Stromer ST2 Launch Party in Brooklyn, NY
Everybody in the electric bike community has been buzzing about the launch of the Stromer ST2 – the most aggressive electric bike ever put in to production.
Last Saturday, on March 21st, Stromed launched the bicycle in a warehouse in Brooklyn, and NYCeWheels was there to cover it.
Check out some photos from the event:

NYC Snow Biking in a Blizzard
The Moonlander has always been one of my favorite bikes. The massive tires, the ultra-lightweight frame, the cushy ride. I even wrote a review about how much I loved the Moonlander with BionX in October. I fell in love with this bike before I had the opportunity to really test the Moonlander – like a blizzard in NYC.
Check out my video review of the Moonlander with BionX to see how this bike held up.

E-Brompton Banter—Part 6—Spark-E—What's in a Name?
As a member of the London Brompton Club, I get to see a lot of what is going on in this great folding bike's hometown. One of the things I've noticed over and over is that many of the bikes in the club have names. In fact, I have been egged on by several of my fellow members to name mine. One suggested the name 'Sparky'.
Sparky the Brompton Bike?
I'm sure you can get a feel for the thought behind this name. E-Brompton, electricity, sparks. All that comes together into a fun name. Me, I'm not all that hot on naming my bikes, but the idea has merit. Some of the names for the club's bikes are clever or have some deeper meaning I'm not privy to.
If you are a Brompton lover too, head on to their site on Facebook for a look.
I don't ever expect to see any sparks from this great little folding bike. The quality of the electric-assist conversion by NYCeWheels is top-notch with no worries of such things. With some of the best pieces available, from the motor down to the smallest connector, the only light coming from this baby is shooting out of the headlight I use for night riding.
The months keep rolling by and so does this awesome little E-Brompton. Of course I have wiped it down and aired-up the tires a few times. Other than that, it has been nothing but good old-fashioned fun with nary a hiccup. Although it's boring to not have any bad news to report, riding it is anything but. It is truly a fun generator, an 'E' ticket ride from day one.
From day one with my E-Brompton
You might remember the week I got it, it was part of the radio show I was invited to be on. They wanted to talk E-bikes and the E-Brompton was on hand to back me up. Both the radio hosts rode the E-Brompton and E-bikes were the topic of the evening. One of them even joked (not really funny) that she was going to pop it in her trunk while I was on the air. There was a lot of electrical energy that night, but no sparks.
When I gave my E-bike seminar in July, it was the first E-bike I showed the crowd. I used it as the example that E-bikes are just bikes with an added accessory. First I rode it without the battery, and then with. After my talk many people took it for a ride. For some of them it was not only their first E-bike ride, but their first exposure to a Brompton. There was plenty of excitement that night, but again, no sparks.
I took it to the opening of a new section of beach trail near Coronado. There was a big crowd that day. I can't even remember how many people mounted up the E-Brompton and took a spin on the bikeway. Up and down the trail it went countless times. Everyone got off with the biggest smile. And tons of gawking took place every time I folded it into a little itty-bitty package. If sparks were going to fly, that would have been the day.
Traveling with the E-Brompton
Twice this electric-assist folder has made the trek to CicLAvia, (in the trunk of the car as LA would have been quite a ride from my place). With 100,000 people and bikes on hand, we talked to plenty of Brompton owners. Each one was pleased to see how nicely the electric conversion was done and wanted to give it a try. The power was flowing that day. Lot's of electricity got used and not one spark was seen.
I taken it on many group rides here in town. Lots of them have been night rides. Lights blinking everywhere is always part of the scene. The E-Brompton gets its share of lights and looks at each one. It is always easy to keep up with the group using the pull of the motor when needed. The glowing sidewalls may have seemed on fire, but that was the only thing sparking on those rides.
We just got back from a great trip to Yosemite and Santa Cruz. With a pair of folding bikes in the trunk, (The E-Brompton and the Tern Link P9---both from NYCeWheels) we rode in so many places. Cruising though the trees and spectacular scenery at Yosemite was just electrifying. There is no better way to see parts of this great country than from the seat of a folding E-bike. Thank goodness there were no sparks on that week.
So I won't be naming this E-Brompton anytime soon. If I did, then possibly naming it after a toy drum-banging bunny or a watch that keeps running after an elephant steps on it would be more appropriate. The E-Brompton from NYCeWheels just keeps rolling on the miles with no complaints. If you've named your Brompton, let us know what it is and why, thanks.
What's in a name?

