Just for the record, a lot of people like living in California, me for one. I won't be moving anytime soon. I like the all year MC (and e-bike) riding the weather allows me and also my proximity to the Pacific ocean, the SoCal high desert, and the Sierras, all within a few hours of each other...

I know that one, it's happened to me 3 or 4 times over the years. One time the venom must have got into my carotid artery and it went straight to my head. I was red in the face and very dizzy, but after about 20 minutes I was okay except for a sore area at the site of impact. Another time one...

Rad took more than a week sometimes to get back to me via email. I figured they were either overworked or understaffed, so I wrote them off pretty early in my ebike researching. I've since read of product quality problems with the Rad Mission, so maybe I made a good choice crossing them off my...

I think it would be a PIA schlepping it along on BART and a bus. I would consider a little motor-scooter, Chinese, Japanese, S Korean, Italian manufactures. All prices from inexpensive to high dollar, like ebikes. Huge storage on them usually and easy to ride. Available from 50cc all the way...

I'm new to everything e-bike, but I'm surprised that the motor isn't thermally protected. But perhaps not.

Sure it does, I lift weights, kayak, hike, ride the E-bike and motorcycles. It all adds up to equal better physical condition. I've always cross-trained, even before it was a thing.

100 F in SoCal today, north of LA about 100 miles. A definite cooling trend.😎

I was out for about 45 minutes this afternoon. It's getting toasty.

Yeah, mostly a damp rag, for greasy bits, a mild degreaser on a rag, then on the bike, maybe followed with a water dampened rag to rinse a bit. I don't even hose down my motorcycles. I clean them the same way, with the exception of the wheels. They get mild soap and water and carefully rinsed...

I wanted an "electrified" vehicle of some sort that would not require DMV registration or any insurance for errands around town as well as for fun riding at the beach. I did not buy it to go fast, when I want to go fast on two wheels I get on one of my motorbikes. Not really for exercise...

I've been in SoCal always, and I'm well acclimated to the weather here, in fact I'm chilly if it's much under 65 F, so I think nothing of being out in the noon day sun. I don't do cold weather very well at all. The highs here are forecast to be in the low 100's F by tomorrow. That sounds good...

At a good hardware store you should be able to easily match the fastener head style, diameter, length and thread pitch. I do it all the time for my motorcycle hobby. Only very seldom do I need to get the official OEM fastener. The last time I bought a OEM bolt, it was one of my Suzuki motor...

My helmet has an adjustable ratcheting system to fine tune the fit for big or small hair days. I wish my motorcycle helmets could adjust somehow as well.

I had a flat tire almost immediately after getting my new e bike. I t didn't take me long to figure a I needed a way of working on the bike, sometimes with it upside down. I made a couple of "V" blocks to fit under the grips to keep the display and controls safe. A cheapo bike stand I guess.

And more friendly people wouldn't hurt either.

Bands I like. The Doors of course, Elton John, (if that's a rock band?), America, (remember them?), Steely Dan. Honorable mention: Joe Cocker. Canned Heat. Lou Reed. I'm probably in the minority here, but two bands I really don't like are the Beatles and the Stones, the real early Beatles...

I've been riding MC's on the street for all my adult years (and still do), and just recently got on an ebike. I find the e bike pretty scary on any roads that don't offer a shoulder to ride on, between inattentive drivers and some that just plain don't like sharing the road, I feel a lot safer...
