    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    sad to see, my rad mission has been a wonderful bike the past 4 years with minimal maintenance and really nice to ride, i have been surprised how well my ebikes have held up and would have thought i would have bought a new one by now, my brother bought an ebike and enjoyed it for a couple...

    Battery recall thru the CPSC.

    luckily my rad mission has a different model number but definitely makes me think twice about storing it in the garage and maybe storing it in the shed? it is going on 4 years old and still runs like the first day i bought it so maybe got lucky. i don't generally ride in the rain if i can help...

    Rad January funding or close

    sad to hear that, we have a rad mission original bike and absolutely love it! no idea how many miles since the display is simple but would guess 2K miles or so in 3 years. i don't think this will be the last e-bike company fold unfortunately. ive been pleasantly surprised with how good both my...

    shock absorbing seat posts

    i got a cheap suspension seat post from the bike shop and it's been wonderful, no complaints at all, i dont remember what i paid but it couldnt have been much at all. it was a little too bouncy when i first got it but got used to it and now i love it. well worth whatever money i spent on it. i...

    E-bike Insurance

    yikes, i just read that article, thanks for sharing. that is a bit hard to understand how it happened but i suppose it could. wow. every new year i ride on bike paths, i continue to slow down more and more around people/kids/pets. when airpods came into play, it was basically game over for...

    Aventon Pace 500 original model, worth selling?

    great advice thank you ill keep that in mind and not donate to a friend! i think at this point i'm just going to hang on to it. it's one of these things that is worth the most to me knowing how it works and the history. it isn't taking up that much space, i may even commute on it this week just...

    Aventon Pace 500 original model, worth selling?

    consignment is a great idea, not sure where i could find one of those stores around here but ill have to look into that, i think i asked my local aventon dealer last time i was in if they buy them, and they said no if my memory is correct.

    Aventon Pace 500 original model, worth selling?

    yeah i don't have the time or knowledge to part it out although that's a great idea, its taking up space in my garage and i know if i move it to the shed it's just going to collect dust for a long time. maybe ill try and get it out more this fall/winter and then try and sell it in the spring.

    Aventon Pace 500 original model, worth selling?

    Good morning: I've got an original Aventon Pace 500 (not step-through-large frame, I'm 6'2" and it fits great) with just under 3,000 miles and 4 years old. I'm not finding myself riding it much anymore and riding a different e-bike, any thoughts on if it is even worth trying to sell it or just...

    Sound in the Ears

    brewers i've had the same issue with watery eyes for many years and tried a bunch, the best i've found is wearing youth sunglasses which tuck in a little closer to my eyes on the outside edges and that seems to work great. i haven't found a great winter solution, the best i've found is a clear...

    New York State ebike legislation

    Pretty interesting stuff. In this kind of gray-area with e-bikes and no one seems quite sure what to do. Not walker/manual bike, but also not motorcycle/scooter. Kids/teens are riding them en masse now. 5 years ago I thought safety rules/regulations may be further along than they are with...
