Not something I'd buy, but that is a good looking bike.

Sounds like you want a bike right now and cannot pre-order a bike? A lot of the online sellers do not have inventory. Do you require a throttle? Some want the ability to ride it like a scooter and not have to pedal. I can recommend this bike. It does not have a throttle, but it has a Yamaha...

That is a nice looking pannier! As far as pockets and compartments, I have an older model of Ortlieb's Office Bag, which is just like a briefcase with pockets for laptop, tablet, phone, pens, etc. It comes in two different sizes, and they also make a High Visibility version with reflective...

The Civante rims are 17mm inside width, so 28mm tires will definitely fit. The tube fit depends on the flat fold width, but I have seen many a bike with tubes that were "too wide" but stuffed into tires.

I can think of only two fasteners that always have thread lock: rotor bolts, and brake stud bolts (the bolts that fasten cantilever or linear pull brakes to the frame/fork). Occasionally it will be on derailleur pulley bolts or stem bolts, but this is not typical. Every other fastener is...

It cannot hurt, but crank bolts are supposed to be torqued quite heavily, so they would not be vibrating loose if torqued correctly in the first place.

An out of alignment derailleur would only really cause the chain to rub against the tire on the lower return section; the chain would be in the same position on the top regardless of the derailleur being bent or not. If it is rubbing on the top section of chain, I cannot say why or if there is...

Anything can be cut with an angle grinder. A more expensive lock has tougher and thicker steel, making it take longer to cut. The difference in time is measured in a minute or three. The convenience of a folding lock is offset by the fact that a folding lock is defeated with only one cut, while...

I do not think it is a bad bike. It has a good motor and a very large battery. 9 speed in the rear is also good; that means it most likely has a cassette hub instead of a freewheel. But it also appears to have cable actuated discs brakes and not hydraulic discs. So I just think that is a...

I always hated the idea of wearing a backpack, but after getting a Camelbak I became a convert. I use it all the time since there is not bottle mounts on my bike. That said, as far as just carrying stuff, I would rather carry it on the bike. If it is not a lot (but more than an under seat bag...

This bike? My review: have not seen or ridden one, but wildly overpriced. It looks to me to be a $400 regular bike with a mid-motor bolted on.

Not released yet, and there is a good chance they will never be produced.

Years ago...as in decades...I had a brake light that was activated by a pressure switch that was connected to the brake cable on the brake caliper.

The plastic core does not need to move; it merely stabilizes the bumper. If the top (or bottom piece when right side up) that held the rails did not move, then I could see your point. But it did move...it lowered the seat. Why? Because the bumper was not there to allow the seat to move up and down.

Before you attempt any cable adjustment, confirm the the derailleur hanger is straight; this is the piece that the derailleur is attached to. When you look at the derailleur from the rear of the bike, it should be hanging completely vertical. if it is not, then the hanger or possibly even the...

Looks normal to me. The cassettes have many different tooth profiles specifically for chain pickup and release. A worn cassette would have much thinner tops to the teeth bordering on pointy, but yours are still broad and flat.

I'd bet if you slapped on 28 mm tires like most other road bikes have, the ride would change significantly.

If you dive into Yamaha's geometry, the sizes are weird: they list the top tube as the size, not the seat tube.

I wonder how you would fit on a small Yamaha Civante? Yes, it is a road bikes with dropped bars, but it has wider 35mm tires, support up to 28mph, and the small has a 43 cm seat tube with a standover height of 725 mm. Maybe change the stem if you need to shorten up the cockpit. If you think 20...
