Thanks so much for your input.My LBS put a new battery and a Grin Cycle Analyist on my used bike back in April this year and I am documenting every single ride onto paper to track my wear and tare.The bike only had 26 miles on it but it had been stored in a cold garage and the batt was dead and...
My bike is a beast.About 76 pounds with my stuff on it.I pull front wheel,batt,and top bag and lift it into the back of my 2003 ford explorer.So far I can still do this.I have peddeled 22 miles with no power just to see if I could.I don't ride for exercise,thats a buy product of riding for fun...
Whats the most miles you put on 1 bike?And how was the maintaince over that span of time.On my beastly bike I'm still on my original tires,brakes,chain etc.No problems at all so far.
I would like to know how many years/miles did you get out of battery before you had to replace it.What volt and amp of said battery.I'm just curious to hear some real life use out of the ebike and battery.This December I will have one year on my 1st ebike.As of yesterday I have 1637 miles so...
I agree with you.I have to remind myself of the 10 percent rule.10 percent of the people don't follow the rules and ruin things that 90 percent of us abide by.I didn't do so well following the rules when I was younger,but as I have aged I slowed down and started following the rules much better.
I have tried the $35 seat post and was useless.My LBS has Thudbusters in stock so I bought one a year ago,it is very good but for light weights like me 155 lbs it doesn't flex enough even with the light bushings.My next post will be the Kinect or Suntour.I rented a Rad cargo bike for a full day...
50 miles again today.Saw 1 fat peddle bike,1 walker,1 runner.So in 100 miles on these trails we rode for hours on end without seeing anyone.Trail today was a bit more loose stone and a very brisk headwind.Very senic and will do this again.One of these photos shows a snake I havent seen here in...
Great ride today,Trail is in very good shape.50 miles and we passed 2 separate riders,and 1 walker.Elk tracks,deer,and really good senery.Life is good.Tomorrow we start at the Tower Mi Trail head,and ride to Alpena.Hope to see an Elk or black bear
Will do.I'm excited to get started.1st ride on North Central rail trail here in northern Mich.I rode a 20 mile section of the Petoskey trail last Sept 2018
Update on this ride.We decided to start our ride at the soccer field in Gaylord @ 9:30 am Tuesday.Wednesday we are riding eastern trail,details will be posted late Tuesday.
I'm not ready to buy a 2nd bike yet,but when I am I have already been thinking about this very subject.I have been supporting my local ebike shop for a year now and I really value his experiance and know how on everything ebike.I'm always looking at ebikes but the first thing I do is see if he...

I bought this Sandviper at an estate sale last November so right away I needed to know its battery range,and how far I could peddle with no power.Its a 500 watt 8fun geared hub motor with a 48v 14amp ebikemarketplace new battery May of 2019.48 front ring 7 speed rear.With my gear on the bike I'm...

I'm wrestling with the same thoughts.My ebike is 20mph on pas. and has a throttle.In my short time and 1400 plus miles on class1 trails I've had no problems.I believe the throttle makes it a class 2.Most all of the ebikes I like all have a throttle.So do I remove the throttle?My bike is a 2016...
Good info Ravi.I watched your videos on your world record break that also showed the long segment with Prof Jeff Dawn.You ready to do a million miles on the Commuter Pro.LoL
