    CLASS 1 EBIKES: A VANISHING BREED?

    I don't think speed is as much a factor as convenience. While I don't use it much, a throttle is great for getting rolling from a dead stop especially when in a higher gear.

    10 Different bike saddles, and still a sore ass

    They all look the same to me. A bunch of skinny little seats. My most comfortable seat is soft and about 13" wide.

    More Rad lawsuit fallout? (good for the consumer)

    I just find it easier to install new tires with the bike upside down.

    More Rad lawsuit fallout? (good for the consumer)

    I've had a set of Juintech on my rad rover for a year now and like them a lot. I've yet to have to adjust the cable. That said I had no problem with the original brakes easily stopping the bike and only replaced them when something happened to the front caliper and it wouldn't function anymore...

    Obsession with hydraulic brakes

    I thought they were fine as well but needed frequent adjusting. I did put a set of mechanically activated hydraulics on my bike when the front caliper died on me and was impressed by how well they work and how easy they are to install. A year or so later I have not had to adjust them at all.

    Should I buy a maintenance package from LBS

    What exactly does that mean? Is it just service or parts and service? If just service I would say no. If it was parts and service it might be worth it if you plan to ride a lot.

    QR skewer & disk brakes claimed as a contributing factor in fatal accident involving a RadRunner

    Sounds like just another case of user screwing up and not taking personal responsibility.

    Need help with brakes.

    How about mechanically operated hydraulic calipers. I switched to those and like them a lot.

    I just looked at it and in the ad it said: "With a powerful 750W motor and UL-certified battery,"

    Co-op rules against ebike

    Ok thanks but as far as you know there is nothing I can look for that might give me some advance warning that either the battery or the charger is becoming dangerous to use just based on normal use. I know the way I use the bike as in never ride or leave the bike in any kind of inclement...

    Co-op rules against ebike

    I got to wondering if there are any warning signs that might prevent some of these fires. I have two Rad batteries that I rotate so I'm using one battery for every other ride. When charging the charger gets a little warm to the touch while the battery stays cold. When charging is complete both...

    Are newer hub motors as capable as mid drives?

    Some are pretty steep but not particularly long.

    Are newer hub motors as capable as mid drives?

    I'm sure that's true. One has to pick a bike that works where they live. I got lucky I guess and my choice works well for where I live. If it didn't I guess I can easily do upgrades to the motor etc. Also I guess the newer version of the Rover has a more powerful motor although I've not...

    Are newer hub motors as capable as mid drives?

    All I can add is that I've been riding a Rad Rover for a few years now and have not run across a hill that I could not easily pedal up in 3rd gear. I weigh about 200lbs. The bike is stock regarding motor and controller.

    Online Stores To Pretend Having A Product In Stock

    Not that I've noticed. Admittedly most of my on line shopping has been through Amazon and it's obvious at a glance whether what you want is in stock or not often along with how many they have in stock at the moment.

    You can't just put it in the highest gear and leave it there?
