Thanks for the reply one4torque, I appreciate your thought and time however I'd respectfully prefer to keep the discussion focused on "getting rechargeable Lithium batteries through TSA at the airport and any experience others have had doing this or problems they encountered and solutions if...

I am currently (10/9/15) researching this topic of flying with “larger than normal” Lithium rechargeable batteries. My application is different than electric bike battery but close to the same “category” as far as battery type and size…in my case a motorcycle battery that is 6” x 5” x 4” and...

RE: multi use paths I would like to see these paths remain multi use so we bikers and e-bikers have the greatest number of paths available for us to choose from. If walkers and runners experience collisions or near misses from bikes/e-bikes whizzing past them, the fastest groups using the...

To: 86 and still kicking azz, Man I hope I am even half as sharp and half as articulate as you at 86 when I am 66. Your cogent analysis of the current state of the bike business is appreciated. I had no idea just how far skewed things are (98% 3rd party / 2% proprietary)...that is...

My experience is from the motorcycle industry so my comments may be irrelevant but I’m just guessing the principals carryover pretty closely to the ebike business or any other business for that matter. The big difference I see is that the ebike market is still in it’s infancy so there is less...

Hello Ray, I too am curious to hear a one year+ review of the pedego (frame, motor, components, maintenance and service/warranty). Hope it is still giving you smiles every time you climb aboard! Did this model have both pedal assist and throttle? Anything you wish you got on/for the bike that...

To Power Me, first off I am new here so take my opinion with several grains of salt because I may be way off base but here is what I think on this matter. If you really break it down there are many different elements to riding a bike so that it is both safe and enjoyable. All of them take...

I'm curious to know how things worked out for Bex...anybody know. I just joined this forum and had I been in her position, I would have gone for the Pedego 24" Cruiser and ordered a set of ez-trainer.com adult training wheels to take care of the stability issues. I realize for someone who...

Thanks for the welcome, the overview and the comments on my question. I'm looking forward to learning a lot more about e-bikes in the next few months so I'll be back with more questions. To Kaldeem - "what peaked my interest about Polaris e-bikes"? Well, I just stumbled upon them while...

I'm from the gas powered motorcycle world. I have recently become interested in the electric powered motorcycles (Zero and Brammo (now owned by Polaris)). When searching for the electric motorcycle by Polaris I found out there is none at this time but there is a line of electric bicycles...
