    Shipping Lies, be prepared

    I bought a factory direct bike in April of this year, but before I purchased it, I emailed and specifically and asked the seller where it was in stock and where it would ship from? As in what country? The bike was in California and shipped from there, and I received it in about 5 days via...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I think it works, I was getting a flat it seemed weekly from those goat-head stickers, so the last tube I installed, was a tube pre loaded a with slime sealant. So far months later, still no flats, and no problem adding air. The instructions say to add air, have the valve in the 10 or 2 o'clock...

    Buying first electric bike

    And, I've always assumed an integrated battery is proprietary to a specific bike and manufacturer, so a replacement might be only through them and you will have to pay what they ask. I would check on that before you buy at least. cheers.

    Chain lube?

    I use Maxima chain wax on my motorbike chains, and like it because it works well, dries clear, and doesn't fling off. So I found a bicycle chain specific chain wax as well. So for the results are good. The only negative with chain wax is, it needs to be reapplied more often, but better that...

    Helmet without straps?

    Helmets are a safety device, part of the device are straps to keep it on your melon. There is no way around that. I think you're having a fitment issue, not a strap issue.

    Do I need a full face motorcycle helmet?

    I've been wearing full face helmets on motorcycles for so many years i don't want to count them. If you've ever seen a face plant with anything less than a full coverage helmet, it will make a believer out of you. My e bike rides are so sedate, i just wear a traditional biking lid, but if i...

    $1500 price range bikes

    On inexpensive, Chinese bikes you want to stay away from ones that use proprietary parts. If you need parts and the are "off the shelf", they are easy to source from all the usual Internet vendor sites. That's my take on low buck bikes at least. Happy searching.

    It's here

    No, not a new bike, but the smoke from the Northern California fires, now it's made it's way into SoCal. I was going for a ride today and when I looked at the air quality I thought better of it. The AQI is 156. Yuk!

    Should it be legal for kids to ride ebikes?

    At the risk of sounding like an old geezer, we had no computers, 13 OTA channels on TV and the stations went off at night. No fast food to speak of, McDonald's was just becoming a thing at the time. We played football in the street and pedaled our stingray bikes everywhere we wanted to go. No...

    Radrunner 1 absolute tripe and company also beware

    I know, just from my own experience with Rad, when I was looking for an e bike in April of this year, Rad couldn't answer basic product and availability questions in a timely manner. Usually the order side of a company is johnny on the spot to answer questions so you will hit the buy button...

    Radrunner 1 absolute tripe and company also beware

    That's a bad story, sorry to hear about your troubles, but since there is warranty left I would keep contacting Rad to come up with a solution. I would think they would help, I certainly hope so. Keep trying with them. Good luck.

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    I've been riding motorcycles here in California for a long time, when I was first licensed helmets weren't required by law. I wore one anyway. On a motorcycle at 70 mph, not only will a helmet greatly reduce the chance of a serious head injury, but it's far more comfortable, along with ear...
