    New York State ebike legislation

    Bill, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt the local police have received more than a memo, if that, about the ebike regulations. Even if they did, they would only use it under special circumstances. For instance, if someone gives them a hard time, or for a serious accident. They have more...

    Hello from upstate New York

    Not too many people on the Minne-Ha-Ha. Any other year and that boat would be full.

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Last week I posted a picture of Burnt Pond. On the way back from there was a section of downhill road where I hit 40 mph. That is the fastest I have ever ridden. Although somewhat exhilarating, I was more concerned about a deer, squirrel or even a chipmunk running out in front of me, not to...

    Front hub system for hill assist

    My front hub drive climbs hills very well on hard surfaces, but on dirt or gravel it’s a different story because there is a lot of tire slippage.

    We have ridden to the Adk. General Store for lunch several times. It’s about 22 miles round trip from the house with a nice hour-long lunch break.

    This morning’s ride, 12.8 miles, mostly uphill, then down a long way using brakes. The mill pond in the hamlet of Brant Lake. Last picture, Burnt Pond, a private community in the mountains in the middle of nowhere.

    Here are a couple pictures from today’s ride on Brant Lake. I rode up to the other end and back on the same road, which is actually slightly longer than going around. From the north end looking south, and midway up the lake.

    I rode around Brant Lake in the Adirondacks today, as I have many times. It is about 13 miles. The sky looked pretty menacing during most of the ride, and at about the 12 mile mark it started raining. I sped up and outran most of it for the last mile.

    That's funny, Dave. I spent 27 years working in all kinds of weather, as did you. Now, I want nothing to do with riding in rain. I don't even fish in the rain. 😀

    Very true, but you can bring up to 10 people for that price.

    Problem with 2016 Izip E3 Dash (currie/tranzX Drive train)

    It might be worth a call to Currie/Raleigh/iZip. Maybe there’s a free fix if enough of those motors went bad. 🤔

    I took my wife’s bike on a 15 mile, very hilly ride near our summer place. This is Crystal Lake, in the Adirondack Mountains. The building is Crystal Lake House. https://www.crystallakehouse.com/

    Problem with 2016 Izip E3 Dash (currie/tranzX Drive train)

    My wife's 2016 iZip E3 Vibe had similar TransX motor problems. Currie replaced the motor under warranty in 2017 with an updated one. I don't know what the mechanical problem was but I had read that it was common.

    Throttle option?

    My post above was placed in the wrong thread. Sorry for the misinformation. 🙃

    Step-Thru

    I think the top tube provides added strength and rigidity to the frame. Some step-thrus have a mid-tube.

    Throttle option?

    I can recommend Leeds. I have been using their 500w kit for about 4 years with no problems. Thumb throttle included. https://leedsbikes.com/product-category/e-bike-kits/250-series-e-bike-kits/
