    $500-$1000 for an ebike vehicle rack? I Don't Think So...

    Would like to see the finished product; DIY is the best option most of the time. With my rack the vertical support comes from strapping the rack, then looping the bike with the straps, then cinching to my truck's cargo hooks which holds the bike tight to my closed tailgate with a spacer so no...

    $500-$1000 for an ebike vehicle rack? I Don't Think So...

    Not everyone can afford to spend a grand on a rack. This is an inexpensive alternative that actually carries way more weight than the expensive stuff. This is a solid rack, it arrived in good shape and had all the hardware. 72% of the 268 reviews on Amazon are 4-5 stars. I have been using it for...

    Schwalbe Super Moto X...Good Multi-Purpose Tire?

    Thanks for the details, I am going to order them off Amazon. A lower psi for comfortable ride is a great idea as I have plenty of battery range but not so much the back I had when younger!

    I stand corrected, thanks Jedidiah. I guess no product is free of defects 100% of the time. Amazon will sort it out if problems arise. So far, my rack is performing well.

    $500-$1000 for an ebike vehicle rack? I Don't Think So...

    I had no problems with the product, and it’s Amazon, free returns and exchanges. Also there are no reviews about broken welds, just some missing bolts. Most reviews are positive. Like 268 reviews in total 54% are 5-star, 18% 4 stars and 12% 1 star, so please try to be accurate if you can.

    $500-$1000 for an ebike vehicle rack? I Don't Think So...

    OK, but are we in a hurry? Takes me about two minutes to attach the straps that hold the bike securely to the rack and my trucks cargo hooks. For long hauls, I also cinch the seat post to the cargo hooks and hold the bike tight to the closed tailgate using an elongated, semi-rigid piece of...

    Is the Juggernaut Ultra 1000 and 1000 Pro Discontinued?

    I believe the current Ultra Duo 3 has the same or similar specs to the old 1000 pro in terms of the SRAM XD 11-speed drive train.

    Schwalbe Super Moto X...Good Multi-Purpose Tire?

    Using my Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Duo 3 with the 27.5 x 3 wheel/tire configuration primarily for paved streets and light-maintained trails; but do not like the knobby tires included with the bike. Not a lot out there in this tire size. Found some 27.5 x 2.8 sized Super Moto-X on Amazon but can't...

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    They don't do deposits. You pre-order and pay up front and they usually ship at designated times of the year. Most of their models are on back order.

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    In the movie scenario the rider and friends would look for a bear den to hide in while waiting for the EMT's to arrive.

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    Anyway you look at it, this guy was lucky the bear did not attack him after he was down. Cubs were in the grass most likely.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    Perhaps one of the reasons eMTB sales lead other types in the USA?
