I agree, I think its a third nanny state, a third tax revenue, and a third legitimate safety concern for others. Nanny state is that if it goes fast and isn't DOT approved then an individual can be putting themselves at risk (which I think people should be allowed to do, my body, my right)...

I'll probably skip it, as if its damaged on delivery that alone might be a PITA if no one has heard of a reputable company selling this chassis. Suspension doesn't have more travel than seat posts, just thought it was neat since it would fully suspend the frame too for drinks and what not. I...

Yes, that was my concern if no one has experience with any of these Chinese brands which sounds like its the case. Just appeared really cool on paper having hydraulic disk brakes, front and rear suspension, a 1000 watt mid drive I figured would be extra fast thanks to gearing, and can be...

As a pedestrian, I shout "CHEATER" at kids on skateboards, regular bicycles, you name it. I don't discriminate. I might also have tourette's or autism. /s

Sorry that's what I meant, my landscaping batteries include a BMS circuit board inside them, which I believe most battery packs do these days (even my little drone batteries have internal circuitry inside their plastic case) so maybe I wasn't understanding what OP was referencing and was just...

I don't know, statistics show that civilians with lawful sidearms have a murder conviction rate 1/10th that of police officers themselves, and a popular DJI Mavic Mini weighs only 249 grams with self-collapsing propellers meaning you could pretty much fly top speed into someone's chest and it...

Just to add that amp hours doesn't really tell you how much capacity the battery has either, and watt hours is more useful for that. I have a small 10AH power brick and a much larger 2AH lawn mower battery, but the big difference is the 10AH brick is at 5V meant to power tablets and mobile...

I'm not convinced it works like that. There are many officers that get quite mad when civilians have some of the same tools that they have, such as an open carry sidearm, and HPD still regularly writes civilians speeding tickets even though I don't think anyone has ever witnessed one coming to...

The benefit of being employed is supposed to be that you don't go hungry and have a roof over your head, like in the majority of countries. That was the hilarious problem we had in Texas until just very recently, people were paid $525 from the state and $600 from the feds NOT to work, $1125 a...

Sarcasm doesn't really play well on the internet, so apologies if I'm oblivious. But do you really think that most people that have been unemployed for long periods of time want to work but just don't have a way of getting to a jobsite? Illegal aliens cross rivers and deserts full of dangerous...

When it comes to projecting authority though, mounted police sitting way up high on a 2000 pound horse with thundering hooves coming at you can't be beat. You're naturally looking up instead of eye level, and while you might be inclined to just push over a guy on an e-bike, you're not going to...

With the SO squared away, I'm now looking for a bike for myself. As mentioned before, I was a fan of the Lectric XP 2.0 style of bike. In researching, I came across a similar style of bike with a little bit of rear suspension, but in a virtually unlimited number of Chinese clones with...

BBB is a joke. The only thing that separates an F company from an A company is that the latter company paid BBB for "customer relationship management".

I just realized I didn't post what bike he has. He also has a road bike, but the mountain bike to convert says its a Trek ZR 9000 rocker link. We bought it used, but looks like its more ancient than I thought being a 2004 model, woah! This is a stock photo of what it looks like except that...

Shared some info w/ hubby over lunch, and he is going to look into the DIY option, and he also mentioned regarding battery capacity that he could make a connector to wire them in parallel and that they even have up to 5AH batteries for our mower which I wasn't aware of. So we might just DIY...

Anything is sustainable if you put government regulations in to force its adoption and overcome a unsuccessful business model by dumping taxpayer money into it. The appeal of "free" stuff loses its luster when you think long and hard about where that money is coming from, which is your back...

Thanks, the Sonic Saber is already on my list! Regarding that motorcycle inspired bicycle, kidding aside, I think there's actually a good market for pedal bikes not actually meant to be pedaled, as a legal loophole for those that want a ultra-light low speed "motorcycle" that can use bicycle...

Thanks, but the Sondors indicates "up to 20mph", I think I'm going to use previous advice and stick with 750watt+ options that can be unlocked for 25mph+. 👍

Thanks, I'll definitely research a lot, minus the local bike shops. We have few here and its usually some long haired teenager that insists that unless I spend at least $8K on a carbon fiber bicycle that I'm some lowly pleb not worth his time, lol! Its like please, once you add rider weight...

Thanks, and to clarify I have no expectation of affording the fastest e-bikes that exist, just looking to get the fastest that happens to be budget class since we're miserly, heh! Here in greater Houston we don't really have bicycle paths anywhere or a bicycle culture at all really, and there's...
