    AAA Emergency Road Service for Bikes

    The most likely scenario with an e-bike would be a flat tire, and being rescued from that would be well worth it, depending on where it happened. With an exhausted battery, you probably would have seen it coming, and by the time you ran out of juice most likely you wouldn't be all that far away...

    AAA Emergency Road Service for Bikes

    With cars they don't just do towing, they can come out with a gas can if you ran out of fuel, they can give you a jump start if your battery died, and I think they can help you to change a tire, assuming you have another tire in your car. I guess it would be too much to expect that they'll...

Home Depot and Lowes and...

    Using an E Bike to Titrate Activity Level and Energy Expenditure

    I have owned a couple of folding E Bikes the last several years. One was a purpose built conversion sold by Luna Bike, and the other was a conversion I had done with an existing Dahon with a Nuvinci CVT transmission. I also own regular, unassisted, bikes, both folder and full size. I ride...
