I'm looking for a heavy-duty kickstand for my 20" Fat e-Bike which weighs 60 pounds. The regular kickstands I've used just aren't durable enough. It mounts with 2 bolts (see photo). I currently live in Phuket, Thailand so it would have to be shipped there (unless you know of a local source)...

I have a 20” foldable fat bike and am looking for durable, puncture-resistant 4” tires. I ride mainly on paved roads and do a little offroad by the beach, etc. A hybrid tire would be ok. I ride daily as I use the ebike as my main source of transportation. And i live in Thailand so I need to...

Thanks! My budget is $50 or less, but I'm flexible. I PM'd you.

I have a 48V 10 AH LiFePo4 (Lithium iron phosphate) battery and need to buy a charger for it. Which one(s) would you recommend or good outlets to buy them from? Would it be best to buy a charger which is especially made for LiFePo4 batteries or does it make much of a difference? It needs to...

I want to buy a 20" foldable electric bike to get around in Thailand. That way I could bike around locally and also put the ebike on trains, buses, ferries, minivans, etc. If you could recommend various e-bikes and features you think would be good to have, I'd appreciate it. And also if you...

I need a throttle, too.

I want to buy a 20" foldable electric bike to get around in Thailand. That way I could bike around locally and also put the ebike on trains, buses, ferries, minivans, etc. Do you know of some sources where I could buy such a bike in Thailand or Southeast Asia? Or have it shipped there from a...

The Vello is scheduled to come out sometime in February. I'll be very curious what Court comes up with when he evaluates the bike! -Richard

Thanks for all the tips! Thanks for all the tips!. I hadn't thought about chin straps but that makes a lot of sense. And researching about all this stuff, some devices are made of a material which is soft most of the time but stiffens upon impact. This would be particularly useful like for...

That's good to know. Thanks! I hadn't considered that it would be awkward peddling with knee pads. But there's gotta be some knee pad that would sorta work ok, you'd think. And I'll factor in what you said about collarbones.

I'm realizing it's a good idea to be proactive while ebiking. Does anybody have any suggestions about buying knee guards? Something fairly light that can give reasonable protection for the knees if you fall off and hit the pavement. Also any other gear you recommend like for elbows, ankles...

My foldable ebike will be mainly for street use, including hills. Will be used primarily for exploring and recreational use in foreign travel. I am a male, 5’ 7”, and weigh 150 pounds. My budget is $2,000 but have some flexibility. There are many mass-produced foldable ebikes to choose from...

I have a 48-volt rear-hub non-geared motored ebike assembled from a kit with 5-level PAS and a throttle. I'd like to add a regenerative braking system (ideally a 4-level system) to my ebike. I want a regen braking system so I won't have to ride my brakes so much while going down steep hills. I...
