"Only two things are infinite. The Universe and human stupidity. And we're completely sure about the Universe." Albert Einstein

I think we need to stop blaming ebikes and ecigarettes for fires that are caused by irresponsible use of lithium ion batteries. It is the battery that has the potential to cause damage by fire. The application of the power unit is irrelevant. The same batteries are used in laptops, cell...

You could wire up a dynamo to the trainer and use the energy generated to charge your battery to power the wheels to drive the dynamo to charge the battery to power the wheels to...……...you get it.

Like Balemonkey I ride a Yukon 750 Ltd. 49 yrs old. Interestingly when my 15yr old daughter heard I was getting an ebike, she told me that she intended to get one when she leaves home. She had done a school project on what get lifestyle would be like when she is in her 20's. She could tell me...

Riversurf and Over50 have the right idea. An Abus Granit X Plus D lock or Abus Bordo with a good thick cable should do the job. Use them everytime you leave your bike unattended. Don't get lazy or compromise on expense. Let other people do that. They will be the one's that get their bike...

$20 phone holder from Amazon. Quick and easy to use, no messing around with straps etc and holds the phone like a vice. Very happy with the purchase.

Funny, I have been keeping a mental tab on how many ebikes I see everyday. I ride my ebike for an hour every day for a daily commute from home to work and back again, on Vancouver Island, BC. I reckon that 40%-50% of the bikes I see are ebikes. Now assuming that ebikes might make up about 5%...

Burning man eh?...…...I think you are the only person that could get burnt here. Save your money ready for when a good deal comes along.

Hey John, put less wax on your saddle, that might help as well. Too funny.

Don't get mad. It's such a waste of energy. Like dino-cycling into a head wind. Why would anyone choose to do that? Remember, 10% of cyclists are die-hard anti-ebike and can never be changed. 10% would love to be e-bikers, but haven't switched over yet. You don't have to prove anything to them...

Abus Granit X- plus 540 D-lock. Its one of the best rated locks on the market. Either I'm riding my bike or it has the Abus lock on it. The rule of thumb is to spend no less than 10% of the value of your bike on locks. $2000 bike means $200 worth of lock/s. The most important thing to remember...

Spend 10% of the value of your bike on locks. Don't waste money on anything unless it is made by Abus or Krytonite. Learn how to lock the bike properly - Court did an excellent video on how to lock your bike up. Lock it up every time you leave it. The more you lock it, the quicker you will get...

No. You can ghost pedal in any gear. Essentially, so are turning the pedals just enough to "fool" the cadence sensor into thinking you are cycling but in actually fact you are just turning the pedals and the motor is pushing you forward. Virtually no effort is required. The throttle useful...

There will always be a slight jerk when the motor kicks when you start pedaling. This is something that some people feel is a big issue with ebikes in general. Personally it never really bothered me that much, and is something that I don`t even notice any more. The half throttle works just...

I have been riding the Yukon for about 6 weeks. Given your body weight and a flat surface I would say that a Yukon could do 30 miles on a single charge even if you did it throttle only. Even light pedalling will extend your range though. Speed limiter can be changed on the control box via...

"No fair" "You choose to fight uphill gradients and headwinds. No one makes you do it."

I think that there is a lot of unnecessary concern surrounding mid drive vs hub drive. The main arguments I have heard for mid drives are this; Mid drive motors will give you more torque. They are easier to maintain. It is easier to change a flat to rear tire. Most people on these forums do not...

Purchase Voltbike Yukon 750 Ltd Reason Appearance. The bike just looks badass and I get lots of positive comments when out riding. Price. At $2300 after taxes, accessories and delivery this is hard to beat. Components. Like PCDoctorUSA, I had the Yukon and Radrover as top of my want list...

Uphill!! Remind me, what is that again? Nice job Kory

Not tried 3 inch tires but are you aware that Voltbike launched a new bike this week? The Voltbike Bravo. Its basically the same as the Yukon 750 except it has 2.1 inch tires, 500w motor and 14v 12.8Ah battery. $300 cheaper than the Yukon 750 Ltd.
