Generally you always use it with the clutch on, turning it off only to make removing the wheel easier.

I am refurbishing an old-school 26" Ellsworth right now.

Hydraulic brakes would be an upgrade, but hydraulic lines on a folding bike are not really a good idea. Are you having a problem with the brakes; how are you dissatisfied with them?

Not sure I understand what you mean by the O.D. of the clamp. Do you not mean the I.D. of the clamp? If you want to buy a different clamp, remove the old one and measure the O.D. of the frame's seat tube. That will be the size you need.

The Civante is also a class 3, 28 mph bike vs. the Cross Core's class 1, 20 mph limit. It can be done, but it would not be cheap. So if you want a flat bar bike, buy one that is already set up that way. That said, if you have never tried drop bars, I would encourage you to do so. Drops are more...

So I take it that a customer went for a test ride, took their hands off the bars and proceeded to crash?

I am experienced, and I do not see any problem with converting a Vado SL to drop bars, other than cost. Will it ride the or handle same as a Creo? No, but so what? It is probably akin to the difference between a road bike and a gravel bike.

There are only two types of handlebar grips; ones that rely on friction to grip the handlebar, and lock-on grips that are held in place with one or two lockrings. If there are no lockrings with hex key fasteners, then your bikes has friction grips. Here is how to remove and replace handlebar grips:

I am not familiar with how the Giant battery is mounted. Could you put a piece of foam on the inside to dampen the rattle and get rid of the ugly strap?

Mini bike style e-bikes seem to be popular, so I do not see why a scooter style e-bikes would not also be popular. Neither style appeals to me, but I am not the target market. As for people getting pulled over, not my problem. :p

I have not ridden either bike. But the difference is more than just $400, because the Yamaha has an air fork vs. the coil fork on the Trek. The Yamaha has a step up in other components as well, with Shimano SLX 11 speed vs. Deore 10 speed, Shimano brakes vs. Tektro, and centerlock rotors vs...

Or this. LUPINE

Riese & Müller is the only manufacturer that I can think of that offers those two items together. EDIT: found another. The Nicolai G1 EBOXX G14

I sure would like to see Moustache offer a few Gates belt IGH models.

A hammer (such as the Park Tool Shop Hammer, or a plastic mallet.) Here are service instructions for Yamaha motors. See page 2-4 and the accompanying illustration. Read the tip for removing the motor from the frame mount.

If I am not mistaken Bosch motors use ISIS standard crank arms, so and left ISIS arm of the correct length will suffice. The length should be printed or stamped on the inside of the arm; 170, 172.5, and 175mm are the most common sizes. As CN points out, if the arm's pedal threads are not...

I doubt it is a scam; the people who backed this will likely get their bike. It is just another Chinese fat folder, after all. But the claims made are surely oversold and fantasy.

Mr. Tuffy liners normally overlap the ends by a couple of inches. If you cut them down to fit a smaller diameter tire, let the cut lie underneath the factory cut end.

It really depends on where and how fast you are riding. My wired-in light is an StVZO compliant, and it is fine for being seen and putting out enough light for urban use at slower speeds, but it is not enough for unlit paths at night and greater speeds.

While not the brightest, I have the Fenix BC30R, which puts out a reliable 800 lumens on high; the newest version does 1000 lumens. The ad copy states 1800, but that is only in burst mode which is only useful for flashing oncoming traffic. The Fenix BC30 puts out 1500 on high and uses...
