I couldn't watch the video. Seen enough mean, angry old ladies in one lifetime. Not too keen on the dawg thing either. I'm a cat man myself. Dogs are, generally speaking, pretty stupid.

Cyclists brought this on themselves. The stereotype is the self absorbed, self important jerks on their oh so expensive carbon fiber bikes all decked out like (wanna be) racers and taking the whole road, forcing traffic to pile up behind them. God, I dislike those types too. Seeing them ride...

"I think I'll make a sign for the tag holder that says "Electric Scooter No tags required" I don't know about this one. My experience w/ Florida cops is that if you leave them alone, they generally will leave you alone. It might be attracting attention to something they had no notice of in the...

I would expect nothing less from the world's biggest space cadet! Everything that incompetent, narcissistic, unethical moron does is done simply to distract people from investigating his doings, both past and present, as a career criminal.

You subtracted 220 from 230, and that left you with 10. Divide that by 2 and you get 5.

I went to slime in the tires and carrying a small hand pump, and that ended the worrying.

I stress over this too because I don't use a car, just a regular bike and my eBike, along w/ a bus if necessary. It's an issue because unlike a petrol engine that you can just top off at a moment's notice, you are going to have to wait and wait to charge your bike. How many of us carry a charger...

They probably don't wear them for the same reason I don't wear them. They look stupid, and offer scant protection for your head, especially the back of it. A motorcycle helmet is much better (but offers little frontal protection unless you go to a full wrap around style). I just can't see...

Probably better to have two bikes, one pedal, and one eBike. That way each can excel at what it does instead of being a compromise. I'm not sure why people prefer pedal assist to throttle. I get better mileage using my throttle than if I depend on the bike's pedal assist. A throttle is almost...

You would be amazed at what you can carry in a big backpack and a rear basket for the bike. For people that live on the second floor, make a portable, folding ramp with two or three cedar fence planks from Home Depot that are hinged together, and use the bike's electrics to climb the ramp while...

As someone that has crashed a few motorcycles, and also worked in a physical therapy in-patient rehab ward, I would be concerned about a head injury, NOT a body injury. The thing is though, motorcycle helmets are infinitely safer than bike helmets. In fact, your usual bean bucket style of bike...

That's for the input. The generic Ancheer batteries are about $180 on fleabay, and they're 10AH vs the original 8AH. so not too bad. However, I've decided that these mileage questions are unanswerable. Too many variables. The biker in San Francisco isn't going to get the same mileage as the...

I've owned two of these bikes and that's the real life range (the way I ride it). Very minimal pedaling, often into the wind, some grades, mostly at 15+ mph, occasionally wide open, often hauling groceries, and don't run it below probably 30%-35%. I can mount the extra battery on my bike in the...

20 MPH is plenty. What I want is more range. As someone so wisely pointed out on this forum, if you're going 30+ mph on a bike, you are probably going to get killed by a car driver because they don't expect a bike to go that fast, they're familiar with 20 MPH, tops, and will judge their...

"How do we get cyclists to understand that we're not competing ......." Two words, when dealing w/ someone like this. Pepper spray.

Depends on where you ride. In Hawaii the rain would wash all the crud to the side of the road. I had to use slime in extra thick tubes w/ a liner AND Armadillo tires and still got occasional flats from glass and nails. Here in the desert it's thorns, so just slime works fine. I still carry a...

If it's a bike powered by a hub motor........

You could paint your bike the same colour as the metal that is underneath the paint. Or strip the paint off and spray/brush a coat of clear on it. Or my favorite, don't sweat it, just ride the thing. Scratches happen.

I could be wrong, it's just a hunch, but I suspect that a 52V battery w/ a 750 watt motor at half throttle is more efficient, and runs cooler, than a 26V battery w/ a 375 watt motor at full throttle. Of course, the smaller battery and motor weigh less, but on an eBike, once it gets rolling...

While I admire the engineering, people have been trying to improve on the chain/sprocket/derailleur idea for well over 100 years and nada yet. An eBike w/ a sealed hub motor is about as low maintenance as you can get anyway. Just ck the tire pressures, tighten the fasteners periodically, and...
