    Ebikes aren't cheap; Cheaper than monthly Rx's and Gym Membership

    After pedalling to work on my Trek FX for nearly 3 years, it was starting to get old. I commute by bike because we're a one-car family and my wife needs it as she is the caregiver for her parents. That leaves me with the option of taking 3 buses to get from the front door of my house to the...

    Yukon tires: 4" to 3"?

    Assembled my RadRover on Saturday and swapped out the stock Juggernaut with Origin8 Supercell before its first ride. Tire swap was a cinch, but getting the rear wheel to drop back in just right was another matter. Anyway, the Supercell tires are SUPER quiet and track nicely. I drove myself nuts...

    Sealer for tire flats-Green Slime, Flat Attack, Zefal or Fix A Flat for Bikes?

    Would like to hear from someone who has used them on a fat-tire bike if they make them in that size. Pretty pricey, but if they work...

    Beware the Bicycle Lane

    They put one in Honolulu along King Street. I rode it once and didn't feel safe because of the narrow width for each direction of travel as you stated. Personally, I prefer a bike lane on each side of the road.

    Is Voltbike still around?

    I'm not familiar with how the motor is integrated into the Enduro so this may be a dumb question, but is it possible or even feasible to pull the existing motor and replace it with a new one?

    What impact will e-biking have on marked bicycle routes?

    @Mr. Coffee Love the "car-free Sundays" idea in the video. Can you imagine that in any major city in the US? Wishful thinking. Probably take another major oil crisis for bikes to get serious attention here.

    Stolen In Toronto! Help keep an eye open

    They use to hang horse thieves. My ebike is my horse.

    What impact will e-biking have on marked bicycle routes?

    On the last 1.2 miles of my commute home, which is an average 5% grade with the steepest section at 10% the City and County of Honolulu is actually putting in a bike lane but only halfway up the grade. I guess they figure we must walk our bikes up from that point so no sense on wasting paint...

    Nice box. How much weight did that add to the bike?

    Finally took my Rad Rover out for a proper speed run.

    Awesome, thanks. One last question, did you use any blue loctite when reinserting the screws or did it seem pretty secure without it?

    Finally took my Rad Rover out for a proper speed run.

    Did you simply cut a slit in the bottom in order to pull the bag over the battery and its mount as most seem to do, or did you go through the trouble of removing the battery mount and then remounting it through the bag? I guess the latter only requires a couple of holes in the bag for the...

    Finally took my Rad Rover out for a proper speed run.

    Used my wife's FB account to join the Rad Bikes Owners Group and there's quite a few RadRover riders that got the bag to conceal the battery. I just ordered one myself to attract less attention to the fact that I'm riding an ebike. Without any ebike laws here in Honolulu it leaves things open to...

    Origin8 Supercells Fat Tire Update

    Thanks for the info. The reviews are mixed on how effective tire liners are but I figured since I'm putting new tires on I may as well give it a shot. All of my riding will be on asphalt roads with the usual hazards of glass shards, nails, screws, etc.

    Origin8 Supercells Fat Tire Update

    Going to forego the sealant for now. Mixed reviews and I'm afraid of the mess it will make inside the tire if the hole is too big and it can't stop the leak.

    Origin8 Supercells Fat Tire Update

    I ordered a pair from BicycleBuys.com and received them yesterday for my RadRover that arrives on Tuesday. Going to insert Mr. Tuffy 3XL tire liners too before I even hit the road. BTW, BicycleBuys was the only merchant I could find that still has them in stock. They're the 3rd party seller on...

    Feel like your bike frame lettering is like a giant billboard?

    I wonder if an auto paint shop would paint your bike at a discount if you brought it down ready to go with whatever color was being sprayed that day. If they're painting a red Mustang or a black F150 that day, it's some extra $$ for them with paint that's already in the sprayer and you get a...

    Last Friday. Received my UPS tracking number this morning but it's not in the UPS system yet. I emailed Rad and they said it will probably show up tomorrow.
