I presume they have an internal battery balancer. Of course cannot tell unless I saw documntaiton. You shold be able to splice cables, yes.

I agree with Juggernaut, your derailleur should be at 5 o'clock while on the largest cog. That might help if your chain were tighter.

Zip tie plastic fenders

I put 3.0" in front, 2.8" in the rear, mtb tires, you will have to remove the metal fenders.

Clarification: These (above) instances were all situations where my bike did not collide with anything. They were rain, ice, loss of traction instances where my bike went down sideways, in a flash, on concrete or grass, and my position on the bike never changed. The handlebar, pedal, and helmet...

This horn is the loudest bicycle horn I could find. It works very well in traffic. 140dB. https://us.hornit.com/products/v3-db140

I agree. The few times I have fallen and managed to keep my feet on the pedals, knees in, hands on the grips, I've come a way relatively unscathed. My elbow pads helped too.

I'm 64. Started riding bikes daily four years ago. Since I got my emtb three years ago, I've been riding aggressively on a daily basis. I want to minimize any damage if I fall. I fell often a few years ago as I was learning. Broke my ribs twice. I don't fall anymore but maybe once a year. I want...

I have ridden on the lawn and grounds around the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. a few times. First time, just after the Jan-6 kerfuffle, I stopped to talk to a bunch of U.S. Capitol Police gathered out front. They asked me if my bike could climb the steps of the Capitol Building? I said...

Claiborne Parkway

I woudnt get far riding drunk. But after a "hit" or two, my riding is very graceful.

Actually Mike, he was about 5 feet away from me at all times, so no, he couldn't smell my beath. He did't ask for my name or ID, which I found odd, and never asked me to dismount my bike. He didn't do the normal things an officer does to establish contol of the encounter. I don't think he even...

So true. So true. It would have gotten very confrontational.

That about sums it up! Once I get on that bike and start rolling to some fast tempo music, I feel like kid again! My Playlist starts out: Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins Shut Down - Beach Boys Sultans of Swing - Dire Straights (Alchemy Live) On Her Majesty's Secret Service - James Bond Theme...

Sounds good. I am curently running two 17.5Ah batteries on my Luna Z1 w/Bafang Ultra. I used a battery balancer so I run with both of them on at the same time. Before the battery balancer, I used them as swap-outs. Sure feels goof to have all that juice.
