    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    "California Assembly Bill 1942 (AB 1942), introduced in February 2026 as the "E-Bike Accountability Act" by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, proposes mandatory DMV registration and license plates for all Class 2 and Class 3 e-bikes to improve safety and accountability."

    Working to put GRIN CA3-DPS + External Shunt onto Lectric ONE

    Sorry, I haven't taken apart a Lectric One. However, many/most displays have a pin going to them with battery voltage and should also have ground. You may be able to tap into that. You could test that with a multimeter.

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    New laws won't make Sur-rons any more illegal than they already are. A proposed law to require DMV registration and license plates for currently legal class 2 and class 3 ebikes does nothing to solve the emoto problem. Enforcement of existing laws will take care of that. Putting up road blocks...

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    I think that states like New Jersey and California's war on ebikes will negate that.

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    So take some time now and research restaurants near where you will be staying. And they do have Eastern European restaurants there as well: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g56003-c16-Houston_Texas.html. Maybe not as good as your mother used to make, but you can find a little bit of...

    Help deciding when to switch to an ebike?

    There are lots of ways to get exercise. I have been a runner my whole life, but that's not for everyone. My take is that you have to do something you enjoy or you won't do it enough to make a difference. If you find yourself not looking forward to tomorrow's ride or struggle to keep up with the...

    Rad has new owner

    You don't need union assembly line workers these days. Robots have come a long way. Factory automation can make it a lot cheaper to manufacture in the United States. It's a big up front investment though.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    That's your choice. I am a computer network engineer, unpatched computers are not safe for my business. I don't click on sketchy links either, but exploits don't always rely on clicks. I don't like the new law and I think it will be amended before 2027. However, if it comes to a choice...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    You want the security patches to avoid becoming part of a hacker's bot farm or having spyware and key loggers installed on your computer. New vulnerabilities are found every day.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    It's kind of true. California passed a law that will require all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS, to capture age information for each account created on the computer and to implement an API to pass this age information to applications on the computer starting in 2027. This has...

    Is this Busch & Müller "Eyc 42/6V" the voltage range?

    Well, B&M is a German company. Maybe something was lost in the translation.
