    The Hundred Dollar Ebike Battery

    I'm a SCUBA diver and dabble with underwater photography. I have regular lights for diving purposes and also underwater strobes for photography. They all use name brand batteries. Last year there was a catastrophic fire on a dive boat during the night that resulted in ALL passengers dying...

    Hydraulic Disc Brake Servicing

    As it was a brand new bike they agreed to send replacement parts and oil. I expected to receive a new brake lever/reservoir and hoped for oil with a bleed kit. What they sent was the complete rear brake assembly: brake lever/reservoir + separate hydraulic line (rear length) + disk...

    Hydraulic Disc Brake Servicing

    You can handle this providing you've got a bleed kit, mineral oil, the videos on YT, and a little patience. I've never had hydraulic brakes before and my wife's brand new bike arrived with a mushy rear brake that 10 minutes after test riding the new set up, went to nothing (straight to the bar...

    Action Cam Options

    I was in a similar situation a few years ago, wanted an action cam to put on my motorbike but also wanted to use it for scuba diving with the family, outdoor family adventures (zip lining, bike riding, vacation stuff) as well as being able to hand it off to one of the 5 kids and not be worried...

    Compatible rack for Nevo GT with fenders?

    I've got an inbound Motow carrier, a couple others here on the forums have theirs already. 1) they're available now, no 1-3 month wait. 2) they're built here in the US (may or may not be important to you). 3) will easily support 2 heavy e-bikes. 4) can support a variety of wheel sizes...

    Trouble with my New Juggernaut HD Duo

    We recently received a Stunner LT 20" that had an issue (leaking brake lever/reservoir). Connected with them over chat/email and they made it right. I could either take it to an LBS or could fix it myself. As we're quite rural and LBS has a backlog I opted for the latter. They sent me the...

    "Inventor Who Built 'Wheelchair' Out of Electric Bikes for Girlfriend Starts Mass-Production"

    They received that as a gift from one of his friends. He (gifter) has a good video showing how it all went down and started with the premise of what to buy your friend when he's getting married when he "has everything he wants/needs". They are an awesome couple doing some awesome things (he...

    Car Rack advice for Specialized Como on a Subaru Forester

    We have two vehicles, one with a 2" and one with a 1.25" receiver. I wanted a carrier for 2 ebikes that would fit both receivers. I also need to be able to carry both a 20x4 wheel step-thru bike and a 26x4 wheel bike, which complicates things a little. The Thule was the one that made the...

    Early Stages But Kyle Chittock of Bolton Ebikes is Alright With Me

    Not sure the website gets updated as timely as it could, however for those that have ordered a bike, Kyle does send a periodic email that has a timeline update for most if not all of the models. If you listen to his podcasts he may also mention updates in those before the email goes out...

    Blackbird

    @Needforspeeeed it will come with tubes installed so I'll run that way for a couple of weeks, and then as it also comes ready to run tubeless I will probably try that and put the tube in the bag as a backup. Will have to look at that pump. Guess the main thoughts will be to check out the chain...

    Unreal 5 star delivery from biktrix.. Thanks..

    Amazon brake bleed kit arrived a day early!! Got the Biktrix supplied replacement brake installed, and then used the Amazon kit with the oil also from Biktrix to bleed it and get the air out. All is well with the bike!! Sent a reply to the CSR at Biktrix to complete the reimbursement for the...

    Ecotrec Dolphin vs Lectric Step Thru for short people

    Can't comment on those two in particular. It's more expensive but we recently took delivery of the 20" Bixtrik Stunner LT for my 5' wife. Very happy with it. We also rented/rode the RadMini Step-Thru 2's and she was very comfortable on that too. Rode them around town and up/down some steep...

    Unreal 5 star delivery from biktrix.. Thanks..

    We ordered the 20" Stunner LT for my wife, knew at time of ordering that there would be a 4 week delay on the standard battery, and a 2 week delay on the Thudbuster seat post, otherwise bike was in stock. Think the order was placed August 18th. Knowing my Blackbird won't be in until November...

    Blackbird

    Blackbird on order for November delivery!! Looking forward to seeing some reviews soon from the August batch (think it's been delayed though?)! Questions: 1) Comes with a dropper seat post, seems like a cool idea, but is a Thudbuster a better option for rails to trails (unpaved gravel) for...

    Rented ebikes (Rad Mini's) when visiting Catalan Island recently. Wife thought they were great and would get her back riding after a 20yr hiatus!! She's not much more than 5' and wanted something small and easy to handle and she loved the fat tire experience. After riding both road bikes and...
