    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    My own bike is a 750 watt motor . It's knocked back to 500 watts for use in Canada ..... And speed limited to 32 kph. .....Only the ones shipped out of the country get to use full power ..... I suppose someone who is tech savvy could get at that extra 250 watts .....

    Different laws .... The Specialized Turbo Vado 5 in Canada is Class 1 { the 700 watt drive is knocked back to 500 watts } ... As is every Gazelle shipped here including the two you mention. I'll include a link to a Gazelle ad for the C 380 . The Zin I've never heard of .......I have not seen a...

    e-bike commuting

    The best quality bikes are Class 1 ... Specialized, Gazelle, etc. They use the best electronics and are mid-drive . Bosch and Shimano electrics . Mason and I have hub drives . I originally wanted a Gazelle but the shop quickly pointed me in a different direction .I have two leg aneurysms and...

    e-bike commuting

    There are three classes . Class 1 which is pedal assist only . That means that you do not have a power only option . Class 2 which differs between Canada and the U.S. .... In Canada it means a motor of 500 watts or less that can be operated with either pedal assist or power only and cannot...

    NEW SHOP

    I don't know what your laws are Chuck .... But up here bureaucrats may be a pain in the a$$ but they aren't out to puck you . As you have a dated permit when you started construction I would be very much surprised if a later date ruling applied to you . It would be like saying " Hey you built...

    Dolly Parton is gone...

    Just because you mentioned that I timed the C.B.C. news story that runs with the headlines every hour ..... Eight minutes ..... That's a massive amount of time to devote to a celebrity obituary report .....

    This happened to me two days ago .....I'm the kind of customer a bike shop salivates over . When I walk in I am prepared to spend money . But if you insult me I'm going to make it public . Never underestimate the power of the Google review . Two days ago I left the below Google review with one...

    e-bike commuting

    Mine is a similar design only a step-through . An Envo ST 50 locally made bike ..... I think weight only comes into the equation when you have to muscle it around . When I'm on the street I couldn't care less what it weighs . But getting it there is another matter . Mine is 60 lb.'s and I find...

    e-bike commuting

    What bike did you go with Mason ? ......I'm humming and hawing over this for air . Did my research and it appears to be the best bang for buck . Good for 9 or 10 tire inflations between charges and about 9 ounces and the size of a cigarette pack.... I'm not worried about flats . I had them...
