    Bike tires? Puncture proof? Skid proof?

    Worth the effort? Giant Lafree

    My guess is you will never find the original parts you need. Only you can say if it will be worth it to you to source what you need to get it functioning. For me it would be a non-starter. I will add that it looks very heavy ,do you really want to commit to it? On the plus side it does have the...

    Bike tires? Puncture proof? Skid proof?

    Yes but on a bike everything is a compromise. In order to get flat proofing you must sacrifice something else. I have never tried the airless tires but I have been told that they are less comfortable with increased rolling resistance.They are interesting though and I would love to hear your 6...

    Brakes ?? what stopping Me? lol pretty lame I know But?

    Choosing a bike. Help!

    Nice Dave! I would mention that I have broken two of those racks by carrying a pair of spare batteries in them and once the whole bag flew off with both batteries when going over a curb into an intersection. The top horizontal rails on both racks broke in the same place. Also If you carry...

    How do i make my rear rack / basket more shock absorbing for food delivery?

    I guess that is why I see many riders using those giant backpacks. Their bodies are the shock absorbers.

    "It's not on fire, it just overheated"

    Does water even stop it from burning ? Thermal runaway is real.