Winter is Coming (Prepare to batten down the bike battery)
A few months ago an older gentleman named Steven came to us, looking for an electric bike to help him up the steeper hills, down the longer stretches, and keep pace with his wife who, according to Steven, "rides at a she-woman pace."
Steven ended up purchasing the electric brompton bike, one of our best folding bikes, fit with a powerful electric motor, and since has kept in touch, writing a great electric bike review of his bike for us, posting on our facebook with pics of his bike, and providing a steady stream of clever and beautifully written anecdotes about his bike and his many adventures.
Most recently, Steven shared a post of his on FB, all about preparing his electric brompton bike for the impending winter season:
"Winter is Coming (Prepare to batten down the bike battery)
This morning driving to work I turned on the seat heaters for the first time after last winter. Oh Oh...the good times are coming to a close.
This is Rochester, NY. In traffic my mind will ramble and I was thinking that with early dark and colder weather, my Brompton E-bike will soon be sleeping with the bears until spring. Sure, I see folks on bikes in mid-January on ice-coated streets, but I suspect that most buyers of electric bikes do not fall into that living-on-the-edge, gotta-be-nuts category. I sure don't.
Which led me to muse about that expensive battery and how to store it for the winter. I got to work and Googled Li-ion battery care (my "boss" is my wife and I can get away with that performance-review killing behavior, I'm underpaid, anyway).
Bottom line: the battery needs to be stored away from cold or heat; under moderate temperatures in the 40-65 F range. Freezing temps and high heat is good for battery sales but bad for you.
More interesting, do NOT store the battery fully charged. It puts excess stress on the cells. Ideally the battery should be charged at 40 to 50% of full charge. How to determine that I haven't a clue, but that is the guideline. Recharge the battery a bit every month or so to make up for normal discharge. There is a lot of information online but it is clear that a bike battery cannot just be left in a corner of a cold garage.
Thanks again Steven for the great post, and for making a few good points that everyone should keep in mind while preparing for the winter. If you plan on being beset with snow and think you won't be riding your e-bike for awhile it is important, as Steven mentions, not to let your battery sit unattended for a long period of time. We've definitely gotten some calls from those who left it until to late and ended up with a battery that was so low it couldn't recognize a charge.
Steven also makes a good point that it's better not to store a Lithium ion battery at completely full charge, as it will put a strain on the cells to maintain that energy. To estimate the charge of a battery, it's easiest to use a console that can measure remaining charge. The electric Brompton comes with such a console, which indicates when the battery is at %100, %75, %50, and %25. This isn't an exact estimate (Steven is currently in the process of finding more exact methods of determining battery charge) but it will be close enough to determine a safe storage level.
Always a pleasure Steven! Looking forward to hearing about your next adventures on the Electric Brompton Bike!

How to Buy the RIGHT Electric Bike
As gas prices and obesity skyrocket, more and more people are seeing the incredibly exciting potential of electric bikes. Electric bikes burn calories and fat, not gas. As I wrote in my post Lose Weight on your Electric Bike, electric bikes can help you lose a ton of weight. And they make cycling possible for almost everyone – not just the very fit.
Electric bikes blend muscle and machine into a better, faster, stronger you!
As I wrote in a previous post, Electric Bikes make Cycling Accessible for (almost) Everyone!
No wonder the popularity of electric bikes is soaring! In 2010, 27 MILLION electric bikes were sold; by 2011, that number had grown to 30 million. Today, electric bikes are the most successful mass-produced electric vehicles in the world.
Electric Bikes are on the rise
It is predicted that by 2025, sales of electric bikes will reach 90 million per year – so if you're interested in buying an electric bike, you are not alone.
I have been using electric bikes for a long time. They've made me fit, and helped me lose weight. I've written about my passion for electric bikes in several posts for NYCeWheels, including BionX to the Rescue – in the Snow, which shows that an electric bike will even get you to work in a snow storm!
But one problem is that many people are overwhelmed by the choices available when they start thinking about buying an electric bike. After all, it's not as if we can just choose the bike our dad drove when we were kids! This is new technology, changing and improving all the time, so where to start?
Finding your perfect Electric Bike!
As with any important, expensive purchase, the best place to start is at a good, reputable dealer. In this respect, you can't go wrong with a knowledgeable, reputable electric bike dealer.
Apart from working with a dealer you can trust, it is advisable to learn a bit about electric bikes, so you know what you're doing.
So I've written a book that gives you an overview of all of the relevant technology, and then helps you to understand the bottom line of what's important as you choose your electric bike.
(This is a Kindle book, but you don't have to own a Kindle to read it – you can use their easy-to-download software to read it on your own PC.)
You can choose to assimilate all of the technology, or just use the bottom line to guide you. No matter what your needs are, this book includes all the information you need to make a wise decision when you buy your electric bike.
Before you spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on an electric bike, invest $10 in my book to help you choose the RIGHT BIKE FOR YOU – then you'll know exactly which electric bike to buy from a reputable dealer like NYCeWheels.

E-Brompton Banter—Part 7—Helping My Communit-E
How can a simple and fun folding E-bike help my community, you might ask. The answer is 'in more ways than is easily imagined'. The benefits it gives an individual are many. Health, happiness and economical ease are some of the ways. The freedom and joy of a bike ride can be big factors in a person's life.
Go green and get healthy with E-bikes
The ways it helps those around you and your community are also very big. We all hate air pollution. Equally, we don't care much for noise pollution either. You won't see or hear an electric-assist Brompton adding either of these things to the world around you. The world loves quiet and the E-Brompton love the world. Any bike helps to keep the gas-burners off the road and out of the way of our serenity. The Brompton with an electric-assist conversion does it so much better. Of course the folding aspect of the Brompton is very handy for many reasons, but add in the power to help you up the grades and your peace of mind while cycling goes sky-high. A contented person does wonders for any community.
The health benefits of cycling are well known. With an E-Brompton, you have the option of not pedaling, but you will find that when you are on a bike, pedaling just comes naturally. As with most E-bikes, the best way to ride is to let the motor do some of the work while you do the rest. Another great part of E-bikes is the way they can help people recovering from health issues get back on a bike and work their way back to full strength. Count on an electric-assist Brompton for that.
Some people who would otherwise never cycle because of lost strength for many reasons, can enjoy cycling with minimal concerns. Helping people do what they want, when they want to is a big reason that E-bikes continue to gain popularity world-wide. Adding electric power to a Brompton folding bike just makes sense in so many ways.
E-brompton goes to city hall
The reason I decided to do this post on helping the community with my Brompton has to do with a recent trip to city hall here in San Diego. A local bike advocacy group, Bike San Diego, put together a day where we would ask our local leaders to move towards making our town more bike friendly. I could have ridden downtown, but it is quite a way. So, I popped the E-Brompton in the back of my econo-wagon and drove about half way to the free parking area near the airport.
Riding to the meeting was a big part of the plan. And handing over that cash to the parking place might have helped our local economy, but I'd rather spread it around in ways that make more sense. Spending your money wisely helps your community too. It has been proven that a strong biking presence in a area promotes businesses. Riding an E-Brompton makes for a good local economy.
After the meeting there were friends and new friends that wanted to talk about the E-Brompton. And as always I let anyone interested take it for as long of a spin as they wanted. I have long since lost count of how many seats have sat in my saddle since NYCeWheels sent me this bike last year. There is much talk in every instance of how this bike would be so welcome in their lifestyle. E-Bromptons bring community members together.
This post on how E-Bromptons are good for communities is kind of a stretch, but not all that much. Bikes are good for us, E-bikes are good for us, so why not electric-assist folding bikes? If it is good for even one person, the whole area benefits. I know the E-brompton has been great for me. It has been handy, rides great, makes me happy, and helps pull me up the hills when I need. What more could you ask for in a bike?

