My primary disappointment with my two 2016 Radrover fat tire ebikes was having to replace the controller 3X between both ebikes the first year. I purchased a 2023 Radcity Step-thru last summer and had to replace the controller after 7 miles on the ebike. No local Rad ebike support in NM, the...

I invested in ebikes to improve my health. My riding was restricted with my pedal bike in extreme conditions like freezing temps, triple digit degree F heat, or 15-25 mph windy days. Only rain/snow/ice/laziness keeps me off my ebike. We did a trip to Sedona, AZ, back in 2016 after spending...

I think I would lean toward to "I rather have it and not need it, compared to need it and not have it". I like a tq sensor mid-drive+throttle with the max tq and max battery size within my budget. Long term battery life can be reduced with more charge cycles. You can have less long-term...

I'm think along the lines of "all saddles are seats; but, not all seats are saddles". A see a saddle as a specialized seat that can provide advantages to the rider mounted in the straddled position (grew up in the 70s riding bikes with banana seats). I might be the exception; but, I have more...

Merriam-Webster definition of a saddle is a seat that a rider straddles. I would straddle something like a motorbike, (e)bike, reverse facing chair, or riding animal. You might have to contact Merriam-Webster and have them update the definition to include support for hands and feet? I don't...

Pretty much every office chair, airline seat, vehicle, home furniture, workout bench, stump in the woods, etc... is usually used in an upright sitting position with zero numb hands? I only get numb hands riding (e)bikes if I lean forward too much on extended rides (numb hands w/ sometimes...

I had a similar issue with discomfort on longer rides with the OEM saddle with my hard tail fat tire ebike. I switched to Sunlite Cloud-9 11"X10"X8" cruiser seat. Big improvement because I'm spreading my weight across my buttocks instead of feeling like I'm riding a 2X4 plank on a jack hammer...

I did a quick search for the Kilimanjaro Hitch Mounted E-Bike rack for a manufacturer's website and any YouTube reviews and couldn't find anything. This rack might be too new for long term reliability reviews, replacement parts, and options for upgrades?

Work smarter, not harder!

I've been using Stans with tubes since 2014 with 700X40C tire, 26X4, 26X2.3, and 26X4.8 tires all with tubes. It works for me in my riding environment in the southwest with cactus plants and goat heads. Slime for tubes would probably work just as well; but, I've tried Stans on the suggestion...

I purchase Stans in box with 2 oz bottle. I add Stans to the inner tube of my two Radrovers, two Radcity step thru, and my Himiway Cobra Pro. I have a valve stem remover to make it easier to add Stans in the tube. No problems all four seasons with Stans or feel/hear any of the sealant inside...

That just might be the differences between a $35 swift 500 light compared a $250- $450 Enduro Pro 1800-4200lm lights.

The Rio Grande trails are very nice with several easy access points for walkers, joggers, (e)bikes, wheelchair, and horse riders. Just give horse riders the right away and slow down or even stop to let them pass. Don't want to spook a horse and have it throw the rider. I've seen more people...

I've been riding the Rio Grande river Bosque paved, double-wide dirt, and single track trails since 2014. I've rode the bike paths down past Rio Bravo Blvd, behind Bosque School off Coors/Montano Blvd, west/east on the Paso Del Norte paved bike paths towards Balloon Biesta Park or south toward...

Flats are a pain when they happen. I started out with always taking my bikes to LBS for repairs at first; but, eventually started fixing my flats on my own. Saved me a lot time and money to get me back on the road faster doing my own repairs.

Congrats on the new Himiway! I purchased a Cobra Pro last fall with Tannus inserts. They do add a little weight to the tires and I feel more tq steer with under 20 psi with my 4.8" fat tires. I had to up the psi to 30 to eliminate the front wheel tq steer. May not be an issue with your...

I use Stan's tire sealant (two 2 oz bottles per fat tire inside the tube). Zero issues with Stans plugging up the Schrader Valves and no issues with the sealant working with single to triple digit temps. I sometimes need to add a 2 oz bottle every 3-6 month because of the amount of goat head...

I like the helmet mirror because I do a mix of "share the road" bike lanes down to single track. Helmet mirror works best for me in twisty trails/road, easier to adjust my head for vehicle HID/LED headlights behind me, tight narrow single track trails with brush that would knock off handlebar...

I usually keep gear and tools in my Topeak MTX DTP 22.6L rack bag that help gets me home for most common issues; which, is flat repair stuff: - spare tube (when Mr. Tuffy or Tannus Armour and tire sealant doesn't work) - Stans tire sealant in 2 oz bottles - battery air pump (Fannttik X8 150psi...

Are there any other Himiway mid-drive models on the floor or ebike dealers that have a mid-drive you can test ride? Cleaning and lubricating of the chain will be no different for a mid-drive or rear hub if you are riding either in exact same conditions. Do you clean/lube the chain mounted on...
