    @Stefan Mikes - for what it is worth, due to the power of the Hydra and the squishy definition of what class it is in, I decided to take the California Motorcycle Safety Class to help me get my M1 certificate to my drivers license. And I strongly urge others with a greater than Class 3 but less...

    Hi @Stefan Mikes - I prefer bikes. This scooter is for short transports and a hold-over for a modern ebike. I have MANY bikes and am hopelessly addicted to them all…. If the scooter is stolen, no heartbreak; not same for my soon to come Hydra!! But I installed an Apple AirTag inside the box as...

    Hi folks, Well seller is a sleaze. He kept toying me with broken promises of help to the point beyond his posted return policy. His provider went off line and zero contact in over a week despite continued emails for help… I gave up the eBay return and accepted the sellers bribe!!! STAY FAR...

    Thank you gents, but as you can see from my last posted stats, 25mph is all I ever want to try. Goal is to make it calmer else Mode 2 Dual/Eco is all I will do (25mph or 32kph). Mode 2 Dual/turbo gets up to 35mph (48kph) on flat and is a nice power boost to get up hills…. At least I’m not...

    You can buy a controller. There is a guy in Utah that might have parts. I don’t think @kauaikit has any 24V parts… -BB Look for Electric Wheels of Utah if the below doesn’t work…. https://www.facebook.com/moparmark70/

    @Stefan Mikes - thanks for your concern. The car door was a typical busy intersection where the windows were so tinted, I didn’t see the situation until it was way too late. Also not sure I have my lights on. I have had far more bike accidents!!! Scabs have completely healed and I have done...

    @kauaikit - I completely forgot to give feedback on the “N” versus “E” button. Wow does that ever give a boost (3-4mph boost). Thank you for spotting that error from the photos! I have not been riding her lately as it has been either too hot or too smoky. But the odometer has over 400 miles...

    @Handlebars - D30 protectors? Tell me more please!!!! @Explorer-1 - WTF is EUC? 🤪 I love taking this thing to the store for the evening meals and nightly training. The remote fob/key will kill the power and fire up the alarms if toyed with. I did purchase a U-lock but P-town is really tame…...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    @PDoz - no hard shell, just Kevlar. Kevlar (IMHO!) is as tough and abrasive as the pavement I hit. Thus a cotton layer “under” to reduce the friction and thus less of a “rug burn!”…. Not sure about the progressive hardening, but my wife could see the pads waffle pattern in my elbow scrape…. -BB

    eMTB Options For 2024

    @Haystacks - The 3df 6.0 elbow pads look nice and similar to the 7iDP ones I got. The issue is not the pad protection but the abrasion you will get when you fall with these warming sleeve like pads. I still suggest wearing them over a cotton long sleeve sweatshirt… Or learn the benefits of...

    How to start on a steep hill

    @Johnny , @Merle Nelson is almost correct. The California law states where any analog bike is allowed, a Class 1 is allowed. There are ADA folks requesting this get extended to Class 2 (throttle) and IMHO it makes sense. The forum has posts on this. So if this happens to you, and you have a...

    Excellent questions @Haystacks, thank you for reminding me! Well the 7iDP helmet went back as soon as it arrived. It crushed my 63cm skull. Sent Smith Optics another request for a XL Mainline (full face) as the Smith helmets are the ONLY ones to fit my melon head. They said a year out…. (Use...

    Sorry for a lack in updates. Lots of things happened. So let’s get on with the latest adventures… Well the first stop was opening the battery compartment to see if I could fix the display. You can see the photos below show a real (?) Panasonic battery 16s5p and 25Ah. So 5A cells, something is...
