It makes sense that you moved on from the Lectric XP Trikes after the axle issues and back discomfort. The Meet One Touring Trikes, with full suspension, twin motors, twin batteries, and reverse, sound like a much better fit for your needs. Enjoy your new trikes when they arrive!

A solar generator could work for your situation, especially for running internet, TV, and a small fridge, and it has the advantage of being quiet and fume-free. However, runtime depends on battery capacity and sunlight, so cloudy days or high loads could be a problem. Fridge compressors have...

Thanks for the detailed review. The Ori sounds like a surprisingly powerful and well-balanced electric dirt bike. That 9kW peak and strong torque on such a lightweight frame must make it really fun on trails. The battery range is impressive too, and 100 km on a charge is more than enough for...

I haven’t used the Fox Union Canvas shoes, but riders generally say they have good grip and are a solid upgrade over newer Five Tens.

That’s a smart and practical approach. Wrapping the nylon strap around the steering stem allows safe towing while letting the rider release quickly if needed. It seems especially useful for kids or tired riders, and your experience shows it works well on varied terrain.

Higher recumbent e-bikes are generally easier to mount and dismount than low models. You can hold the brakes, swing your leg over, and settle slowly into the seat. Once stationary, their low center of gravity makes them quite stable, so tipping over is uncommon. Starting and stopping takes a bit...

The DMO2 motor is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust torque response, display settings, and many other parameters. Features like cruise control and programmable battery display give a personalized riding experience far beyond standard off-the-shelf bikes. You can fine-tune the motor to...

All four are solid picks. If comfort is your top priority, the Electra Vale Go! and Gazelle Medio T9 stand out. The two Trek Verve+ models are great too, especially if you are getting a closeout deal. You do not need the 28 mph assist for recreational rides, so focus on how the bike feels when...

For two XP Lites in a garage with limited space, the most efficient solution is to hang them on the wall using padded vertical hooks or a swivel wall rack. This keeps the bikes off the floor, prevents handlebars or frames from colliding, and allows easy access for quick rides. Another option is...

Besides keeping the battery inside, you should make sure the bike stays dry to prevent corrosion, lightly lubricate the chain and moving parts, check tire pressure before riding, and store the bike upright if it has suspension. The electronics and frame are generally fine at 40°F, so no special...

Yes, if you’re going to spend money and frequently work on e‑bikes, getting a dedicated powered or hydraulic lift in the $500 to $700 range is a sensible move. Your existing Park Tool PRS‑15 is excellent for road bikes, but it is not designed for the heavier weight and different geometry of many...

You can ship your Qualisports Dolphin using a sturdy bike case instead of a cardboard box. Good options include hard-shell cases like the ROSE Bike Box III, BikeBox Travel Large, or Enviro Bike Box R55, which fit bikes of similar dimensions and provide strong protection. For lighter or budget...

It varies, but with proper bike fit and conditioning, many riders can go 50–100 miles or more without pain or soreness, while beginners may only manage 10–20 miles comfortably.

Two-bolt seat posts have a limited adjustment range, and the “red angle” isn’t usually specified because most are designed for standard seat tube angles. For bikes with unusual angles or precise nose-down preferences, options are a post with a wider adjustment range, a one-bolt micro-adjustable...

I’m in the same boat. I can ride analog just fine but I use my e-bike because it makes the rides more enjoyable and less stressful. I still pedal and get exercise but the assist helps on hills and longer rides. It’s not that I couldn’t do it without the motor, I just ride more often now because...
