    Sounds like it's time to take that box of chocolates out of the sun 🤣😂🤣

    Grin Freegen regen on geared hub

    Seems odd to argue against such an innovation. It appears that it would be a little to no additional cost feature add on to an already well established hub motor. It's like being against the addition of the anti lock feature on your auto braking. I'm not a hub motor user nor do I plan on...

    Grin Freegen regen on geared hub

    This possibily explains why a majority of the world's innovations of the past century have come from N. America and near nothing if any has come from Eastern EU. Think outside the box or be confined to it for eternity.

    Freegen - New Hub Motor Innovation That Is Definitely Worth Watching

    Not if you apply mostly the rear brake and feather the front as needed. Then add that most braking situations do not require 100% stopping power and your 30% is meaningless.

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    Since most earbuds effectively block most ambient noise a small speaker is far more practical. When riding I prefer music to be part of the ambient and not so immersive anywho.

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    My speaker is tiny and even then played at a personal volume . Been using it for years even before e was a part of my biking and not once was I put in a situation where I was unaware of my surroundings because of it. No problem walking and chewing gum either...😉 It did almost get me into a...

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    Most definitely! Small Bluetooth/ sd card speaker mounted on the handlebars that's easily controlled blindly with buttons on its side. Not loud enough to block or insulate ambient like anything in/on the ears or annoy others. Totally enhances speed sensation and adds motivation for hill...

    What size is my wheel?

    Yes... I chose the moon as it's reachable with my frequent flyer miles and that I already have a few craters mapped out to ride. And not to take anything away from Mr. Pedaluma but those instructions are included with every bike computer I've ever seen since... Oh I don't know... Forever? Imo...

    What size is my wheel?

    You want to match the computer to the markings on the tire. Some of the more sophisticated computers do allow for you to input tire circumference but for the most part the difference is negligible unless you are riding for NASA

    intersting way of charging

    Actually I prefer a granite drill core.. Much lower rolling resistance. But the key takeaway from my statement was totally unnecessary. Then add expensive, inefficient and potentially dangerous and you'll have a full understanding of the reasoning.

    PROOF You Don't Need a [tent] Footprint!

    I make my own footprint out of old tire tubes. Then I bring along a big can of rubber cement so I can multipurpose it into an emergency parachute, hot air balloon or white water raft.

    What's an "SUV" ebike?

    Honestly.. I don't think anyone in the US is losing sleep over the question. It's considered a very broad term like the word truck. Like I said before it can be family oriented light duty.. to luxury.. to hard-core off road. This is the first I'm ever hearing any discussion over it and that's...

    What's an "SUV" ebike?

    Definitely... Since becoming a huge part of market share every vehicle even remotely associated wants to be known as an SUV. There really is no definitive definition.

    What's an "SUV" ebike?

    Actually you can buy a wide range from the off-road equipped to the economical to luxury....but all carry the SUV nomenclature. Sport Utility defined by aiding in outdoor activities. Most in the US opt for the luxury so not really ready for off-road. A truly hard core off road vehicle needs to...

    Download the software that Tom linked to and install it on a Windows PC. Read the article as it's pretty complete. But basically you will use the downloaded software to connect to the display cable of the motor controller and make some adjustments. But first you'll want to save the current...

    What's an "SUV" ebike?

    The JW definitely have their niche but I find them more bias towards trail. My break is probably 70/30 /paved/trail so I was hoping for a little better. Now I just drop a few mph and go in a little more cautious and it hasn't been a problem. I do appreciate their trail performance especially as...
