    Zoom brake part resource

    Except for the color, that looks like a match. I asked Ride1Up and they sent me a link for that set. $138. Not going to happen. All i need is the handle. And actually, mine is bent, not broken, so i can probably get it bent back close to correct. I'm going to a local shop for something...

    Zoom brake part resource

    I wasn't aware that Jet handles would fit. However, i googled that, got lots of hits … but none seem to be the same configuration.

    Zoom brake part resource

    I dumped my bike on the concrete, scratched the paint and bent one of the brake levers. It’s a Ride1Up cafe cruiser. Trying to find a source for a new handle. Bikeparts.com has a nice selection of handles, but none branded Zoom, and when i sent a picture they responded that they don’t carry...

    Does the ADA supersede local restrictions on Ebikes?

    No, but there was a comment about one town that only allowed riding on paved paths more than 3-4 ft wide (i forget the exact number). That effectively limits the bikes to a small number of non-street paths. My point is that there are a lot of suitable paved paths that can be ridden on if...

    Does the ADA supersede local restrictions on Ebikes?

    Ever hear the expression “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”? People have quickly grown tired of bike riders who ignore traffic laws buy not stopping at stop signs, who ride slowly 2-3-4 across to block street lanes, etc. Not all bikers do, but it happens. So along comes these new...

    Transporting Cargo eBikes (specially Dutch style)

    The first pic was taken from the off-side, had a little trouble seeing the details. So you roll the bike up the ramp until the front wheel is over the tailgate, then lift the pvc assembly and the nike and slide it into the bed … right? The ramp that touches the ground … is that a piece of...

    Cafe cruiser speedometer

    Ok, I have solved half the problem. I was riding today and it happened again … display was normal, showing actual mph and odometer. Then the speedo froze. Odo kept counting up. So i poked the o/i button to cycle through the options, and it cleared up. Default display is mph and watts, i...

    My biggest problem, one that exercise won’t solve, is arthritis / bursitis. I had to get a step through frame, and even with that i struggle to get my leg high enough to mount the bike. Once up i don’t have any problems … until it’s time to stop. And just as an interesting tidbit … the...

    Max rider weight for Neo Volt and Neo City?

    I recently bought the Ride1Up cafe cruiser, and one of the deciding factors was the 350# weight rating. That’s far more than i need, but it gives a healthy margin.

    Pedaluma … tha t’s the color i got, but it’s considersbly darker in real life. I found some of the reviews amusing on the web when they mentioned one of the good features about “bike x” that it had exciting colors. I do pedal a lot, don’t use the throttle much except one hill close to the...

    Cafe cruiser speedometer

    New bike, less than 20 miles. Everything seems to work properly, except … sometimes the speedometer freezes. Yesterday it showed a constant 22.4 mph, today it was locked on 12.something. Started off working ok, sometime during the ride it froze. The odometer continues to count up, and the PA...

    Hello. Just bought 2 Ride1Up cafe cruisers, so far happy with them. They arrived safely and quickly, and my questions to the help desk have been answered quickly. We live in virginia. Doctor said start getting exercise, so that drove the purchase. Only problem is that the basket was delayed...
