Lol love it! They both have manual bikes and ride daily. The issue is the farther off practices depending on the sport season. Right now all sports are close and I’m biking a lot to work which makes one car work great. Plus we have other family around in a pinch. We looked at a moped recently...

That seems high, I have spent $200 on maintenance in 2 years at 2000 miles and that was for a tuneup, new chain, and new cassette. Looks like those are belt drives so a tuneup every year or two for 100 bucks is probably fair. I am due to get in for my right brake being squishy and will likely...

7/10 quad cities iowa Illinois borders on roads is decent but we have a really nice river bike path that connects our cities and we just built a nice new bridge that has a beautiful pedestrian and bike path. I feel much safer biking here than in Phoenix, cars are much more polite. We also just...

just had this issue pop-up during an annual tune-up and told them break was soft/squishy, local bike shop couldn't get part since they aren't an aventon dealer but called another one across town and they can get it without issue since they are an aventon dealer and they're happy to put it in, my...

Nope I’m on my first ebike, the other ones were just regular bikes that I would mix up for fun to keep my commutes interesting. After a certain amount of time on one bike, I get kind of bored. When I could get a decent bike for 100 to 300 I would just vary what I rode to keep it fun. There are a...

I would ride any of those except the small wheels ones but I’m 6’2” so you may like them better. My advice would be there is no perfect ebike so just get that first one and start riding. After riding many miles you will get a good idea of what you want on your second one. I’m on like my 7th...

That’s good looking! I would have definitely bought one of those a few years ago when we went to one car. We used those kids pull behind trailer things which were a pain in the butt, that bike sure would have been more fun for everyone (parents and kids!)

Really nice analysis, good link and they did a nice job of capturing all the possible costs! I ran the numbers for us a few years ago and we just don’t drive enough to justify a new electric car yet. I think our next car will be ice and then we will get an ev in about ten years.

Absolutely love my Aventon Pace 500 (original model). Have about 1,900 miles on it now. If I could only pick one thing to change it would be torque sensor (to be honest, I didn't even know that was a thing when I bought the bike, I thought you only got to pick between rear-hub and mid-drive and...

Good luck on your commute and stay safe. There’s no way i would mess with picture 3. box turn is my go to for situations like this. Sometimes the best bet on a bike is act like a pedestrian and cross like a walker. When in doubt take the safest option. Always assume the cars don’t see you. I’ve...

That's a good looking bike! I'll have to keep that in mind when looking again. I would like to get torque sensor on my next bike too, that's one of the only issues I have with the RadMission I have, otherwise it's perfect. That's a lot of riding, good for you!

Very sad news. Very unsafe for cyclists on the roads out there. I bike commuted in Scottsdale for a while and saw some wild things and really bad driving and only getting worse with cell phone usage and distracted driving.

This will be interesting to watch and learn more about the safety of these batteries. The more I learn about ebike fires, the less desire I have to get a Tesla. So much energy in those batteries. I even get nervous having two ebike batteries in my house at times. I suppose one option would be to...

My wife bought one and have been happy with it. We did the test ride with the mobile vans but I heard those got discontinued. I would not buy a $1000 plus bike without a test ride. That could hurt them a lot. I bought mine from a local bike shop mainly on the ride quality. I’m sure their profit...

it is nice they included a photo of an older kid (most ads seem to be like 2-3 years olds), my son is quite a bit bigger and would definitely not let me haul him like that, my daughter would likely be more willing Great point and as I look into the rear seats more and more I don’t think the...

nice find! thanks for sharing that one. we were actually talking last night and kicked around just getting our 10 year old son the lectric lite for $800 but still like the idea of having 2 on one bike. TBD on what we decide but i like the look of that one alot. ive always asked folks on their...

Lol, that's fantastic! We actually drive a pretty small car for a family of four but it meets our needs and is paid off which is sure nice. Planning to add a hitch and bike rack this Spring.

Kids are now 10 and 8 and growing fast and with one car we are finding having the ability to take one of the kids on the bike would be nice for events and things. My wife and I also ride our e-bikes together on date night but think it would be nice sometimes to just take one bike if we had a...

Really well done video and very inspiring to hear her story. I stumbled upon this while looking in the cargo ebike forum. I will say around 5 years ago when I got rid of my car (we now have 1 car for a family of four) it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm healthier, have a lot...

Agree, as a driver I notice the blinking quicker even though it is slightly annoying. I do appreciate it catching my eye especially at dusk which is the hardest time to see bikes and usually around commute home time. Stay safe all!
