My opinion, since you are doing such a drastic change in you needs for a ebike then seriously consider a cargo style ebike. They are made for most of what you are looking for. Made to sit lower for load management. High torque numbers to haul said load. Good brakes to stop a heavier load. Larger...

Pictures will follow, my phone dumped them for some reason. Originally I flipped the stock giraffe stem that originally came on my XP 3.0. Before, it was to far of a reach, after flipping it it was a tad to close. I had a set of GT 4 piece bmx bars laying around, the tallest one they make. I...

I have a weird fascination with the Jack Rabbit XG, the dual battery model. But the Lectric is a proven ebike. If you just wanna bump around and buying one for a last mile type purchase I'd go Jack Rabbit. If you want exercise then consider the Lectric. That's my 2 cents.

If you get ghost pedaling in the higher gears you can put a larger front sprocket in the front. I hate doing the running hamster when going fast but since I rarely ride at high speeds I've been living with it on my cadence sensor ebike. I've yet to ride a proper torque sensor ebike. I had one...

When I rode road bikes a good chink of them came close to $10,000. I thought that was insane until I rode my friends Campy grouped De Rosa . Made my road bike feel cheap but I liked my Ultegra group set Iron Horse. Once I hit a certain mile marker, and loose a certain amount of weight, I'll...

I have a Chomebook as well. I don't know how to post links on it or even post photos on it. I use my Android based phone for that stuff. Terrible that I can use the phone better than this crazy computer. One thing I've never mastered is connecting a printer to a Chromebook!

I know a kid with a hover board. He tried to get me to ride it but I told him nope. He's like "Why, don't wanna fall on you butt?" and I was like "I don't wanna look like a fruit." So he gets mad because I called him "fruity" and he went to the local skate park on it afterwards. The skaters...

I get a bunch of positive comments when my wife and I are riding thru the Norfolk city and neighborhoods. When stopped we get the "How much?" and most people flinch when I say $1500ish. I know to some that might be a bunch of money but to me it covers all the bases I ask from a cargo ebike at a...

My co-worker and I have pulled apart 3 hub motors. It's not that hard, just watch your fingers because those magnets cause a pinch hazard! Give it a try! You might be able to rebuild the fork if 1)They can be taken apart. And 2)If they can be taken apart, then finding all the correct seals and...

Yup, what he said! Parking is a joke with an ebike. You will find yourself exploring. Only thing that you'll have to do is buy a good lock. Security is the most important part of ebike ownership, especially if exploring unknown areas. Pick a lock for the level of security your area requires, or...

Oh, I know the marketing strategy. I was telling a co-worker about it and he looked it up on his phone and didn't understand the "free" upgrades during the "sale". I don't blame Lectric at all for showing off what they accomplished at that price point. Again, I'll wait for real rider reviews...

The way Lectric has the ONE listed on their site it looks like you get the "upgraded" Pinion drive ($1,499) and Gates belt ($200) as a free upgrade. Very strange way to market it. So when the "sale"is over are we going to a regular Tourney 7 speed with chain drive? Again, very weird way to...

You might have mentioned one of the franchises that I have a current problem with! When you say discount tire and you talking about the chain or a smaller independent shop? Discount Tire was closed on the day I needed the vales changed or I would have given them a try.

I saw Coriz108 mention a Buddy 170i. I have a Buddy 125. I purposely ordered a new 125 because my road use is flat and I don't have good dealer support. No Check Engine Light for me, but I bet your EFI rides smoother. Anyways, I agree with the above concerning a test ride from a comparable...

I recently purchased 4 new tires for my Honda Fit. I originally took it there because both valve stems on the drivers side hissed when touched. Yes, we did need tires as well. Two days later my low tire lights come on. Went to fill the tires and realized the valves were not changed on the...

I drove 18wheelrs for awhile and would sometimes "loose" the Bill Of Laden paperwork. Never intentionally, but it would blow away and I didn't bother chasing it. I might chase a $20 bill but not paperwork. I hear container ships are much worse at paperwork/record keeping. I dreaded port drop...

I used to have like 6,000 record albums. Had the turntable (Rebel Revolver) and over rated audio gear (McIntosh). I gave most of the vinyl away. A friend came all the way from Florida and loaded the records in a Mitsubishi Mighty Max pick-up. This was well before the current vinyl boom. Sold off...

Lectric Xpedition. My wife and my 'hood explorer and my occasional commuter. Lectric XP 3.0 that no longer gets ridden. Needs a new home. Free to the right cause/person. Rad Power RadMini that might become my commuter. Swing King analog beach cruiser that I need to find a new home for. Free to...

This is awesome! Plain and simple this is the best thing I've read in a long time. I really need to get my DJI up and running. Our state is starting to use speed cameras in school zones and construction zones. They did a month issuing warnings and have recently went live. Combined they got...

It sounds like the buyer of babycaptains house is one of those "forever renters". The main company has agents that find houses to turn into forever rentals and they get a cut for finding the house. The buyer doesn't have the money, the investment company does, and there might be a problem or...
