Thanks for posting this and thank you for your concern for this. We too have been working real hard on trying to get legislation passed. Last year we were in Albany giving test rides to legislators and they were very supportive. There wasn't enough support last year though and the bill died...

I'll be going for my first time this year. I'm arriving on the 23rd and coming back on the 30th. Let me know if you guys want me to check anything out for you while I'm there. It looks like the 2014 exhibitor list isn't up yet though.

Great to see some Haibike love on here! I've been evangelizing their brand since I first rode one last year at Interbike. The quality and refinement of the drive and the bikes is beyond anything else in the market. Definitely share some pics and video!

Just reaching out to see if anyone plans to go to Eurobike? I'm probably going on my own and just wanted to see if any other Ebike enthusiasts are interested in sharing a space for a week. I have a potential apartment I can rent at a very reasonable rate. PM me if anyone's interested.

I'm thinking about picking up some of these Sure Seal Connectors. They seem like they will do the trick pretty well, anyone have any experience with them?

We just put a BBS02 on a Big Dummy for the shop which seems to fit rather well. Could be something to consider. Falco is also working with Xtracycle on a motor option for the Edgerunner and their torque sensor is contained in the motor so it solves the issues with fitting a cadence sensor.

I have been experimenting with the 5KW 3 chainwheel kit on a Fat Bike and it's really quite. I should be posting some Videos up here soon, it's just been wicked cold here lately. It certainly seems GNG is favored on ES, but I wouldn't totally rule out Cyclone. It's a little overkill for most...

OP Welcome to the forum. I have been working with Falco for a couple of months now and it's a great system. It's certainly more expensive than kits on eBay and the like, but IMO totally worth the price. I have been testing a Surly Long Haul Disc Trucker 700c w/ a torque sensored 500w Falco Motor...

Focus Bikes uses this system, I just recently came across it myself. I was quite impressed with that when I saw it. That with a Nuvinci Harmony and you can have a super smooth system. By the way the Harmony is only available to OEM's, but they might open it up to some dealers. I really hope they do.

Kepler - I'm all for this system, looks excellent! I would definitely buy a couple and I imagine it would be something we can support going forward. We set these up on a couple of bikes thus far and we have been very happy with the results, it would be nice to have a clean solution for FS bikes...

I had a similar issue on a Easy Motion Neo 29er when the torque sensor wire was severed. After receiving several replacements from BH North America we ended up having to swap the controller. It seems there are different models of the TMM sensor and they don't all work with the same controllers...

Most renters and home owners insurance will cover you, although it's recommended to call them to confirm what they will and will not cover. They generally have a deductible, but that could be covered by Kryptonite if you purchase the proper lock for your are and register your bike with them...

I'm not in NJ, but I'm fairly close (Long Island). I'd be happy to assist you if you don't find someone closer to you we sell and install Bionx and several other conversion systems, including Falco, which could be of interest to you http://www.falcoemotors.com/, they have a similar offering...

It might make sense to contact the Australia distributor http://bhbikes.com.au/ in my experience they are pretty good with their warranty support here in the US. The Neo models here have a 5 year warranty on everything aside from the battery, which has a 2 year warranty. I don't have too much...

Sorry for the misinformation guys. Still learning all this new technology. Chris
