    Ebike Hitch Rack Recommendation

    The Hollywood Destination E looks like a take on the Thule Easyfold XT. Though the Destination E states that it will hold ebikes up to 50 inch wheelbase. I had the Thule Easyfold XT 2 which they state will hold up to 51 inch wheelbase and it would not support my ebikes with 51inch wheelbase (not...

    These bikes are too powerful!

    Turn off PAS and pedal normally. When your knees start aching turn on the PAS.

    How fast is too fast for you?

    Majority of the time I ride at around 12 to 14mph. Occasionally I will ride 16 to 20 mph for a brief period. When I have the road all to myself, once in awhile I will see how fast I can get up to. So far the fastest speed I obtained was 32 mph but just for a brief period as that's pretty damn...

    Step through?

    I'm currently riding large beach style bike and with two newer knees it is a little bit of a hassle to swing the leg over the bike (legs don't have the same 'maneuverabilty' as before the replacements. I went ahead and bought a step-through for when it gets to be too much to swing the legs over...

    Expected that rear tire swings out in glop?

    Which model of Innova tires do you have and where did you find them? I have Innova 26x2.8 's on one of my bikes but cannot find a source for them. They look like street tires and they work quite well. The bike company I bought the bike from doesn't have any in stock to buy.

    Not riding again until I install mirrors

    I find that mirrors on my bikes are a necessity. Majority of the time on streets I'm in a bike lane and I want to be able to see if there is traffic coming or if there are vehicles on my left and if someone is driving into the bike lane. Before the mirrors I would turn my head to look back and...

    Which E Bike Carrier Should I Consider?

    Measure the wheelbase of your ebike/ebikes before shopping for a rack. I purchased a Thule EasyFold XT 2 before I actually picked up my new ebike. The ebike would not fit on the rack because of the long wheelbase. Sold the Thule at a loss and purchased a different rack that fit the ebikes. Also...

    How many ebikes do you have?

    I like them a LOT. Great bikes so far. I've owned the red Sonic for a bit over a year and the blue one for about 8 months. No issues. I'm a big guy and have no problems getting up to the max speed. They are big bikes though (they sell them with 24" wheels as well). I don't have any problems...

    Thannus Armour size for Ultimate 380

    Just shoot Tannus an email with your question. They will get back to you pretty quick with an answer. That's what I did. You can also buy the correct Tannus inserts with the correct size (smaller) tubes that you will also need from them.

    Abus Chain Lock Transportation

    Plenty of handlebar bags are available. I'm currently using the California Burrito Bag on all of my ebikes to carry my "kit" plus bike light and ABUS chain lock.

    Clamping onto a workstand

    Because of the tilting issue I clamp onto the top tube. Difficult to get clamped because of the weight of the ebike but I can keep the bike level when working on it.
