I came across this YouTube video showing a clever way to load & unload a folding e-bike with no lifting involved:

I've had good luck here in the east running Schwalbe Marathon+ flat resistant tires with liners and Flat-Out sealant. No goat heads around here though thankfully.

Welcome to the forum and I'm glad you're on the mend from your operation! You would get better answers if you post your bike make & battery manufacturer. Also post pictures if you can.

I use these guys at Bicycle Motor Works in Bethlehem, PA: https://www.bicyclemotorworks.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqhiTalGf8pGPVRSinoXQYaz7rRUeMKF79Z9p6d9M3vXZzgKk4K They are local to me so I can avoid shipping & tariff problems. Talk to Mike Bzura at 484-793-2541 with questions, or for custom work.

When shopping for an e-bike, I wasn't able to find one with everything I wanted. I eventually found one with most of my requirements except the handlebars. The OEM bars were the "moustache" back swept cruiser style which were too low and quite uncomfortable. After some experimentation, I...

Yes, it shortens the total charge time from 6 hours to 4.5. It isn't clear whether it shortens battery life or not. It should be noted however that the Satiator charger is expensive, and costs about half that of a new battery.

Volumes have been written here on the proper care and feeding of Lithium batteries. I have yet to see a "rule of thumb" that applies to every e-bike battery. There are too many variables involved to make such a pat statement. Battery chemistry & capacity, case & BMS design, cell type, the...

I swear the engineers who design, and the regulators who pass the laws, never use these "safety" gas cans. I just gave up on cans designed for gas and use these potable water jugs instead...

Did a 45 mile ride on Pennsylvania's Armstrong and Redbank Trails Saturday. The Canadian wildfire smoke had cleared and it was a beautiful sunny day on the Allegheny River. I made the trip specifically to see the recently reopened Brady Tunnel. At just 2468', it isn't that long but it is...

Camming out with Philips when installing is one thing, but having it happen when trying to remove the fastener can leave you, pardon the expression, "screwed" :rolleyes: I've had great luck with this Milwaukee impact driver. It's never failed to remove any type fastener with a stripped head...

As mentioned above, you might be able to find a replacement online, but your best bet would be to contact the bike maker. If you are proficient with fine wire soldering, you could also make up a replacement harness by buying individual pigtail connectors like these...

Those Wellsboro & Corning RR tracks are actually still in use. The trail is being constructed on the right side of the rails. Those rail conversions do look like fun but like where you are, most are still in use around here. Too much $$ in scrap iron to leave in place after the RR goes belly up.

The truck is parked inside a garage so it doesn't matter.

Made my usual mid summer ride on Pennsylvania's Pine Creek Trail this week. The days were hot & humid but I hit the trail early to beat the heat. Work is progressing on the trail extension into Wellsboro with the 1.3 mile paved portion complete from the trailhead at the restored train...

My bikes live in the back of my pickup in an unattached garage. That way, the bikes are ready to go on a moments notice. The rack & bike slide out of the bed if I need the truck for another purpose. The batteries are stored separately in another heated / cooled garage.
