Strange, the calls died down for about a month. It was so quiet and peaceful! But I guess I can't block all of them. Now it's various "scams" like my time share property fees or my 401k trying to "help" me invest and other things that I know are scams. These people never stop! They just evolve...

I'll post pics of the bike later but I got my Fairdale Taj. As weird as it sounds I actually ENJOY hopping on it and going for a ride! The sealed hubs let it easily coast, the gearing is pretty good and it's silly light and nimble. Im waiting on brake shoes as I tossed the included shoes in the...

I was in the LBS that I try to avoid a few weeks ago and everyone was helpful, polite and useful! I was shocked! Only thing I can think is they must have a new manager. Moral seemed high as well in the service bay. Now I wish they carried Specialized again. Both of my local TREK stores are...

Update: I got a health scare and decided to get another bmx bike (27.5) to start riding again. I can still do bunny hops, endos, small jumps, some basic flatland tricks (even on a bigger bike), ride bowls and ramps, plus it will force me to get exercise. I'm keeping the Xpedition for now, or...

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.....

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...

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...

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...

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.

Rad Power "seems" to be back up and running BUT Im not going to go first! If anyone does let us know how it went.

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...

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...

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...

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...

For what its worth EVERYTHING is now Out Of Stock on Rads website.
