    First Battery Use: Drain It Entirely?

    I use the timer on my phone and I can estimate charge time. I get pretty close to my target of 90%. Something you might try.

    Can I use this inner tube?

    I have had very good results from these tubes on my son's bike. I have not had problems with narrower spec tubes. We are talking 2/10ths of an inch but I use caution on how much I inflate.

    First Battery Use: Drain It Entirely?

    I am no expert but you will be okay for a couple of days, just don't store the battery long term (several months with a full charge or completely discharged.) Batteries are expensive and require care, but they are not as fragile as some would have you believe. If you know your bike is not...

    So what bike does Court ride?

    In a couple of his videos he is being custom fit for a Specialized Turbo Vado. I assumed since they were making all of the adjustments for him that it might be one of his bikes.

    Short Guy here Looking for Right Fit.

    Good Luck Friend I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. Very tall, and I needed the XL frame. There are smaller bikes out there, just keep looking. Meanwhile see if you can rent an e-bike for a few hours. I rented one and it really helped in my decision making.

    E-bikes need more exposure

    I just got back from Hilton Head SC. Hundreds of miles of bike paths. I saw one E-bike, a Rad Mini, the 4 days I was there. I was surprised I did not see more. I thought maybe the locals would be more into them. Maybe I'll see more next year.

    US Manufactured Ebikes; Cost/Benefit Discussion.

    I appreciate the links to American made products above. I especially like the Swift panniers. This will likely be my next purchase. As far as having this discussion and "Deep Suspicion." I am not sure I am worthy of your trust, but as a general rule I investigate my American made options. I...

    Haibike Urban Plus 2017 - The most exciting Urban E-bike!

    I am in full agreement with your statement, but I would like to add that with my bike commuting I can make a tank of gas last two weeks instead of one week so that is $20-25 a week in savings.

    Feel like your bike frame lettering is like a giant billboard?

    I agree. I get tired of advertising. Certain brands of clothes I simply will not buy because of the name or logo. I want to take the GIANT logo off my Quick E +. I looked for oriental dragon decals that might work but the vinyl tape appears to be the way to go. What is even more annoying...

    US Manufactured Ebikes; Cost/Benefit Discussion.

    I see most of the middle class in the US being left behind as the new middle class develops in China, India, etc. The middle class jobs that are developing in other countries appear to be tech driven or benefit from advances in tech while the middle class jobs in the US appear to be what is...
