On a commuter bike? LOL I see a frame warranty denial in the OP's future.

I remember this question asked before on this site. In all of my years reading various mtb and bicycling magazines; poking around here and over at Bike Forums, I have never, ever seen a question like this ever posed before. Please tell this audience what you expect to gain by removing a rack...

Outstanding! Congrats!

@retiredNH - I am saddened to hear of this news. My thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this time and in the coming days, weeks, months and yes, years. There will be a good number of people here who will be thinking and praying for you in this time, too.

Adventure Rider has forums on each brand and model you've brought up. You can probably get a better feel for what others there think in their long term ownership on each particular model. The Monkey has alot of enthusiastic owners and riders there. Many interesting modifications, as well. Back...

For sure, one could see apartment management as well as HomeOwner Associations successfully doing this. This is where some good can come from these fire tragedies and that Rad Power crash in CA with death: Force all modern bikes to come standard with a thru axle locking system and hydraulic...

I hope to read of others who have purchased and used ebike-specific back packs for the purpose of bringing along an extra ebike battery. Looking into it several years ago, I found these types of backpacks were exclusive to Euro backpack makers as the mtb ebike market there caught on earlier than...

I concur with @Stefan Mikes, 50nm of torque for hilly country as found in MA, combined with that Nexus rear hub is going to be a disappointment for you. IMO. As far as the belt drive goes, every bike mfr advertising a belt drive by Gates, will advertise that fact in their info. I see non of that...

No problem, Al. "Diagnosing bike squeaks" on the internet always seems to be like a dog chasing his tail! We can also file that under "my motor is making a noise...."

Your safe bet would be a silicone spray or silicone dielectric grease (Example here: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7651190?cid=paidsearch_shopping_dcoe_google&campaign=GSC-Chemicals&campaign_id=6478876245&adgroup_id=115972171828&adtype=pla&gc versus a petroleum based grease which could...

In the times I have turned on the PearTune right outside my drive and before a long run of say, 30 miles; I have not noted any appreciable loss of battery capacity because of the destrictor. I don't use the PearTune much at all. I consider it the real "Turbo" button to hit if I need to beat a...

The speed chip allows the same level of assist to be outputed by the motor at speeds above 19mph, when the standard factory Yamaha setup would normally cut the motor assist out. This additional assist works whether on level, uphill or downhill conditions. Still, to be at or above 20 requires...

I'm not sure if the wax vs petroleum lube debate will ever be settled. Kudos to the participants in keeping their cool as most of the time, energetic discussions like this one always ends with somebody putting somebody else on Ignore or at the worst, somebody gets a lifetime suspension...

If the display can be opened up (controller, too), it's worth a shot to place the opened display and controller in a container of rice. Plain, white rice, that is. Leave it for a few days and see what happens. The rice will absorb any moisture present. Of course, your flavored rices such as the...

It looks to be free-riding on that wave of air being pushed by the Jeep. This reminds me of something I saw while our USCG cutter was out on patrol, some 200 miles off the coast of the northeast Atlantic; a pod of 3-5 dolphins would swim directly in front of the bow of the ship while she was...

Welcome to the forum! I really believe that once you get into a routine of riding your ebike and that you consistently stay with it, that you will be able to UP that 10 year life expectancy to 15 plus years. At a minimum, your cardiac system is going to thank you for getting that ebike! :)

@Drwhitenack-7000 miles is just the warm up act for your Yamaha drive train. I've almost 19 thousand miles on my Haibike Full FatSix Yamaha PW drive system with no motor or battery or ancillary system failures. However, at 7000 miles, your chain is most likely stretched and in need of replacment...

A little late answering this question, but I have a Bike E FX two wheeled, dual suspension recumbent. Haven't ridden it for 20 years now as other bikes and now, the Haibike Full FatSix is my favorite and only bike riding option! https://bicycleman.com/bikee-fx-recumbent-bike/ Two things to...

This is fantastic news. I hope you consider my suggestion of keeping him housebound. Worries about wondering off and getting attacked by some predator or hit by a vehicle are eliminated. The cat will acclimate to the new routine.

So sorry to hear this, Scooter. My hope is that your beloved Top Hat shows up at the front door soon. And when he does.......that will be the last time he is allowed outside the house as he now transitions into a new world as a house cat! All the best to you and Mrs Scooter during this uncertain...
