Hi Court, I just returned from the Sea Otter Classic and spoke with Andy Wilkoff, the inventor of the Handlebar Jack tool. He has a great product for electric bike owners and I would recommend reviewing his tool in EBR. Regards, Ted PS. Thanks for your consideration - he did not ask for my...

Looks like the eMulekick is back in stock at BD. $2,300 for a 28 mph Class-3 Gravel bike with a BAFANG M800 Electric MidDrive and SRAM APEX 1X11. ;) http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/e-bikes-electric-bicycles/ebikes-electric-flatbar-road-bikes-emulekick-express.htm

Nice to see more regular folks and families use Ebikes for transportation... the typical American could save over $7,500 annually by ditching the car. ;) https://electrek.co/2021/04/18/how-a-san-francisco-woman-saved-over-50000-by-swapping-her-car-for-an-electric-bike/ A San Francisco woman has...

I sometimes ride with a friend who has a RadRover 5 with a 750W geared hub motor and a 48V, 14 Ah (672 Wh) Battery. Unfortunately, we now have to avoid steep hills as he is unable to climb these 20% grades and has to dismount and walk. ;) He was told by Rad that the geared hub would be able to...

Try using Stava to calculate the actual grade on any segment of your ride... here is a good example of a 19.8% grade.

Matt, Welcome to EBR and thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this forum. I have been staying up late recently reading your blog... great stuff, long may you ride! ;) https://talesontwowheels.com/table-of-contents/ Tales On Two Wheels Life is like a wheel… and it will run...

Congrats to you both!

Interesting reading... this blog was posted in another thread and discussed the build of a combination front hub and mid-drive bike. Is this the best of both worlds... read the problem statement and brief introduction to link to the complete article below to find out? ;)...

I use this lightweight portable pump... quick and easy with digital readout. The price is right if you already have a Ryobi Battery ... $29 shipped ;)...

Congrats on her new ride... reminds me of the days when I used to casually wander into the local car dealer and bring home a surprise. ;)

Here's another Diamondback review from Electrek... along with a brief marketing video. ;) https://electrek.co/2021/04/06/diamondback-goes-electric-launches-four-mid-drive-electric-bikes-for-the-street/

Equal time for the Ladies who don't take a backseat to ride with the guys. ;)

Time to share a bit of motivation to get out there... Spring MTB riding is here! ;)

I may be interested and responded to your documentary link. ;)
