    Walmart Bike Rack in stock !!!

    This thing has. "RV" in the title? U'd think that means you can use it on an RV. Yet on the second page of the instructions, they specifically state to not use it on an RV. What could be different? Just wondering?

    Battery Cost: $1,299

    I watched a video by the owner of Sandos. He's crazy!!! He does have a sence of humor, though🤗

    Battery Cost: $1,299

    I bought a RC-S to keep in Yuma for my 5 months of wintering. I too thought the replacement battery cost is excessive compared to my R1U 700. Glad I didn't let that worry keep me from the purchase. This bike is a killer! If the battery lasts 5 years that's only $300 a year. That's really...

    Walmart bike in stock !!!!

    Just ordered this rack today. I'll keep one in Yuma and the other in Oregon. They're so inexpensive: 4 for the price of 1 Trek rack AND rated for 200#'s - which the Trek is rated at 160#. Also this rack has a bend up so it doesn't bottom out like the Trek.

    RC-S battery discharge during storage!

    It's my opinion that there's way too much hype on battery maintenance. Many sources specify 80% for storage. I do have a Luna charger that works with my RC-S that can stop the charge at 80% and will use it but on my R1U 700, I'll just fully charge, go for a 2 mile ride to take the top off and...

    RC-S battery discharge during storage!

    Left my RC-S in Yuma and took the battery home for safe keeping. Voltage was 52.68 two months ago. Voltage today is 52.69. I bought two Luna chargers because of all the hype "charge the batteries to 80%". One for my R1U 700 also. Just wanted to let all know that the battery doesn't appear to...

    My battery is stuck won't disconnect!

    I'm not following the seat shim problem you're experiencing. My seat post doesn't have a shim. I did remove the handle and use an Allen wrench to tighten. Primarily to discourage theft of my expensive seat post.

    Mini Review of Fultyme E-Bike Hitch Mount 2-Bike Rack, 200 lbs. Capacity

    I'm 1400 miles away from mine so I can't get to it but is the hitch hole threaded? I never eaven looked. I bought a locking pin + one of those uolt cinchers to keep it from rattling

    Tire pressure monitors

    I really don't care about accuracy. All I want is close.. It's not like a car, where it's important

    Tire pressure monitors

    Pumped my tires to 50, installed the gauges, and they are registering green. I do realize that they must push down the stem and are a potential for a leak so I keep the old caps in my tool bag. It's worth $10 to me to, just before a ride, glance down and know the TP is OK. I'm not into the...

    Tire pressure monitors

    Guys.... The reason I bought these is just to have a look see before a ride. Also not to have to check the pressure and loose 5psi, then have to get the pump out. I just thought some might be interested!

    50 psi is hard as a rock. Not any give. Even 40 psi is very hard.

    Slight play in rear wheel

    I don't get any play but when I tilt my 700 on the side and throttle up, there is a lot of out of balance vibration.

    Tire pressure monitors

    I hated to test the air pressure on my bike tires. No way could I use any of my assorted tire gauges without loosing a lot of air. The air volume in these little tires don't allow for any mismatch of the gauge and valve stem. I installed these today...
