8 years agoIf the dual battery option is chosen, can both batteries be charged at the same time? With a single charger? Do I need one charger per battery? Thanks
ReplyCourt Rye
8 years agoYes, they can both be charged at the same time with a single charger, that’s one of the really cool features with the Bosch dual-battery setup. It balances them when charging and discharging, you don’t have to ever take them off the bike if you want :)

8 years agoThis looks a lot like my ideal electric bike. And also the first electric bike I’ve ever seen where you could realistically do an extended bike tour (e.g. Lost Coast in Northern CA, Oregon Coast) without a lot of adjustments. I do have a couple of questions:
- Is it available in a non-speed Pedelec version?
- Can you remove the front rack? The front rack looks like a liability to me, not an asset.
ReplyCourt Rye
8 years agoHi David, yeah you can get it in four flavors (speed pedelec with IGH or standard cassette or Bosch CX 20 mph with IGH or standard cassette). I believe you can indeed remove the front rack and I agree, it’s not my favorite part of the bike. If you look at the fifth picture here, it shows a closeup of the clamp which appears to double as a riser for the stem. I’m almost certain you could remove it, re-mount the Supernova light and use standard riser stacks in its place if you wanted. Would be a good thing to ask the shop for help with maybe even before you get it. If you end up going on an adventure with this thing… please share some pics and feedback in the forum, I’d love to see it :D

8 years agoYeah, these things cost a pretty penny–or Euro in my case. W/ 11 speed cassette, single battery and a 25km/h version, you can save quite a bit on purchase price compared to this beast. I’m totally satisfied so far and am very pleased with the range I get on a single (500w) battery. Here’s my review.
Rant & Ride safe.

8 years agoGreat
Replyrantreview man! I really enjoyed the parts about how the brake clamp and shifting mechanism weren’t jiving perfectly, that the saddle has met (or exceeded) your expectations, and that the battery needs to be clicked in securely and water wiped away regularly. Those are the kinds of insights that only come with ownership and it’s great to see someone sharing them along with awesome photos. It looks like you and your wife have a lot of fun out there, I’ll keep an eye out for more of your stuff, thanks for commenting here :)Nick Adams
7 years agoHi Court, I was wondering what helmet you wear.
ReplyCourt Rye
7 years agoHi Nick, I wear the Specialized Echelon II in white. It has been a great helmet for me and you can find it at Specialized dealers to try on or through their website here. I wear a Medium but it’s very adjustable with one of those clicker wheels at the back :)
