    Suggestions on growing a local EBike group?

    I would like to organize a local group of eBike riders. I set up a Facebook page, and I named the group for my area. Suggestions for how to bring people to this group?

    Boomerang and speed bumps

    I like the look of those bikes. I apparently have a dealer in town, so I will try to catch a free ride at some point. :)

    New rider confession: my butt hurts

    I wish I could say "after 44 miles." :) My butt hurts after - 1 mile. :) I can feel a tiny improvement as I keep getting back on. But, it Would increase enjoyment and keep me out there longer if the butt discomfort wasn't so significant. I remember going through this even on a...

    BMX'd my Lectric XP

    This is great. I would like to do this, but I don't think I have the tooling to get the grips off properly. And I'm not sure I want to change out the stem.

    Rize X with BMX Handlebar

    I know it is an old thread. Really like the look of that bike. I found the thread after searching BMX handlebars. I'm contemplating putting them on my bike this summer.

    Inflating 20x4 fat tires - can I go a little further on the pressure?

    You are right. The first video I watched for my bike had someone do an awful lot of disassembly to get the tire off. Watched others, and it looks like not much more then the main nuts and then a hex nut on each side. That, plus the tire lever I have on order, and the fresh tubes I already...

    Best tire spoons?

    This place is great. Those Parktool levers look like the ticket for me. Thanks.

    Inflating 20x4 fat tires - can I go a little further on the pressure?

    Thank you. I am aware of some of the other options - flat out, liners, etc. - and I will definitely go down that road when I can. As a new rider, I'm just immediately concerned about a flat because it will bring this journey to a stop. I am not equipped at this time to change one of these flats.

    Luna Folder? Whaa?

    Looks interesting to me. I'd have to swap out the seat instantly. I think my butt would not tolerate 5 minutes on that seat. :)

    Inflating 20x4 fat tires - can I go a little further on the pressure?

    My bike has 20x4 tires. They are supposed to be inflated to 20PSI, which is what I have them at. I read constantly of people getting flats on these tires because they are set up to be part of the suspension, so to speak. Can I go up a bit more in PSI safely to make them a bit firmer and...

    Electric Car thread

    Someday, if I can afford it, I will want an eCar. But, I still find it to be a bit too soon for my tastes. We need way more charging infrastructure, and, we need more options on the market. I Do think there is a market, now, for low end, shorter range, much less expensive, small...

    Is this the same EBR as the Electric Bike Review on YouTube?

    I am glad I found this forum. I really like the other resources here. Is this forum run by the same folks who do the Electric Bike Review videos on YouTube?

    Extremely likely your charger will be in the bike box.

    Contemplating commuting: can I keep my ebike in the sunlight and heat all day?

    Yes, battery is definitely removable. I don't think the battery is low quality. It's the same core design as the Lectric and Engwe bikes - with some upgrades. I Could wheel the bike into work, and I may just do that when we get to the hot weather. Still trying to figure it all out.
