I am also concerned about even decent ebikes being rented in the wrong areas. Having grown up in NYC and a frequent visitor, I admire the skill of bike messengers and delivers in Midtown. I wouldn't last long; and even at their skill level these are dangerous occupations. It might be better...

IMO, a major reason for small aircraft stuck in old technology has to with as serious a bugaboo as govt. regulation, out of control tort and product liability costs. GARA (General Aviation Revitalization Act) provided there is generally no product liability on small planes 18+ years old...

I bought first ebike on impulse after seeing a Prdego ad. A year or so before my daughter persuaded me to ride in a 30 mile tour that turned out to be 40. I haden't ridden in several years and suffered on my old hybrid. A cop pulled me over and ordered me to cool off in his cruiser! After a...

Attached is a link from a gambling guru showing LV area trails. I usually bike to the west, but the Boulder City loop has been strongly recomended. According to Nevada law (last I looked) ebikes are allowed in any trails where there was federal funding involved. https://wizardofvegas.com/trails/

Great news! However from the news and chatter, the forces of reaction and entitlement are mobilizing for public hearings to reverse this policy. Therefore, I propose the following: Mass emails in support to the Secretary; First ebike person of the year award, which if won by the Secretary...

Test ride a Stromer ST5, the Swiss watch of ebikes and more practical than tourbillion movement.

Gasoline a giffen good? Examples in eco class are potatoes in Ireland and vodka in Russia/Poland, when the price goes down of a staple item real inome increases and less is cosumed as there is more real income for superior goods.

It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie

Court, I love your reviews and the information you provide. On the Editors Choice section you still have a mid-drive category considering so many of the 2 wheeler selections are mid-drives? I suggest the honorable mention be subdived between mids and hubs.

Court had a guide entitled "best electric bikes for small people. It is now under the heading "electric bike guides, resources " in the forum section. Some what dated, but should be helpful.

I understand that wattage rating is a measure of continuous output. Since 750 Watts is generally the road limit in the US, I would much rather have a bike equipped with a motor branded at 750 Watts with continuous measured at Death Valley conditions than one branded at 1000 or 1250 Watts. As...

Eflow nitro Pedego city commuter 48v

Says frame weighs 46 Lbs. Bike must be "light as a feather " with the dinosaur attached, lol.

Costco has via internet order Genze bikes for $1,299 . Ends 4/22/18. These look like the e100 series ($1499 list), however specs say 350 hub motor like the 200 series ($1,899 list). If this checks out, Costco is a great place to buy because of its strong return/warranty program.

Whichever you choose, don't store the battery in a garage, keep it in a/c house or fridge. Heat affects battery life.

Jim, IN your prior post you described your wife as somewhat of a lazy rider, who liked the Pedego after a test ride. There is a good chance she will not like a center drive like the Bulls where it is more critical to continually shift to the right gear. Analogy of automatic transmission versus...

Interesting challenge. Good luck and best wishes. Are you planning to use a class 1 or 2 ebike or class 3? Maximum power engine (750w) May be optimum, if it allows 20mph on uphills and faster human powered descents. Thereby a rolling course could be better than a flat one. I'm sure you will...

Keith, as a traditionalist, I somewhat agree with your position and support your right not to write such a letter. Many docs refuse to prescribe medical marijuana because of uncertain science and dosages as well as there existing better treatments in most cases. However, there are to issues to...

Has anyone requested or procured a note from his or her MD that an ebike is needed because of physical limitations and is recommended for exercise and balance maintenance issues. Potential uses are carrying a copy for trail cops and taking a medical deduction for the ebike much like a stairs...
