    Water Bottle Cage Braze-Ons?

    Mtnm, I may have to get one of those water bottle mounts for my Carbon. I usually throw a water bottle in my backpack, but I HATE stopping to get it out, drink it, and put it back. I am a bit like Chevy Chase from Vacation who didn't want to stop at the Grand Canyon because he was making...

    Ok there was no threat of rain today, the rear tire is all fixed, no excuses, all systems were a go. So I took that bad boy to work and WOW it was so awesome. 38 minutes literally from door to door. I beat my last best time with my carbon by 4 minutes. It is SO cool and fun to ride that...

    eBike Buyer Beware?

    I completely shared your thoughts in this. Right down to the comparison to my cordless drill. Luckily, however, my cordless had a better fate. I have a 12 year old Craftsman C3 cordless power tool set. About 8 years in, the 3 batteries Ni-Ca batteries that I had for it were all but dead. I...

    eBike Buyer Beware?

    I had/have the same exact concern as you about battery replacement. I was VERY interested in the new DASH, but I was concerned buying a Currie bike because they make so many different models and the components across the range are almost all entirely unique to the specific model. That was my...

    Put my name on the waiting list, if there is one! I can't wait to get that baby home and take a picture of it next to my Delorean. Does it come in stainless steel? I know you guys are great about customizing!

    Motiv Electric Bikes - Newest Model

    Will the new Motiv Hover work over water as well as land? I remember a similar product, a few years back, piloted by a guy named Marty that didn't work well over water. I think there was something about water's surface tension not being strong enough to generate enough lift from the engine...

    What do you think about eMountain Bikes?

    Sounds good to me!! I would be willing to drive for a chance like that. I would even take my Trek hardtail! Is that Haibike or Peak strong enough to help tow me up the hills??

    Redundant Q's still need A's! (narrowing selection, please, read/respond!)

    If you can stretch your budget a bit, and/or find a good deal, I think the new Currie E3 Metro sounds perfect for you. You might even consider last years model, but that new one looks really good.

    OK I'm a total idiot. :eek: Now that I actually have a bike pump with a tire pressure gauge I realize that my tires have been EXTREMELY low. I had no idea that they were supposed to be as hard as a rock!! I changed my tire this morning. It took a while, about an hour, but now that I have done...

    electric mountain bike from china

    I just clicked on the link above and the website was hilarious. The picture on the top left corner shows a bunch of American "looking" people who appear to be engineers that work for the company. HA Then I read some of the text and there are numerous grammar and word choice errors. Some are...

    Even More Neo Carbon Love

    I just got home from work. I stopped by a bike shop on my way home to get a new, thicker tube. The guy there said that I probably didn't have enough air in my tires and quite honestly, they may have been a bit low. I do not have a tire gauge and I have been eye balling it. I bought a new...

    I'm REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY ANGRY. I tried to ride my bike to work this morning and I got a flat half way there. I had an extra tube and pliers, but that wasn't enough to get the wheel off. I had to call my wife to come rescue me. She is not really happy about the ebike purchase, and she also...

    What do you think about eMountain Bikes?

    Laguna is pretty awesome too. Where is Santiago Oaks? I've never tried there. Is out El Toro road in the canyon somewhere?? I would love to go the week after next during the week if you can. Less people and I will be off of work due to spring break. I'm a teacher. If we go.....Don't laugh...

    What do you think about eMountain Bikes?

    Maybe we could do Whiting Ranch some weekend. I live right by there. Hopefully the commuting on my Carbon will help get me in better shape and prepared. Let me know. Hey Larry, Why don't you grab us a couple of Haibikes to try out and come join us. Simi Valley is just a short 1:30...

    Howdy Neighbor, I've never seen those signs, but I quite honestly haven't hit the trails in a while. Where have you seen them? Where do you live? I live in MV!

    Court, I think that Eddie was commenting on a previous post of mine where I stated that I couldn't tell a difference between the modes of pedal assist!
