    Narrowed down. Cero One or Dost Drop chain.

    Cero One would be my choice. Such a cool bike. I know you said No to Tern but I think that the Quick Haul P9 is a really great deal for a cargo bike.

    Good Stuff You Bought

    I have that same tail light/horn/alarm. I like it but I don't use it much so I really only charge it once a month. I only turn the alarm on when I'm locking up in front of the store or if I have to leave my bike in front of my garage unattended for a minute or two. If I'm on a mixed use path...

    ooh new garmin radar with a camera now.

    I think the Varia is great for city riding. It does not keep making audible alerts for every passing car. What it does is give you one audible alert if it sees one car or a group of cars. If it’s one car, it will alert you that is approaching and then give an all clear tone when it’s done...

    ooh new garmin radar with a camera now.

    Rear radar isn’t for preventing motorists from hitting you (except that the lights will go into rapid flashing mode as a car approaches to further draw attention). What it does is make you a much safer rider by letting you know when it’s okay to merge or make that turn without having to...

    ooh new garmin radar with a camera now.

    I love my Varia. I won't be purchasing this, though. I know that footage in case of an accident doesn't have to look pretty but I'm spoiled by the super steady footage from my Hero 9 and Osmo Action.

    No Zooz owners ?

    Back to basics nostalgia for me. I won’t be purchasing one but I understand why 70s and 80s kids might want it.

    Audio alerts with Sena M1 via BT from Garmin Varia RTL515?

    It does require a smart device running the Varia app. The 515 will not connect directly to the helmet BT.

    No Zooz owners ?

    They really do look like fun. I kinda want one since my first bike was a BMX. No, I never learned any cool tricks but it sure brings back the nostalgia.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    A day not at work is a day well spent.

    Not riding again until I install mirrors

    I’m in the same boat. I tried for a few weeks to get used to a mirror for my SF commutes, it always felt awkward. I have the Varia on every ride and only turn it off when I get to the trails. I absolutely love it. I still do the shoulder check when merging or turning left in traffic but it’s...

    Yamaha Wabash suspension fork?

    Have you tried supple tires and/or a Redshift suspension stem? It might be all you need.

    Electric Car thread

    Been a fan of Rivian since watching Long Way Up. And I really need to stop watching the review videos since I’m starting to justify what would be a crazy purchase for me. Amazing vehicle that can do almost everything better than dedicated sports cars, off-roaders or luxury sedans.

    That’s on my shortlist! What trim did you go with?

    At least in Cali, I understand there’s already a fee on top on the annual registration cost for EVs.

    Electric Car thread

    Hey all. Who's driving an eCar? I'm not really looking for reviews but wanted to hear some experiences and some nuances about living with it daily that those "initial review" videos can't encompass.

    Class 3 restrictions - California

    I’ve never been on a trail or MUP that specifically restricted any bike by class. I’ve seen many 15MPH signs that all bikes must observe.

    How do you inject tube sealant?

    Not really. Tires are porous and the sealant does evaporate. I’ve only had to clean out and replace my sealant twice but every time I’ve had to do it, it was always obviously lighter than when I initially put the sealant in. I haven’t weighed them side by side but supposedly a normal inner tube...

    How do you inject tube sealant?

    I’ll confirm that this is my experience as well. I fill up my tubeless setup more often than when I ran tubes. But the comfort and protection are well worth it for me.

    Class 3 commuters

    It was an adventure but I finally found a solution that worked.
