    How an Electric Motorbike Made LA Feel Smaller, Easier and More Fun

    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...

    How an Electric Motorbike Made LA Feel Smaller, Easier and More Fun

    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. The...

    Ebike Battery Safety: Storage and Charging at Home

    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...

    Spooked by recent recalls - Are these battery charging cabinets worth the investment?

    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.

    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    Using the throttle to get moving from a stop, uses a lot of battery. Try pedaling to get moving from a stop and see if the range changes.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    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...

    Builder gone to the dark side.

    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.

    2025 Creo 2 New Taller Stem?

    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...

    Help deciding when to switch to an ebike?

    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...

    2025 Creo 2 New Taller Stem?

    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...

    Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift

    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...

    Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift

    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...

    Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift

    Yea I’m 63 y/o and I’m realizing that I’m not tech savvy at all. The kid from my LBS had my Ipad and his phone playing at the same time, watching videos and pressing buttons on my Clickers all at the same time. I wanted to see what he was doing in case I ever had connection problems, but I...

    Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift

    Morning Stephan, it’s early here and just having my coffee. You cannot brake and I’m not sure about other functions as Im just learning about Zwift. When the video is playing, the riders “ride through” you and you through them. The video isnt perfect. I don’t know about crashing yet lol...
