    The Dilemma.....

    Bike would be 100 lbs with chains on....Plus it is insured. Running a steel rod up the wood post as well and there is gate that secures the area. Need to add a lock to that. Believe me I realize if they are determined they will get the bike. Just trying to make it as difficult as possible. As...

    The Dilemma.....

    I guess I could bring my gun also...but the sound of a bat striking bone is much more satisfying....I guess I could put on the Kevlar vest to make it interesting...lol

    Brake confusion?

    So 500 miles is a little more than 800 km I ride mainly flat terrain with 1 really steep hill down to the beach. I highly recommend the switch from metallic resin pads to ceramic pads.

    Anyone has 2019 Bravo with hydraulic brakes and bigger battery?

    I had never ridden any ebike until I purchased the Bravo. Display on the Bravo is basic but gives the info you need....speed, odometer, pas level and bar level battery power. The build quality overall is very good. Wiring routed internally in the frame. The padded seat is quite comfortable...
