    New York State ebike legislation

    Class three e-bikes are assisted up to 28MPH not 25MPH. I also feel it should be regulated by a "Speed Limitation" not a Class limitation as it is with every other motorized vehicle. On my daily ride on a local bike path, I could be riding at a 20-25mph clip and human powered bicycles are...

    That "Coaling" Thing

    It's like spraying a hockey goalie with ice shavings. There should be a penalty for such actions!

    Help choosing first e-bike

    I've said it before: Test ride as many as you can in your price ranges. You'll know which feels most comfortable for you regarding comfort, positioning and performance, and then inquire as to reputation and reliability. Form usually follows function, but I do have to include "style" because...

    Ebikes are no longer a rare sight on my commute

    In the city they pulled the Citi ebikes because of braking problems, however, I've seen much more ebikes around the city in the past few months than I've seen in the past couple of years. The 5 Borough Bike Tour is even allowing class I ebikes to enter, never before. The excursion is 40 miles...

    Hello, new to Ebikes and Ebike forum and would like some input if possible.

    All one can say is test ride as many as you can in your price ranges. You'll know which feels best and then inquire as to reputation and reliability.

    In the Big Apple, I've witnessed numerous summonses given to cyclists riding with headphones on, or earbuds in, both ears.

    Injured ebike Share riders (of Citibikes) 'lawyering up'

    Why would they put them on the front wheel. I remember a Shark Tank episode where someone created a braking system that would automatically engage the rear brake before applying pressure to the front, eliminating the chance of flipping over. That would be ideal for the inexperienced citibike...

    Safety and bike lanes

    As to Over 50's statement, I see no reason why a class 3 ebike shouldn't be allowed to ride in any bike lane as long as you drive at a responsible distance and speed in regards to the other bikes and traffic around you. I've been passed countless times by H-powered bicycles when I'm cruising at...

    Bike Polish

    And I did the opposite by going overboard. I wrapped the frame in automotive 3m paint protection film that is used for bumpers and hoods to prevent nicks and scratches to the paint. It still can be waxed or sealed and treated like a regular clear coated surface but it's pretty difficult to mar...

    The best chain cleaning process ever

    I've since splurged for an relatively inexpensive bike stand, but before that, I just turned the bike upside down on its seat and handlebar and used the parktool scrubber while pedaling forward. I am currently, however, removing and waxing as on the video above. Well, not exactly. I make a...

    How To Judge Quality

    Court was smart enough to include forums pertaining to numerous ebike companies. Those are probably your best sources to see how consumers have felt about and what kind of experiences they've had with a particular company's product...

    Best E-Bike Shop in Westchester New York--Any suggestions?

    A couple of years ago when I was shopping, I went up to Danny's in Pelham Manor to try a Trek XM 700+. They had a few others in the showroom. Now, they probably stock a lot more these days. They were courteous and knowledgeable and had very good areas to test the models they stocked. I'm sure...

    I broke my Haibike display. Do you know any place I can get it for cheap price ?

    If you can afford a Haibike, you can afford the manufacture's replacement. Don't skimp, you'll regret it later.
