    Less assistance at two battery bars left after FW update at bike shop?

    I have found that you get less assistance when the battery is getting low. This seems normal to me in my limited experience with ebikes. Is this others experience. Getting off on a bit of a tangent here. Sorry!

    2nd ebike, not a cheater :)

    I hear the same thing, but have road 300 miles farther then last year and I have had lots of crap weather up here so far. Took my beach cruiser for a ride yesterday and it goes way faster then it used to, so I know I'm getting back into biking shape. I may end up with a analog road bike again...

    Power consumption when stopped

    Like Ahicks I turn mine off in case someone thought to take it for a ride when my back is turned. I could run them down if the bikes power is off, but could not if it is powered on.

    7 speed option

    I have a 7 speed ebike and use them all. Can help conserve battery . Sometimes I shut motor off on slight downhill to conserve battery. Sometimes I shut off motor when riding with analog bikes. Better to have them and not need then being stuck in one gear and miserable.

    Who here has used dog spray?

    Ammonia works! Had to do that one time with a German Shepherd. It was a farm dog that would sit in the middle of the road and wait for bikers. I got tired of having to go as fast as I could on my road bike in my younger days and hope not to get bite. So instead of going fast I went slow and gave...

    Have you ever actually weighed your ebike as you normally ride it? How and what did it weigh?

    My Buzz weighs around 60 pounds with battery and full water bottle. Seems light to me , but anything under 80 pounds feels like a 10 pound bag of flour to me. Still working as a mason at 60 years old.

    Do you ever get tired of riding your ebike?

    Not yet, but I have had mine only 1 month. Up here in Wisconsin we keep getting teased by spring like weather then it gets cold and windy , so my riding has been sporadic. Going to be in the sixties today and looking forward to a nice ride on the Green circle trail. Feel like a kid again !

    Batter charger

    The charger that came with my bike also gets hot and has no fan. The counter I charge on also gets hot. I have started puting the charger on a coffee cup and now it doesn't get as hot with some air circulation under it.

    Don't take your hands off the handlebars of your ebike !

    Hands on bars good. Having good balance on bike good. Wearing mask in public good. Brushing by me in public without a mask on not good for mask less person. I will throw a elbow your way ! I'm a liberal red neck !

    Best Locks for Ebikes

    Do bring your bike in with you if possible. I had a mountain bike stolen that was locked in a hallway of a apartment while the snow was melting off it. That being said I have a hard time leaving my new ride out of sight for very long. Had to many bikes stolen over the years, and they didn't cost...

    Coyote encounters

    I talk with these people, and from what they say they kill wolves and coyotes because they think the animals are killing off the deer heard. You hear on the news about livestock and pets being killed, but most I have spoken too about the subject want to kill wolves because of the deer. I also...

    Coyote encounters

    We can live with animals, we don't have to kill them. We just have to be smarter than them, though it can be really frustrating trying to outsmart them. In Wisconsin they have started killing wolves again, and it is a hateful thing to do. They kill because they hate, and hate is not a good...

    Is $150 a lot to pay for a (very) basic new mid-drive e-Bike assembly?

    150$ not to bad , but you can buy a torque wrench for way less and learn a new skill.😉

    Any Hammock campers here ?

    Did a week long paddle on the Paint river in the U.P of Michigan and Hammock camped the whole way. I liked it for many reasons. I could set up anywhere and liked being off the ground. It's often wet around rivers. Just know that your backside can get cold. Packed up a lot smaller and lighter...

    Anyone figured out a chain ring protection option for pant cuffs?

    If I cant find my leg band I just tuck my pant leg into my sock, but you need to have real socks on.

    Retired and 75, should I get an ebike?

    I spent my stimulus check on a Buzz ebike. Have had it for a week now and I love it. I have no complaints with it yet other then it not having a rear rack, though it has mounts for one. Check out the web site. Trump bought me a wide cut Toro mower last year, and Biden bought me a Buzz ebike. I...
