    Ahoy from WA!

    I think you are going to find the 500W motor too small. If you are in Seattle, there are many bike shops to test ride bikes. I have a Rad Mini I test rode in Seattle, it will climb the hills and so will other bikes.

    E-bike shopping for RV carry

    I would stay away from 500 watt motors if there are hills in your riding area. I would also stick with a Class II bike if you are going to ride rail trails etc. Class III is good if you are commuting only, IMO. My wife's trike has a 750 watt motor and she can make hills even without pedaling...

    E-bike shopping for RV carry

    I will give you a few comments. I have a pickup with an 8 foot bed and a canopy 8" taller than the cab. For bikes I have a Specialized Turbo Levo and a Rad Mini. I usually haul the bikes in a 4' x 6' enclosed trailer but have used the pickup. The Mini can be loaded in my truck either fully...

    I'm interested in buying a Terra Trike Rover i8 because it has an 8 speed rear hub. I was told by the dealer it can be made into an electric bike.

    https://www.electrictrike.com/ have you looked at any of these? This company has been around awhile.

    Transporting ebikes via (auto) Trailer.......... Any Advice ?

    We use a 4' x 6' enclosed trailer to carry my full suspension emtb and my wife's Liberty trike. Our trailer is barely tall enough to carry the emtb. I padded the floor of the trailer because you have to get on your knees to tie the bikes down. I secure the emtb the same as you would a...

    Neoprene Ebike Battery Covers for Cold Weather

    Batteries, electric cars have the same problem. I read one article of a 25% range loss (or more) in cold weather for electric cars.

    Two bikes stolen this year

    Instead of looking at the police, maybe its the mayor or prosecutor who make the decisions on who to arrest. In Seattle that has become the problem. Many police officers leave because of this.

    Chainring selection

    Changing the front chain ring is pretty common on the Specialized Turbo Levo. With this bike, most riders are trying to get more speed.

    Upgrading to a larger battery. Trade in the new existing battery for a credit or just buy the new one and have two batteries?

    I have two batteries for my bike. The original battery was replaced under warranty and I decided to buy another. I can be gone from my home base for more than a month. My bike is part of the enjoyment of my trip. I decided having the second battery would allow me to continue daily riding if one...

    Best Cheap Car Bike Rack?

    How about using the word inexpensive instead of cheap? To me, cheap means it will not last, and I probably should not buy it. I always look for a good deal, my spendy bike was a rental. I hate to waste my money on cheap items that break or do not last.
