I grew up in Oakland and saw quite a few concerts at Berkeley Community and Zellerbach. I was a high school senior in '69 when a buddy and I cut classes to check out the People's Park demonstrations on Bloody Thursday and got caught up in a police sweep/mass arrest. I started at UC Berkeley that Fall and lived through the ROTC and Cambodian Incursion riots. I watched the 1970 draft lottery on TV in the Student Union with great apprehension. Memorable times...

@psavar975 ай бұрын
I think the gearing is actually one of his only gripes with the five star being setup to let you pedal along at 35+mph no gohsting if you want but it is not as great at letting you pedal yourself up steeper hills without reliing 100% on the motor to push you up. Kinda a give and take and this leans on the high speed side of the scale if i understand right. He on his last five-star switched the rear gear casette stack for one with a larger biggest gear and that helped. I plan to do the same mod when i recieve my bike at hopefully the end of this week...

@@psavar97Good to know. At the Expo Gator had mentioned that after 28 m.p.h. one may start to notice ghost pedaling. I wouldn’t have the knowledge to do what you said, but I’m sure a bike shop could do it(granted many of them don’t want to work on other than their own). Even though I could only ride up to 20 m.p.h. there even at that speed I felt the difference with the torque sensor. Just not majorly.

I’ve ridden from emeryville to treasure island and then ferry to embarcadero, then over golden gate up to Marin and back on the other ferry, another good ride. The port of Oakland thing is an urban legend, though, they’re just based on elephants. Have you tried taking the dual star up the summit trail on Mount Diablo? (Not the asphalt, the dirt) there’s a few sections with a 25% grade. The bike I tried it with crapped out after a mile of climb and I had to huff it back to Diablo Vista. That was some work on a toasted e-bike.

@jasonx7803 I have gone up the fire trails to the top of Mt Diablo but on my Soecialized Turbo Levo, I wouldn't attempt it on a hub drive ebike. I might do the ferry to SF at some point and do a loop around the city. I used to take BART or park but not a fan of either of those options these days

Yeah fair, I was doing it on a mid drive, but they sent an incompatible chainring with it (which I managed to work around by inverting the inner sprocket) but I had already ground down some of the casing with the original mounting. I don’t want to call out the manufacturer since this might not be an issue caused by them (the retailer offered a smaller chainring as an option and I wanted the torque, but it was meant for a smaller motor of theirs, not a supported config. Retailer admitted they shouldn’t have sold it that way, so they say they’re gonna fix/replace it, we’ll see) Once I get another I may try again but that’s gonna be a while. :/

Avoid this company! Here is the conversation I had with David Cleveland regarding my order! His exact response after I told him I was going to report him to the FTC was "Ok I appreciate your candor. I'm at your mercy." Nothing about stealing my money or giving me back what was owed to me. He originally agreed to a refund and here is his exact phrase that he texted me after I requested a refund. "Will talk to Rachel". (this is the office manager). "She agreed". "You are banned from ever buying from me again. Good luck in biking adventures. God bless you." This was followed with a video of a Wired step through that someone is shaking to imitate the wobble. I was not going to purchase the step through so it wasn't even a comparable bike. Also, he banned me from purchasing bikes he doesn't have and can't get. That's why I filed with the FTC for the two bikes I ordered. Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully avoid going through what I have.
