    Total e-bike ban after a fatality in Key Biscayne, FLA

    i agree however what if i had hit that that unhelmeted rider at 15 mph on a steel frame cruiser bike( speed is doable even by me) i believe she would have even then been seriously injured, maybe we need to require helmets on all bikes,even falling off a bike at rest can be a very tragic thing to...

    Total e-bike ban after a fatality in Key Biscayne, FLA

    you can bet that little "juvey" will do a lot of pedaling,no pedaling has been promoted for a long time starting in a big way with the lectrics.

    burn rubber! i am ashamed to state how much money i have thrown away over the past 4 years on this expensive but satisfying hobby( always excited when the boxes arrive) oth probably not as much as one good very high end ebike cost,glad to see the prices coming down on some of these things if...

    Bafang RM G062 - 1000W 3D Models / Design Modifications

    if you want regen and high speed,go to a dd motor,pushing more votage and amps will surely give this ecycle the speed you crave(no gears to worry about either,btw brake upgrade in order) otherwise keep on tinkering money knows no home.

    Bafang RM G062 - 1000W 3D Models / Design Modifications

    no disrespect,seems like you are reinventing the wheel and violating the 95%-50% rule,enjoy if it is your thing and tell us if the improvements are really worthwhile.

    Do I need an eMTB?

    you can get a 26" 800 $aostrimotor full suspension 500 watt 15 ah battery surely not the best but a good gateway drug,i kept one a good while, long enough to wearoot the rear tire,it would probably make you want something better or satisfy your craving,it would do 17 miles in mixed terrain...

    Chain degreasing and skipping on smallest cog

    refuse to believe its that bad,with new technology,super caps,software etc,vitual tech can address many of those problems,kinda like diesel electric trains the motor is the transmission,already systems put just enough juice into some motors to eliminate the drag,bet the effeicency of a worn...

    Chain degreasing and skipping on smallest cog

    still waiting for the day when a direct electric drive is placed on the rear with enough smart electronics to basically let the motor be the "cassette" you would only pedal the small dynamo with enough effort put into the system you would basically have a true maintenance free system,i have to...

    8+ months of research, 100s of hours, know what I need & want but can't find it

    one little gnome like guy i met was extolling the virtues of a 2x11,probably over 70 he was and he was a "spinning" going up a long steep upgrade at eagle rock as for me i believe a 3 spd is plenty,when i was on the eastern trail yesterday dodging rocks and small boulders,i realized 11 mph was...
