    DJI vs Bosch vs Pinion: Unbelievable Difference!!

    I dealt with DJI for 6 painful months when I had an issue with a drone. As far as customer service goes they were very difficult to deal with. For this reason alone I probably would never consider buying another one of their products.

    Trunk Bag for 2022 Turbo Vado

    I bought the Ortleib Trunk bag RC and it arrived yesterday. It has a roll closure top secured with velcro. It comes standard with a MIK adaptor fitted that just needs adjustment to fit your rear rack. I'll really only be using this for commuting to work and the main reason I chose this...

    How do you all use your E-BIKES? Do you go out riding with friends or do you enjoy the experience on your own?

    Car Rack For Step Over

    2" hitch that fits into the tow bar slot. I'm more concerned about the bike rather than the rack. The rack is heavy duty capable of holding 4 bikes, so weight of my 1 bike isnt the issue. My concern is for the top tube of the bike and any potential issues it may cause the frame. I cant attach...

    Car Rack For Step Over

    Hi guys, I have an older style car rack that supports/suspends the bike via the top tube only. Would you recommend this type of rack for transporting my commuter no more approximately 10kms (sealed roads) ? My bike weighs approx. 22kgs without the battery. Do you think it will damage the frame...

    Ready To Buy ... I Think Ive Narrowed It Down??

    It's a hub drive. I hear what you're saying regarding quality materials. Looking at the spec list though names of components appear familiar - Shimano, Bafang, Suntour, LG. This is what piqued my interest in regards to this model. I've searched local forums for info but these are a new model...

    Ready To Buy ... I Think Ive Narrowed It Down??

    G'day guys, my first post here. Having never owned an ebike I thought Id ask the question here. I've been researching for a couple of weeks now for a bike I can commute to and from work with. The ride is roughly 30km each way, a few hills probably only rising 40 metres in elevation. Its probably...
