Have you tried fire bombing them or driving your car through the front of the building? The latter is very popular lately. 🙃

I think you've got cabin fever!

The airs so dry and windy, you can notice the snow evaporating. Had a little scare last night when I lost power for about 15 minutes. Not long after I grabbed a flashlight, set up an LED lantern and reported the outage, it came back on. Was dreading the thought of setting up the generator, but...

Are you sure... I've found working on a new trampoline in the rain at 52° with a SW 4 mph wind to be very similar. 🙃

Same here. Got some meat left from a rotisserie chicken and today's plan is a monster pot of soup.

Tru_dat!. . . We are are rare and disappearing breed.

The problem is... How do you define them? And even if you ban throttles they will make them ghost pedal machines. In this day of body and dash cameras, it's a lot easier to prove reckless behavior. Confiscate on first offense then add community service as a punishment.

So there's a ton of crap bikes out there, and many that don't even look like a bicycle... and removing their throttles will fix this... how? Well at least that was one day that you weren't full of $hit 🙃 Well I am truely grateful that you can graciously grant permission at least to some of us...

Why not legalize amphetamines and cocaina and no one will need motorized bicycles. 🙃 Then Pedal will have a legit reason to carry a torch.

I was being facetious... My first bike was DIY and I have no issue building another. I was trying to demonstrate to Pedal why you keep the baby and his throttle ban is not the solution

WTF does that have to do with banning throttles. Minibikes and kids have been an issue since way before ebikes. Like I said before, your attitude is part of the problem. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. edit: We should also ban DIY ebikes. There's lot of builds with questionable...

Exactly... and this is why you ban actions, not hardware. The whole eBike Class approach for such trivial differences I find rather ridiculous.

Just as I have no driving violations with my car... I ride my bike the same way. Besides I'm in NY 🙃 . . . and you gonna have to catch me first. 😜

I have a 1000w and a throttle and use it responsibly. I don't need to justify it's use to you or anyone else. Just as I have a sports car capable of +150mph it's action that needs to be restricted, not hardware. It's close minded alarmist comments like this that are causing the problem. Just as...

Totally awesome question.... Good job! 🤣 You can replace a hub motor with an off the shelf version... But you'll more than likely have to replace the spokes (or the entire wheel as it may be cheaper) and controls along with the wiring. The battery is also wear item and you might have the same...
