    User Selectable E-Bike Class.

    Thx for giving me something else to worry about, over the air updates for my Velotric D3. And here I was zipping around in Custom mode, loving the responsiveness, trying out gravel trails, not a worry in the world. Wish I believed that couldn’t happen.

    Versatile rack bag

    Euphree makes nice liners for their baskets, with a ton of flaps and pockets. Surely somebody has to look at that and think,"Hmmm, what if I made a rack bag to fit lots of models?"

    Versatile rack bag

    Not sure if this bag would work for me, but I hadn't thought about color coded small bgs, been using Ziplocs. Thx.

    Versatile rack bag

    Looking for a rear rack bg that has interior pockets and pouches, not just the one flap and a large hole. Will use on my Velotric Discover3 with a MIK rack, I have adapter plate. Anyone know of something like this?

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    Update - contacted by a detective from Boulder, he saw a pic of - apparently - my bike on the phone of a thief he busted, tracked me down thru Bike Index, says he believes they will find buyer and recover (not holding my breath). Bike was distinctive for color - bright cyan - and had Suntour...

    Photochromic sunglasses - yes or no?

    Found the best solution for me is amber goggles - love my Kroop’s. Have to squint a bit, but I’m an old fart and slowing down so I can see better doesn’t bother me much, it’s a fact of life.

    Which Pace have cadence sensors or dual sensors?

    Doesn't the Breeze offer ability to select Loced/Unlocked for throttle in the display, as they advertise for Discover? Do you still get the lag in an unlocked mode?

    Think the tuning is for amount of torque per power setting.

    Winter Riding Gloves

    Try covering the bar end not your hands, then you just need light gloves. I use Bar Mitts from https://barmitts.com/, ride most days without gloves, light Thinsulate types if it's really cold - when I'm probably not riding anyway! Tried to attach photo but rejected because too big to process.

    Tire Liners

    I am a flat magnet; the goatherds lie in wait and jump into the path in front of me, like the nails, screws and various fragments of glass and wood and plastic. I also live in a bike shop desert and have physical limits that keep me from fixing my own flats, costs $80 for transport to shop. So...

    Did you try custom tuning the torque settings? Just seems to me that with that many options I should be able to find a combo that will work for me. or for her.

    How much is nearby dealer worth?

    My Velo D1 got stolen so I'm in the market for a new bike, riding a low-end Amazon special for transport in the interim and hoping nothing breaks. I'm looking at a D2, and the Ride1Up Vorsa with similar features caught my eye. The D2 would basically be $2k out the door from a semi-local...

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    My routine for a STOP was always 1. Lock bike 2. Remove helmet, etc. 3. Recheck lock is securely locked. 4. Leave In such a hurry I skipped 3, the most important step. I was really happy with the D1, like the improvements Velotric made so the D2 is most likely - but it will take 5-6 me months...

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    My Velotric Discover 1 was set up just the way I wanted, Jones H-Bar 2.5 Loop, Suntour suspension seat post, Tannus Armor/slime in tires/tubes, front and rear baskets. And a nice Foldylock. And it was stolen while I was at Dr ofc. Looking at video it appears I didn't secure it properly. Dude...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Tons of Rad bikes on FB Marketplace for $5-800, thinking about picking one up. I don't drive, travel by e-bike for 6+ years. I had a Velotric I loved but it was stolen, I'm poor and could only afford a $450 36v bike from Amazon, it's less than ideal Wondering if I should risk battery probs...
