    Throttle or No Throttle?

    Had another thought about these ebikes. I think bikes have taken a giant leap forward with the advent of the ebike. Not unlike going from eight track tapes to cd's to thumb drives. It may take awhile but bikes as we knew them are changing. By the time this leap in bikes settles out, the...

    Need e-bike recs to help disabled son

    My two cents. A mid drive will let you use the gears for more power. Bafang is my choice.

    Throttle or No Throttle?

    christob I am hoping in the future they whoever they are will realize that the throttle is not unlike a cruise control. It's just another tool to be used.

    Throttle or No Throttle?

    I don't want to start and argument here, but we ride for many reasons. At 68 my legs are not what they use to be and (Coasting) as I now call it, is necessary now and then. I ride a fourteen mile loop quite often and some days I need a break just turning the pedals gets painful. So I choose to...

    Throttle or No Throttle?

    Beware the Bicycle Lane

    I would like to make one more comment regarding defensive driving. Moving into the bike lane for a right turn makes great sense, except when a truck is involved. As a retired truck driver you will never see a truck move right to set up for a right turn. The bigger the truck the farther to the...

    Beware the Bicycle Lane

    This comment will probably not set well, but I am hoping it might save someone from the same experience. I have been riding bikes and motorcycles since High school and one lesson I have learned is what is called defensive driving. As I watched this video the first thing I saw was the speed...

    Battery sticks

    I have seen it, but I don't know yet what is causing it. I'm wondering if it has to do with the electrical connection. I'm guessing that it plugs in quite tight. A lot of them seem fine after they move out about 3/4" . I'm sure they don't want it to bounce around making noise. Might also be a...

    Tip of the Mitt Michigan

    I'm hoping I don't need a trailer for camping. I use to get everything I needed in the sidecar on the Ural. I haven't tried it yet on the bike. May have to pack a little lighter. Hoping to see how others do before I try it. Thanks

    Tip of the Mitt Michigan

    I Like The Step thru design. once you load up the back, swinging your leg over can be very difficult .I'm told they are adding a model with a motor on the front wheel also, more hill climbing ability. Haven't seen anything in print yet.

    Good question. I guess I would be looking to see if your belt ring mounts like a chain ring.
