    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Had a good experience with the kickstand today out in the field. Felt a little flimsy, but surprisingly held the weight of my bike with the rear panniers fine. Just what I needed. Thanks.

    Are you telling me you are carrying the spare battery in a backpack?!

    I have a yamaha middrive with the external downtube battery. Fits fine in emate.

    Are you telling me you are carrying the spare battery in a backpack?!

    I keep my spare in an Ortlieb eMate pannier. I have a thick piece of styrofoam cut out that fits inside the pannier, and surrounds the battery on all sides. Gives protection in a crash. I've had a few falls on the trails with the spare in the pannier and no damage.

    Great pictures, thanks. I am planning a three night trip next Tuesday through Thursday, driving in from NE Philly on Tuesday, then back friday morning. I was thinking of doing the WMRT and the C&O, and/or anything else in the general area that I may not be aware of. I already did the GAP trail...

    Anybody familiar with this ortlieb? https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/189061/ortlieb-travel-biker-pannier-single Can't find any info on it online. Seems like an older product. Not sure if its a pannier or trunk bag.

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Arrived today, seems like a quality kickstand. How far out did you adjust the length of your kickstand? How many "clicks " are visible? Excited to finally have a kickstand on this bike.

    bike stand for maintenance for an ebike

    Ordered the same kickstand. It showed up today. Any tips for installing? I did not receive any instructions or torque specs for the bolts.

    Does it work well for general use while riding? I have the same bike as you and have been looking for a kickstand for a while.

    Trust me. Your on-line purchased ebikes will be delivered safe and sound...

    Funny video but there weren't any/many UPS/FEDEX drivers. I think as long as your bike is shipped with one of them, insured, you have 99.5% nothing to worry about.

    Another eBike forum

    Stumbled across the embn forums, they have a really active eBike forum. Its UK based, and mostly electric mountain bike related, but a lot of good stuff. https://www.emtbforums.com/community/

    Who can tell me what thread should be attached to the axis of an electric bicycle.

    Why don't you explain your question a bit more and maybe somebody can help you.

    Rock and Roll lube

    I also use rock and roll gold. That clump should dissolve into the solution with a good shake. Needs to be dissolved before use. Try sticking a coffee stirrer in to stir up the clump, and then shake. If it still doesnt dissolve, send it back as defective. Then buy another bottle. Love this...

    I was also thinking of the WMRT. Seems like a good ride. What other trails in that area would you recommend? I would make a long weekend out of it, next weekend.

    Will you let your ebike take you 'where you don't belong' ???

    This guy is an idiot. Riding into the desert on a hot day with little water, no food, no way to change a flat, and no idea where he is going.

    I edited my post above to include some pics. Was a beautiful drive up there as well. Was my first time in Northern PA and the foliage was very nice

    Never Raise The Handlebars In Your E-Bike (2023 update)

    Rotated it 180 degrees, so it faced towards the rear. I remember there was a post here on EBR of some other guy that did this - he said he learned it from an orthopedic physician. Handling was completely unstable. I ended up going with those Jones riser bars

    Got back from the Pine Creek Gorge. First time I've been. Probably my second favorite ride in PA after the strech of the GAP I did last week from Cumberland to Ohiopyle. Pine Creek was very nice. Weather was shockingly warm on Thursday. Foliage was at peak. Bumped into @6zfshdb car in the...

    Never Raise The Handlebars In Your E-Bike (2023 update)

    I tried this earlier in the year, reversing my stem, and the handling of the bike became incredible unstable. I don't know how you ride like this.
