I am in the same situation. I'm 77 years old, have an EVELO ATLAS, R&M ROADSTER VARIO and a GAZELLE ECLIPSE. I tried the BikeHand Bike Repair Stand. The ebikes weigh between 50-70 lbs. and I can't lift them into a bike stand at the correct working height and can't raise the bike once it's in the...

It seems to be geared higher than the others therefore it takes more effort but goes faster per the rotation of the crank.

I've had the step-over version of this ebike for almost 3 months now and put 1,200 miles on it. I also have an EVELO ATLAS and a RIESE & MULLER ROADSTER VARIO and have owned a TREK ALLANT+ 7s. The ECLIPSE is a wonderful ebike. I don't know if it's the frame geometry or the SCHWALBE MARATHON...

I've used these sunglasses (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00982XXJ6?psc=1) since 2015 for running and cycling and they are practically indestructible! Note that they are ANSI Z87.1+ standards for personal eye protection with Polycarbonate lenses providing 99.9% UVA/ UVB/UVC protection. The...

I actually found a guy on eBay that rents one for $30. He doesn't make much money at it. Basically does it as a public service. I think that's very generous of him.

Is there an alternate tool to remove the brake lock ring or a source to rent this tool? To purchase the tool cost $250.00!

Got this response on FACEBOOK, May 24, 2024: "We don't have an ETA for the Atlas yet. Its likely to be fall season before the Atlas comes back in stock."

Looking for full suspension ebike with belt drive similar to CLASS 3 Riese & Mueller DELITE GT VARIO. I am aware of the BULLS VUCA EVO FSX 1 and VUCA EVO AM 2 and the GIANT STORMGUARD E+ and STORMGUARD E+ 2 but these are not available in the USA. Is anyone aware of any similar ebikes selling in...

I've been using the Lamgool 150 PSI Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor Bicycle Pump for the last 6 months and it's performed well. Right now (11/13/2023) it's $35.69 from AMAZON.

Canton, Ohio. I ride 25 miles a day for exercise. Mostly (70%) on paved, residential streets and on Stark Park shared trails (30%) consisting of a crushed limestone surface. I live on the outskirts of the city and there is a 'sharrows' path into the city but there is really no reason for me to...