My electric bike adventure
If you're like me, you probably suffered from all kinds of depression before you owned an electric bicycle and didn't even know why. In my case, I have something called Seasonal Affective Disorder or seasonal depression as it's more commonly known. Yes, I am quite literally SAD! This coupled with how defeated I felt when my doctor advised me to take better care of myself due to my diabetes was definitely a one-two punch for me last winter (that is, until I purchased my electric motor bicycle). SAD was something I vowed would not get me down this wintertime, not as long as I had my electric motor bike. I had made plans to ride my electric bike with the same frequency I had all spring and summer long into the decidedly less electric bike friendly winter months. I would be utterly unphased by whatever Old Man Winter put in front of me and my electric motor bicycle. Below freezing temperatures are no match for electric powered bicycles!
But then winter rolled around and it looked as if global warming took care of my SAD for me. Bright days and moderate temperatures allowed me to run down and get a newspaper in just a sweatshirt. I decided that this was a cause for celebration. I came upstairs and my wife was sitting on the couch with her laptop looking up electric motor bicycles for a future purchase. She had been so impressed by my Birdy BionX folder that she decided that she wanted an electric motor bike of her own. And who could blame her for those electric powered bicycle aspirations? Since I bought my electric bicycle, I felt like a completely new man. I think she knew electric bicycles be the best thing she's done since moving out of her Mom's house in Neptune, New Jersey around when she met yours truly. But enough about Meredith and New Jersey, this story is all about me and my electric motor bicycle!
I decided that I would take advantage of the gorgeous weather with one of my patented Manhattan adventures. These almost always involve electric powered bikes. One of my favorite pastimes is to head out to my local dealer and check out the latest and greatest electric motor bikes. I go to a little place out here on the Upper East Side of New York City called NYCeWheels and they always seem to know what the coolest new gadgets are. I hopped on my electric bike and zipped off to the shop. My favorite R.E.M. song was playing ("Shiny Happy People" for those of you who might be curious!) as I waltzed in and leaned my electric powered bike on the side wall and took in the vast selection of electric bikes in stock.
I decided to take an Ezee Quando out for a test ride (another electric powered bicycle that folds, I'm obsessed!) and I had a great time zipping in and out of the park. I brought it back into the shop with a smile on my face that was both huge and genuine. What a great ride! I might have to get one for Meredith just so we can maybe take a trip down to Florida sometime and ride around on our brand new electric bicycles. I also tried out something that has been referred to as a California electric scooter, the GoPed. In my opinion, an electric bike has it beat any day!
Six Reasons the Stromer ST1 is the Perfect Vehicle for Cold Weather
Unlike when I borrowed the eBrompton and the electric assist Dahon Formula from NYCeWheels, I got my hands on the Stromer ST1 as the traditional riding season was ending. The fewer the leaves on the trees, the fewer the cyclists on the roads. Seeing your breath becomes routine and eventually it gets so cold you have to wear a full face neoprene mask - the DefCon 5 of winter preparedness.
But the bike itself makes riding in winter easier than it has ever been and in just one sitting I can come up with six reasons why the Stromer ST1 is perfect for winter riding.
6. Those big tires
As winter closes in, leaves fall, twigs snap, and missing Stupid Car Antlers show up on the road in front of you. Riding anything smaller causes a wince when you hit obstacles - no matter how small - but not with this bike.
5. It doesn't need to warm up.
In a car, you have to hustle into the cold, sit on the cold seat, turn the cold keys and wait until spring for the engine to warm up. When I take the Stromer all I have to do is carry it outside, turn it on, and start pedaling. Bonus: no windshield to defrost and most car trips are so short the car won't even warm up by the time you get there anyway.
4. It doesn't have to be parked
You'll want to bring a good lock with you for sure but the Stromer ST1 is the best vehicle for holiday shopping. I can lock it at a shop, buy gifts for my entire family, and by the time I'm done the baby excrement-green Kia will still be sitting in the parking lot with the blinker on waiting for the Suburban to JUST MOVE ALREADY!
3. In city driving, it's almost as fast as a car
If I want to drive my car to New Canaan from Stamford, Connecticut, it takes a little over 20 minutes. Riding the Stromer ST1 I made it in just under 30 minutes. But even with falling gas prices, it's a lot cheaper per mile and the quality of those minutes is just far better than any car. And remember: I don't have to count the time it takes to find a place to park.
2. It's easier to ride than a regular bike
Most of the price tag for a Stromer ST1 is for the 500 watt motor and the electric assist system. And while I always appreciated it for the speed I didn't realize how nice it is until I rode a regular bike in cold weather. On a normal bike, you have to wear warm clothing but the exertion of climbing up a hill can make you sweat. When riding the Stromer I feel like my pace is more regular and I'm not on a temperature yo-yo all the time.
1. It's fun and it feels good to ride
If James Franco and the guy from 'Knocked Up' can't entertain me on Christmas Day, the terrorists win. To that end, if I can't go for a bike ride in cold weather, winter wins. Even if you shiver, even if you end up hating the landscape straight out of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, even if you get snotsicles - riding a bike in cold weather is a victorious occasion - and it makes us yearn for the warmer days that are ahead. Hope you get to do that yearning on the seat of the ST1.

