    How to Make "off-road only" Electric Bike Legal in California

    We are thinking along the same lines. I want a "eMotorBike" built to DOT standards like the 2000W Grace One.15. The One.15 is DOT legal right down to license plate. Please notice the One.15 has a Gates Carbon Drive belt, rather than a chain. Uses Schwalbe Crazy Bob 26″. E-Bike ready. The main...

    How to Make "off-road only" Electric Bike Legal in California

    I want to register the bike as a motorcycle. For example, the Grace One.15 is advertised as an eMotorBike. The one.15 is manufactured to DOT standards, right down to license plate holder. I do not want to play games with the law. I want a fully, legally compliant "eMotorBike" like the Grace...

    How to Make "off-road only" Electric Bike Legal in California

    Maybe I asked the wrong question. The bike is "off-road" use only. Why is that? The bike has a 20mph cut off that can be disabled from the CA display. Would they have to pass DOT regulation for them to say "on-road" use. There must be some test they would fail, like the tire tube overheating...

    How to Make "off-road only" Electric Bike Legal in California

    My street lacks a bike lane. The hill is 10% grade and 35mph speed limit. I must ride in the right hand lane with traffic. Do you see any other option? I have no other road.

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

    OK. I was trying to openly collaborate. My lesson was it is better to expound upon new idea with only one or a few other people in a private conversation. Everyone comes from a different viewpoint. The result is people work at cross-purposes. Anyhow, let's drop it and forget about it. I...

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

    Do not confuse beating up and bullying people with reasoning. Only dictators reason in that manner. Ad hominem attacks are an entirely different approach than addressing the substantative issues. Ad hominem attacks clearly describe all the responses to this post from you and your gang. The...

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

    I think some eBike riders have been so disrespected by traditional bicyclists, that they have a chip on their shoulder. The boss kicks the worker. The worker goes home and kicks the dog. Explains a lot of "in-group" social behavior.

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

    I live in the heart of the Silicon Valley, the home of companies like Tesla and Apple. I certainly do not live in your world. I imagine your world looks like the picture in the first post.

    Mountain Bikes Anger or Attract Mountain Lions

    A helicopter with an elephant seal-like nose cone has been flying all over the park and drainage area today. I believe CA DFW is looking for the cougar.

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

    Did you notice the first post? A friend traded his eBike for a Honda FSX150 scooter, so I want to avoid his mistake. His primary reason was poor uphill performance on 10% to 18% grade hills. Second, ten mile trips in local traffic were too difficult. I keep on hearing this eBike-club...

    Cost-Benefit Comparison: Solar versus Electric Bike Motor Battery Recharging

    When is a solar backpack a better option than electric bicycle regeneration from the motor? Clearly, only non-geared hub motors allow this option. If you own a mid-drive, then solar is your only option. The HPC folding solar panel can recharge your battery during lunch. Also, battery damage...

    Only reported you. You complain that I am too prolific of an author, so that makes for a very small percentage. That makes you a very special person.
