    Helmets...Wear Them!!!

    How do you manage your ability to safely pursue anything when you are in the air falling off your bike? Your daily living skills will be dramatically compromised with traumatic brain injury. No "high ground" here, just common sense

    Helmets...Wear Them!!!

    The tone seems to be that wearing a helmet is somehow infringing on personal rights. I wouldn't tell anyone what to do but I do suggest a good medical insurance policy if you ride w/o a helmet, one that covers long term care

    Haibike help choosing

    Already bought the bike and have over 1,000mi. on it now with no issues (knock on wood).. I ended up with the trekking 6.0 since my wife wanted an ebike too and she won't ride off pavement. I hate to hear stories like yours and I bought mine at a dealership just so I'd have someone to go to bat...

    Helmets...Wear Them!!!

    Some people end up breaking their necks because they were wearing a helmet ( or so the choice crowd says) so no-one should ever wear one because this happened one or two times? Support choice? If you choose not to wear a helmet, you should also choose a very good insurance policy so taxpayers...

    EBike Shaming

    I posted this before but our ebike group stopped for a photo on the heritage trail (sleeping bear dunes MI). We asked a roadie to take our picture as their group was also stopped at the same spot. We were all smiling standing next to our bikes waiting for the photo to be taken and one of the...

    EBike Shaming

    I can't let enough people ride our ebikes just to see the ear to ear grin and the "I have to get one of these!" comments after just a short ride. NO-ONE has ever said "oh, I don't like this"

    EBike Shaming

    It's all making America great again Afren. The upside is that bullet proof vests are becoming fashionable and less expensive (except for the ones that come from China)

    EBike Shaming

    I don't feel any shame for riding my ebike, I smile the whole time but dealing with roadies spitting on my front wheel? I'm certainly not to blame for that and the attitudes that go with it

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    Just for fun on our last e-bike ride on a popular multi use path I started yelling "CHEATER!" to other e-bikes as I passed them, or they passed me on my e-bike.. The confused looks I got were great with a few just laughing and others saying "on really? you're riding one too" When that happened...

    So, how many miles do you get on a charge?

    When I bought my trekking Haibike I thought I would need a second battery for long rides. WRONG. My butt gives out before the battery does. I can now stretch my range to 50+mi. as I'm in better shape than when I first got the bike and have learned how to get the best efficiency from the gears...

    Extending Battery Life

    I bought a dongle for my Haibike to unlock the 20mph speed limit but rarely exceed 20mph.. It's just not worth the extra power consumption to go fast IMO

    You should volunteer to be a good will ambassador for the watt wagon and bike the country coast to coast letting people try it

    Extending Battery Life

    We also thought we'd want/need extra batteries but have decided 50mi. rides (if that) is about all our butts can handle. Unless we want to do overnight camping trips with the bikes we don't need more range.
