What was the material of the homemade mud flap?

My bike had the rack as standard. @MetroDuck if you get the basket, send us a picture!

Congrats!! I have a metro+ and it's very similar to the Ui6.

I had no issues. I keep my tire pressure between 55 to 60psi with my stock tires. Then again, most of my rides are on smooth asphalt.

I am on the heavy side which may be a factor in speed. On the website, Magnum says 28mph with a range of 30 to 60 miles. However, for me, real-world top speed is 24mph with a range of 40+ miles if I stay on PAS level 1.

I have the metro plus. I like it very much -- I use it mostly on smooth trail runs and jaunts to the grocery store.

Why a 'but'? Surely a 1000W middrive is better than a 1000W hubdrive?

Riding from Arlington VA to Vienna via Washington & Old Dominion Trail with @christob and we stopped in front of a mural.

I learned a bit from that trip with @christob -- get a water bottle. While I have had water bottles on my past trips I always felt it was optional. I had this hare-brained idea that if I have an e-bike, there is no need for water since you wouldn't really need it. WRONG! Always have water...

Why the need to fold? To fold into a car trunk or for the bike to take a smaller footprint in the subway? For me, I don't have a need for the bike to fit in the car trunk. I like the Haibike Radius Tour (see this link https://electricbikereview.com/haibike/radius-tour/ ), where you can fold...

Have you checked out Magnum bikes? My magnum bike is 500W and it's plenty (non-fat tire kind). I am a 6'2" 250lb guy and I can get around just fine with 500W. Why do you need 750W? You need fenders? lights? rack?

I agree that the no Motor Vehicles allowed means cars, mopeds and motorcycles *OR* anything that runs on gasoline.

@Kurt in CT I checked out the URG lights -- it has both 'flash' and 'strobe' -- what's the difference? Aside from that, I have a Magnum Metro+ and I love it. Helpful tidbit: If you're climbing stairs with the bike, first set the PAS to zero, THEN use the 'walk mode' of the bike to climb...

Stealthy! Unless I really looked hard, the red bike didn't look like a e-bike!

Hi, the idea of 'rear wheel off the ground for flats, chain maintenance etc' with a plastic pipe is intriguing. But when you prop it up, what keeps it from falling over on the other side?