The Stromer ST1 – The First Ride
By: Mike from DIYBIKING.COM
If you live in a four story walk-up in Greenwich Village do not - I repeat - do not buy a Stromer ST1 under any circumstances.
I'm just throwing that out there.
Here's the thing: I've already ridden and reviewed the electric assist Brompton and Dahon Formula, and these are electric assist folding bikes that brag about their weight and portability. The Stromer ST1 doesn't fold and, at 62 pounds, is around twenty pounds heavier than either of those aforementioned NYCeWheels bikes.
The fact that it doesn't fold was an issue out of the gate, because I couldn't bring it with me on the train if I returned from Manhattan during Metro North peak hours. So I brought it home early one weekday afternoon and was not only able to bring it on the train easily, but I was able to see one of the new and seldom seen Metro North bike racks.
I you eat your Wheaties, you'll be able to bring the bike up and hook it on the rack. When I did this, I heard no creak and because it is still the relative size of a normal bike it did fit.
While sitting next to it on the train ride back, I got to look at the bike in such a way I was able to understand where all of the weight was coming from. The 500W motor in the rear hub. The 36 volt lithium ion battery stowed in the bottom tube. The rear rack and fenders - all of it gives the bike heft.
Still more weight comes from the unusual and optional seatpost A Cane Creek Thudbuster. I've been familiar with these for a while and would write a song about them if I could. Any bike with a hardball aluminum frame (like the Stromer ST1) needs one of these. It just makes a more comfortable ride.
So yes, this is a heavy bike. That can't be sugarcoated. But then again, you get something for all of this heft. To find out what it is, you have to turn the bike on, select the 'Power' mode, and begin pedaling.
With the fat Big Ben tires and the solid frame, the bike doesn't feel like anything other than an electric assist battering ram when riding. Pedaling at a pace that feels like ten miles an hour while the spedometer says you're going double that is a grin-inducer, to be sure. Not only that, but the bike has regenerative braking that puts power back into the battery when you slow down - which is not a common feature.
I'm going to have to put this bike through some paces - including, but not limited, to a hilly, 20+ mile ride. I'll let you know how that goes shortly.
Winter is Coming? Meet the BionX powered Surly Moonlander.
The Mars Rover meets Surly attitude in this space age electric bike.
One of the things I value most in a bicycle is its reliability in any terrain. Even in NYC, you can encounter hills, potholes, gravel, and glass – not to mention spontaneous rain and snow. While sleek city bikes are stylish and lightweight, I don't always feel comfortable taking them too far.
At a glance, you KNOW this won't be an issue with the Surly Moonlander. The tires alone live up to the name — they're big (and I mean BIG — 4.7 inches wide big) and knobby enough to take a joyride on the moon.
BionX D-Series: A match made in heaven
The BionX D-Series motor powered assisted pedaling is a godsend in a bike oriented for rough terrain – the acceleration of the motor is buttery smooth, taking you from 0 to 20mph in seconds. In the stop-and-go streets of Manhattan, I was leading the pack of cars with ease.
Some electric bikes can't handle the speeds reached with a motor helping you out, making the ride feel bumpy and brittle. The Surly Moonlander and the BionX D-Series is a match made in heaven. Thanks to the cushy tires, I was sailing over potholes, glass, curbs, and lawns at over 20MPH and couldn't even tell the difference.
Handling the Moonlander
It's a Surly bike, so the breaking is predictably perfect. They're soft and gradual, unless you slam down on them in an emergency – at which point you stop on a dime.
The only thing more shocking than the massive tires on this bike is how lightweight it is. It's a formidable electric bicycle – easily one of our biggest in the shop – and yet it was one of the lightest electric bikes we own, weighing in at ~45lbs.
During my test tour, I was riding in the slick mud and leaves of Central Park and never found myself slipping or losing control. Even pedaling straight up jagged rock formations was possible!
A Clear Winner
The Surly Moonlander is to all-terrain what the Stromer ST2 is to speed and power: the absolute best in its class. The space-age look and crazy performance is sure to draw attention. Through rain, snow, or some sort of Indiana Jones adventure, the BionX powered Surly Moonlander will not let you down.

