    Theft prevention/recovery?

    I hear where your coming from with the operator error issue. However its a matter of educating the riders. Sort of like cell phone use. We are all aware that cell phones have PIN numbers but bikers are not aware that their Ebikes can be disabled electronically. If Ebikes where routinely/always...

    Theft prevention/recovery?

    Good Point. The manufacturers could easily put a PIN on the display to lock up the bikes electronics to deter theft. Seems like a relatively simple thing to do.

    Theft prevention/recovery?

    I stand corrected tile does work similarly to Air Tags via the tile network. Howerver4 the network is not nearly as extensive. However in time I imagine the gap between the size the Tile Network vs. Apple Network will decrease. Tile also charges a fee for their full feature tracking no fee from...

    Theft prevention/recovery?

    What you linked operates on Bluetooth meaning its range is very limited. I am not an Apple fan at all. But there is nothing quite like an Air tag in terms of cost reliability and range. An Airtag will track an item Globally via the network of Apple Devices. It is not limited to Bluetooth Range...

    Theft prevention/recovery?

    In the year 2024 it is very wise to put an air tag on your E bike. If you are not an Apple person, become one. Buy a used Ipad if necessary simply to use with your air tag. It is a relatively cheap investment that can be used to keep track of your Ebike

    We pedal our bikes. Dealers peddle (sell) bikes.

    Correct grammar is necessary to get your point across. Misplaced punctuation, a missing comma or misspelled word can change the meaning of a sentence. If others cannot understand what your trying to say, there is no longer 2 way communication going on! If communication is lost there is no point...

    RVer Cruiser or Folding eBike?

    When I was initially looking. I thought I wanted a folder until LBS that sold folders, suggested I buy a folder only if I had no other choice. Buy a folder would limit my choices and I should focus on a bike that fits my size first. Comfort was more important than folding unless folding was an...

    Help with a new Ebike purchase

    My vote is to not buy any bike site unseen and untested. Why Anyone would by anything as expensive as an Ebike without having specific knowledge of what your getting is beyond me. With that in mind I suggest buying from a LBS. That way you can take test rides and choose the model you like. No...

    Awesome Two bike platform hitch bike rack...rated for 200 pounds!

    The rack is very sturdy. Maybe not quite as fluid as some of the higher priced brand name racks when it comes to latches, catches and adjustments. But it is a tremendous value for the price. My issue is more with the challenges of securing my step thru frame vs. being any shortcomings with the...

    Awesome Two bike platform hitch bike rack...rated for 200 pounds!

    I just purchased the same rack. It looks like it will do the job, However I'm going to have to do some mods to secure my 2-step thru's to the rack. I don't think the center lock down will drop down low enough? I have a couple of top tube adapter bars on order, which should resolve my issue. But...

    Looking to buy a portable folding ebike this month, my first.

    When I got the desire to get an Ebike. The first thing I thought of was a folding bike I could take with me in the RV. Interestingly enough I was advised not to get a folder unless It was absolutely necessary. I was advised the folder had too many limitations in terms of size and that it would...

    Toyota CEO brings up excellent observation about Tesla

    Toyota is just like the others. They are missing the EV boat. Tesla has shown that EV is for real and not something for the drawing board. Tesla has changed the game!
