I believe the motor & gearbox in one unit is the future for ebikes. It should be cheaper to build motor & transmission in one unit than two separate unites.

It is hard to stop progress and my take is this is the ultimate all in one drive train principle and the future for refined electric bikes. It just makes sense. Nothing stays the same! Never has and never will. When Ford Motor Co. designed the Ford tractor without a frame with the motor...

That is not necessarily correct. My mid drive did not have a smooth power delivery at all.

I have had two other brand bikes and now have a Prodigy ST. The Prodigy feels and looks superior in so many ways. The high end German motor is so quiet, smooth and gives a natural feeling power delivery that is free of jerking, surges etc. The geometry of the bike just feels right. The bike...

Something else to discuss. What about two wheel machines splitting lanes. Personally I am for it. One just has to watch out for the grump who sees you coming and opens his car door just before you get to his car. So many people just seem to hate bicyclists so we need to be courteous and...

I too live in Tucson, AZ. For years I have wanted to haul my bike to to the top Mt Lemon and ride down but never have. If anyone has please comment on the ride.

You can rest assured it isn't a high enough grade stainless steel for a magnet to not stick.

If it is aluminum a magnet won't stick, steel it will.

The kickstand is holding the bike too upright so when tire goes flat it stands straight up and tips. Shorten the kickstand .

I have a motor scooter that has been sitting in the garage for years and expect it would start right up if I put gasoline in it. Like it or not these kind of battery, charging issues regarding electric bikes are an issue that needs to be worked out by manufactures to use a standard charging...

Letting up when shifting just makes sense to ease the strain on the system. A torque system can keep power on just a bit when one lets up peddle pressure so as to not have an on and off feel if peddle pressure is interrupted momentarily. That could be annoying as he##. I have found for instant...

You answered your ow question. One word. SAND. You need an IGH with a belt drive.

Some airplanes use 24 volt systems because they can use a lighter gage wire to carry the same amperage thereby saving copper and weight. I have heard that some autos with miles of copper wiring are considering using a 24 volt system to save copper and weight. I believe it is the amp hour of a...

I too have a Prodigy. Mine does cut power when shifting but only for a split second. It is nearly undetectable.

Right on.

Disconnected and weird. How can you tell if the chainring is moving a different rate then the crank arms? A throttle is mindless? Gosh I would hope so as I wouldn't want it doing its own thing on my bike or auto.

My personal take regarding caring a gun for protection from the unknown dangers that lurk out there.. I have had had well over a dozen guns in my life but sold them all. They were all hunting guns. I never for a second considered them a weapon for personal protection. The only time the guns in...

Got it. The auto or pickup is the "wackos weapon" choice. Very useful and convenient in road rage incidents when other drivers or pedestrians piss you off. Just run the suckers over. Be careful though you don't kill them though as one could end up in bad dodo. If you want to kill them dead use...

Yes many devices can kill but one was designed specifically for killing.

Oi ya ya, comparing an automobile to a concealed weapon is so far out it is unimaginable.
