Great day for riding, great day for flying.. though not injured.

That's just steam, water vapor.. no smoke.

The OEM knobby tires cause lots of road noise while riding. I swapped them out with some 26x3" street treads and they made the ride much quieter. I also mounted chain guard to avoid dropping the chain. Used a narrower/lower BMX handlebar for smaller overall size. 200 miles on the bike so far. I...

For $260. I'd say it's decent value if it last more than few hundred miles. Beyond that, if you can fix the upcoming issues yourself, then it's a great value. Not everyone need an expensive ebike.

I commute on my ebikes & regular bicycles in NYC metro for the last fifteen years. I don't stop at every stop sign or red light, I try to get across intersections as quickly as I can to avoid accidents (because most accidents occur at intersections). Drivers get angry at me for running red...

Why are Sur Ron-style electric motorbikes so dang popular with teens today? https://electrek.co/2024/08/29/why-are-sur-ron-style-electric-motorbikes-so-dang-popular-with-teens-today/

I've had my Lectric XP Trike since last year, mainly it's been used by my in-laws (in their 80's) to scoot around and get some sun. It does what it's meant for: low speed, compact and just get-on-&-ride vehicle. Mine didn't have any issues with the wheel bearings, fenders were little bent...

Mid-drive would just make it more dependent on the chain for a very HEAVY bike. Torque sensor just adds to the cost. There are 2WD kits for the WIRED ebikes already, no need for torque sensor. I will figure out how to tow a trailer behind, it would a hunting trip with ebike.

Display on the Wired ebikes do come with a motor temperature & power output reading. Motor will automatic shutoff at above 370 degree F. Just because the motor has peak output of 3200w, doesn't mean that anyone should ride at peak motor output for significant amount of time. Sure, riders will...

According to their website, 3200w peak output, 60V system, 150Nm of torque.

Why? because this is 'Merika, go big or go home. If I want to ride this thing on the pavement, I will wear out the knobbies before changing the tires. I have plenty of other bikes & ebikes to ride on pavement. Luckily, I have some protected open space trail head just 0.5 mile from my...

No it does not have crisp handling, No it does not fit in my car, No it is not a dirt bike for jumps or narrow trails, No it is not a lightweight. But who doesn't want to drive a monster truck once in a while? This is 'merika, supersize me. I swapped the 56T front chainring for something more...

It's easier to as for forgiveness than it is for permission.
