Go to your Local Bike Shop and rent a Vado for a day. My wife and I are 63 yo and each have one. When I was younger I did two Century’s one year on an old school road bike, but those days are gone.
You will love the Vado. Also try out a Creo.
Ebay has a lot of great used listings.
I bought both lights from a seller on EBay for my wife and my Creos. The 300 is bigger in size and light output. I’m only looking for “be seen” lights and not nighttime lights. Anyone have experience with the Ravemen lights? I really like how they mount under my computer using the...
Yea, that’s not going to be street legal either. It needs to have a VIN and pass all the DOT safety inspections before it can be ridden on the road. Another impound and destruction, hopefully.
Several young people have been killed or have killed people on these in CA. In Orange County, CA...
I live in CA. That’s an electric motorcycle. It must be ridden on the street, however it’s not legal to ride on the street because there’s no legal headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signals, registration or license plate. These are all Department of Transporation requirements.

Making a bunker out of cement block and pavers is going to be your best bet. It’s cheap, moveable, and you can just let the fire burn out inside the bunker. It will also vent so an explosion won’t occur. Putting it in an area that you can open to the fresh outside air would be best, such as...
Build a cement bunker out of cement block and pavers. It will cost you less than $20. Lowe’s has everything you need and it will take you less than 1/2 hour as you just stack them together.
Anyone thought that there are a lot more E-bike injuries and fatalities because there are a lot more E-bike riders than acoustic bike riders?
Everyone rides an Ebike now, and rides it a lot further than they would ride a regular bike. Also, the idiot kids on the Surrons and similiar are...
My wife had that same bike for her first e-bike. They make a white basket that attaches to the handlebars with a quick release. It was the first thing she bought for it.
Thanks for the advice guys.
I took a picture of the stem then went to the LBS and the manager immediately saw that I didn’t have a spacers under the stem. He showed me how to install them, which was easy. He said that I could even flip the stem over because it’s a -6. Flipping it would...
When I got back from my analog bike rides and was thrashed for the rest of the day, we bought our first e-bikes. We bought two Vado 4.0 and loved them, still do. They are our go-to bikes for everything and our travel bikes as we fitted them both with panniers.
Fast forward a couple years...
My wife rides a 2025 XS size Creo 2. She doesn’t like leaning forward quite so much when her hands are in the hoods near the brakes and shifters. I called my Specialized LBS this morning looking for a different stem that would sit her more upright. The LBS said that because of the Future...
Some more info in case anyone was wondering
We just fitted my wife’s XS Creo 2 onto the trainer. It needed just one of the supplied rear axle spacers on the left side of the rear wheel and I needed to turn and adjust the orange Cog. The orange Cog has a small adjustment feature in it. By...
Im assuming that your friends have the original Core, with a cassette. They could use that with Rouvy or MyWhoosh and change gears like you would do on an actual road ride, I think. The interaction with the video wouldn’t be perfect, but the interaction with the Core 2/Clickers/Cog isnt...
