    Timpo, thanks for those videos. Very kind to assemble that. And Art Deco (great handle, by the way!), thanks for the Montague mention. Lots of research ahead for me.

    Japanese government reacts to Chinese high-speed ebikes

I want to avoid buying anything made in China this time, both because of my experiences the last time, and also because of the whole host of issues around tainted supply chains, the party-industry-military fusion in China, and the Communist Party's...

    Hi Stefx, Good info, thanks! I'm curious about the front chain ring. Does it have any kind of guide to avoid it coming off? No problems going over bumps? Thanks for any info!
