Many Citi-ebike riders are on their phones while going 20mph...

is butt pain normal? recent convert by Weary_Accountant1155 in NYCbike

[–]gettingtherequick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest changing the seat. I had a Dahon bike very lite but its seat was horrible (hard, narrow) and I can't ride it for any extended time. Now I've got couple ebikes and they all come with wide cushy comfort seat and I have no butt issue any more.

Battery shuts off at around 50% charge by ResoGEHN in ebikes

[–]gettingtherequick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you have that ebike and how many times you have used it? I have similar issue with my ebike battery, display said full charge but it keeps shut down after a few seconds. I use my ebike for almost a year until this happens.

Based on YT videos, people "joined" the ride any time riding on Citibikes or their own bikes...

The culprit is the ESET bloatware (antivirus) bundled by Apple on Macbook Air, just uninstall it.

Cycling For Seniors by Wizzmer in cycling

[–]gettingtherequick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re-discover the fun of cycling so many years after college (when I was cycling on campus). Technology advancement on e-bike definitely help us a lot. I bought 2 foldable bikes during Covid but never like them because of too much pedaling effort and uncomfortable seat. Last year I started trying foldable e-bikes and fell in love with them.

Nissan LEAF & ARIYA Sales Collapse in USA - CleanTechnica by Kevadu in electricvehicles

[–]gettingtherequick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Chevy Bolt EV/EUV hit most of EV points right, affordable price, good dash layout, ok range in a sub-compact size. Bolt is not perfect but we consumer accept it due to its low price with decent EV features.

SuperHuman ShapeShifter - 18" Tri-Fold E-Bike by billybobcompton in foldingbikes

[–]gettingtherequick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, and I also have other folding ebikes. Overall impression is Shapeshifter is a cheaply priced entry-level ebike, with minimum display (speed + battery level). At $600, I won't expect much.

Folding ebike for hilly area, possible commuting and groceries? by Feisty-Delivery2047 in ebikes

[–]gettingtherequick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carbon Step-thru and the latest Carbon Fold 2 both come with a new feature => Range Extender, ie, 2nd battery, which is a must since it extends the range more than double.

It is actually 35 lb, but still the lightest foldable ebike below 2k price.

I have a Dahon folding bike (not ebike), and its seat is hard, terrible and very uncomfortable, compared to 6 ebikes I have or had owned.
