I would find 20"x2.1" tires jaw rattling with the pavement we have in my city. I could not read the specs, himiway website locked my computer up & I had to reboot. But if 4" tires, fighting the drag of 20 psi tires is not fun if the power fails in the rain. I lost one phase last Sunday in the...

I carry boards, conduit, boxes, groceries, spare parts & tools on my stretch frame cargo bike. The long items tie to the carrier and run through my legs then a loop tied to my handlebar. You see in the picture it is drop frame and suitable for short people even though it has 26" wheels. There...

Bike in post # 14 is not a step through. Being of a certain age, that is a requirement I personally am not flexible about. As my muscles are no longer flexible. Regards throttle requirement. I just rode my cargo bike ~20 times to my tractor stalled in the field with parts and tools. With all...

Welcome to the site and the electric side of the hobby. That battery is severely stealth. Mine is 11" long and 6" high.

I can tell you a couple of places to buy a pile of trash that won't work. Btrbattery of ebay, and sun ebike warehouse of Baldwin City CA via Amazon. Got my money back from ebay, not Amazon. Both vendors probably dead in 2018, ebay & amazon store names are cheap. If you did a conversion, you can...

Due to rude language and personal attacks Stefan Mikes is ignored.

The stem is not rubber so I would guess this is tubeless. You can determine if the leak is one point or many places by airing up and painting the rim with water with dilute detergent in it. A 1" paint brush is useful. Bubbles will form at the leak. If it is one point mark both the rim & tire...

Welcome to the site. We have a frequent poster who really likes his haibike. I find bikes with quick steering a hazard to my chin. This includes 99.9999999999% of mountain bikes built since 1990. I've managed 12000 no-fall miles on a stretch frame cargo bike.

None of these bicycles has any listing on the brand forums of what troubles have occurred. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/categories/discussion-by-brand-user-reviews.168/ No specification sheet indicates whether the frame spokes rims and cables are made of real steel and aluminum, or...

I've missed 3 pages of discussion while out in the country. I still don't understand why you don't drop $760 to convert one of the bikes you like. https://ebikeling.com/products/750w-geared-ebike-conversion-kit?variant=40299065901122 with the 17.5 ah battery that gets me 30 hilly miles with...

A donkey or mule would be real handy for toting garbage cans of wood to throw in the sinkhole. I spend half my summer doing that. OTOH I would have to live out at the summer property to take care of the donkey in the winter. I would have to rake up & store hay. No packaged food for diabetics...

I've been warning posters on here since 2017 they do not want a 20" x 2" tire bike. Not unless they live in perfect pavement (west) Germany. And 3" up tires adict the riderto the battery. With those draggy tires power fails you call a tow truck. I've ridden my bike 25 miles unpowered after...

Been that way since my first hand brake bike in 1966. An AMF hercules. They were copies of Raleigh & Sherwood products from the UK, that cost 30% more. I hated hand brakes then and still do. Rim brakes are useless in the rain. Disk brakes are better in the rain, but not as good as the Bendix...

Wind runs my pulse up about double what weight does, and I cross 70 hills on my weekly commute. September 2017 before power, I fought a 25 mph wind on 30 miles back to town, and it took me 5.7 hours at 120-168 bpm pulse. Exhausting. I added on a motor & battery that winter. With electricity...

All the bike motors are Chinese even bosch. Mahle is swiss but at 250 watts is fairly useless. Mahle quit selling conversion kits in 2018, mahle now comes only with bikes. I got 4500 miles out of a 1300 w ebikeling geared hub (gears wore out), burned the wire harness off a Mac in the rain due...

I've spilled at 25 mph over the handlebars onto gravel in long pant long sleeve dickies workwear. No road burn, nothing broke. In hot summer Red hat makes a thick welders tunic that is 100% cotton. 2017 I did break the chin but that was before I found how to buy a helmet with a chin guard that...

The ones on ebay weigh about a pound. Look for max 54.6 v on the label. Connector often does not match what is on your bike. Buy connectors at newark or digikey. Pick up soldering iron and rosin core solder at the same time. Also perhaps some heat shrink tubing. I shrink it around the...

2.1" is the largest that will fit my bike. I would not run less than 40 psi, although it takes 55 on the back of my bike to keep the rim from banging on the holes & ridges. I buy Kenda or giant knobbies for best trash resistance. I keep the knobs taller than 3/32". No slime, liners, or...

My mother's father had to drop school age 11 and start digging coal, to keep the house the mine provided them. His father died in an "accident" on the tipple (processing plant). He had been making A's. He bought land age 23 and built a house out of used lumber from abandoned mine camps for his...

I have some compression glove Amazon warehouse discards that I use for yard work. Found all around the sidewalk back to town from the warehouse. Lots of people discharged at Amazon. I do not wear those on the bike. I do wash them before use. I wear $1 polyester/cotton garden gloves typically...
