    DUI also another reason to be killed while cycling... so always use your rearview mirror (I use the Bike Peddler Take A Look Cycling Eyeglass Mirror) to watch for erratic drivers... Costa Mesa fire captain dies 2 days after being struck by DUI suspect while cycling[/SIZE]...

    Yamaha answers Brose and Bosch’s new mid-drive e-bike motors with its own powerhouse

    I think the answer should be both. Haibike and others continue to use Yamaha motors and I expect to see these new drives in their 2020 lineup. IMO Yamaha makes some of the best and quietest mid drive motors out there and I can't wait to test drive them. Current Yamaha ebike Brands/Partners...

    Grin does it again. Regen 36v hub motor 28mph

    FWIW, my wife's Haibike Sduro Yamaha 36V 500W mid drive ebike, can easily do 28mph with twice the range as my 500W 48V hub drive ebike.

    Integrated brake light

    Correct. But the problem is not just the signals but how to use the signals to power a two tone drive/brake tail light. Some controllers have a build in relay that gets engaged when you hit the brakes. So in other words the tail light is powered by your battery the same as your headlight (could...

    Integrated brake light

    If your ebike has motor brake cutoff capability on its brakes (meaning two wires are coming out of each of your brakes), then your ebike already has that amazon part.

    Is there a 3rd party higher capacity battery that will fit the Rook/Colt???

    143 mile range out of the 10.4Ah battery???? If yes, that is 3x the 50mile range the company has as max which usually mean PAS 1, low weight rider and favorable terrain and weather conditions. So if the 143 mile range was with the 10.4Ah battery, well for a better word, that would be...

    Is there a 3rd party higher capacity battery that will fit the Rook/Colt???

    Are you still getting 112 mile range out of the 20.4Ah battery?? Since that is about 2x of the standard 10.4Ah battery, that would mean that you were getting about 55 mile range out of the 10.4Ah battery, and I find that hard to believe as it is more than the max range even the company states...

    Re-Sell Value of RadRover ?

    Actually the lol at the end was there to show that it was a joke. Nobody in their right mind would rent a bulldozer and go take out paved roads. I thought it was funny. BTW, the tax debate IMO starts and ends with a person that doesn't want to pay a tax even though he/she uses the services that...

    Re-Sell Value of RadRover ?

    Trying to "insult" you as you say was the last thing on my mind. I was just pointing out the fact that sales tax pay for a lot of things you use and take for granted and that you may miss if they went away. BTW, Amazon as you know was NOT paying sales tax and as their pie got bigger they put...

    I hate your ebike...

    I agree on the 500W motor limit. That is all I have and use and reaching a speed of 25 and 28mph is not a problem for those that want it (both the Aventon Pace 500 and Ride1up can do 28mph and 25mph respectively with their 500W motors). It will also mean all those with 750W motors will be made...

    I hate your ebike...

    I agree. And that is already happening in some places (enforcement and tickets) and as ebikes proliferate even more and you mix vastly different motorised speeds and different abilities, injuries are bound to increase and possibly deaths unfortunately. Add to that people are getting upset with...

    Re-Sell Value of RadRover ?

    I assume you will be using road infrastructure, right? You can think of that tax paying for that road infrastructure to improve or maintain that road infrastructure and give you reason to complain to them to come and repair the odd pothole. Otherwise you can you just rent a bulldozer and take...

    I hate your ebike...

    Then you will end up with 40+mph crazy ebikers using 20mph bike roads with deadly results. And that is why you need regulations for Class 1-class 3 ebikes.

    Bike alarm with remote, smartphone app a plus

    I hear you.... but from what I have seen, most of those smart locks have the battery indicator on the app. So if you use the app and see that the battery is low, you should have nobody to blame but yourself if you still decide to lock your bike and your battery goes dead. So I don't consider it...
