Something like these helps with the crap on our bars. https://www.handlebarjack.com/ And you can buy a shim to keep the pads from compressing when the wheel is out, but a credit card or folded business card works too if you are concerned about it. Worst case, they can be slowly spread back...

That sounds interesting. Might have to do some digging...

The smooth tune seemed to give me another 10-15% range, but since I ride fast on my commutes (avg speeds of 35-40kph), I get maybe 30-40kms to a battery on a bad day, or 50 on a good one. I can certainly pull 60-70 in eco at a cruising pace, but I can do twice that on the hub bike if I don't...

It's an older model that may be out of production now I think, but they distribute relatively widely so one may be available through one of their online retailers. If not, a 52 series would not be a bad option for an Ultra either as long as you aren't looking for a really low 'granny' gear...

It's nuts. Looking for a pair for my mother, and same thing, even up here in Canada quality aids start at $5K, and climb really fast (and aren't well covered by our 'universal' health care system - small partial coverage at best). I also think the fact that insurance companies pay those prices...

Your uphill cutout sounds suspiciously like a battery voltage cutout. 40-42 is a common cutoff voltage to prevent the battery from being deeply discharged. it presents as a sudden power off when the load spikes and voltage drops to the cutoff. It will restart every time, as the voltage spike...

I'd have to say, that for my use the Frey Tune makes a really good sport mode, and I don't really want/need any more power. I would like a similar smooth profile with a true Eco tune though, as the Ultra is a battery hog.

Right!? That seriously needs to become one of the stock tunes - on the cruisers anyway. And I haven't even begun to wear the paint off the chainring at 1,400kms. Very good quality, BUT it is an expensive chainring.

I'm not sure the actual link count, but that chain was at least 4-6 links longer than necessary, so I pulled a bunch out and added a master link for ease of maintenance. Wear of the entire package has been much better than the stock combo, and I think I'll comfortably see 1,500kms or more...

I put a Blackspire 49T (Made in Canada nearby - so my local preference) on mine last spring, and I've been very happy with it. 49 seems like the right spot for me, and I live in 6/7 most of the time now, but actually use the entire range reasonably consistently. Probably still don't use 1...

I have come from a long downhill/XC biking background, but as I've moved into the city I have also learned a few lessons on my own when it comes to my riding position. Here are a few of mine, and of course, I can't speak for others. 1. Upright is right in the city - In traffic, a vertical...

Sometimes it's just one or two bad cells, and a battery shop or handy electronics enthusiast might be able to replace a dud.,..

And just in my own experience, Anker stuff is pretty reliable for high-output applications. I have a bunch of Anker stuff on my PC's and in my motorcycle power kit. Their cables are quite capable of handling the draw of any larger USB device as well...

Here are a few options to start hunting (Second one looks like Uma's model): They are meant to be a primary battery for a home build, so not cheap. You could make a light version with a big HD USB power bank and a water bottle for maybe $50...

I use a super cruiser on one, and the E-gel cruiser on the other. Both are very big, but the smaller models in the line should be great too. https://www.amazon.ca/Serfas-Super-Cruiser-Bicycle-Saddle/dp/B000MT0ICO/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=serfas+super+cruiser&qid=1636043824&s=sports&sr=1-1...

I have elastomer spring seats (Serfas) on both my ebikes with Suntour sea posts. The combo works fine for me, as overall bike weight is not a concern. I find the Suntour seat post set on the stiffer end soaks up the big impacts well, and the elastomer spring seats soak up the minor vibrations...

Probably not multiple. The only logical one would be some "let it burn" policies in the name of forest restoration and natural fire management. Due to human, property, and timber value impacts, those generally account for only the most remote fires though, and many if not most of those fires...

What data/argument are you trying to make here? I'm an Emergency Manager in BC, and I'll tell you that this was an exceptional year and one of our worst for many reasons, even though our hectares burned did not break any overall records. Our costs of firefighting are limited by resources...

I can't see very good lateral stability from the bike tire widths either. They are suspended/supported in one direction only, so lean hard into a corner to load the sidewall and you'd be asking for a sudden and possibly catastrophic deformation. The air in a standard tire will ensure the tire...

Another way to look at it is that R&M and/or the dealers are also buying the cheapest possible insurance in that case. It would be very difficult for a judge or arbitrator to find for the plaintiff in a case when the dealer was willing to ensure the customer was not out-of-pocket any expense...
