The rate I mentioned refers to the percentage. More total number of deaths is due to more people catching the disease because it is a novel virus. I accounted for that in my risk assessment.

The niece would have had to isolate from her kids (who live with her) for two weeks after returning from our "high risk state" unless she got a negative covid test. As PCR tests are unreliable and there would be a delay in getting results, it was decided that we would travel to her instead.

I’ll have to respectfully disagree. I do mean respectfully because I value dialog and diversity of thought. I am sympathetic to the sentiment of “something is better than nothing”. However, I think there are hidden costs for these mandates that are verboten to discuss. I will discuss some of...

My wife and I traveled to Washington, DC to spend Thanksgiving with my niece. Her ex-husband had her 4 kids for the holidays and she couldn't travel due to the mayor's quarantine order...an order that the mayor exempted herself from. I cooked a turkey and did a week's worth of honey-do list...

Excellent info. Thank you!

Thank you sir. I am considering Brose but the local Specialized dealers are not very friendly. I'm not too keen on buying an expensive toy and then giving years of business to people whom I don't like. I'm a big believer in "voting with your dollars".

Thank you very much for the information. I do my absolute best to minimize the amount of Chinese labor in everything I buy. I know that I won't be able to totally eliminate it in this purchase but I am doing my due dilligence. Does anyone have the same info for Bosch?

Hello all, I will be buying an eMTB within the next 6 months. I am leaning toward a Bosch perfomance CX or Shimano powered bike. However, where the bike and motor are made is very important to me. I have searched the websites of both companies and did not find where their motors are made...

BTW, I am not affiliated with his site or him at all. He called our company to purchase some equipment and we ended up having a wide-ranging conversation about counterfeit goods. He talked about counterfeit lithium ion batteries being the culprit in many of the hoverboard fires that occurred. I...

I do not have any experience with Aliexpress or Alibaba. However, I had a conversation with the owner of The Counterfeit Report recently. He says that the vast majority of items purchased from these two sites are counterfeit items. You should look over this list and see if your items are there...

Thank you for your response. My intention is to purchase from a bike store in my region that I can expect to honor any warranty issues that may arise. All of the shops charge $100 USD to demo a bike for the day. They will apply the demo fee to the purchase of any bike that I buy from them...

Hola EBR, I have decided to buy an electric mountain bike this summer/fall. I plan to demo several bikes but I think it will come down to a Rocky Mountain Altitude or a Specialized Levo. I'm still looking for a Giant and Cannondale demo and the local Trek dealers don't seem to be interested in...

That is a universally true statement. However, the fact that Luna offers very low prices for an item without a warranty doesn't necessarily mean that they have a poor product. You can choose to buy the item at a very low price without a warranty and you can choose to get a warranty for the...

You aren’t supposed to be able to service those packs. Luna says that their construction process means that bad cells are isolated and the rest of the pack continues functioning. They claim the potting is water proof and has thermal characteristics that helps to control cell heat. The...

Obviously, I can’t speak for Luna. However, they have 3D printers, cnc routers, and a sonic spot welder that they use in producing their latest batteries. There is no reason that they couldn’t use this equipment to manufacture a replacement pack for this bike if they see fit. I will...

Please come back and review this bike after you’ve put some hard miles on it. I am very interested in the 750w version of this bike and I’m curious as to how the frame and drivetrain will hold up after someone seriously whales on it.

I don’t really understand why people want a large display. I would prefer something rugged, waterproof and very small that displays the assist level and *maybe* speed. If I want to see any other info, it could be sent to my phone via Bluetooth or an app.
