    Stanton's ebike project.

    Very clever and detailed; it was neat that he included where things went wrong & the fix (and that brief human moment smacking his shoulder on the handlebars ;))

    Tips from an E-Bike Shop Owner for Buying a Used Electric Bike

    Great question @ebikemom! I'd like to hear that the battery had been attended to once every month or two unless it's one of the special type batteries with a deep sleep mode like BionX or a few other brands. Again, do you really believe the seller? A lot of that comes from the whole picture of...

    Tips from an E-Bike Shop Owner for Buying a Used Electric Bike

    Buying a used electric bike can be an exciting way to get back into cycling or grab a bargain on a more expensive ebike. If you're uncertain an ebike is for you or you've got a set budget, a used ebike can be a smart option to buying new. Although this can seem like a challenging task, with a...

    Aloha from Layton Utah

    Isn't that how it happens @Crested, a few test rides and we're all hooked on an ebike :). Glad you found your right bike and I'm with Bruce, please keep us in the loop with where you ride and some pics.

    Loud Bicycle Horn (Car Horn for Bicycles)

    @Mark Peralta, one of the great features of the AirZound vs. a camper's or marine horn is that it's refillable. No waste or propellants - all you need is a standard schrader valve bike pump to add more air to the tank. And at 115db it does get attention! For my park & trail rides the AirZound...

    derailleur hanger replacement?

    @Sunkmail, one manufacturer of replacement derailleur hangers, Wheelsmfg, makes 260 different hangers so you will probably need to remove it and match it to one on their chart if you plan to order it online. Or take the bent hanger to a local bike shop to find a match. For a temporary fix for a...

    Innovations from Eurobike 2018

    Interesting idea, @Gator; it would help preserve the bike's original design but defeats the purpose of lower weight with a lower center of gravity.

    Folding Fat tire frame?

    Found this item on Alibaba, it's a folding mountain bike frame from a company that can build to specs. You can contact them for the specifics. I would like to remind you that a folding frame is not recommended for serious trail riding, they're not as structurally strong as a rigid frame but...

    Looking to replace my Rad Rover suspension fork with a rigid fork.

    @CodyDog, just checked the specs for your Rad Rover and that suspension fork has a lockout adjustment at the top of the forks. This would be the equivalent of riding with a rigid fork without spending $$ and labor for different forks. Unfortunately, neither the Rad Power site nor the Owner's...

Looking forward to hearing about your experience and seeing the images as you build; that will be helpful to others interested in the...

    Battery problems anyone?

    Glad you got your battery warranty covered :); @Louky. Thanks for sharing that the new battery solved the issue so no one else has to panic. There are occasional bad batteries out of the box; however, that is Not the Norm. So everyone who's considering the bike also look at the facts that the...

    What's It Worth?

    That's a challenging question @Aunthugh. It would help to have a little more knowledge of the condition of the bike: dings, paint job condition, clean or grungy and how well the battery has been cared for. At 600 miles, that's still pretty low mileage; however, have you been able to confirm that...

    Help odometer setting.Ui5

    @Aunthugh, you have nothing to worry about! Although the little KM symbol is displaying above the distance, if it shows MPH in the upper right corner of the display, your odometer reading is actually in miles. I know, that's kinda crazy; however, watch this video about settings on the Ui5's...

    Returned an Optibike 2007 to the road, ideas on touchup paint? repair of rear fender?

    @msw4chl, find a local nail salon or beauty supply shop and see if you can find a nail polish that's a close color match. Use some super fine grit sandpaper (tear off a small piece to work with) to smooth the edges of the area you want to paint. Start with a hidden area to get your technique...

    How 'bout those Mototec Stand & Ride Trikes

    zzzybil, have you considered electrifying your trikes? That's another option that would allow you to take advantage of the baskets for hauling stuff. If you don't feel comfortable installing the kits yourself there's bound to be someone with a little electrical know-how you could hire to help...
