"This journey is also an attempt to regain his Guinness World Record for the longest journey on an motorized bicycle — a title he previously held for a short time in 2013 before an American cyclist topped Halmo’s 6,721 kilometre record before the certificate even arrived in the mail. The...

Like the idea of powered pump. Too bad couldnt use the bike's battery as a power source. I see quite a few reviews claiming the battery quickly dies making it useless. Would like a long-term update to see how long it lasts.

Get a Cloud 9 seat. Comfy as heck.

Evelo just stopped shipping to Canada in September. Blurb on their website about it.

Doubtful you'd get in trouble if you don't ride like an idiot. However, that scrambler looks like a motorcycle and I can imagine if anyone would be scrutinized, it would be someone riding such a "bike". Frankly, I get irritated seeing obvious moped/motorcycles skirting the intent of ebikes...

Odd you focus on overseas hackers/security when far and away the biggest hacks have been on US companies.

"Here are some numbers. A distributor buys 180 bikes in a 40ft container. They pay $750 for each bike. That is $135,000. Then add another $3000 shipping from China and customs clearance so it is now $138,000. The distributor sells that bike to the dealer for $1000. That means they $180000 gross...

You can often cut the handlebars down to a width you prefer. It's done on mtbs all the time - some bars are even pre-marked to make it easier to cut.

Last contact I had was about 6 months ago, but I originally talked to them late last year. I suspect they had lots of interest from the States for that bike - nothing else with carbon frame and an Ultra motor. It is frustrating to hear they will now sell the bike so soon after they repeatedly...

Consider a tire insert like Cushcore, Huck Norris, Vitoria Air Liner etc - even flat, you could carefully ride home (i just installed Vitoria Air liner - takes up about 80% of the tire volume). Rather than a pump, consider CO2 cartridge inflators. Most decent tires can be converted to tubeless...

Holy smokes. I contacted Excess twice and had multiple emails regarding why they couldn't/wouldn't ship to the US. I even explored buying the bike via a friend in Europe and shipping it myself, but it became a hassle and I gave up. Would have bought that bike in a heartbeat had they said they'd...

Nominal is like a standard 2x4 piece of lumber - nominally 2"x4". After finishing/sanding edges, can be 1.5"x3.5". Manufacturers list nominal wattage - European Union limits motors to 250w nominal. US/Canada limit to 750w. However, peak wattage can be multiples higher. Luna Cycles tested a...

So, how much is Martha paid to pose with the bike? I see ol' Shatner pimping these bikes too. I'm sure both are avid cyclists...

How about the kickstand? Some designs can rattle over every bump and be annoying as heck. Love the color on that bike.

$300 for a seat????

https://gearjunkie.com/e-bike-kit-burns-home?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=flipboard_rss&utm_campaign=gearjunkie " a do-it-yourself e-bike kit. Resident Robert Floto, 25, told investigators he was assembling the bike in a first-floor bedroom when two battery terminals accidentally made...

I was in similar state of confusion. Ultra is not the official name (I think) and seems to be more marketing than anything. Bafang refers to it as the g510.750/1000 (can be programmed as 750w or 1000w nominal) That Excess bike looks fantastic, but they don't ship to the US/Canada (I tried...

Sorry, but if that's what you marvel about, you need help.

Both your rear tires are rubbing on the chain - can tell that the sidewalls are getting burnished by the side of the chain.
