About 3 weeks ago my neighbor who is an avid bicyclist asked me if I wanted to go for a ride around our city. He is a pedal only guy and knows many of the bike paths here in Winnipeg. And he was OK with me on my BionX 500 road bike. So we loaded the bikes onto his van and went to the western...

I,ve been riding my bike to work all summer so except for a couple of camping trips and a few shopping trips have rarely used either of my 2 cars. One is a 24 yr old Miata bought as a self retirement gift that gets infrequent use and the 2nd is a 4wd Nissan truck for those camping trips and...

the Talon is a pedal only bike for now and i was hoping to hear what type of handling a front hub drive would provide. I won,t be doing anything quick with this idea though, just still in planning stages. The prices are daunting though, once you factor in a battery you are up to $1200 approx and...

Not sure about a cover saying steal me or not. I did forget to mention I also put a pinhead bolt system on the seat on my ride so some idiot can,t easily steal the seat. I have the pinhead bolt for the quick release front wheel also but have not applies it yet.

I have been riding my e-bike to work since this spring. I work right in the middle of our downtown area and theft of bicycles is on the rise in my city. So I bought 2 Kryptonite locks, one is a New York forgetabout it U-lock and the 2nd is a Kryptonite chain link lock wrapped in a nylon sheath...

Well after checking this site darned if I didn't find a 27.5 rim at $54' meant for a hub motor, what a great resource this site is

I have a Giant Talon mountain bike that i would like to install a small 250 to 350 watt geared hub motor in the front. Only problem is that the bike has 27.5 wheels and 32 spokes and so far all the hub motors I,ve seen have 36 spokes. So far my search for an aftermarket rim has been...

I have a Bion X equipped road bike that I really like, it has skinny 700C tires and no suspension. The skinny tires make it very easy to peddle. Also purchased a MTB with 27.5" dia 2 1/4" wide tires with front suspension and if I was to do it over I think maybe the wider tire Mountain bike...

I have a road bike I bought very early this spring, it has 700C tires, I have a bit over a thousand km,s on it and really enjoy it. I also bought a Giant Talon 2 MTB Purchased a bit later that I bought to ride with a good friend. The Talon was going to get a Bafang mid drive installed but then...

It's not the mounts falling off. With one the lens popped off due to a bump and was run over by a car, On another going up a curb caused the problem, most of these lights have a plastic slide on bracket and using one for a few weeks the small plastic indent thats supposed to click in place to...

I,ve ordered a cygolite and also picked up a nice Serfas TL2000 as well since the cygolite won,t show up for a week. I took an old seat post and cut off a 2 1/2 long piece of it and drilled 2 holes through it, the top hole with a 1/8 bolt through it and the bottom with a 1/4 hole through it. The...

Great looking product, thanks once again J.R. I believe I will order one plus 2 rack mounts as well.

I have lost 4 tail lights so far. One never even made it to the bike it just fell apart. Next one when I hit a bump the lens and leds fell out and before I could get them a car ran them over. Second was a good quality usb rechargeable light. That one I think fell out of my pannier bag on the...

I measure the cost of my equipment by a very simple method. Take the buy in and divide by the usage. My bion x 500 powered bike cost me including tax and some extras about 4500. It just turned over its first 1000 kilometers used mostly as a commuter. Minus the parking fees I did not have to pay...

I bought a factory made ebike, no regrets but I do plan on building one now that I know a bit more. I picked up a front suspension equipped mountain bike with hydraulic disc brakes and plan on putting a Bafang mid drive motor on it, hopefully this winter sometime. dont worry about the...

I noticed my helmet had a couple of cracks in it so I decided to pick up a replacement. Got a Bontrager Solstice MIPS. Feels quite comfortable and I hope I never need to test it out. Took a look at my old helmet before I tossed it and the sticker said 1994. 22 years not bad, if the new one...

Since I'm a newcomer to e bikes I only have about 900 km's on my road bike equipped with the Bion x HD500 rear hub. No issues and the battery range seems to be getting better. It's being used mainly to commute to work which is about 18 km's one way depending on my route. And I am using the level...

I agree with you, usually I work the evening shift at least 1 week of the month and finish up at 10pm and it's dark I too have 2 headlights up front and 1 very bright red taillight that I set to flash plus I wear one of those cheap reflective vests highway workers use. My panniers have...

I am supposed to be a retiree as well but decided not to stop and got a part time job with Stats Can, at least it was initially said to be part time, has turned out to be 5 days a week for a few years now. I am planning to retire for good either early this winter or next spring. The fellow...

Nice to hear your enjoying your EVO HB1 disc. I,ve got almost 800 km,s on mine and its still works great. i did get a flat on my way to work one day, the rear tire picked up a small stiff wire about 3/8ths inch long. So now in the panniers there is a 15mm wrench, a park multitool for all the...
