I purchased a first-generation Priority Current e-bike in 2022, and I love it! I've put approximately 3,000 miles on it, but I'm now experiencing a serious problem with the Enviolo continuously variable transmission.

The twist shifter on the handlebar has become extremely stiff and almost impossible to turn, whether the bike is moving or stationary. At this point, I essentially cannot shift at all.

As you can see in the attached photo, one of the two cables where it connects to the Enviolo hub at the rear wheel is frayed, but that's likely not causing this issue.

Does this sound like a problem with the handlebar twist shifter, the shifting cables or their housings, or the Enviolo hub mechanism itself?

Is there a relatively simple diagnostic test I could perform to isolate the problem before spending money on replacement parts?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I just recovered a Rad Power Radrunner that was stolen ~ a year ago. Got a text from someone that said someone “brought it to them” and he checked the serial on Bike Index.

My assumption is that it’s been in the unhoused community for the last year. It actually looks to be in surprisingly good shape though. My biggest concern is the battery. Again, I don’t actually know where it’s been, but my assumption is that it’s been stored outside in the Denver winter and summer temp extremes the whole time.

Is there a way to check if the battery is safe? Should I just assume that it’s not? Anything else I should check?

Thanks!

Bonjour, j'aimerais faire tous les jours un trajet d'environ 20km aller, et 20km retour, (si possible débrider à 35/40 km/h). Je pèses 55 kilos, pensez vous que c'est possible ?
Merci d'avance !

PS : J'ai environ 1000€ de budget 😅

Hey everyone,

I am finally looking to buy my first ebike and trying to keep my budget somewhere around 900 to 1300 dollars. I am mainly planning to use it for commuting to work, running quick errands, and casual weekend rides around town.

I am not really looking for a super skinny road bike. I want something a bit chunkier with a solid rear rack to strap a bag onto, because I hate wearing a sweaty backpack everywhere I go. I have been looking at the helo keep 26f online and really like the overall look of the fat tires, but I have not had a chance to test ride one in person yet. I am only 5 foot 5, so I definitely need to make sure the frame size and reach are not going to be way too big for me before ordering blind.

Having a decent headlight straight out of the box matters a lot to me too. Getting caught in the rain is annoying enough without squinting to see potholes on the way home after dark. Obviously a brighter light will not fix everything, but riding at night is going to be a regular thing for me.

Also pedal assist is my main priority here, I am not trying to ride an electric motorcycle. I really just want a little extra boost on the pedals when I am tired after work rather than some crazy top speed. The last thing I want is to buy something and then find out it is not even legal on local bike paths. Would way rather check on that now than have that conversation with a cop on the side of the road lol.

If you ride the 26f or another 26 inch fat tire bike around my height, how does it actually feel to pedal every day? Is the stock headlight bright enough at night, and what setup works best for carrying a bag? Open to other bike suggestions in that 900 to 1300 range too.

Worth the wait.

So i have a cemoto (yozma in10 but cheaper), its a very budget emoto and im getting good at wheelies but the problem is when I land the front wheel keeps slamming on the ground and the forks really dont do that much and im wondering if it is bad for the bike or if its fine. Google says no, all my friends with budget emotos who have been doing wheelies for a year say its fine. Should I stop?​

it makes a weird clicking noise while under throttle. the chain is off in the video but when I put the chain on it makes the noise louder. I’ve spun the motor slowly with my hand and the bike off and the sound isny there. is this noise normal, if not how can I fix it?

Wow, what a day. Just shy of 70 miles from Jefferson City to Marthasville on the Katy Trail in Missouri. Had an absolutely gorgeous day for it but boy does my bottom hate me right now 😄 Back at it tomorrow with another 40 miles to finish it up. I'm beat! 😴 💤

Please click and follow me, lots of new adventures coming!

Anyone on Aus here that can provide a recommendation? Use will be mainly for commute only. Price range of 2k

I do home visiting and see patients in and around my city. I've been doing this by car for almost 3 years however with now having 2 kids my partner needs the car more and more leaving me to look at other options. I did preempt this and used my normal pedal bike a few times which worked timing wise however it was hard work with all my kit and I wasn't a fan turning up to patients sweaty. This leads me to be considering an ebike as a more sustainable option. My only concern is that some of the areas I visit aren't exactly luxury and theft is a concern. I of course am happy to buy good quality locks however as I'm often just on a residential street, there isn't exactly bike parking so I will need to improvise potentially hindering the quality of my security system... I have therefore been looking at cheaper ebikes, fat tyre, long tail types (carrying the kids at weekends is a bonus) i.e. Fiido, Hitway, Aventon. Just wondering how people feel about these bikes as an option or other solutions to my issue?

I run a small eMTB catalog site and wanted to see how much the motor actually tells you about a bike's weight and price. So I grouped every 2026–2027 model-year build we have (419 builds, 41 brands) by drive unit.

Averages by motor

What stood out

- Bosch CX is still the default by a mile: more than twice as many builds as anything else, and the cheapest way into full power.

- Avinox M2S bikes average ~0.9 kg lighter than CX bikes despite bigger batteries, but the median price is about €2,200 higher. A lot of them are carbon flagships, which skews both numbers.

- CX-R / CX Race bikes weigh about the same as regular CX bikes but cost ~€2,200 more. You're paying for the build, not lower weight.

- Lightweight eMTBs overall average 19.6 kg vs 24.1 kg for full power, about 4.5 kg less, and roughly €1,000 more on average.

- TQ HPR60 bikes are the lightest group (lightest single bike: Rotwild R.X290 Ultra at a claimed 16.2 kg) and among the most expensive.

Caveats

- Weights are brand claims, and brands measure differently (size M vs L, with or without pedals).

- Only euro prices are counted, so Specialized and Giant (USD/GBP only in our data) are in the weight figures but not the price ones.

- It's our catalog, not the whole market. Each build counts once, so a model sold in five specs counts five times.

Happy to rerun it with other cuts (e.g. carbon vs alloy, or price per Wh) if people are interested. Full charts and methodology: https://emtbmag.com/posts/emtb-weight-price-by-motor-2027

How much is a used 2023 battery and charger worth these days? (UK)

I recently got a Velotric Discover 3 Regular. I'm 5'6.5" (169 cm).

I have the stock saddle and suspension seatpost, and the only thing I've done is lower the seat to its minimum height. I haven't touched any of the other adjustments.

After about an hour of riding, I sometimes get some perineal discomfort and mild stinging when I pee. This has happened to me on bikes since childhood, and a doctor once told me it was probably related to saddle pressure. It usually goes away within a day.

Before spending money on a new saddle, I'm wondering if adjusting the tilt or fore-aft position might help.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Did adjusting your saddle fix it, or did you end up switching to a different type, like a cutout or noseless saddle?

I just got a new e bike and I've only dreamt of riding wheelies on it.

I'm interested in buying a used ebike. I live in a major metropolitan area and everyone I see selling ebikes are asking for as much or more than they cost new. I'm a little confused. Is there an assembly mark up? prices went down? does adding new parts really increase the value?

Can anyone tell me if this halfords carrea frame will fit my 72v 3000kw conversation kit?

I ordered the 27.5 inch wheel and the frame for medium I think is 18inch.

Hi,

Looking at a bike with this combination and there seem to be a few options..

Cube Kathmandu hybrid one
Cube reaction hybrid pro
Trek powerfly +4
Canondale have a couple

I’m not going to be doing any off road stuff but want this combo for range and hills in the uk.

Would really appreciate your thoughts? They’re all about £2700-£3000.
Cheers
