Apparently you are not telling us the full story. The picture only shows one wheel … but you mention adding a second … ?

Fish scale works, if you buy one with a high enough rating. I’m thinking most inexpensive scales are under 20-ish pounds. And how many times are you going to use it? Your idea of a bathroom scale is good, it has the capacity, but i don’t understand why you need to do it 3 times. Load it up...

Temp was pleasant. Retired and too old to ride in bas weather. Temp was about 60. harry ... i have the regular Fold1, the Plus model has a different controller with more options you can get into. But i will verify just to be sure. The Plus also has a larger battery …

We typically cruise at about 15 mph. It’s a comfortable speed, we’re out for fresh air, exercise, and get out of the house. This trail is 30+ miles long but we only do about 12 miles one way, start in Rice, ride to Farmville for lunch, ride back. As you can see, the trail is essentially dead...

Gionni … i typically have it in level 2 and i pedal the entire time. I only use the throttle to get started from a stop. The days of running along side and throwing my leg over the seat ended decades ago.

Curious what the outcome was for your problem.

I started riding a Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser and it was/is a very good bike. Wife and I each have one, very happy with it. Unfortunately as I age I am starting to have mobility issues, and I have a problem getting my leg over the frame, even though it’s a step-through model. I found that the...

Cordless power tool manufacturers have found a way to use a universal charger that does different voltage batteries, why can’t bike manufacturers do the same? Of course the tool batteries have to be the same brand, and type, like LiPo but that's not an issue.
