Just was looking to replace the wife's City. It has just under 12,000 miles and is running really well yet. The problem for her is that we moved to FL and ride with a fast group that the City can't keep up with. The possible replacement: The Emotion Evo City Nitro is a class 3 bike with a...

It is early in the riding season here in Wisconsin due to the crappy rainy cold start, but we are back on the bikes. Both bikes have over 3000 miles now. The Neo City developed a very strange creak sound that turned out to be the frame flexing just enough to chirp against the front edge of the...

Okay, that map is pretty nice! Your work?

Roger; On the TB. They are great for on road as well. They really smooth out the ride which helps us ride further and probably faster. Just kinda expensive, but as a fraction of the bike, not so bad. Best Regards, Tom

Well, we now are over 2700 miles for the season and can report the bikes are running well. They still run 22-28 miles on a charge depending on speed, wind and the hills of the ride. The forks on the Neo City now creak/squeak unless the seals are given a shot of oil before the ride. One flat...

Eddie; I don't understand the loose battery issue. On our two NEOs, the locking key cams the battery down firmly into place. If yours is loose, I would sure think the dealer should be able to fix or replace the 'durn thing. Tom

We have passed 1500 miles now. The batteries still give us 20 to 27 miles using 'eco assist. We have to charge the batteries and occasionally clean the chains; thats it. Other electric assist bicycles are starting to show up in my neighborhood. One Prodeco Phantom X and one NEO 29er. I have...

They are planning to offer an upgraded 36v 12 ah battery for the 2014 season per an email from a Tech guy at Emotion dated 7/11/2013. No notion on the cost yet though. The current stock battery doesn't live up to the big miles they advertize. We get 20 to 27 miles in hilly country with the...

LTZ470; I would have liked having the Jumper, but just couldn't afford the thing. I would expect your experience with battery life to be about what I get minus the penalty for having the more aggressive tires of the Jumper. I really appreciate the lock out forks for standing up on hills. I...

We are at 800 miles now. The City has needed one replacement pedal. The Cross has not needed anything except a chain lube. For giggles, I changed the tires to Kenda Tendrils. I am not sure they roll any better than the stock tires, but are a little lighter. The City is still getting 20 to...

An update: The City is getting 30 miles on a charge in hilly country with a 110# rider mostly set on eco assist with the occasional std assist. She still has 10-20% normally left on the battery at 30. The Cross gets the 30 miles with me (175#) using the eco assist (there are four levels of...

Our 2013 Neo City looks like this. Coming soon is a Thudbuster for the seat post.

Good Afternoon... That is the one, thanks! I attached a picture of our City with the fenders etc removed below. The bikes brought to the USA are all 350 watts. I think the Euro bike is limited to 250??

Here in western Wisconsin, the local dealer for Prodeco complains of slow delivery, but he gets bikes. I bought a different brand from this dealer, but the Prodeco seemed like a decent choice. Rode well. (Stride white 500) with what seemed like a good battery.

Two more things. The City had the rear wheel bearings start making noise after about 30 miles. Factory gave me a new wheel. This replacement also had wheel bearing noises after about 50 miles. The dealer gave me a new wheel. I checked with Company and was advised that they had a batch of...
