    Indicator lights on e bike

    CYCL Winglights are mounted on the ends of the handlbars. That's as far apart as you will get them on any given bike. From CYCL website. They have fixed and magnetic versions available.

    Big Hello

    A good U-Lock or Folding lock. You might consider adding a motion alarm. Park close to an entrance or where you can actually see your bikes. Really depends if where you park them is a high crime area or not. Generally I do not leave my bikes out of sight for long periods of time. When not riding...

    How do you secure your bike?

    Supposed to be riding it not parking it ;). I usually don't leave my bike where I can't see it or it will be where there is a lot of foot traffic so that if someone tried to steal it, it would be obvious. For going into a store for a quick purchase I don't think a thief would have enough time to...

    How do you secure your bike?

    If someone forced the bike, i.e., tried to roll it away, I would worry about damage to the rotor. Better than having the bike stolen but still...

    How do you secure your bike?

    On their Kickstarter page and on a couple of review sites ($349). Personally from what I've seen and read, I think this lock would be a great theft deterrent for my ebikes. I don't leave my bikes outdoors overnight or for any extended period of time. It's supposed to be available around March of...

    How do you secure your bike?

    That Hiplok D1000 looks impressive. So is the price @ $350. But I guess if you really want to protect your bike…

    Old Timer Cruisin’

    I liked the red one so much I decided I needed a 2nd one for a backup :) I added an insulated bottle holder, a Cloud 9 seat, Ergon grips, accessory bar, ABUS Bordo 6000 Alarmed lock and a Road Runner California Burrito Handlebar Bag.

    First Accident Avoided - Front/Rear Camera

    Agree with having front and rear lights. I have them on both of my ebikes. Flashing during daylight. Lowlight I have the front on solid and rear flashing.

    26" X 2.8" Tires

    Thanks! I contacted the bike makers and was informed that the smallest I can go is 26x2.4. Those Super Moto-X tires might be the ticket.

    26" X 2.8" Tires

    I have two large cruiser style bikes. They have Vee Speedster 26 X 2.8 tires. These tires are for mainly used for pavement and hardpack. I also have a new bike coming which also has the same size tires but a different brand. The Vee Speedster tires are next to impossible to find and I cannot...

    EVELO Black Friday 2021

    I've been looking at the ALE reviews and various forums. I already have 2 cool cruiser style ebikes (Soul Saber Pros), but I foresee at sometime I might have issues swinging my leg over these big bikes. Looking at the different step through models and options, I wanted a mid-drive with Gates...

    Aurora Limited tire protection

    A LBS offers a service here called “Desert Proofing”. I think it applies everywhere. They install a liner, thicker tube and tire sealant. You can do this yourself. They charge $35-$40 per tire (and perform the labor), it’s not a bad upgrade to improve the puncture resistance and give one more...

    Fat Tire Bike Hitch Racks

    Just tilt the bike down a little to clear the other bike's handlebars. It's being supported by the ramp. I'm using the Hollywood Sport Rider Rack for ebikes.

    top picks of ebikes by type

    I find most lists of “best ebikes” to be useless. They are just someone else’s personal view of what’s “best”. I do enjoy reading and watching various reviews of ebikes but only in the types that interest ’me. As from a post from above, don’t get “Butt Hurt” because your ebike isn’t mentioned in...

    How do you secure your bike?

    Generally, I just ride my ebikes roundtrip. But occasionally I might stop for a drink or light bite to eat. I park the bike where I can see it and/or other people are around that can see it. I use an ABUS folding lock with and alarm for the frame and a smaller ABUS chain lock for the front...

    Supply Problems/eBike Prices

    I talked to one of the technicians at the store/shop and along with the increased shipping container costs, long lead times and component availability, is the issue of getting them trucked in to their facility. Not enough trucks. The normal supply chain he used for getting his products delivered...
