Howdy from the 505! I've been an ebike rider since 2016 in ABQ (Radrover and Radcity). Unless something has changed recently, Class I & II with 20 mph max speed ebikes have all the same rights and privileges as pedal bikes on the share the road with cars bike lanes, being able to ride your...

The bad thing about this rule is it only targets ebikes that can travel +15 mph. The weekend "tour de France" type speed pedal biker are usually between 17-22 mph (sometimes in wolf-packs) on the same bike trails and roadways without any restrictions. It would make sense if this law was for...

I love to get the best deal possible with price, features, reliability, flexibility, etc... It is just BEVs are not the best deal possible at this time for most of us (including me). We wouldn't have any issues with BEVs if they had a 1000 mile range minimum, took 10 mins or less to charge...

Exceptions do not make the rule. There are also fail diesel, gas powered, electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles over the years. For every successful Accord/Camry, there is a Pontiac, Mercury, or Saturn in the junk yard. BEVs are the answer; but, that doesn't mean your one Ford model will...

Not sure how you get "rock and rock debris" in the middle of a city unless you are doing construction? I only see horses for parades, mounted police, or romantic horse drawn carriages now days within city limits. The point is the BEV is here to stay and petrol power vehicles are on the way out...

Exceptions do not make the rule. Check out this Wikipedia for a list of hybrid vehicles over the years. How many are still around compared to the gas only versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hybrid_vehicles

My MDX/RLX hybrids are performance hybrids with the same EV system components you find in the +$150,000 Acura NSX sport car (just have a different V-6 engine for each vehicle). Increased performance, handling, and braking using EV components with the side effect of improved mpgs instead of...

I wish automakers would provide more hybrid and plug-in hybrid options to fill the gap until the EV infrastructure is built up. I have two hybrid vehicles (19 Acura MDX and 18 RLX). They are not plug-in hybrids, has the same mpgs for city/combined/highway travel, both have 30-70 more hp/tq...

Adding the option of extra AA battery powered X-mas lights once a year wouldn't be a deciding factor on purchasing one brand over another. Having an 2-5 year extended warranty option, improved customer service, local shop repair network, repeat buyer discounts with registered 1st time owners...

We have entire neighborhoods in New Mexico that put out Luminarias (called Farolitos in Northern NM) on their houses and yards every X-mas. Some neighborhood block off roads for bus, vehicle, and self or group guided bike tours on X-mas eve. A lot of folks add battery powered X-mas light to...

I would second that. The QuikRstuff is rated at 120lbs and no additions/mods or tools needed to adjust up/down for up to 5" fat tires. I don't have to remove rack bag, seat, or battery off my Radrover (around +/- 80lbs w/ accessories) or Himiway Cobra Pro (+/- 95 lbs w/ accessories). That...

Motocross bike doesn't have pedals. I can't ride a motocross bike on the sidewalk if there isn't a bike lane. I don't need to register an ebike. Way less maintenance requirements with an ebike compared to motocross bike. I can get as much and as little exercise as needed with an ebike. The...

I have something similar for my Cobra Pro I put my front tire into in the garage.

Did anyone attend CES 2024 and stop by the Himiway area? There were two ebikes that looked really interesting; but, no specs as of yet:

My suggestion is to provide a little background to help narrow down your choices. There is a difference between the good/better/best ebike choices on the market compared to good/better/best ebike for "you" that meets your needs in your riding environment. - budget range - miles per week, max...

Another platform rack made by the same inventor as the 1UP Super Duty is the QuikRstuff rack. It is a Colorado based company, this rack is "Made in USA" expensive, a few more features for flexibility, folds for easy storage in vehicle or home, easy on/off in minutes with zero tools, 28lbs for...

Two lies and and a truth.... I would even tell them I have the police on the phone, they are on camera, and the ebike has a hidden GPS tracker. Are there real or fake warning stickers for (e)bikes warning about hidden GPS trackers? Kinda like having the ADT security sign outside your house or...

I was thinking about a "wake" button somewhere on the ebike LCD screen or On/Off power button so the wireless key fob can sync to ebike if you don't have the secure encoded key option. I've had key fobs with a single Cr2032 batteries last 3-6 years depending on vehicle. The key fob could be...

Seems like it is opportunity for future manufactures can electronically link/lock a battery pack to an ebike with an encrypted code. Battery packs do have the power to transmit the unlock code to the bike once you enable with a key/keypad/fob. Similar to vehicle having several key fobs being...

I'm above average also at 6'3" around 310lbs. I'm probably around 325-330lbs in full winter gear and commuter backpack loaded down with work cloths, lunch, electronics, etc... I just upgraded from my 2016 Radrover 750w rear hub to a Himiway Cobra Pro full suspension mid drive. The main reason...
