After a few test rides I passed on anything with larger wheels. I like 20" kids bikes I guess! I also passed on anything without a throttle. Since I was so let down with the Lectric ONE, thinking it would be a improved RadRunner, I just went back to another RadRunner. I wish I could have had a...

Exercise primarily, but throttle just in case.

Everyone has a price in their head as to how much something is worth to them. My current motor scooter is made in Vietnam. I was willing to pay the price because I feel it was worth it to me. IF I was shopping now and the tariffs put even more on the OTD price I would have just passed on buying...

I knew the original owner of East Coast Bicycles, Mike Shipp, a little bit. Shame when he passed but I think it's his son who took over and the small business, helpful, non-judgmental vibe is still there. It's literally right down the street from me.

So I discovered that a gym membership isn't working for me. I just can't get motivated for it. So I've decided to resume commuting to work again on a ebike. As some know my commute is 14 miles each way and crosses 3 war zone intersections. My commute is not speed restricted (not that I'd buy a...

Let me go into a bit more detail. I purchased this DJI OSMO 3 around 2 years ago and FINALLY decided to use it. The camera gives you 5 "demo" runs before DJI forces, I mean makes you, log in to activate it. I'm a Luddite on tech and wasn't in the mood to set it up. But when I scanned that QR...

I lost my temper with a DJI OSMO 3 and the "action cam" didn't survive. I have a Android based phone and when I scanned the QR code on the camera it corrupted my phone! Needless to say I had to go file to file to purge the DJI app from my phone. So be cautious of DJI action cams, as the only...

Not sure on this question. The guy didn't seem to care that I had a ebike (or sit down scooter with the JackRabbit) just the fact that he "Didn't know" about bicycle parking nor took the time to ask if I could park at the bicycle rack I was pointing to OR inside the fence next to the 2 hipster...

I've locked the Xpedition to random bicycle rack near Waterside Park for a bazzar all day and didn't think twice about it. I'll lock up at the corner bike rack near Pixels Arcade and not think twice about it. Lock outside of Wal Mart and not think twice. Food Lion as well, never a concern. I...

I prefer schrader valve over a presta only because I struggle to use a presta pump, but can suffer though pumping up a presta when needed. But why suffer? All my current bikes use schrader valves and I can use my compressor to to easily pump 'em up. If I even borrow a bike with presta valves I...

So there was a local show tonight that I wanted to go to. The venue is new and is only around 3 miles away from my home. So I figure "Take the JackRabbit ebike and go, drink some beers and grab a t-shirt!", now note that I've yet to go to a live show since COVID. I head out to this venue and get...

I got the Super Start AGM Power Pack to come back to life! I slowly took the charge down and plugged it in for a charge. Did this 3 times and eventually all the status LED's came on. So back in the Fit it will go (along with jumper cables just incase it fails again).

You never listed your location. I say this because I bought a new motor scooter recently and since then its been raining and now snowing. I've only managed 100 miles when normally I'd have around 400 miles on it. Now the roads are all salted and nasty. We need a good rain now. Did the delivery...

I tried to post the pictures of the offending battery jump boxes but the website said the picture file was to large? So for now I'll list the models: Schumacher Model # SL1316 Lith-Ion Jump Starter, Fuel Pack and Backup Power. This is the one that the battery swelled up and it got toasty. It's...

I had a co-worker who loved to tinker. He should have been in R&D but ended up our emissions engineer. He took one of our battery powered hand held leaf blowers and modded it with a motor from a large RC plane and battery. The owner of the company came in one day and wanted to see the tornado...
