    Ah, so THAT'S what's holding me back!

    Aero things are fuzzy. birds' feathers, a moths' wings under a microscope, sharkskin in the water, a bumble bee. Most of that stuff in the video was shinny and less aero. Do not shave your legs if you want to go faster. Golf balls with dimples go farther that those that are smooth. A lightly...

    I would like a pnewmatic plunge saw overhead pruner. The heavy motor would stay on the ground and a light air hose would go up. The double sided blade would buzz into the wood. Just take a small wedge from the bottom then cut down from the top. Don't look for it, these do not exist.

    Good uses for walk mode

    The ladies in Quebec are lovely and totally comfortable in their natural femininity. They own their naturally grounded womanhood. They are free to be famine and be themselves. Makeup is non-extistant or very minimal, maybe some lip gloss. The beauty shines through and is not covered over with...

    I built out of box and sold a banana seat throttle bike today to a mom for her son. The family has 11 bikes and come from MTN bike culture. He will be riding it as transportation, will be safe, and will not be doing wheelies in public. It has quality components with a UL battery, and large...

    I was working at an electric bike store yesterday when a person walking by said to another, 'He fell off his electric bike'. What if he fell off his bike? Electric has nothing to do with it! I do agree that under 16 should not have throttles on bikes or scooters.

    Good uses for walk mode

    A half twist throttle's idea during initial visualization of the concept or in a showroom is more appealing than it is in the real world. When walking a bike, for example, to or through a glass door if that throttle is accidentally touched, it will fly high. Scary stuff. And it will fly more the...

    Good uses for walk mode

    It would be fun to hack. I would like it like this: Hold the Down for eight seconds, then toggle the Up to set the speed faster for just that one session of a walk or ride.

    Good uses for walk mode

    If something is not working right on a bike but walk mode works than it is not a bad controller. Peer check me on this with a strap of used tube: Walk mode works on lever cut-out bikes even when the brake is partially pulled. I have a bike today that is a no go. But walk assist works, so that...

    Brake squeal

    Sometimes brakes get some road dirt that gets baked in. I like to clean that off and re-bed them.

    I am willing to reevaluate based on what happens in the field over two years. I just do not want to be the Guinea pig.

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Over complexity sucks. A friend is getting one and wants me to unbox, assemble and tune it. The thing will break, then what? He breaks everything. Who will service this thing? Cool stats and Wow on paper and internet Buzz are different than real world reliability. I say keep the parts standard...

    Saltdeancyclist from Brighton UK. Hi! 10-year-old Kalkhoff

    I have put new batteries on older bikes for many years for people. If you post some photos that would help me in giving you viable options. Welcome Electric Bike Review! East Sucksex is lovely.

    There are plenty of Pen folks you will find here. Some were discussing a September gathering to ride the tunnels with Autumn leaves. Were you impacted by the derailment? I hope you are okay. I am on the left coast and in the electric bike industry. I work part-time helping at an all electric...

    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    I cycle for transportation. At 12 mph I can go two miles in ten minutes or three in fifteen. Anything I need is within 15 minutes. Two and one-half hours of ride time of a typical battery is overkill for my daily needs. Occasionally I will ride that long recreationally. But(t) at some point each...
