Some of us have physical limitations where our desired rides require motor assist. Others of us what to ride distances or climb hills that necessitate a motor. I'm wondering how many of you ride your ebike in ways and on rides that you would be perfectly capable of riding on an analog bike...

Check bikeflights.com. reasonable prices, very clear on their process. It isnt that difficult!

This is exactly why I didnt buy from a local dealer. Although there are many good ones, I hear too many of these 'SOL' stories.

I'm a SoCal-er and have done some riding in north San Diego. Didnt see many bikers along the 101 thru Encinitas and Solana Beach, but a lot along Del Dios Highway. They ride in big packs of 50 year old doctors, dentists and lawyers, and they often ride two to three abreast. Isnt there a law...

Ok, I'm confused. JRA said in the post previous to yours, something a lot of people say. A fatter tire on the back wheel is a good idea for increased traction for peddling uphill and for increased plushness to make up for the lack of a rear suspension. The front tire on the other hand, should...

Hi Crazy Lenny. How's Cindy doing? She gave me great service!

I like your comment about insurance. I'm going to call my adj Not safe, locked or not? I guess I'm kinda like you....SoCal burbs. I've met people who had their thin cable locks cut through when they left a bike somewhere dicey, overnight and have seen bikes with a tire or seat swiped when...

AM I STUPID? I live in high crime SoCal and have a $4k emtb. I use a foldylock compact and mount to bike racks. I figure if they want my bike bad enough to break that, a u-lock or another cable isnt going to stop them. How foolish am I being?

I'm a little shocked by your comment, mainly because you're not the only one telling me that the ranges I'm getting are 'normal'. I am getting 6 miles of range (mostly climbing) on the highest (boost) level and 8 miles of range on the mid level assist (sport). After that, I'm on my own...

None. I have a fear, maybe irrationally, of bringing my ebike near the sand. Thoughts of all the horrible things it might do, not to mention the cleaning headaches. I used to work in PB years ago. I'd see these young girls, obviously not adept cyclists, riding rental beach cruisers down...

Another vote for the brose being far superior. I bought a BH ebike online. There are (were) 3 BH dealers here in my SoCal neighborhood. The 1st one went out of business. The 2nd one turned out to be jerks. The 3rd one, who I happily use, ended their relationship with BH. So where does...

Some hilarious wit there!

Helmet wearer here. When I first started mountain biking, my parents were dead set against it. They made your exact same arguments. Such risky behavior, and for what? My future injuries shouldnt be pushing up the cost of pooled health insurance. You could make a similar argument from a...

I'm confused

Oh, I get it. The sensor is geared for a certain wheel circumference. That makes sense!

Th Think about a skateboard wheel. How far would it go in 10 rotations? Then think about a car tire. Wouldn't that travel farther on the same 10 rotations? If rotations equal speed....

So I've tried a few cheapo seat suspensions and I now think that your opinion is pretty fair and well said. I haven't tried any high end seatposts yet, but would agree that most of the cheap ones aren't much better than a 2.6" rear tire with 19psi. In addition, the posts add a bunch of...

Hi silver. Found a way that might get you just a tad closer to the 28mph. Unscrew the sensor on your rear tire spoke and try moving it out (towards the tire) by 2 inches. If the display errors out, then that was too much, so make it 1.5 inches and so on. For me, I was able to move it 2...

Yes, they will. I lived in Madrid 2 years ago. In Pozuelo, in an American expat complex (urbanizacison). Several other expats had ebikes and the ones that looked beefy were pulled over by the policia. Funny, I could violate just about every traffic law while driving a rental car, and was...

Seriously. Comes off as petty.
