    Weird Specialized discovery....

    But it took over a bicycle shop over 100 miles away, with vague customer interaction, to do it. Im trying to stay local on this purchase. I'll still might dream of owning a Globe Haul though.....

    New Juiced Bike Owners

    Juiced is getting ready to launch product and being backed by Lectric it should be pretty interesting. Also, both Lectric and Aventon have released new product and I haven't heard anything "Off the record." about business practices from my local dealers so I wouldn't hesitate on buying from...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    Narrowed my choices down. I still need to test ride a Aventon Abound LR but that shouldn't be a problem as I have 2 Aventon dealers close by. If for whatever reason the Abound LR doesn't work out I'm going back and getting the Radwagon 5 mentioned above. Rad seems to be back-up and operating...

    Bike Modification

    To the OP, just buy your own emoped! I LOVE the Segway Xyber but can't justify buying one for my limited needs. Or save some money and get a Ride1Up Revv. There are a TON of Amazon emopeds on the cheap as well. Modding can be more of a hassle than just buying something already done. I had a XP...

    Lectric bike cover

    Ollie's, the Good Stuff Cheap, used to sell a motorcycle cover that worked great. It fit my large motor scooter (Honda Silverwing) but I never tried it on my Xpedition. If you have a Ollie's around check it our.

    My Radwagon 5 arrived

    I have a Food Lion grocery store a mile from me, a Walmart Neighborhood Market about 2 miles and a Harris Teeter about 4ish miles, so I have food covered. But I do mini runs almost everyday. I'll grab milk one day, cat food the next day, anything so I can go for a ebike ride. I call them...

    Chain education for me?

    I had a Rans Fusion semi-bent awhile ago. Somehow the chain got damaged and I had to take a crash course in chains. What I ended up doing is: I replaced the chain with a KMC. I've had great luck with their chains. I wrote the link count and chain width on the frame with a Sharpie, for future...

    My first Mid Drive

    In all my years of riding I never broke in a BROOKS. I'd end up selling it at a loss and buying a regular saddle. And to think I grew up on hard plastic bmx seats. Come to think about it, maybe thats why I have a tender tush. BROOKS seats do look freaking awesome. They're like Dayton wire...

    Decided to run my ebikes on solar

    The early version of the solar panel battery floaters sucked! They'd overcharge the battery or flat out murder it. I can't recall the brand I used but one of the trucking companies I drove for had us mount the panels on the dash whenever the truck sat. You'd most likely return to messed up...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    So I went and test rode a Radwagon 5 today. Brand new light blue for $2199. Here are my findings/concerns: The shop I went to offers a $360 3 year extended warranty. They did not offer it on the Radwagon 5 because of the "Going out of business" news. The new owner of Rad hasn't reached out to...

    Broke two spokes today

    I've had 2 rear wheels crumble on my Xpedition. I put it down to machine laced wheels. Once I had them corrected by a human who knows what they're doing the first wheel is holding up just fine and the other is on standby. I'll take the rear wheel off my next new ebike and get it checked out by...

    Finding ebikes a home.

    I purchased a ebike from out of California, and when I sold it it went BACK to California. Crazy how some things work out.

    Tire liner shock! Weird!

    I've had the Slime branded tire liners from Wal-Mart slice a tube like DiggyGun had with those Panaracer Flat-Away's. It took awhile though, I just put it down to wear and tear (tear, as in the tube-ha ha). I didn't keep the ebike that I installed the RhinoDillos on long enough to see what would...
