Thanks for the detailed steps! Using the Front Carrier bracket and cable extensions makes relocating the headlight straightforward. Running the cables along the same side as the high-beam button to avoid stress is a helpful tip. This guide should make the process easy for anyone doing this...

Yes, I would likely replace my Riese & Müller with another one because of its excellent build quality and comfort. Depending on availability, I might choose a different model to better suit my commuting or cargo needs. If not R&M, I’d consider something like a Tern or Specialized eBike, but it...

Congrats on both milestones! 5 years at work and 5000 km on the SuperCharger 2 is impressive. The cycle map design sounds awesome, and it’s great to see how well your family does with one car and an eBike. The spot by the Avon River sounds meaningful, especially with the connection to the 2011...

Yes, I use a lighted vest when riding my e-bike. It improves visibility, especially in low-light conditions. Worth considering.

PAS 1 running too fast is a common issue with many ebikes, and unfortunately, most stock displays don’t allow fine control over it. While changing your gearing can help a bit, it won’t fix the high assist speed. A Cycle Analyst 3.0 can give you full control over PAS behavior, but it requires...

Go with an 8 camera 4K (8MP) PoE system as it offers excellent image quality without the huge storage demands of 12MP. A Reolink 4K PoE kit is a solid and user friendly choice with good night vision and a reliable app. Hikvision and Dahua are also great if you’re comfortable with a more...

For your needs, a few small hybrids and EVs can handle a hitch mounted rack for a 50 lb e-bike and a regular bike. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid or Prime is a great option with up to 2,500 lbs towing capacity. The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid can tow up to 1,000 lbs, making it suitable as well. Newer Toyota...

Looking for earbuds that work well for conference calls while cycling. I need something that can effectively minimize or eliminate wind noise so the person on the other end can hear me clearly. Any recommendations? 1/2 4o

Agree. If they’re charging $110, it’s not free shipping—plain and simple. The advertising feels misleading and they should be more transparent about the actual costs.

You biked to get $90 of groceries, tipped the bike, had to fix the crate with bungees while juggling groceries, and rode home safely. You learned to laugh, enjoy the ride, be careful with heavy loads, use bungees, and that Giant’s rack design is flawed.

I wear a watch when I ride my bicycle. I used to wear a G-Shock, but now I wear a Citizen Pro Diver. Before, I just wore whatever I felt like until I had a wipeout once.

The iPhone app shows different elevation gain because it uses GPS data, which is less accurate than the barometric altimeter in your bike’s display. This leads to mismatched elevation numbers.

Using diffraction grating film is a clever way to fix the issue with polarized sunglasses and your e-bike's LCD screen. It disperses the light, making the screen visible from all angles. The slight rainbow effect and doubling are minor and don’t make the image unreadable, so it’s a solid solution.

Any suggestions? It doesn't have to be bottle cage compatible. I'd rather buy something that lasts, but the cheaper the better—I'm not concerned about brand names or fancy ergonomic features!

So I recently got my new Sherman Max.. I’m roughly 195lbs, 5’10”… I know they’ve previously discussed running 32psi at the most on the OG Sherman /w stock knobby k262, but that was based on the v2 rim easily shattering from light impact. Since this new v3 rim seems much more resilient, are...
