    New Aventon Abound 'SR' Short Rack, Cargo

    A new Abound cargo bike just came in today. It is sweet to ride, and offers features such as an electronic locking double kickstand. I would stay away from all the networked wizbangs. It carries 147 pounds on the rear. It is sleek and modern. I built if an rode one. It is a Turn Haul killer at...

    Right To Repair/Modify, Who Owns Your Bike?

    Specialized requires dealer updates of firmware. With One Wheel you cannot change a tire without voiding the product. It all needs to be sent to Santa Cruz for service and that takes weeks to fix a flat. A while ago everyone in Canada had their bikes-down graded via cell towers for one brand at...

    Right To Repair/Modify, Who Owns Your Bike?

    Repairing your electronic device just got a little easier thanks to a seemingly unexpected source: The Library of Congress. In a ruling that took effect on Oct. 28, the Librarian of Congress gave consumers more freedom to repair their devices by granting them the right to legally circumvent...

    Good uses for walk mode

    Off topic. This is what I am listening to right now. It blows me away. By the way the Boom Boom Room in St. Luis streaming radio will make any work day go by 30% faster than anything else. That is what the Dr. ordered. John Williams was so good. Put this on while doing something else tedious...

    Good uses for walk mode

    A lot depends on weather it is a hub or mid. With a mid-drive walk assist speed depends on the gear selection. For a hub-drive it does not matter.

    19.5 mph top speed

    Just get a Talaria and un-restrict it using the pass code when you log into their site and fill the off-road disclaimer. Come to Petaluma, CA in person to test one, then I will sell you one or three in person. My latest custom built, finished today is mid-drive that does 45 kph with 90Nm on a...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    Thanks for asking. The bike store is in the alternate CA and is called Petaluma Motor Wheel. It has an online presence. But only sells to locals. That is what sets the place apart, the same price as online with local pro build set-up, service, and free follow-up. I have my batteries custom made...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    Yes, today I test rode a Surley Straggler that I converted with a ToSeven DMO2. I finished chopping off extra wire lengths today, soldering and sealing them to clean it up, and did the through display programing. I have owned BBS02's, an HD Bafang, and a bunch of TSDZ2's of all sorts. I am also...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    @metanewbie, Your drivetrain will work. The default chainring is 42. If you were my brother I would say to stay away from used scooter batteries because of the fire hazard. A fire is expensive. Here are some things I look for in a battery. 1) On/Off switch. 2) USB port. 3) Ease of mounting. 4)...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    My latest ToSeven build is almost done. I will show photos Friday night. I just need to chop down some wire lengths to make it clean. It is my nicest build so far. I have been working at an all electric bike shop 50 hours per week since May and have not have time for many conversions. If you...

    Inner tube sealant

    I blast it, then use a Q-tip and then some silicone grease.

    Inner tube sealant

    A collogue today said, 'Fill it with N0X, that way if you crash, with a flat and then have a dental issue, you can just huff the tube'.

    Terminator liquid nitrogen scene, all in your bike tire!

    Inner tube sealant

    Ideally I would use nitrogen gas. It is inert. Helium would lessen the weight of the bike so it could fly! Actually the smaller molecules out-gas fast. Dense ones work better as @fooferdoggie suggests. Maybe fill them with propane. What could go wrong?

    Velotric Summit 1 - My first 1000 Miles

    I like the ergonomics of that throttle. It is the best. I am not a throttle person but most are either twist (dangerous) or uncomfortable with a downward thumb. The thumb-In position is much better. Why is twist a danger? If you are walking the bike through a gate or glass door and accidently...
