    Jupiterbike Defiant, Sondors Fold X, Aventon Sinch?

    Just coming across Jupiter bikes myself. With all the YouTubing, I figured I knew every brand on the planet now. :) The Jupiter foldables look very nice, and kudos on parts stock.

    Jupiter Discovery X7 Controller settings

    I am just discovering the Jupiter Discovery bikes. I like that frame very much, and they seem to be lighter than other foldables. How do you like the bike?

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    Is that a commercial grow, or, your backyard? :)

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    My son is a manager at a farm, and they are growing it for the first time for sale hopefully inside of this year. He sent me a picture of the progress, and, um, well, it was impressive. :) All of it is indoors in these special grow houses.

    Future Innovation, Where Are We Going

    Sure hope we see weight and battery improvements. Significant ones.

    Now I get why people change the cassette

    Well, with an eBike, at least mine, on the lowest PA1, none of them are usable. Well, for starting, but after that, none of my riding would allow me to pedal in those lower gears.

    Now I get why people change the cassette

    I didn't get this when I first started, but now I am. Because I am not using most of the gears. Basically living exclusively with 6 and 7. 6 for a hill, 7 for everything else.

    I am finding it too hot to ride

    It is indeed very hot in my region these days. Heat advisory days. We rode the rail trail today, and most of it is under a beautiful canopy of tree leaves giving shade, so that made it much easier.

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    New York is in the process. It's been well over a year since legalization, but you still can't buy. They are moving in a very, very slow process of licensing a small number of farms, then processors, then sellers. I hear Maybe it will be available for purchase by end of year.

    My life was threatened....

    Ugh. The gun dialog makes me very sad.

    I guess fitting the bike really matters

    Today, I did - bar height. I believe everything is dialed for me to the max.

    Update re: RockShox/SRAM fork, looking at 4 months (maybe longer) for parts

    Yeah, that's not a good story. Especially for them.

    I haven't been to the LBS yet. Thanks.

    Have to ask probably very dumb question on wasting charge cycles

    I wish I was getting 30 miles in between charges. Honestly, it's closer to 20 miles for me, and, I'm definitely practicing battery conservation with use of PA1 or PA2 and little to no throttle use. I will, though, blame most of it on my weight, which is not good. Perhaps if I shed the 75...

    I guess fitting the bike really matters

    I'm making big strides in comfort as I adjust the bike for my body. First was seat cover. Then seat height. Then very important, and I didn't realize this - seat angle. Today, I reversed the bars. I'm only 5'6" with a short reach, and I always felt like I was putting too much pressure of...

    Lesson learned: riding within my means

    Yes. Ordered something today. Gotta have that.

    Have to ask probably very dumb question on wasting charge cycles

    Thanks. Understood, but, would a non Bosch Lectric type battery be counting cycles, and count that as a cycle? Will such a battery shut itself down after counting the max cycles?

    Have to ask probably very dumb question on wasting charge cycles

    So, sometimes I swap batteries for charging, and sometimes I just charge inside the bike. Probable dumb question - if I am charging inside the bike, and I have to interrupt the charge to move the bike, having to pull the plug out, does that waste a charge cycle? Does a typical battery pack...