Here at NYCeWheels, we're especially proud of the BionX powered Surly Moonlander... because we built it ourselves! Check it out on our online shop – and if you're based in NY, come in for a test ride.
Victoria Foe customer review E3 Metro
These days there are so many different electric bike models to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which is the right one for you. There are ultra fast sporty electric bikes like the Stromer St1 Platinum, lightweight electric folding bikes like the Formula BionX bike, cruisers like the A2b Alva + or affordable best-bike-for-the-price electric bikes like the iZips.
The best way to learn about a bike is to hear directly from someone who purchased one. Here is an email that we got from Victoria, a customer who purchased the iZip E3 Metro, and wanted tell us her thoughts about her new bike:
"Dear Peter et al.,
My iZip 2014 E3 Metro arrived a week ago and I have put well over 100 miles on it. I love its sturdy body, its low center of gravity stability, its large load carrying capacity, the always active on-demand twist throttle and the cadence Pedelec sensing which makes the Metro take off smoother than for my husband's Pedego Commuter.
The Metro replaces my old and now dead LA Free mid-drive e-bike that used torque sensing. That little bike felt more powerful for hill climbing, but I think that is what mid drives are noted for. In all other ways the new Metro is better--including its five or six-fold increase in distance per battery charge.
The 2014 Metro is a beautifully designed e-bike and prefect for my needs, which include an 11 mile RT rural commute plus frequently a side trip into town for groceries. Here is to the no fossil fuels commute!
Thank you.
Victoria F."
We'd like to thank Victoria for sending us this very informative email, and we hope that it will be useful to anyone who has just started looking at the different e-bike models out there. Take it from Victoria, if you want an electric bike that has great range, stability, durability, and a lower price, the iZip 2014 E3 Metro is a great choice!
Reviewing the Brompton Electric Bike
Today, I took the E-Brompton for a spin. It is a fantastic custom electric bike, and initially it doesn't even look electric. The hub motor isn't immediately noticeable and the battery is well stored and hidden in the front bag. Just like on a standard non-electric Brompton, this front bag is still quickly removable. Disconnect the battery from the bike, remove the bag from the carrier block, and you'll be able to charge your battery inside. And don't worry, the battery is in a separate pouch and doesn't take up much room, leaving tons of space for your own luggage.
The Electric Brompton is nimble and powerful
Riding the electric Brompton bike is a breeze. The motor's controls are ultra simple for setting speed and the thumb throttle is very convenient. The whole E-Brompton setup still weighs under 45 lbs, less than many old school steel road bikes I've owned. This definitely takes the Brompton to the next level as a commuting option. With electric assistance, you'll be able to ride longer distances without breaking a sweat, and when you get to work you won't be exhausted and in need of a change of clothing. So fresh and so clean! (clean!).
Does the Electric Brompton still fold?
The electric Brompton bike folds up just as quickly and easily as a non-electric. Although technically you can fold the bike with the bag still attached, I found it easiest to remove the front bag first, just to give myself a little more breathing room.
From here it's all business as usual. Fold the rear wheel underneath the frame via a quick release, unscrew the hinge at the center of the top tube and swing the front wheel to the right and back towards the frame, loosen and fold the handlebar with a few twists, and blammo, your electric bike can fit in your closet or be checked on an airplane.
For a more detailed description of how to fold the Brompton bike with large high resolution pictures, check out this folding bike blog.
Does an electric bike work with gears?
Because the motor is in the front wheel of the Brompton bike, it can be used simultaneously with the gears. The important thing is to use a Brompton that has a high gear range. When you hold down the throttle, the E- Brompton will shoot you forward at 20 mph, and with a single speed Brompton, you wouldn't be able to pedal fast enough to actually engage the transmission. The model I tried was a 3 speed version which has a nice high gear range and worked well in tandem with the motor, allowing me to pedal along comfortably while pushing 20 mph.
A powerful and innovative Electric Bike
The Electric Brompton is one great ride. It has all the convenience of the original Brompton, the same compact fold, the same flawless craftsmanship, with the added power of an electric motor. Anyone who wants an electric bike with great range and power, and needs it be compact enough to fit in their New York apt, the Electric Brompton bike is the way to go.
E-Brompton Banter—Part 11—My Gen-E-ration, by Turbo Bob
Following the timeline of the Who is kind of like following my own, my interest in bikes and that of the E-Brompton. The Who cranked out this wild tune in 1965, just a year after they came together as a band. Said to be one of the top three rock groups of all time, these British rock and rollers are still making history with every appearance. This song is about trying to find a place in society, something many E-Brompton owners might be able to relate to. Then again, why try to fit in when you know you are happy and doing the right thing?
The 60's were a time of enlightenment and turmoil. Adults had mostly turned away from bicycles to embrace the motorcar. What had been a main source of transportation and relaxation for all was mostly enjoyed by the kids during this era. I know this for a fact because I was one of them, and loved the freedom and excitement bikes offered me daily. That was (and is), "My Generation".
As I rode and fixed my bikes, I found other interests through home-made electrical devices and music (among others). My bikes allowed me a chance to be myself, free from boundaries and depending on others. At the time I never envisioned a bicycle with an electric motor, even as I would spend time with my cousin who had built a wagon powered by a salvaged washing machine power plant. He was tethered by a super-long extension cord, something that didn't match my fancy. I was soon to be enamored with stinky, noisy gasoline power, like so many others of my time.
As the 70's began, I was off and running with the two and four wheeled crowd, loving my hot rods and motorcycles. With every visit to one of the local race tracks, competing with roaring exhausts made my dreams of the era come true. It was during this time I earned my nickname building little econo-cars into muscle car stomping machines. I'll never regret those days, but also, I'll never repeat them.
During this decade a man in England was finding the need for a folding bicycle that could change the way we get around. Andrew Ritchie was up and running, getting the name "Brompton Bicycle" a place in two-wheeled history. Even though it only really hit mass-production in the late 80's, Brompton started to get accepted in the bicycle world.
The eighties saw music change, yet the Who stayed true to their fans. This whole 10 year period still saw me high on gasoline, as a mechanic and racer. Bicycles rarely entered my mind as my heavy foot played a different tune. Sure I rode a bike now and then, fixed some for the neighbor kids and kept just the smallest lookout for new trends. Yet if I couldn't fill the tank, it wasn't my kind of ride. Shame on me.
Enter the 90's. Brompton sales and interest started taking off. The Who continued to play to sold-out crowds. Adults got back on their bikes, following a green movement, exercise, freedom and fun. I was one of those adults, getting a Schwinn college bike from a friend in 91. My youth was rediscovered, the thrill was back, I was in love with bikes once again. My cars were idled much of the time as I took my bike more and more places. It was during this time I got my first taste of an E-bike. Crude, yet very eye-opening to be sure.
Into the next 10 years my cycling expanded. I met my wife and she too was so happy to get on two wheels once again. Still with no E-bikes in our horizon, it didn't matter, bicycle riding was fun and smart. We were both like minded in the three R's---Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Before long we were looking for a way to commute by bike. Sure bikes added fun to our lives, but we wanted more.
Enter our E-bikes. After some investigation we got a pair and never looked back.
It was during this time I was reintroduced to folding bikes by NYCeWheels. With a flashy raw lacquer M3L Brompton, I was blown away with everything it offered. (I'm sure you've seen my series of articles, "Boy Gets Brompton"). Bikes are awesome, but one that folds and rides great is incredible. All my past times with riding and repairing folding bikes disappeared in my memory as I found the Brompton had none of the weaknesses and problems of those bikes of old.
NYCeWheels sold their first Brompton back in 2005, and it wasn't long before the founder, Bert Cebular, envisioned mixing his love of it and electric bikes into one. With determination and an experienced crew, the E-Brompton started to take form. Once it was perfected, it became an instant hit. The first one left the sales floor in 2012, with many more to follow. I've been riding mine for over two years and have chronicled my times with it many times here on the NYCeWheels blog sites.
This E-Brompton is so well engineered. Taking the lead from Mr. Ritchie, NYCeWheels moved forward with some great innovations. All the extra components are secure and tucked in as not to affect the fold. The quality and longevity are proved to me with every ride. This E-Brompton has been on several vacations, been ridden by so many first time E-bikers and generally been like a right hand man. If you have been following along with this series of articles then you have half a clue to the way I feel about it.
The E-brompton is a bike for my generation, generations past, present and future too. I am sure with the first ride you will feel the same.
BTW, if you hurry I bet you can still get some tickets to the Who's latest sold-out concert. Turbo Bob.

