    Folding Rear Bike Baskets

    I use a shipping tote as a rear basket. I can lock the lids to keep my gear safe. I did have to lengthen my rear rack. To lenghten the rack I used a 2x4.

    Battery replacement 2015 Raleigh Tekoa

    I was able to make it work. The battery matters! You need to get a batter that looks the ones on Page 1. I got my battery from Amazon. On my bike I had 4 wires, black, red, white and blue. I connected the black to black and red to red. There were no blue or white coming from the battery...

    Thank you for your input. Thanks. I will be making sure that the bike's weight is still in the rack's weight tolerance. Good point.

    Thank you for all of your input. It is greatly appreciated. My issue is whether to select a bike that is easier to repair a flat tire or a bike that will be easier to replace the battery after the battery is no longer able to hold a charge.

    Because of age, I need to get a step-thru/step through bicycle. I currently have a Raleigh 2015 Tekoa with the replaced battery. I love this bike, in fact it has spoiled me. I ride on easy mountain bike trails, but mostly greenways. I have two major issues with all e-bikes. The first is the...
