    Buying Ebikes On-the-Cheap

    I couldn't go big money since I needed to get 2 bikes, one for my wife and one for myself. I ended up getting 48v Xtreme Sedona models. I found a Florida dealer that I was able to speak with (Eric at FARBIKE.COM) and get a few questions answered. He also helped with the purchase process to...

    e-bike withdrawal

    On the rain I wrap my control pad and battery area with saran wrap if we are transporting the bikes through rain, but whenever we get caught riding the bikes in the rain we just wipe them dry when we get back from riding. Another thing worth mentioning, we bring our bikes in every motel we've...

    when will prices come down out of the stratosphere?

    My wife and I went this past weekend at 40 degrees. We dressed in layers and a hoodie for our ears. doubled up thin gloves under our biking gloves and all went well. We live for the next ride and our hunger has been for new places to ride that are off roads. Lots of Rail trails and we have been...

    when will prices come down out of the stratosphere?

    I have gotten the price request from interested folks, many who become disinterested after price is told. However with some explanation they get a better grasp of why. With that said the bikes I purchased for the wife and me were 1600 each. they have changed our lives and with that, they are...

    High Mileage - How do you do it?

    We rode on the Erie Canal from Little Falls to Fultonville and then back of course. It was paved the entire way we were in our last bar but could have gone a little further. We logged 47.4 miles. We were quite pleased. By comparison we've got a local trail that was lots of loose sand and we...

    Rain and the e-bike on a Hitch Rack

    When I washed our bikes this past weekend I took and cut the fingers off a rubber glove and then stretched it over the plug connections! Worked perfect!

    Rain and the e-bike on a Hitch Rack

    I agree, the saran wrap is cheap enough to have a roll with you and if needed it really doesn't take that long to put it on or take off. We tried a cover but by the time you put it over two bikes and strap it down good it just blocks your view and blocks your taillights. I also put luan panel...

    40 mile round trip commute

    Check Eric with Farbike.com his shop is in Florida and he sells the X-Treme brand. Look at the 48v models. My wife and I ride 30-40 miles on railroad trails with bumps and soft sandy areas, so if you are in Florida with only a 200ft incline on hard road surfaces I would think 40 wouldn't be...

    Rain and the e-bike on a Hitch Rack

    I take the batteries off when we know rain is on the way, I also installed a power inverter in our car so we can charge them while driving. After I remove the battery I wrap the empty compartment in saran wrap and then clear packing tape on the ends. We use a trashbag over the handlebars (was...

    Bike trailer questions

    That one looks much more specialized and we'll built. I would think you'll barely know it's there. One thing is you can't beat the cargo space you get with a trailer!

    Bike trailer questions

    We bought a 79.99 Wal-Mart special,it was for 2 small children but we bought it for our 3 dogs. It actually pulls very well. I have muscular dystrophy so I always use a little more battery power than my wife, so we use hers for the trailer and we run closer to even. Honestly we only average...

    Bought first Ebike (M2S)today.

    Periodically it pays to check bolts every now and again. Mostly I watch my rack bolts as we ride a lot of rail trails so sometimes plenty of bumps. I 've only had 2 actually loosen, one fell out and I replaced it with a longer bolt so I could nut the backside. The other one was yesterday but...

    Ebike counting ... how many today?

    The term that NY DMV uses is " "Motor-assisted Bicycle - a bicycle to which a small motor is attached. A motor-assisted bicycle doesn’t qualify for a registration as a motorcycle, moped or ATV and doesn’t have the same equipment." I believe this is another NY law that has not been revised in a...