The A2B Metro – the MoPed Electric Bike
The first thing you notice about the the A2B electric bike is that it looks very sturdy. Big beefy 3 inch tires, disc brakes, thick durable Tig Welded frame, with giant ultra strong rear rack sticking out the back -more than any other electric bike in the shop, the A2B has the look of a Moped.
The most comfortable electric bike
This is not to say that you should try going off jumps and doings flips. The A2B looks more like a gas powered mini motorcycle, but it is more of a cruiser than a racer, more a lover than a fighter. First and foremost, the A2B is just incredibly comfortable. Its seat is wide and cushy, and the handlebars are situated relatively close to you, allowing for a more upright riding position, which puts more weight on your sitting bones and less on your wrists. The front and rear suspension are fantastic, allowing you to glide over bumpy streets and trails as though nothing is there. And the thickness of the frame provides extra durability. Of all the electric bikes I've tried, the A2B is definitely the cushiest.
The A2B is fit with a powerful motor
The A2B is also a very powerful electric bike, fit with a 500W motor and a 36 volt lithium ion battery, which fits nicely inside the down tube out of sight and out of mind. This hi wattage motor is combined with a high torque engine making the A2B Electric Bike great for towing a lot of weight. The A2B which we keep here at the shop has a trailer hitch fitted to it so that we can use it to haul equipment, bikes, and other heavy inventory. Once we folded up three brompton bikes, put them in a cart, and used the A2B to haul them all the way from the shop to an exhibition in Tribeca and back. That's around 25 miles hauling about 300 lbs of weight in total!
Just the right amount of Pizzaz
Because of the thickness of its frame and it's numerous components, the A2B is not one of our ultra lightweight electric bikes. Nevertheless, it has great range, particularly if you attach a second battery to the rear rack, as most savvy riders are wont to do. With two batteries at your disposal, you could potentially ride 40 miles or so before having to recharge.
Often customers ask about which electric bikes are the lightest, or which look and feel most like regular bikes. But what I like about the A2B, is that it embraces its ebikeness. Where most electric bikes have pared down frames to minimize weight and increase sleekness, the A2B lets it all hang out, turning heads with some pizzaz. If you're looking for a bike that's nice and beefy, ultra comfortable, but that still has great power and range, the A2B electric bike can't be beat.
BionX for Beginners
There's no doubt about it, we live in an age of wonders. When I was a kid, I loved science fiction, imagined a future of flying cars, teleportation machines, voice activated George Foreman grills that could produce a perfect medium rare steak in seconds, but it never occurred to me that the tech already existed to super charge my old trek bicycle with an electric motor conversion kit.
Maybe if I had spent less time watching Night Rider and more time reading science magazines I would have seen the electric bike revolution coming. As it is, according to a wiki article on the subject electric powered bikes made up 10 to 20 percent of all two-wheeled vehicles on the streets of many major cities by 2007, and the trend is only just beginning. Earlier this month I watched the first footage of an electric powered flying bicycle. My 8 year old self stands agog.
Powerful electric conversion
The electric conversion kit has got to be one of the most fantastic inventions of the 20th century, and as time goes on, the technology for it gets better and better. One of the most advanced kits on the market is the BionX conversion kit, capable of converting pretty much any regular bicycle into a powerful motorized vehicle capable of 45 miles on a charge and 20 mph top speeds.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
What is the BionX conversion kit? How does it work?
When you convert a bicycle into an electric bicycle using the BionX conversion kit, you replace your rear wheel with a new wheel which has a motor in it. This motor is powered by a Lithium Ion battery which is mounted to the frame of your bicycle, and is activated using a console that is mounted on your handlebars. The battery is easily removable, and comes with a charger that can be plugged into any normal 110 wall socket. It takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the battery. Your bike is still a bike, and you can still pedal it as usual, but now you can press a button and the motor will kick in boosting you along a flat at 20mph, or helping you up those pesky hills.
The BionX uses pedal assist
Some electric bikes use a throttle to activate the motor. In the case of a bike like the A2B Metro, the throttle is on the grip itself, just give a twist and you'll feel the motor kick in, whether or not you happen to be pedaling. On the BionX kit there is a throttle, which exists in the form of a small red button which you push with your thumb, but actually the BionX works best as a "pedal assist" electric bike.
Using the console on your bars, you select one of four levels of assistance ranging low to high, the motor then works in tandem with your pedaling cadence. At the lowest setting, the motor will do about 25 percent of the work for you, at highest, it will boost you along at 20 mph with absolutely no effort required on your part. What results is a system that is more powerful, more efficient, and more intuitive than a throttle activated system.
Are there different types of BionX kits?
There are three different BionX kits. The cheapest is the pl250 conversion kit, which uses a 250 watt motor, and a 26 volt Lithium ion battery. This is the entry level kit, lighter than most other kits on the market and with decent power and range.
The next step up is the pl350 BionX kit. This kit uses a more powerful 350watt motor capable of faster acceleration, and is powered by a larger 36 volt battery for more range and power. This kit one of the most popular as it offers more range and power at a mid range price point - a good meeting point between affordability and high performance.
The last option is the premium Sl350 BionX kit. This is the most advanced BionX conversion kit currently on the market, using a more powerful 48 volt battery for increased range and power, while maintaining a light weight. Including the motor, battery, and console, this kit will only add around 18 lbs to the weight of your bike. This means that if you convert a road bike that only weighs 25lbs to start out with, you'll end up with an electric bike 20 lbs lighter than most other electric bikes on the market.
So there's the basics! Hope this was helpful as an introductory guide. Check out the BionX conversion kit, and see where our future might be taking us.
All the best,

