    Life is weird sometimes, a good Captain always tries to keep his Ship well off the Rocks therefore I would approach the situation as follows. First off, no flipping the Bird, showing the Finger or hurtful words, don't aggravate a situation. *Next few times you ride there try to get a picture of...

    My hearing is also not what it used to be but because of many years in my work I am trying to be always very aware of my surroundings. Last month I had to ride my eBike for over 20 Km on paved Road up north where Redneck PU Drivers regularly passed me at high speed and often uncomfortable...

    cleaning my eBike

    OK here I am again and just a little wiser. Had a little time to enjoy my Shop and since my eBike has a now almost Brand-new Rear-wheel with new Hub-motor working well, I could not wait any longer to see if I could find out if the defective Hub-motor could be fixed. Watching the excellent utube...

    eBike Hub Drive developed without warning a bad sound.

    Today I went out wanting to go (like the last 5 Days) on my regular circuit, about 25km hardpacked Gravel Road followed by another 27 KM pavement to get home.

    Whom pays for your charge ?

    Many eBikers are Homeowners and as such just plug in at home and forget about the cost. However, many others, perhaps the majority of eBikes Owners reside in Rental Accomodation. If the pay for there own Electricity Bill fine but what about the ones where Electricity is included in their...

    Buying an Ebike for my commute to and from work to tackle a large gradient hill.

    Well I don't know much about eBikes, bought mine new via Amazon Last Spring on whim. Well I guess I got Lucky, I love this Bike it definitely works for me. The only mayor drawback I found so far is, if I leave it alone I am sure it gets stolen Pronto. So when I go to the Swimming Pool early in...

    Can someone explain to me e-bike maintenance

    There is a beautifull Bike Trail like a 40 Km round trip but the Trail is hardpacked Gravel which is quite Dusty during these hot Days depositing lots of Grit on the Chain. To do preventive Maintenance I clean the Chain after 4 to 500 Km, wash/Brush the Chain in a Gasoline Bath while I rotate...
