    Fat bike inverted fork possible problem

    Hi. My ebike has a no name inverted fork with the valve for air located at the bottom of one of the legs. There also seems to be fluid in the hollow of the leg as well. First time while attempting to add air, I noticed a small bit of fluid had escaped. The bike was not completely flipped over...

    eBike at a traditional bike event, Gran Fondo Goldendale, WA

    You didn't say whether, you used your throttle. I'm assuming that you didn't, since your mostly PAS 1.

    Rize RX legality

    You might like to check out our site- "friends of Confederation Trail" on Facebook and you will see a problem like you described. The posters obviously don't know much about e-bikes but quite likely the authorities will be keeping an "eye out" for e-bikes in this area of the trail. Might not of...

    Rize RX legality

    Hi Mr. Thompson. we just had very similar laws implemented here in PEI this spring. The 500 W limit seems to be for bike paths and trails similar to the Confederation Trail. Have not heard of any one being charged as yet. The 500W is not realistic for the people who are using e-bikes ( seniors...

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    Not sure which part of Canada that you are referring to. As near as I can tell, we are just as screwed up, up here, as you folks are down there. Up here, our "magic number" for bike trails seems to be 500 W. Think that you folks are at least 750 W.

    Atlantic Canada - Nova Scotia to offer $500 rebate on E-bikes

    Thanks Ravi, That event would be of interest to me for sure. Better yet, if some PEI government officials could be enticed to attend, would be great as IMO, they need a lot of catching up to do to get "up to speed" in this area.

    Atlantic Canada - Nova Scotia to offer $500 rebate on E-bikes

    Agreed, no matter what age, getting on a bike usually brings back pleasant memories, and brings back the kid in us. So much the better, if its an e-bike with torque assist and probably no throttle. All of a sudden, I have bionic legs. What could be better than that. Bring on the the head winds...

    Atlantic Canada - Nova Scotia to offer $500 rebate on E-bikes

    Good on the government there in NS. Lets hope that the newly elected government of next Tuesday will continue with this incentive. Given what is happening here in PEI, I'm not sure where we stand re;- e-bikes, any more. Oh yes, they say anything less than 500w is welcome on the bike lanes...