I have had cause to contact eUKhost Ltd. as we're not happy with our current (American) hosting provider. I have nothing but the highest praise for the customer service I have received. In particular, I will single out the staff in the sales and billing departments, all of whom have shown exemplary specialist knowledge and have, moreover, been particularly quick to respond. Unlike our current provider, where waiting times have typically been anything up to an hour, I have been able to talk to a real human being within seconds to discuss and resolve any issues. With this attention to detail and customer service, this company deserves to succeed.

Ninth Floor Beehive: John Key sitting behind large desk with Monopoly board laid out before him, fixating on the utilities. Muffled knock on door, enter Iain Rennie, State Services Commissioner.
OPINION: "Morning Prime Minister."
Key leaps from desk with look of horror on his face. "Who the hell are you and how the hell did you get into my office?"
Rennie rolls eyeballs, puts out his hands in a non-threatening gesture. "Come on, Sir, it's me, Iain Rennie, the State Services Commissioner, remember we met last week."
Key slaps right hand to forehead. "That's right . . . sorry mate, bit of a brain fade. Rennie, that's right. So what are you doing in my office, Iain?"
"Sir, I rang you last week and made an appointment. I'm here to talk about the search for someone to fill the new position."
Key looks nonplussed. "So we talked on the phone last week about a job. Funny, I don't remember that at all. Now if we'd talked on the phone this week about a job, things might be different. But I'm sorry Iain, I've got no recollection. So what job am I going for?"
Rennie laughs sycophantically. "What a jester you are, Boss. No, it's not you going for a job at all, it's that new position we advertised last month, the vacancy we talked about."
Key furrows his brow and looks confused. "Of course we did, remember it well. What was the job description again, Bruce?"
"The name is Iain, sir."
Rennie pulls out a single sheet of A4 from a manila folder and reads: "Applications are invited for the position of Prime Ministerial Memory. Candidates must be prepared to work full or part-time as required. Previous political experience not necessary. The successful applicant will display a high degree of expertise in backroom dealing, surreptitious phone calls and self- serving expediency. If this position sounds like you, please contact Ticket Clipping Recruitment Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charge Like Wounded Bulls Consultancy Group."
Key claps his hands together. "That's fantastic Brian. How did it go? Have you got a shortlist?"
"We were inundated sir. Even got an application from David Shearer's memory. Labour let him go after that New York bank account business. The guy that did recollections for Winston Peters during the Owen Glenn affair threw his hat in the ring and the two chicks who did recall consultancy on Paintergate and Helen Clark's speeding ticket were keen as mustard."
Key laughs. "Well, we're not hiring any of those bastards so what have you got for me?"
"Well, sir, we are about to interview four candidates. All are well capable of doing the job. One of them even headed the vague recollections team for Clinton when the Monica Lewinsky thing went down."
Key fixes Rennie with a steely gaze. "Hang on, back up the bus. Did any of these four go to Burnside High?"
"Not to my knowledge, Sir, no."
The prime minister's mood darkens as Rennie looks concerned. "Did any of their mothers play Bingo with my Mum?"
Rennie starts sweating. "While we didn't ask that specifically, I must admit it is highly unlikely."
Key stares angrily at Rennie. For a full five minutes not a word is spoken, then Key breaks the silence. "So who the hell are you and what are you doing in my office?"
A smile of relief spreads over Rennie's face. "State Services Commissioner Iain Rennie, Sir. Just want to report we haven't been able to find anyone good enough for that new job as your memory and was just wondering if you might know someone who might be interested."
Key strokes his chin. "Yeah, there was this really smart kid a couple of years behind me at creche. I don't remember his name but I've got his mobile number."
A visibly relieved Rennie wipes his brow. "Why don't you give him a tinkle?"
"Great idea," says Key, "Now where did I leave my phone?"

