While I can't answer that, I do know that when I am riding my Class 3, if I get to 28 MPH, I no longer get pedal assist. Why couldn't the throttle couldn't be disabled once it is switched to Class 1 or Class 3?

This is what we have in Minnesota. As I interpret it, a multiple mode electric-assisted bicycle is permitted in Minnesota. Minnesota Statutes §169.011 Subd. 27 Subd. 27.Electric-assisted bicycle. (a) "Electric-assisted bicycle" means a bicycle with two or three wheels that: (1) has a...

That is pretty impressive.

Has anybody here used their old phone that is no longer their day-to-day phone for this? If you enable the hotspot on your primary phone and keep it somewhere safe on your person and then connect the old phone via wifi, that could be a good way to go for some people. The issue I have with a lot...

I was in a local bike shop this morning and saw one that allows the user to select between Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. I went to Google and it turns out a number of bikes now allow user-selectable classes.

We had a motorist killed in Saint Paul MN yesterday. We need to ban automobiles! :D

Update on this. I bought a Garmin Edge 1050 on Saturday, February 21st, 2026. I returned it two days later. I have plenty of experience with Garmin products, but this one disappointed me. I opened it up to charge it and do a firmware update. I was able to connect it to my computer with a USB...

While I don't necessarily need a Garmin Edge 1050, this one interests me because it has a touchscreen and a 3.5 inch display. The part about HSA/FSA eligible for qualified customers caught my eye. I am just curious if anybody here has purchased a bike computer and been reimbursed with HSA/FSA...

My wife and I have been vacation planning with e-bikes for the past year, too. Tuscon was great. Laughlin NV/Bullhead City AZ was not great.

I am considering these. https://www.blackburndesign.com/p/grid-side-bike-light-set/350140000200000046.html
