I'm obviously older now but in my younger years we had the "legendary" Worksman beach cruiser. This super evil heavy bicycle was extra heavy in our day because the wheels were still steel. We rode these military grade beach cruisers everywhere. And I'm sure all of you remeber the Schwinn Sting...

Mr. Tuffy tire liners. Best liners out there.

Same here. I purchased my XP 3.0 and not even 2 months later they introduced the Xpedition. While I love the XP, ever since I purchased the Xpedition the poor XP just sits. I still love both ebikes though. That Ride1up hits on the main complaints of the XP 3.0, a easy to remove battery and more...

Do you have a Pedego dealer nearby? You can rent a ebike and/or go on guided rides with their group. Test the waters as much as possible WITH the wife. A surprise purchase ebike can go both ways. Pedego is a great way to test ride without any pressure to purchase, and they have everything from...

I like 20" wheels. As long as your'e not hauling butt over a big hole you'll be fine. As to the choice between the 2 are you buying local or DTC? Sometimes the DTC brands will toss in freebies to sweeten the deal. Shame you can't find any of the choices in person for a test ride.

What price point reflects the title of a discount ebike? Or what other factors make a ebike a bad value, or earns the title of a POS ebike? My RadRunner 1 was a great value. I rode it 14 miles each way to work Monday thru Friday and ran errands with it on the weekend. I stayed on top of the...

Travel related, just not by bike. I used to go to California every year for 2 weeks in the summer, and 2 weeks at Xmass. I got to the point that I didn't pack any shirts or socks. As soon as I landed in LAX I'd walk to a bicycle shop, buy a ex-rental bike. Then I'd jump on the light rail with my...

Cheap also means living within your means, and by no means is that a bad thing. I know so many co-workers who are owned by their possessions. They buy a big dollar car then have a panic attack when the big dollar repair or service bill comes. That's on them, I'm happy being frugal. On this...

I still have my Lectric XP 3.0 after buying the Lectric Xpedition. The original idea was to have a small folder on hand if needed. The XP fits in both of our cars no problem but its heavy and has many pinch points when folding. But the XP just sits now. Not good for a ebike but I think the...

BUZZ makes good ebikes for the price. Great for getting outside and enjoying a ride. Welcome aboard!

I second Slaphappy. Get a good bleed kit and learn how to work on your brakes. I have Zoom brakes on my Xpedition and they work great with me and my wife bombing around. You could also upgrade the pads to a compound that suits your riding needs. I've yet to bleed my Zoom brakes but I know the...

Not sure how many of you are into scooters but I just passed on a chance to buy a Italjet Dragster 50cc. This has always been a dream scooter since it came out in the mid-90's. This one was a 1998 model with only 580 miles. It was in great condition, no crash damage and runs as it should. Let me...

Current value in my eyes, Ride1up Priority V2. Not stupid heavy, plenty of power and no worrying about gears. Just doesn't have the "T" word. But wow, that ebike is a heck of a value. Not sure how easily the battery can be removed to help further reduce weight when loading/manhandling. I hate...

I'm not so sure. I consider any ebike of good quality starting around $1200. Now this is the discussion we had at work recently. A co-worker wanted to buy something for $1000. He didn't have the $1000 for this "great deal" and thus missed out. I was like "What adult cannot come up with $1000...

I purchased a DJI 3 action camera and never got around to figuring it out. I'm a luddite to begin with and also found the chest mount very cumbersome, so I quickly lost motivation. As I type this I don't know where the box with the DJI in it went! I hope it hasn't fallen into the thrift store...

Regen charging is just a code word for electric regen braking. A friend has a electric kick scooter and it has regen braking that also puts energy back in to the battery. He's never seen any advantage in the battery being charged but the regen braking is nice! I want to ride that new BMW CE 04...

This is a funny observation. My wife and I have been riding the Xpedition as much as her hip will let her, and her booty endurance as well. I tell her to let me know as soon as she feels pain coming and we'll head home. Anyways, strangers in the neighborhood wave and say "Cool bike!" and we...

I ran the Pirelli Angel tires on my Piaggio Liberty 150 when i had it. Great tires.

My commute by ebike is dangerous, and I said I'm done doing it. But I've been riding more and more before work (I work nights) and on the weekends so I might try the work commute again. That being said, if I commute to work on my ebike, it won't be on crazy hot days or during rain threats. I...

Before Covid changed me I would go to a show every 2 weeks. I don't wear earplugs but my wife does. Holy cow some of those shows are loud! So loud never seemed to affect me. Since I haven't been to a show since Covid loud affects me now. Loud car stereo, my JVC GigaTube in the garage and jets...
