It’s heavy. XXL is about 4 lbs 4 oz. About a pound heavier than the lighter weight modulars.

I bought an LS2 modular helmet for a motorcycle I just picked up. It is nice as you can wear it as a full face or half face with the visor down, also there is a sun visor that comes down so you can look like an aviator. I like this type helmet much more than a std full face style. You can...

Guessing the 50t chainring compensates for the 20” wheels. Think I’d want the throttle too.

First I’ve heard of the globe motor. Haul 400# for 60 miles with a 50t chainring. Bet it’s fast.

That was just an example, not cast in stone.

I came across an interesting discussion on motorcycle drive chain and gearing that could relate to the ebike world. The idea is that the number of gear teeth and chain link matches per revolution should be kept to a minimum to reduce chain wear. This wouldn't work with the cassette as the...

That’s funny, registration and insurance required here, but no helmet.

This town requires registration and insurance for mopeds and scooters.

Spec coolcaves showed up today. Not a bad deal for $60 ea. The fasteners slide in and out for fitment so they fit both the Como and Vado, unfortunately not the motorcycle with larger dia bars. I think if I was to carry something on my side or back I would want a soft bag pannier. Only...

I just saw yesterday Honda is coming out with a XR150L for $3k and should be at dealers in a month, should be 100+ mpg. That would be a nice ride. Also discovered anything above about 55-60 mph wind could use a fairing or wind jammer so for me larger motorcycles without a fairing would be...

For instance, here are some panniers that also double as back packs. First one top right anyway. https://procycle.us/category/luggage

And you can shop motorcycle panniers, lots of choices there and good materials.

Coolcaves just shipped today, should be here end of week. In the pics looks like there is a net with hooks for the top. Sounds like you want a hard pannier with lockable lid, or a pannier that doubles as a back pack or carry bag.

I watch the fortnine videos also. Haven’t seen the one you described. Some of those bikes are tall. I’m 6’1” and throwing s leg over some is pretty tough. This probably confirms anything on two wheels is fun.

I sat on all the Honda minimotos before I bought Suzuki DR650. For the money the Navi is hard to beat.

Was doing a little shopping and found these panniers from Specialized. I remember a while back someone mentioning Spec was going to sell these or something or other. Well here they are, on sale. May be they won't be carrying them in the future. Looks like they will fit a grocery sack. Two...

Bought a motorcycle and was investigating chain maintenance. The expected life of a chain/sprocket is 20-30k miles. Something like that would be the lifetime of an ebike. Maybe someday...

I had a ‘94 cbr900 bought new. That was a fast scooter! I always consider tax and license requirements. Mopeds and scooters require insurance and registration. Only free ride I’ve come up with is the ebike.

I hope these batteries aren't something that become hard to find in the years ahead. I'm not sure if the bike operates without the display battery.

I got the low bat message the other day. The local wally world is out of the 1220's. Didn't even have a place for them.
