A YouTuber who travels the country in his RV got a free Himiway Cruiser from the company for promotional purposes. He bought a bike rack for the rear of his motor home to carry it. One day he noticed that the bike was coming on all by itself every 6 or 8 seconds and trying to drive itself off...

I suspect most of those who might be able to help you don't often read the 'Introductions' forum - Posting your question in the 'General Ebike Discussion' forum would surely get you better responses Don

Welcome! You can always move south for the winter 🤣 Don

You might want to order them now - Then the shop might have them in by January . . . . Don

Yeah, since you know it needs a new display, that would be the place to start. Get that replaced and all your problems may be over Don

For eBikes, hydraulic vs mechanical? One system works 99% of the time and is very inexpensive to repair, the other works 95% of the time and is very expensive to repair. I'm all for saving a buck wherever possible, so until my mechanical brakes let me down, I have no plan to 'upgrade' to a...

I agree - If your attitude is "f*ck off" because somebody who didn't buy from you needs service, then you're not going to last long in any business. Some people buy used, some bought in another state and some are trying to save a buck. You make it sound like if they had bought from you...

The Range GOM (Guess-O-Meter) on a BEV isn't all that useful because actual range depends on so many variables - Speed, vehicle loading, jack rabbit starts, tire pressure, etc, etc but if you know how to use it, it can be fairly helpful But, a GOM on an eBike would seem to be totally useless...

36 volts or 48 volts . . . . or more? 8 amp hours or 16 amp hours . . . . or more? The cheapest made in China cells or name band cells of higher quality? I like the $250 to $5K answer . . . . 🤣 Don

Many discretionary purchases (not just eBikes) eventually come down to that. "I once liked this so much that I paid $$$$ for it, but now I can only sell it for $. Considering that's all I can get for it now, maybe it's worth it just to keep it around for occasional use?" Would you...

Smart move! The average person thinks they could shoot someone over some item of personal property, but they'd probably actually have to think about it twice or three times. The criminal on the other hand will react almost instantly when someone points a gun at them. You're trying to save...

I don't think everyone assumes that, but the market for any electric powered vehicle (even very popular models and I'd bet very few prospective buyers have ever heard of the model you're selling) is often at 50% or less, even for relatively new items - People are reluctant to pay more because...

When I was a kid (more than 50 years ago) you saw very similar trikes (some of them with gas engines) with a 3 by 3 by 3 foot insulated box on the front, selling ice cream which they kept cold with dry ice. I can still remember getting my tongue frozen to a fudge cicle! I've also seen dozens...

I think you'll be surprisingly happy with the Lectric folder. I'm 6' and have had mine for a year now and it still amazes me every time I take it out - You'll have a very hard time finding more bike for the buck. You can convert them to Class 3, but I've never been tempted. Be careful...

Lithium batteries have a very long shelf life - Even a 5 or 10 ma load would run the battery down mush faster than just leaving it sit on a shelf unused Don

I'm sure you have a reliable source for that?? You wouldn't be just tossing ridiculous numbers at us here, would you? Or . . . . maybe I'm truly a one percenter for once in my life?? Don

I suppose by and large, that's true but there are a few exceptions - If you're not making a cheaper product, but you eliminate the middlemen, drastically cut back your advertising and marketing costs, you can bring out a decent product at an amazingly low price The guys who came up with the...

Amen! A couple times over the past 35 or 40 years I've somehow ended up with Hanes briefs in my underwear drawer - I'd blame my wife if I wasn't aware of how quickly I grab things in the store. Whoever designs those things sure doesn't know where NOT to put bulky seams. I've tossed or given...

I'm sure there *are* some absolutely fabulous Local Bike Stores where the owner and all his employees are 100% honest and would NEVER take advantage of a single customer . . . . and then, there are the others. . . . . and then, there are those of us who don't live within 100 miles of any LBS...

And of course it is just common sense that for a newbie in any sport, you should start with an entry level piece of equipment to learn the sport, learn what features are most important for you before you spend big bucks on something that may not be well suited to you personally. Did you buy a...
