Always swing right leg over ebike to mount, left foot on the ground, and start pedaling with right foot. Might be a different story if the kickstand was on the opposite side? I "feel" my left leg is a touch stronger because of playing basketball (jump higher off left leg from a run) and...

I have the Mach2 QuikRstuff bike rack and it is RV rated. You can only use: - the 2" version, - two bike max, - using extender, adapters, swing arms or bike covers can damage the rack (void warranty), - it needs to be a chassis mounted hitch receiver (not a bumper only hitch) - the distance...

Noticed the same issue with my Kenda Juggernaut 26X4 on my rear hub 2016 Radrover. Went from weekend dirt riding only to adding 5 day a week work ebike commuting a year later. The knobby felt a bit squirrely at high speeds on pavement, very loud "killer bees" sound on pavement, rears wore down...

I have a rear hub 750w/80nm rear hub Radrover and 1000w/160nm mid-drive Himiway Cobra Pro and ride sometimes in the 6000-7200 ft foothills of the Sandia mountains in NM. Waaaaay too much stress on the rear hub plastic gears or chain/gears with the mid-drive for throttle only on inclines with...

It make sense to categorize ebikes as motor vehicles if they exceed and can maintain a certain speed on public roads and spaces. No registration if the ebike follows the local laws for Class I/II/III ebikes in public spaces. My Class II Radrover is limited to 20 mph; but, I've had a few...

Seems like a step thru folding ebike with a built on rear rack checks a lot of boxes. Probably a little more choices in the 20X4 fat tire folding ebike design. Depending on the ebike, you can add a front basket, ebike kid seat/chair, and/or panniers. I also like having a commuter backpack...

I have a mix of 2016 Radrover (75lbs), Himiway Cobra Pro (95lbs), and Radcity Step-thru (70lbs). My old Saris SuperClamp 4 didn't have a long enough tray length and couldn't handle the weight of my Cobra Pro alone. Narrowed my choices down to 1UP and QuikrStuff Mach2 platform racks. Ended up...

I'm a big/tall guy at 6'3" and +300lbs. I have Radrover fat tire hard tail and Himiway Cobra Pro full suspension. I look at everything as an entire system that could effect my riding comfort directly or indirectly. Sometimes I might have a symptom and have to narrow down the root cause...

I would test the ebike at under 30% power on Seattle hills to see if you have reduced performance. My old 16 Radrover will provide max power available until the battery dies. Example: I need 350w and Radrover can only output 300w in PAS 3 at low battery %; but, the Radrover will give me the...

Welcome to the forum! I ended up giving away my two pedal bikes after I purchased my first ebikes. I ride all year and only exclude ice, snow, or rain for riding days with an ebike.

I have both: - two Radrover 4" Fat tire 750w/80Nm rear hub with throttle and cadence sensor 20 mph Class II - Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w/160Nm 4.8" fat tire mid drive full suspension with tq sensor 28 mph Class III I ride them on paved roads, paved/unpaved bike only trails, and single track. Most...

For with two Radrover fat tire ebikes on a Saris SuperClamp 4 platform bike rack with outer two holders removed on a 7 passenger 11 Acura MDX SUV. I did: - remove batteries - remove seat/seatpost - plastic wrap on electrical (battery tray and entire handlebar (mostly for dust/dirt/sand) - lock...

If he is under 400lbs, a fat tire ebikes from Himiway or Birch Hunters Grolar are great solutions. Being able to test ride (local dealer of Face Book Group) to mount, dismount, and maneuver in low speed situations might be worth giving a try. I like the flexibility of having 2 wheels and bike...

I feel you brother! I love being tall and big guy; but, it can be very hard and a little expensive living in a world made for smaller people (purchasing vehicles, paying more for flight seats with leg room, need the handicap bathrooms stalls for the extra room, limited fashion choices for...

I always wanted a mid-drive and the Cobra Pro checked a lot of my "wish list" over my rear hub Radrover. Noticed the mid-drive is like having a manual transmission compared to a rear hub being more auto trans feel. I can keep my Radrover in 7th gear, come to a complete stop, use the throttle...
