    Going to document my weight loss

    Sounds somewhat similar to the Keto diet I went on last Octorber for about 6 months. Kept my carbs under 20 every day and used intermittent fasting. Went from 180 to 153 then stopped! Back to 168 but I'm enjoying eating pasta and frijoles again! My cardiologist was not super keen on my...

    Rating you preferred eBike repair Facility.

    I can do most fixes since I grew up riding bikes, mini bikes and motocross bikes. You tend to have to learn how to do the basics if you want to go riding with the boys. These days as my teeth lengthen, I tend to do the basics here at home and anything strenuous or difficult that I cant figure...

    Has anyone used EBYCCO electric bikes before?

    I also ordered a Frey CC and had it for about 6 months. It was also fine-just a little heavy for this old guy. I still really like my Espin Sport (discontinued) for leisure rides and my Ride 1 Up Gravelster is a great exercise bike. Right now, no bike will work as it's been pushing 115...

    Has anyone used EBYCCO electric bikes before?

    Not sure if that bike is the best way to "wet your whistle" into ebikes. Stick with Lectric, Ride 1 Up, Aventon or Espin. I have had bikes from all mentioned and have been quite pleased. If you are not mechanically inclined, go visit your LBS...

    PROOF You Don't Need a [tent] Footprint!

    I was teasing. I love tent camping but haven't done it for a few years. Our last trip was a reunion of 10 or so classmates (some I have known since I was 5 years old) up to June Lake in CA. One of our pals is a tour guide. He got to the campsite early and set up the tents. He made it like...

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

    I believe it would be based on where the bike is shipped. I bought one for around that same price from Lectric and they shipped to my home in CA and the tax was approx 9%. I would budget between 7-10%.

    I had a Puch moped in college. It was awesome to zip to and from campus-until it got stolen outside my apartment one night during a party. Still miss that little silver beauty...

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    Also, saw a lot of ebikes and not a lot of people pedaling! I love my throttle, but to be 100% throttle only is going to be the death of ebikes in our neck of the woods...
