Thank you for this. Just noticed a new labeling law applicable to Arizona. That ends me buying a class 3 bike. Better to find out this way than to find out you can't take your new bike to the park.

A year or two ago I had a park ranger ask me what class my bike was. That is what has made me start researching this issue. I mention that I am from Phoenix so that I might get responses that apply to my circumstance. I personally never ride over 10 mph when people are ever near me. I usually go...

You are right, I am overthinking this. But I do think the time is coming when enforcement will be real. I'm getting my wife into this. Two illegal bikes will be much harder to accept than one...

Right now I have a bike that was sold as class 2. I got into the speedometer/controller and now it runs at 24 mph. I've thought about it and the only way they would know is if they rode it. They could just pick the rear wheel up and go full throttle. But, I suspect most class 2 bikes would go...

I would think that over time they will be locking and sealing controllers so they can't be adjusted out of the class the bike is designed for. A Juiced bike is a candidate for me. I hesitate because I'd sure hate to get something I can't use on the Phoenix hike and bike trails. It would be...

I see so many good deals on class 3 ebikes. It seems that you pay the same amount of money to get class 2 as you do class 3. But you get more power going class 3 and you could use it in the country with only a a computer adjustment. So can you adjust a class 3 bike down to class 2 specs and not...

My computer protrudes so far out that a towel would not be enough to protect it. My shifting lever also is vulnerable. I've never repaired a tire with a patch. I would imagine finding a very small leak could be difficult. When the time comes I'm going to get puncture proof tires or a liner, and...

Ahhhh, the easy way out. Very good idea. Thanks.

I've always just changed my tube this is might be a way to go.

I don't like the way knobbies role. Interesting reversal of the usage of a handlebar extension. My shifter is still going to be in the way. I hate to have to loosen everything to change a tire. I'm a road bike man at heart. Not used to these issues.

The plastic on mine seems thin. If it were made of nylon I'd feel better about doing that. But, my shifter also is too high, it will hit too. I'm thinking that ebikemom's solution might be best. But I'll have to change my throttle side hand grip, or cut it off.

Thanks for taking the time to help me

May I ask, what brand and model do you use?

Something like this could be the solution: https://www.amazon.com/Kbrotech-Handlebar-Extender-Extension-Aluminum/dp/B077XJ1W97/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=charger+bike+bicycle+extender+handlebar&qid=1553200126&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1-fkmr2 The only problem is that they don't tighten enough, they...

A bike repair shop told me that my 2.125 tires/wheels are too big for tubeless obviously they are wrong. I'll have to look for them on Amazon.

Good one! I'm going to look for round material to do this. Packing foam might be a little lightweight for my tank (I really want to get a lighter bike for so many reasons).

I'm going to look at this one. Thanks so much for your help.

A good product would be standoffs that you could bolt to your handlebars on each side. Just two little posts with clamps....

Good solution! How would this work with a throttle grip though?

I was hoping that I didn't have to remove the display. But, it is what it is. Did you get large fat tubeless tires? I was told my tires are too big at 2.125? I also have seen articles about tubeless tire maintenance which seems daunting. I'd really like to know where I can get tubeless for my...
