    E-Bike rack and hitch possible on my car?

    My dealer wouldn’t install a 2” receiver hitch on Mazda CX5 as the manufactuer only offers a 1 1/4”. I went to an auto accessory company and had them install a Curt 2” receiver. I won’t be exceeding the weight limit even with two ebikes on the rack. I’m using a Hollywood rack for Two ebikes...

This fit the bill with the style, quality and price.They will be coming out with some accessories in the coming months, i.e., racks, fenders and a few other items. Friendly group of people. Answer...

    How to Prevent Flat Tires on Electric Bikes

    One of the LBS offers “Desert Proofing” tires. They install a liner, thicker thorn proof tube and put in tire sealant. Fairly cheap at about $35 per tire and they do all the work. Several people who have used the Tannus Armour said that it compresses over time and becomes very thin and longer...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I’m currently running tubes pre-charged with Slime. I puchased a couple bottles of Flat-Out to use next time around along with some thicker thorn proof tubes. I bought a couple of large 500CC Syringes (included about 2ft of tubing) from Amazon. I will just pour the correct amount in the syringe...

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I’m running 26x2.8 tires/tubes. I contacted Flat Out and was told to use 8 to 10oz. of product in each tire.

    Are Flat Out, Slime and Stans a scam?

    I think some LBS's will tell customers that so they will purchase the more expensive Tannus product along with the labor to install them. I'm sure they work for some people but after seeing how they flatten out over time it's no different than using a thicker thorn proof tube. One of my LBS...

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    Yes, I remember as a young teenager I rode a modified Schwinn Stingray. Bike licenses were a requirement. They actually had bike license plates. I think I paid for a license for one year and that was it. I put a "custom" plate on after that. I actually got pulled over several times over the...

I purchased my first ebike in January and took delivery in April. I did my research and chose my bike. It's...

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    At some point federal, state and local government entities will figure out they can generate additional revenue with the classification of ebikes, i.e., licenses, taxes, fees, insurance, etc.. Some other countries levy license and insurance requirements if an ebike is rated for a specific...
