Those are the kind of modifications that are making states pass laws restricting electric bikes. If you want to go fast without pedaling, buy a motorcycle.

There's a Nassau County in NY right next to NYC, but there's also one in Florida.

Depending on what it's going into, the right size deep socket and a hammer are often all you need. The 6902 is a standard number, but every manufacturer uses their own codes for the suffix. It can denote the type of seals or shields, cage type, grease type, number of balls, stuff like that.

MIG welding thinwall tubing can be done, but it's tricky. There's a fine line between adequate penetration and burning through, which is why TIG or gas welding is preferred. With MIG or TIG, you will need to stress relieve it with a torch afterward or you'll be asking for cracks. In the...

My Radster Trail is class 3 / 28mph.

Nowadays a medium is probably the same amount of food that a small was 10 years ago. Instead of raising prices, reduce the portion size. It's not that they hate vegetarians, it's about maximizing profits. I avoid all fast food places, I like real food.

You think EBR has a team of operators standing by to answer every request? 😁 Sorry to disappoint, but it's a part time gig run by a volunteer who has a life. New member approvals may take a week, but requests to close an account may take 25 years or more.

That isn't an ebike; that IS a motorcycle. Please keep it off public roads unless it's registered and insured. The legal crackdowns these fast pseudo "ebikes" are causing hurt all legit ebike riders.

My wife is 5'0" tall. The ONLY ebike she could find that she could fit on and safely ride was a Zugo, which does not have an adjustable saddle. It has a thumb throttle but she never uses it, though I'm trying to get her to understand how it can help. Throttles enhance safety, as they help you...

My question is what will happen to visitors from other states, where not only are ebikes not required to be registered or insured but there's no way to do so. Many RVers, including my wife and I, bring ebikes for local transportation after parking their camper at a campground. I would think NJ...

I also get the impression that most of the Rad line, with the exception of their new Radster models, seems kind of primitive compared with many of the newer offerings from other manufacturers. But that's just an impression from when I was shopping for a bike for myself; the Radster I bought is...

This is my great grandfather's monkey wrench. Not sure what he used it for, he had a livery and transport business (horse drawn). A little larger than a typical small airplane tool but just what I needed to loosen the oil breather elbow.

Mine is clearly the Model B. I also have several unknown brand monkey wrenches (what they call "automobile wrenches") of various sizes which I still use.

I can't say I've actually used this on a bike, but this little monkey wrench is (I believe) from the toolkit included with Pierce Arrow bicycles, made by Billings & Spencer, around 100 years old. They also made motorcycles and cars but my understanding is that the "B" marked short wrenches...
