides when I don't have all day to cover the mileage; or if I just feel like getting my speed on. And they're invaluable if you have

[RBW] Re: Betty's an eBike Now

I consider myself to be fairly traditional in my bike tastes and part of the appeal of bicycling is the physical exertion involved in spirited riding. Having said that, I stepped into a bike shop last year and the owner offered me a test ride on an electric assist bike and I can honestly say

Cicely, This is the best birthday present I received. I enjoyed reading your exploits and efforts to ride you Betty. The joy of riding a bike is simple good for the soul as I believe your failed attempt to convert to a Vespa. So happy to hear you are back on your “friend”. A better ebike I
