    Looking for rear light suggestions

    I bought several cheap tail lights and they weren't that bright in daylight. I found the Cygolite Hotshot Pro at 150 lumens. Super bright and multiple flash modes along with steady on. Best one that I found.

    Handlebar bag reccomendation Turbo Vado (2021) with mount

    +1 on the Roadrunner Burrito Bags. I purchased the larger California Burrito Bag and it holds all of my repair kit, bike light and extra chain lock. Bought two more for my other ebikes. Rickshaw Bags makes several bike bags as well and various sizes (Bazooka Bag is a BIG bag).

    Caltrops

    Apparently someone is causing a dangerous situation at a popular biking area near me. They are placing / throwing 'caltrops' (small spikes) onto the bike lanes in an area near me that is very popular with bicyclists. This is in an area that I enjoy riding occasionally. These can cause serious...

    Hitch Rack

    From Rad Rover website the "5 weighs 65lbs. So technically, no that rack will not hold them. But.... you can remove the batteries to reduce the weight. Still, not sure how specific the rack is rated. I would think that they would hold a little more than spec'd but do you want to take a chance...

    Is a fold out Bke rack (hitch) worth the extra $$

    If you need access to the rear of an SUV or truck bed then yes a tilting rack is worthwhile. Have checked the Hollywood hitch racks?

    Plus Size Tires For Aurora Limited Edition

    Sorry to hear about the theft of your LE. I have two Soul Sonic Saber Pro Cruiser eBikes that have the 26x2.8 inch Vee Tire Co. Speedster tires. I was able to buy a spare set of the Speedster tires from Soul Fast E-Bikes. I also found one Innova 26x2.8 tire on eBay and snagged it. Would like to...

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    Paid big $ for a particular ebike with specific components from the seller. You did not receive what you paid for and what was advertised. You have the order and payment receipt. Good 'intensions' from the seller is not acceptable. A 2-3 week shipping time was given and it took 8 months to...

    Plus Size Tires For Aurora Limited Edition

    I contacted Evelo to order a pair of the Innova 26" x 2.8" tires (the brand and size that came on my Aurora LE). The replied that they were out of stock and would be for quite some time.

    Tucson, AZ, ban on ebikes riding the Loop

    You are talking about the government and politicians. Common sense does not apply. As far as the 'Loop' goes I think it's more of a 'who has more power/authority', i.e., city, county or state. Muscle flexing.

    Tucson, AZ, ban on ebikes riding the Loop

    It's been awhile since anyone has mentioned the Loop in Tucson. Several websites state that you can ride ebikes on the Loop. That is partially true. A radio station posted online that Arizona passed House Bill 2266 that states that electric bikes will be treated the same as a normal bicycle and...

    A lock for my new ebike

    I have the ABUS Bordo folding locks with the alarms. I installed additional motion alarms on the bikes. I also have a couple of the Tex Lock 2.0 with the larger X-Lock. Saw a couple of vids online of people defeating the various bike locks. The Tex Lock took awhile (over 4 minutes). Given enough...

    Looking for loop rides in the Southwest

    In AZ you can order a replacement plate for a small fee, i.e., $5. Mine even came with the current registration decal. Check your MVD website to see if you can order one.

    Tailbone soreness problem solved

    Thanks for posting that. Will be ordering one. I put Cloud 9 seats on my cruisers after reading/watching great reviews. However... they are not working out for me. Bigger, softer seats don't necessarily make for a more "comfortable" ride especially for "larger boned" people.
