That author is speaking a different language from my world. "Bike lanes"? Haven't seen one yet where I live. I should note though that when I go into Boston, where bike lanes do exist (and I go several times a month) I don't see the level of speed conflict this author has observed. Of...

Why would you wash after every ride? Maybe you're over-doing it a bit? You might consider an air compressor (got mine for $99 bucks a few years ago...) to blow off dirt or water. For example, I use a hand nozzle to blow off water after I clean my chain before I lube it. I also blow off dust...

Heated socks too?

You might as well take your charging breaks in style! I understand the need for the trailer now - the cooler. Makes sense...

That labor cost looks like a bargain!

The Lay's chips bag in the trailer and the coffee mug on the bike are nice touches! Makes me think even ebike touring folks are human too.... :)

Let's back up a bit. What problem are we trying to solve? If it's safety, how common are reports of people being injured by ebikes, other than riders? Are pedestrians being mowed down by folks going to fast? I truly have no idea, but certainly don't see news reports of such. (Maybe my...

Thank you for the good wishes. To me, what's surprising is that not all chemo, and by that I mean taking cytotoxic drugs, drugs that kill any fast dividing cell, is not always devastating. It's not always intravenous either. I take two kinds of pills on a 28 day cycle - 14 days of pills, then...

You could keep it liquid by putting the chamber on a hot plate. No need to buy a commercial vacuum chamber either - you could make one easily out of a pressure cooker. The ones on Amazon look suspiciously like one anyway. Vacuum impregnation was a big deal back in the old tube radio days...

Jason, have you ever tried vacuum impregnation with your chains? That's a way to make sure the melted wax gets into the places it should, but would also work for any lubricant. Essentially, you put the cleaned chain into a vacuum chamber, pump the air out, which also takes the air out of all...

There are a number of other members here who share your situation, including me, currently in chemotherapy. Perhaps the best though, is Alaskan. See for instance, this thread https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/using-ebikes-as-tools-for-meeting-a-health-challenge.37325/page-7...

Keep safety in mind. Some conditions lead to reduced visibility for drivers, especially the ones that don't completely clear their windshields, mirrors and rear windows. They may not see you. Then there's road conditions that affect traction, such as ice or sand. Where I live, it's very...

clickbait. worst Atlantic article I've read in a long time.

Amen. This reminds me of a controversy from my "youth" decades ago, when we all bought stereo high fidelity systems. Back then, the controversy was power output too. Seems, until regulators cracked down, that some were advertising high powered ("1000 watt output...") systems that were...

thanks. I've searched for this information in the past and failed. Guess it doesn't matter at this point, since I've figured out how to make the bike work for me...

Can you provide a reference for this? Has Bosch published the torque curves? Thanks.

2200 feet in 9 miles? That's a gentle upslope where I live. :) OTOH, if it's steady, with no chance to rest for even a few seconds, I understand...

Depends. If I'm riding with my 30ish daughter like last weekend, Tour or Sport, in order to keep up. Otherwise, ride recreationally and for exercise, so I use as little power as I can, and only uphill, but this depends on my chemotherapy cycle. At the end of a cycle (28 days), I feel a lot...

Wow. You don't get it, do you? EV chargers are put in place for (drum roll....) EV charging, not for anyone who needs a "convenient" source of power. To think that you feel entitled because it's more convenient, in your mind, because of mapping of EV chargers, than finding a regular AC...

The problem, as I've said here before, is that we're not really the "customers" of Bosch, except for the rare one of us who buys an after-market Nyon. Bike manufacturers are the principle customers, and appear to be the ones Bosch listens to. Curious how they leave us hanging with frustrating...
