I think I have decided on how to handle the battery concerns except for one lingering issue. All electric bike manufacturers give the user an option to charge the battery ON or OFF the bike. I’ve also heard the arcing fire issue, caused from disconnecting and reconnecting the battery from the...

That makes no sense!!

Okay, question for the ones who think listening to music while riding is dangerous, do you listen to your car radio?

As a sidebar, I feel the same way and won’t even go outside without a shirt on! There’s a reality TV show called, ‘Naked and Afraid’. If anyone saw me naked, they would definitely be afraid and probably frightened!!!

My LBS DOES work on Lectrics and the warranty is one year, so any PARTS would be free, but NOT labor. Bikes come fully assembled! Not sure about anybody else, but I got my Denago locally, but LBS e-bike selection here is very limited!

SW Florida! Average temperatures from November through May, 70s - 50s, some 60s - 40s.

How many pair do you have? I ride M-F but normally only 5 miles about 20 minutes. Not sure if it’s beneficial to purchase them for that , but would nice to have from Nov through May when the weather breaks!

May I ask what brand and do you wear them bareback as recommended?

How many hear actually wear cycling shorts? Do you wear them every time that you ride? What are the positives?

I’m going with the philosophy of erring on the side of caution! I bring my battery inside after the ride and store in a fireproof bag in an empty bedroom until the next ride! When it NEEDS to be charged, I bring it in AFTER the ride, put it in the fireproof bag for a minimum of 2 hours. As...

How many folks enjoy music while riding? I ALWAYS do 2 things AFTER I put my helmet on, and turn the power on. I fire up my Amazon Music app on my phone with earbuds in place, and set my Apple Watch to monitor ‘Outdoor Cycling’!

10! All flat paved residential streets!

My only concern is the fire issue while charging! I’m getting a laptop cooler to sit my battery and charger on while charging indoors, just to err on the side of caution! 😉👍

For me, I try to live by 2 philosophies: 1. I’d rather have something, and not need it, as opposed to needing something and not having it! 2. I’d rather err on the side of caution!

I like your advice and expertise. I read the nuts and bolts of the article and it seems to me that this procedure would be the best solution for me. Since getting gasses emitted is NOT an issue, it sounds like my best option would be, from June through October here in Florida, is to keep the...

The good thing about my situation in this heat I ride about a 6 mile 25 minute round trip every morning before 9am, in this heat, M-F so it’s not a So I guess it’s safe to keep my battery in the garage and charge it on the bike IN the garage! I just bought a temperature/humidistat wall mount...

Thanks PM. My bike is a Denago and it’s SW Florida. From June - October often in the 90s with high humidity! Not sure how hot it gets in the garage. I do need to get a temperature gauge and humidistat!

My manual does say to wait at least 45 minutes AFTER the ride before charging. So you bring your bike inside the house? Do you keep your bike inside or in a garage?

Yes, but it doesn’t address this specific issue
