I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but EBR did a review recently of a 48v e bike battery solar charger: https://electricbikereview.com/accessories/electric-bike-company/ebc-solar-panel/

Actually the tech part wouldn’t be that difficult. Almost everything involved is already being done industrially, they’ve just envisioned a new way of combining those existing technologies in a beneficial way. It probably won’t happen in 3-5 years, but there’s a good chance of it happening...

First I’ve heard this. That’s good to know.

Sounds promising? https://newatlas.com/energy/nano-diamond-self-charging-batteries-ndb

I wouldn’t have chosen these handlebars if I hadn’t already installed an adjustable 90mm stem riser. These handlebars have plenty of rearward sweep but not enough upwards sweep by themselves. Combined with that adjustable stem riser, however, they are more than adequate for my needs. I’ll...

Great, thanks for the link. This is what I was originally looking at. It gets good reviews too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWR89K8/?coliid=I26F3GD7H1JEB7&colid=2CW2DM1JDJVPI&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Thanks. I’m definitely not a “Rambo” or a camo kind of guy. I’ll live with the camo, but I’m ordering some Mossy Oak Obsession camo gun tape to cover up the Rambo name brand.

Well, at 54 this is the first time I’ve taken the wheels off a bicycle and changed the tires. It’s also the first time I changed a front sprocket for that matter. I went from the original 34tooth sprocket that came on the bike for off road hunting and hauling purposes to 46tooth (which the...

The ability of GPS accuracy to measure down to inches is limited to military use. Civilians cannot access that accuracy. They can only measure down to a certain number of yards, not inches, so the “enemy” doesn’t use our domestic GPS against us. Or at least that’s what I read a number of years ago.

And before that, the Irish were the first slaves brought to the new world. (Don’t even begin to lecture me about a supposed difference between “slaves” and “indentured servants.” They were slaves, no matter the polite title.) But I don’t see any ILM riots.

My iPhone health app (GPS or cell triangulation?) always records 10% farther traveled and 10% higher average speed than my Bafang controller. I trust the numbers from the app.

Hardly. It’s the boneheaded governors and mayors who own this.

I was in Mechanicsburg all week and took a 20 mile test ride on that trail Friday to make sure I could do it, and I was really looking forward to it. But my best friend died unexpectedly Saturday and I couldn’t be there. I thought the trail was a spectacular ride and I’m really looking forward...

Great! I’m not looking for speed, and the knobbies noise and ride doesn’t bother me per se. I’m mainly hoping to get a couple more miles out of each battery charge, and be better able to pedal the bike without any assist should the need arise.

The Supercells are no longer available at Amazon or most other sites I’ve checked currently. Just out of curiosity I searched the local Facebook Marketplace for “fat bike tires.” An ad for two brand new, never mounted 30tpi 26x4 Supercells popped up, 50 miles from me. I misread his ad and...

Just finished 20 miles on my e bike on a rail trail near Hershey PA. Put FSA Metropolis Handlebars on it last night. Big improvement! Averaged 12 mph, even with climbing up the grade from Elizabethtown PA to Mt. Gretna and back. It’s was a bit more of a climb than I expected. Good thing there...

Keep this one and schedule a fall ride? I don’t have any rain gear with me but might pick up a cheap rain jacket before Sunday just in case.

I’m still going to give it a try, regardless of weather, unless it’s really pouring continuously. Just now finished 20 miles on this trail, starting from the Old Trolley Park, and averaging 12mph. It’s was a bit more of a climb than I expected. Good thing there was a well placed bench at the...

Rambo sells a folding 205w solar charging system for their 48v batteries.
