    Another Bike Rack Question

    When you mentioned the cargo rack, I really liked the idea but wasnt sure how to secure the bike upright without welding bars. I would love to see what others have done with the cargo racks for their ebikes.

    How to Make Your Bike Ride More Comfortable - Seatposts & Suspension Seatposts

I have a very bruised and painful tailbone for the past 4 days. I was sent over to a sports medicine and biking enthusiast doctor. he had me...

    advice needed for e-bike with throttle, low-step thru, battery on down-tube

    You might want to look at the bike I just purchased. EProdigy Magic. Its a step thru with thumb throttle and battery on downtube. The only thing I didnt like, is that the seat is too high for me and I am 5'5 but I replaced with a women's made seat and shorter seatstem. I did upgrade to a better...

    ??? Class 2 Regulations on Throttle Usage ????

    In oregon, the rule says "Has fully operative pedals for human propulsion and an electric motor with power output not more than 1,000 watts. " I do not think that if an issue arises where you have to rely on the throttle (which happened to me last week), you would get a ticket. Besides, if the...

    Anyone file a battery warranty claim?

    Normally I do slow down but my tailbone hurt so bad, I couldnt pedal anymore and was using the throttle. The tracks were on an upward hill. I have ordered a new seat and a suspension seat post. I just hope the battery is ok and will not just pop out again. PS-I so understand the bruised ego to...

    Anyone file a battery warranty claim?

    Its an EProdigy Magic and I locked it when I put the battery in and pulled on the handle to check. Part of the problem I discovered is that the seat is not fitted for me and I was in so much tailbone pain towards the end that I was using throttle to get me home. The company has been so great...

    Anyone file a battery warranty claim?

    I just got my new bike 2 days ago and tonight I took it on a long ride. On the way home, I came over a set of rail road tracks and there was a pothole that I didnt see until it was too late. As soon as hit the pothole, the battery flew off and got ran over by the car behind me. Its pretty beat...

    Another Bike Rack Question

    Tariffs and eBike Prices

    Tariffs aside, another issue I believe we will be facing is the inability to get parts and/or materials. I am experiencing this issue now with LG products. I decided to break down and buy all new appliances in anticipation of the price hikes. With the trade wars going on, companies like LG...

    "Riders of ebikes AND regular bikes--I have some questions for you!"

    I have been using a mountain bike for the last year and a half but I found that I do not have the stamina for major rides. I also struggle with small hills, especially if I am carrying groceries. A friend has an Ebike, which lead me on the search to find one for myself. My first Ebike arrived...

    Must have Tools for a bike kit

    Well, my new bike arrived tonight and I have been struggling to put it together. Stems dont slide, things are dont appear to fit correctly. Went out on the internet and started looking and discovered that I needed bike grease. Ran down to REI and grab some along with some chain lubricant. I...

    Who rides in the winter?

    Great topic! I have the same question. If anyone is from the pacific northwest and bikes regularly during winter, I would love to hear how you dress for biking and anything you do to keep your bike protected from rain and snow.

    Could there be a way to list where we live?

    I know you can hover and see it but I am impatient and would rather scroll down quickly and look than scroll, stop, hover to the right place and wait for the popup. In researching, finding comments from local people helped me make my decision but it was time consuming to stop and hover on...

    Could there be a way to list where we live?

    Age 52 from Portland, OR. It would be nice to be able to see a person's location. With my first Ebike, it would be nice to connect with others in my area and maybe form an Ebiker's gang.
