We had a super hill in the town I grew up in. It wasn't an everyday thing, but on more than a couple of occasions (back in the '60s), we'd walk our bikes to the top and race down. It was possible to stay on the road through the curves but it was altogether possible to have a spectacular wreck...

Left, not funny to some of us who live here. Right hilarious, given that he's so afraid of transgender people now.

And we don't know anything about these these fires. Were they new Trek or Rad or Bosch, etc., batteries, or were they DIY rebuilds using the cheapest cells on Alibaba? Were people using best charging practices or stupidly careless, negligent practices? We don't know. Your list is okay but...

MIght be worth looking at your wheel diameter setting. It could be that you're actually doing 25. Or you could use a GPS device to check your speed. In any case, I'm not sure you'll ever see 25 mph. I don't recall for sure but I think the top speed spec is in KPH and listed as 40 KPH, which...

I get what you're saying but I'd like to reserve the right to challenge baseless claims against a brand I own and like. Especially when they are presented as facts. TT

LOL. I'm not denying anything except your credibility. And maybe your sanity if you think fires only happen to one brand of bikes. TT

Your arguments are specious. They're anecdotal and are completely irrelevant statistically. And you don't even know what caused the fires. Not to mention that your inability to turn up stories about battery fires with other brands doesn't come anywhere near meaning they haven't happened. TT

Oh, well, four! That makes all the difference! NOT. And you couldn't find reports on other bikes so there haven’t been any problems with them. I have this great bridge I can sell you real cheap. What do we know about just the Rad battery fires? Were they OEM batteries with no damage, being...

I am really starting to think you don't know what you're talking about and that you have a bias about Rad bikes for some reason. I don't have any more of a database on bike battery fires by bike manufacturer than anyone else, and the 2 reports you posted in another thread are totally...

Amen. It reminds me of the threads last summer with that Solarcabin guy. TT

All this makes me wonder about gender bias, male and femaile. I like to think I don't have much of that but I know at some level I do, as do just about all of us. I pretty much agree with all of your points and observations, but I agree with Tom too, that it probably doesn't matter much, at...

I've been following this thread for two or three days. Like how everyone slows down and crane their necks to see the accident on the other side of the highway. I wasn't going to post, but it just struck me as funny that anyone would question how anything is relevant to this thread. Basically...

Could be a number of things I suppose, but with nothing more to go on, it sounds like operator error. Try slowing down through the curves. TT

Take a look at this thread. Loading your bike may not be as much trouble as you think. Loading heavy bikes If you're regularly loading two bikes though, it might be a little tricky mounting the one closer to the car. TT

I've never had hydraulic brakes on a bike so I can't make a comparison, but my cable-operated disc brakes are extremely quick and easy to adjust and they stop the crap out my bike. I have no doubt whatsoever that I could flip myself over the handlebars just about anytime I wanted to. I'm...

A) Does seem relevant. This is about this .case, not other people's experiences. B) The point is that Rad bikes aren't junk just because you look down your nose at them. For people willing and able to do their own maintenance on the bikes, they're great. Maybe not so much for other people. I...

Everything we've heard about problems with the girl's bike is speculative. What we know is these were kids zooming down a 0.3 mile stretch of street with a 14% sustained grade. Maybe there were problems with the bike, but we don't know that. 11 or 12 year old kids on a bike on a hill like...

Suppose this had been a $20,000 top of the line e-bike with all of the finest components and had just been fully inspected and maintained by a trained professional e-bike mechanic. From what I've been able to understand about Enchanted Way I don't think, if the parents were paying attention...

The Corolla has it's own tongue weight limit that are completely unrelated to what size hitch you put on it. For the Corolla, that's apparently 200 pounds. Putting a Class 3 or Class 5 hitch on it won't up that by an ounce. In fact, it would lower it, because the the weight of the hitch is...
