    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    Hi and thank you my friend. That light is available online at Larsen Electronics. It's pretty cheap but it's very bright and noticeable. It runs on AA batteries. It has 3 modes; steady on, rapid blink and blink variation. I would love it if I could get it to act like a brake light and like an...

    26 miler today on the North County Trail. That seems to be max range for both bikes btw, at least it was today. These pics are on the New Croton Reservoir Bridge.

    Riding an e-bike in "no-assist" mode - how heavy is ok?

    Hi Andrea. These bikes are heavy. I ride a Voltbike with fat tires and I couldn't pedal it a block on the flat without the motor assist. Although at the lowest level it feels like a regular bike. The fat tires allow very little coasting in my experience. I also ride a Surface Colt with 2 inch...

    Micargi Ebike

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with this bike: http://www.micargibicycles.com/cyclone/ It may be a recent release, I'm not sure. I think it certainly does have a look about it. Any facts or opinions appreciated.

    Standup rack for a pickup.

    Just an update. Went for a trailride today with my son and both bikes in the new rack. With the use of the separator rods the bikes felt like they were part of the truck. No wobbling or shifting around. The tailgate firmly up against both rear wheels, the front wheels cinched into the rack...

    Bike comparison...Yukon 750 and Surface 604 Colt.

    Hey Denis. 3 reasons. I work a lot so I decided to spoil myself a bit this summer. Secondly my SO is having a hell of a time trying to ride with me on a non powered bike, so it was in some way a gift of sorts and finally to be completely honest, I am having a ton of fun being 12 again lol. My...

    Bike comparison...Yukon 750 and Surface 604 Colt.

    Hey everyone. Just want to start off by saying: I am not an expert on any of this. Just started riding this season after a 30 year hiatus so I am just happy to be back up on 2 wheels again. I have been riding the Yukon since Memorial Day and I still haven't put 100 mikes on that yet. Close...

    Interchangeable batteries

    Hey @SuperGoop. The Colt has arrived! The batteries are not the same size. Just FYI. I think I'm going to love this bike also, a nice contrast to the Yuke.

    Throttle vs. Pedal Assist

    Hey Cal. I'm still pretty new to these bikes myself. For me, on a long ride early in the trip, I hardly use the throttle at all. I also use the lowest level of pedal assist to conserve battery and I actually really like to pedal. Later in the day on the ride back when I am fatiguing I lean on...

    Standup rack for a pickup.

    Hey Denis, glad you like my rig there:) That tail light is available at Larson electronics online. It is powered by AA batteries. It stays on steady red or seizure inducing flashes. It is also cheap. http://www.larsonelectronics.com/p-635-.aspx Somebody on the trail told me that if he rear...

    Standup rack for a pickup.

    I searched online and found several different DIY setups. This is what I went with. Space enough for 2 Bikes, the Yukon and the Colt that is enroute. Total cost $70 including paint. (Link Removed - Attachment No Longer Exists) (Link Removed - Attachment No Longer Exists)
