    I've been searching for lighter LRR tires but the choices are limited and some quite expensive... something with a continuos center bead or almost would be great.. This one is new and only 1420g and pricey $120.... with a great name too.. A tubeless conversion seems like a sketchy/messy...

    Aaron, Hope your foot is healing well...it's great that you are out there riding... What psi are rolling on? I know the tires are rated at 30psi max.. but it might be a harsh ride... I always go for the tire max as I like a lower rolling resistance... but I've never had power assist...

    [ Most aluminum for consumer use gets anodized, like cooking pans or flashlights cases, window frames.. to list a few... It can be clear or dyed any color, for the RR rims they chose a matte black finish... it protects the aluminum from oxidizing that powdery white stuff that forms on...

    That was great, I like the way he elbowed his buddies out of the way to pass them... The fat tires really proved the worth on this trail... But for some reason I feel thirsty after watching that.. I hope this guys posts more videos.. and hopefully can give us a review/grade??

    I thought the rim were anodized black aluminum double walls? Pulse in the rear brake does sound like a slightly warped rotor.. Aaron, 23.7, is that with your input, or all electric... I believe if we modify the controller we might see 30 ... but I would be worried about overheating the...

    FTC, Hmm, wasn't the Wave Ebike also available before IGG... therefore should not have been eligible for CF?? But I would not want to get on the Russians bad side... so why take that chance...

    A wheel truing YT video... They are all pretty long winded... I wouldn't use a screwdriver... some thing softer... unless you want scratched up rims... but that doesn't bother this guy... They are plenty of other videos, nearby on YT... One guy uses zip ties...as a guide. but he has all sorts...

    I watched it too, too bad the rider didn't show us any references, ie, speedometer, battery charge state...or closeups of the bike parts.. at the end of the video it seemed to me that the bike started to bog down...going up a steep hill ?? We'll have to wait until somebody can narrate and...

    How can IGG breath a sigh of relief ... they don't seem human... And besides it will be a long while until all bikes are accounted for. If they even can be... for 240 grand (in 5+ mos.) IGG is not going to do all that much in the follow up CS department...just MHO...

    Sam, Loose spokes, already... They should be a heck of a lot tighter than finger tight... Truing bike wheels is kind of and art... takes some practice... First you'll need to get a good spoke wrench... and some guides you can softly clamp to your forks or frame... Then you kind of just go...

    "Storm isn't going to China for 40 bikes." 40 is a decent order though or one maybe 2 models... The problem is there are 4 color combos and I would guess the 3 colors of plastic lunch boxes aren't just laying around? People who are paying $649 now may have along wait... but they'll take your...

    Good news Phrodos, are you in batch 1 or 2? Also, sounds like they have a handle on the repacking... I'm pretty sure the problem wasn't in the original pack job... I think they open the boxes in Seattle and/or inspect plus install the battery... before passing them on to the states shipper...

    Seems pretty unethical asking and accepting payment so far in advance and for more extra battery shipping perks than extra batteries ordered... just greed driven... is all that is... Over at RadRover, they don't ask for shipping until they pair the bike with the battery in Seattle and then...

    Court has some fun on this one.. ( Really, he seems to have a lot of fun in what he does..) The "oh, oh!" moment is at 12:46... Pretty funny... Also a cool/easy technique for removing rubber hand grips @ 3:30.. Regarding a review by Josh... Anything would be better than nothing... Also some...
