    Fat Tire EV in the $1k - $1.7k range. Help me decide

    The RadRunner isn't a folder, but their Mini is. RadPower bikes enjoy a huge fanbase - they do a good overall job on their bikes and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them for new-comers to the ebike phenomenon. Have you ridden any bike at 28mph for any length of time? I find it...

    Cheap Suspension Seatposts - Worth it or Worse than nothing?

    We had a Satori Harmony cheapo one we used on a couple of our hybrid bikes and thought they were better than nothing. Maybe only an inch of travel or so, but they are adjustable, perhaps a little bit, and were reasonably happy with it for the $$ invested. They provide just a shade of extra...

    These new slim bikes are really attractive. I almost kick myself for passing on the LevoSL last year. Almost. 😁 Great looking ebike. 👍

    Outlet timer and delay?

    Tinkerer extraordinaire. And you're wasting your time. But carry on...seems to entertain. LOL I have five cars so I don't ride that much. The 6ah charger for the Giant bikes has a 60% limit button for a storage charge. Set it and forget it. And no, my packs don't heat up. Sorry.

    Outlet timer and delay?

    If your battery is getting hot after riding there's something wrong. Just charge it to 50-60% after a ride if you're going to store it. If your charger doesn't have that setting built in, a plug-in timer could be set to shut if off. Or charge it for an hour and unplug it. Why oh why do people...

    Hello From California, but Not the Coast

    And NONE of them are legal for ebikes. On the roads, yes, and any motorized OHV trails. But if you are aware of any single track in national forest that is ebike legal, please post them up. 👍

    Please let us know where they're formally allowed. 😜

    Hello From California, but Not the Coast

    Velkommen to the asylum. 😁 Some great trails in the Sierras. Just beware the pedal-only MTB'r psychos. LOL They HATE eMTB's. Our ebikes legally/technically aren't allowed anywhere in the forest, but we ride them anyway. Old and gray, they sure look silly telling me I can't ride my bike there...

    Insufficient Privileges - Cannot Reply to For Sale forum threads

    I don't think classifieds allow replies...perhaps I'm mistaken, but I seem to recall this is the case. The idea is that a reply can be sent as a DM or PM only, so threads are not built on a classified listing. That's what I know to be the case. :)

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    The IKON is a faster version of the REKON. They're what I have on my OCCAM - ikon rear and Rekon front. They sure roll easier, but the pedal bike is still slow with me pedaling! LOL That CF lightweight cost as much as my TranceE! The Ebike is the greatest thing ever!

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    I've shared this one before...a riding buddy that has ridden his dualsport thousands and thousands of miles, carries a spare tube in a container mounted to the lower downtubes on his bike. I was with him a few years ago, some 50 miles from civilization in the Death Valley area, when he got a...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    Any tube can have slime added to it. Personally I have always hated the stuff - if you ever puncture the tube it makes a giant mess. In fact, if you put it in your car tire, the shop won't touch it - it's new-tire time. Also in fact, this is my chief complaint about latex in tubeless setups -...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    Lots of 26 sizes, just no Exo+. They're still great tires. As mentioned, are more or less the most famous offroad tire in the world. Great all around performance. Gee, I sound like a maxxis ad, or fanboyz. 🤣 For really rough going, and/or greater flat protection than even tubeless, are the...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    I have a 27.5x2.8 DHF if anyone wants it. A new take-off. I would have to snap a pic of the sidewall designations. I think it's an exo, I've never installed it, but ran a DHR on back for a lot of miles, then got the exo+ in 2.6 - more better size, better tire. I run 2.6's on the trance, and...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    Yeah, a tubeless with latex sealant in it is supposed to be self-sealing. That's the whole big advantage, and a little weight savings to boot. I still carry a spare tube and a pump. You don't want to be 10 miles from staging with a slashed sidewall and all the latex sealant run out. Maxxis...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    My trail ride in AZ consisted of some really sharp rocky terrain - obvious scuffing on the sidewalls, even a scratch or two on the rims...but no flats - Maxxis Minions. Frankly, I'm pretty surprised I DIDN'T get a flat. Maxxis tires are made for that stuff. And their EXO+ protection is their...
