    Introducing Rich from Crazy Lenny's

    Welcome, lil'Rich, I'm new to the e-bike world, after test driving one in FL. Loved the feeling as I previously was a 6000 mile a year rider here in MN when working fulltime. Injuries got me sidetracked but looking to get back into it now that I'm retired :)

    E-bike Controls Survey

    submitted. We'll be in Amsterdam and Haarlem the end of May. Where do you live? Are there restrictions on higher powered ebikes? Can ebikes use bike lanes? I think I saw that motor scooters in bike lanes are now illegal

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    that seems odd to forbid reflective side tires as they'd seem safer when moving, standing still, help cars see you so not sure on their logic. Anyone hear why they are now forbidden??

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    Scooter-- I was hoping the factory box from Stromer could be used as there is minimal takedown and reassembly required. But it is oversize for most shippers :( In the near future I will likely want seasonal transport btwn MN and FL. I just discovered how the E-bike shipping class gets...

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    Thanks. The box size is the deal-breaker with almost all shippers, as BikeFlights won't touch it. Taking front wheel off and bars going sideways sounds like the only way for reasonable shipping IF there is no battery as the e-bike price skyrockets :( Is there a best method/shipper to ship a...

    steering head play??

    Hi, for a carbon fork with it's "mystery to me" compression fitting in the head, should there be any play in fork bearings? At rest with front brake on, should there be any movement forward when pushed? No movement or is small movement allowed? What does it take to adjust the play out...

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    Rear rack trunk bags? Messenger bag?

    Hi, St2-S on order for spring pickup (Minne Snowta resident) so I'm looking for accessories. For rear rack trunk bags, what brands/models fit their factory rack? I think I just want 8 L max with remote chance of wanting expandable beyond that? Links would be great. For a messenger bag...
