This is common in the crowdfunded world as they try to greatly increase their $$$$. For instance The Noke Ulock, first launched on KS, then months later on IG, then presales on their own website, blew every promised deadline, lied to their backers from the get-go, continued to lie, is now over...

Probably good for that "last mile commute" type situation where someone is using other transportation, like a train or bus for their commute to work and needs to get the final mile or couple miles to their destination.

I took it as an adjective. "S&M" Sado/Masochistic bike path.

Great article! I LOL'd my way through. I can't find where to add a comment to the end of article where the other comments are, but I'd really like to offer one.

I find on my Evo Street I need to (and want to) shift gears to the higher ones that are harder, in order to have what feels like optimum pedaling. This is especially true when I increase the assistance levels. Honestly, I don't pay a lot of attention to my cadence per se, I mean I couldn't...

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the 1up ramp looks like that @Ed D will be getting with his order. This is something 1Up doesn't have as a standard product offered on their website. Especially for women, seniors, or anyone who has limited upper body strength, lifting a 50+ lb bike...

They ran their campaign on both KS & IGoGo and have been using the money to build their business and marketing and advertising and create a corporate presence, rather than actually complete the product that they got $1.7MM in funding. They pulled all kinds of hinky things, had to redo the...

I saw this company, RockyMounts, and emailed them just for curiosity sake to ask the weight maximum for each bike tray. 60lbs, which will work for most ebikes. They have a single bike rack called the Monorail Solo, which is $279 and will fit either 1.25" or 2" hitch receivers. They also have...

Back in 2015 a KS campaign started for a bluetooth enabled Ulock, The Noké Ulock. I jumped in the funding pool and then, when they missed their first production date that same year and again slipped once more several weeks later, I was smart and requsted to get back my funding, which I did...

Some cool properties and land in Cary, NC on my fave ride Bike: 2015 Easy Motion Evo Street

Last year, down one of the busy roads in my area, which is 45mph, less than 1/3 mi from my house, there were 4 cyclists riding together. We have those 'sharrow' arrows, basically to share the lane with cars. Some drunk guy plowed into them. Two were hit and the other two were not. One woman...

Fortunately no one's called me a "cheater" yet. My face gets pretty red, I'm sweating, I'm working those pedals, and the lycra lizards are still faster than me. I'm ready just in case, with a couple different comebacks, but mostly I get asked, "Is that an ebike?" "yes." "hmmm..." and usually...

Wow! Well that's one way to alter the market landscape. A really short-sighted way, but a way nonetheless. :eek:

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but when I recharge my battery, which I do after a ride, regardless of how much battery or how little battery I use on that ride, I charge it till the green light comes on in the charger, which is 100% charged. Generally-speaking I tend to have approximately 25% left...

How awesome is this! I love when new friends are formed from serendipitous moments.

I read somewhere (and can't remember exactly where now) that one way to help your bike for wet and wintery conditions is to wipe it down with some WD40. At least the frame. Not sure if any electronic component or motor should ever be coated with anything and I wouldn't touch those parts unless...

@Ed D Good option for short riders. I'm quite happy with my Easy Motion Evo Street (bike is in Avatar) and have no plans to buy something else.

I will ride on the sidewalk if I determine the street I'm on is otherwise unsafe and a sidewalk is available and accessible. I have a class 2 ebike. I never use the throttle though, only PAS. I keep my speed pretty low when I do ride on the sidewalk. I of course prefer riding on the road...

Personally, I wanted an eBike I wouldn't need to change out parts. I'm not a bike mechanic and I have no intentions on becoming one. I looked for an ebike that would: 1. Fit me (a short female), and have a step-thru frame and 26" tires 2. Match my style of riding (more upright) 3. Match a...

If someone confronts you like that again, just tell them you are recovering from some medical thing and this is your "rehab." They can't very well get angry at someone who, say, has a heart condition, or had knee or hip surgery. You could also tell them you're trying to ditch your car and...
