February's Electric Bike Report T-Shirt Winner: Steve from Florida
This months Electric Bike T-shirt winner is Steve from Tampa Bay, Florida! Steve won the T-shirt by becoming a member of the EBR community.
Steve runs an electric bike store in the Tampa Bay area. He has just started logging all of his commute miles on his website.
I think that is a cool idea and I have been kicking around the idea of setting up a page on Electric Bike Report where we could share how many miles we are putting in on our electric bikes on a monthly basis. What do you think? Please leave your comments below.
Here is a place to find cycling computers to track your miles.

Hi Pete
I think a e-bike riders page is an excellent idea. I feel that there are alot of us that are still lurking with an e-assist purchase because of questions concerning maintance – durability – user freindlyness – durability – – expected wear and tear of parts – – what size for what use – – best bang for the buck purchase – durability – – ease of self installation – – durability – – when to go to a professional installer for help – durability – – ohh – -did I mention durability “wink”. Long term mileage reports would greatly help with these for mentioned questions.
Great website Pete ~
Hi Lonnie,
Thanks for your comment! I will see what I can do to set up an area on the
site where people can provide commentary or reports on their experiences
with bikes and other products that they are using.
The more people see what we are actually doing mileage wise on our E-bikes, the more that they will be convinced that E-bikes are really practical and useful!! In 2008 June to October), I used my 2 recumbent bikes(only one was electric at that time, now both are) that a tank of gas(10 gal) lasted 4 1/2 months!! I use my bikes for >90% of my trips.
Frank, That is great! Keep spreading the word about E-bikes.
