    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

My $50 aesom single whl. Will get battery,/e-stuff in a 2´ x 14¨ cooler, tent, bivvy, & some camp tools. it´s light, I...

    Starting my ebike purchase journey

    Check EBR review for the NCM Moscow & Aspen,(fat version of the moscow). $1200 & $1300 respectively. very good quality for the price, a tough forgiving bike for noobs.Its more of a general use bike than a mtn.bike. The plus verrsions cost more, but regulars are easily upgraded. I´ve 4600 mi on...

    ‘I felt powerless – so I started filming’

    My one horse dorp gets plenty of hwy traffic, the the nearest light is 12 miles away. We are in dire need of at least 2 lights. On a bike one a can wait 15 mln to cross an intersection. Here it is legal for bikes to treat stop signs as a yield sign, but that still may get ya kilt.

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    With all the E-auto charging stations emerging nation wide, It would be nice if they added charging boxes similar to bus station lockers, drop in some coin, remove the key, & come back when it´s cooked. Apart from that, my solution is adding an extremely efficient 40cc gas belt drive to an ebike...

    I´ll look, routing gets a little busy with 2 different sources of power, but the challenge of a 300 mile range is worth exploring.

    Nothin wrong with the aethetic of those bikes. Can you tell me where to get some spiral plastic cable wrap? It would greatly serve the appearance of my build.

    I´d be plum tickled if it just works when I turn on the battery. Just that the bikes posted here are so clean by comparison. Spent a good part of the day cleaning up the routing with....some success. Caught a wiring mistake. Dashboard´s looks almost ready for my custom grips, gas throttle on the...

    Looks like a practical trike for conversion, nice clean set up. More than I can say for my gas/electric build in progress. All the wires in the harness are too long or too short. My routing resembles the Gordian Knot. So ugly! The front wheel bafang kit looked so easy, but it´s turned into a...

    My wife sez the same thing. It really puts a damper on my plan to live forever. I´m old; I´m a prepper cuz I need to be busy instead of bored. I need a primative life style so I can appreciate well being. Nothing fancy, just a foxhole with nice curtains somewhere completely obscure & well above...

    If you go the the gallery of old indian photos you will see the faces of every ethnicity: That is because everyone got here before Columbus,& blended into what are called ¨Native Americans¨ The process continues.

    I´m pretty sure 15 min. of every hour is commercial these days,( with a few exceptions) When I was little I remember watching Aurthur Godfrey with my gramma & enduring 2- 30 second spots per hour on absolutely free TV.

    The Green Room

    Native American is so goddam patronizing. I´m fine with injun, the Washinton Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs. At least it keeps the notion alive that those peoples did exist & some still do. Tribal registries represent but 1% on U.S. population but their genes have spread thru millions of Americans...

    They´re also quite fond of the patronizing term, ´äboriginals¨ in Canada. Linguistically the Aztecs are related to the Ute & Shoshone. The brutality was actually borrowed from the Mayan ¨flowery warś, ( religion driven population control). Territorial strife is inevitable when resources for one...

    ‘I felt powerless – so I started filming’

    I´ve been known to blow thru a yellow light only when stopping would leave me in the middle of the intersection.. What gets me is when some &%$$=# decides to right turn on red while I´m crossing with the walk light. Not so long ago I was forced to do a painful face plant that took months to...

    Last night on Nova I watched a documentry on arctic ice. A team of scientists spent almost a year, much of it based from an icebreaker frozen into an ice floe. While NASA has said the polar ice covers about the same area as ever,( to the delight of deniers), the team discovered it is only a...