Watch Tom Holland and Joel Kinnaman in Tense Trailer For 'Edge of Winter'
The stars of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Suicide Squad" headline the indie thriller about a family day trip that goes very, very wrong.
The stars of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Suicide Squad" headline the indie thriller about a family day trip that goes very, very wrong.
For its Las Vegas presentation, Sony Pictures called in the big guns, including Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland and the "Ghostbusters" cast.
Drawing inspiration from history, "Moby Dick" and "Jaws," director Ron Howard somehow bungles one of the greatest survivor stories ever told.
The young actor, who'll be seen next year in Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War," takes center stage in this trailer for the historical thriller.
The "Thor" star is joined by Tom Holland, Ben Wishaw and Brendan Gleeson in director Ron Howard's historical thriller.
Directed by Ron Howard, the historical thriller recounts the real events that inspired "Moby Dick."
Also starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattinson, the adaptation of David Grann's novel began filming today in Belfast.
The actor will squeeze in the indie thriller before beginning production on Warner Bros.' "Suicide Squad."
Naomi Watts and Tom Holland offer a stunning look at survival in The Impossible, a film that starts with a remarkable look at two peoples' hard won fight to stay alive, but eventually veers uncomfortably close to standard movie plotting.

Muskego High School could join the list of area schools which are doing random drug tests.
Drug tests of students are already performed at Pewaukee and Arrowhead high schools, and the Muskego-Norway School Board on Monday reviewed those schools' procedures as they apply toward athletes, club members and co-curricular activity participants, and those students with school parking permits.
While random tests of those students has been found constitutional, testing throughout the student body is believed to be unable to withstand a constitutional challenge.
The board tentatively plans to discuss the issue again March 17 when more will be known about the procedures the two schools use for the testing.

The mixed martial arts and professional wrestling worlds were up in arms after Brock Lesnar attended UFC 146 in Las Vegas over Memorial Weekend.
Well, it wasn't just that Lesnar attended the event; it was more UFC president Dana White revealing that he was meeting with the former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE performer after the show.
Everyone immediately jumped to the conclusion that the meeting was about Lesnar inquiring about a possible return to the UFC.
That very well could be, but Lesnar just signed a one-year, multi-million dollar contract with the WWE and is playing up an angle where he is unhappy with the contract and suing the professional wrestling giant… which very well could have led to White's statement in his post-fight interview with Fuel TV on Saturday night.
When asked about his meeting with Lesnar, White said, "It was probably one of the worst meetings we've ever had with Brock Lesnar and I honestly have not talked to him since."
Now, as contentious is Lesnar can be, White and Fertitta have typically worked well with the WWE superstar.
"It was the worst meeting I've ever had with Brock Lesnar. It was me and Lorenzo. In my opinion, it couldn't have gone worse," he added.
Lesnar's appearance at UFC 146 and the subsequent meeting with White and Fertitta could have been part of the WWE superstar's pro wrestling angle, whether or not the UFC brass knew anything about it going into the meeting.
Maybe it was all staged for Lesnar to sell his WWE lawsuit, acting like he was interested in coming back to the UFC. It would seem a bit out of character for White and Fertitta to actively take part in such an angle, but it wouldn't be all that off the wall for Lesnar and "legal advisor" Paul Heyman to have met with White and Fertitta in an attempt to further the storyline they'd conjured up for WWE.
Regardless of why the meeting went down or the intent behind it, don't expect Brock Lesnar back in the Octagon any time soon, unless White and Fertitta are willing to make him the King Mo of the UFC and WWE.

Review: Air Quality Duct Cleaners, Inc.
Posted in the Altamonte Springs Forum
1 - 2 of 2 Comments Last updated Dec 12, 2010
#1 May 21, 2010
DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! It is all a big scam. They get out there for a low price cleaning and a free AC check - this is where they scam you into saying you have mold and other problems and you need a lot of work to 'clean your air'. They were trying to sell me a UV light for $700 but then some how I qualified for a 42% discount with them knowing nothing about me. After telling the guy no numerous times he wanted me to name my own price - very fishy. Then after he left my air did not work. They would not get anyone else back out until midmnight - so I had the house at 86 degress and called my own AC company in the morning. They said the way they turned my AC back on blew out my breaker. So I had to pay to get that fixed. This company is very rude - they hung up on my twice. I also asked the AC guy about a UV light - he said I don't need one but if I want one they are about $100 - so glad I didn't fall for their tricks!
#2 Dec 12, 2010
Wish I had seen this review. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They have deceptive sales practices. They tell you one price over the phone and then give you a bill for 5x the amount without any dialog about what they are doing. Avoid!
