    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Running in the morning is great. The sun is still low and not burning down on me. There is also less traffic so I might see deer. Yesterday morning, there was a deer on our street. I startled it when I came down my driveway. We were both surprised by each other. I watched her as she walked...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Foggy morning. Vado smoke blowing. Going for a run.

    I don't think so...

    In the backyard patio of the house I grew up in, there would be MANY flies filling around. They were regularly in one spot. I used to get my aluminum baseball bat and swing at them. *tink……..*tink……*tink……..they would say. As a 12 year old, that was quite fun.

    Covered 4 wheels E-Bike

    Tell that to the ones putting pedals on an e-moto and calling it an e-bike. You are right though. BI-cycle, TRI-cycle. QUAD-cycle?

    Electric Scooter

    I have had a couple of scooters. One was a Sharper Image CityBug that I resurrected from a junk heap at the side of the highway. I put a 36v battery and a brushed rear hub motor on it. The tire is solid. It worked well to go around the block. Though, with a solid tire, I felt each bump. I had to...

    Electric Scooter

    Which “scooter” do you mean? For example, like a Vespa? Or like an Apollo Ghost?

    What's an "SUV" ebike?

    SUV Ebike, definitely a marketing term for a bike that already exists. I have 2 ideas of an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) bike. One is a fat tire bike and the other is a cargo bike.

    Where is the problem located at?

    Seems like it may be the Juggernaut. As a test, you could make the same, or similar, ride without the extra packs. Or remove only one and test again.

    Tax on new e-bikes. Depends on where it is bought ?

    To calculate that, I usually add items to the cart and progress through the “checkout”. Shipping and tax are usually displayed before you input your payment info. Of course, you don’t fill any payment info out. Then, when you have the shipping and tax calculated, remove the items from your cart...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ or Ride1Up Prodigy V2 CVT (belt)?

    Wow. Tough call. Since price is a huge factor, for me, I would go with the prodigy. I’m not a fan of being handcuffed by proprietary systems, so any Bosch bike would be a “no”, for me. Though, I’m not sure how locked down a brose system would be. There are users that like the Bosch system. I’m...

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    I’d like to “like” or “wow” your post, but I’m not surprised as I see the same treatment of e-bikes from kids. Nice thing about e-bikes is everyone can have one. Bad thing about e-bikes is everyone can have one.

    Show Us a Tool

    That one seems nicer, but it’s much larger. Size will matter if this is going inside a downtube. That’s where I’d have mine installed. I actually looked at that particular one, but got this one instead. https://a.co/d/6Q2GwSo All the ones we have mentioned have different current output, so...

    Show Us a Tool

    I have a similar one on my bike. It powers my front and rear turn signals, horn, and my wireless phone charger.

    Stupid E-bike games?

    In California, if there is no sign that indicates “no right on red” then you can make a right on red, if there are no pedestrians. Though, common sense tells me to stop and look at every turn. This is hard for some people.

    Need help with Swagtron EB9

    Just under the battery, along the middle. There seem to be a few tabs. You can see one right by his fingers. Perhaps that is where it's stuck? Or maybe the battery is getting pushed on, from the bottom, by the heads of the bolts. See the 4 bolts? are they loose? That could be putting pressure on...

    Stupid E-bike games?

    If I see no on coming traffic at a 4 way stop, I’ll slowly approach, then proceed if safe to do so. Not a full stop. I’ll stop if my vision is blocked. I do wait my turn at controlled intersections, as should everyone else.

    Unexpected motor shutdowns

    Are there marks underneath the top plate you removed? Some of those holes appear to be in high voltage areas.

    Nice Feature on a Hub Drive

    Then after the fault is located, the area needs to be exposed. Re-entering potted material that wasn’t meant to be re-entered is very difficult.
