    Need To Cover Bike on RV

    Sounds good just wanted to put it out there in case anyone was still looking. Your right for 15 dollars you aren't risking much. Good luck with it and let us know how it holds up. I know on the rv anything in the back gets a lot of turbulent wind and dirt so you definitely need something.

    Need To Cover Bike on RV

    Ordered the right cover for the Aurora on Evelo site today, it's a Topeak 27/29" mtn bike size designed for wind, rain, etc. so should work out good, slips over top and has straps etc. for keeping it in place and a carry bag. Cost was 55 dollars most likely find it a couple bucks cheaper if you...

    Need To Cover Bike on RV

    My rv a Cougar travel trailer came with the fold down rack with a post that pivots up into position to hold the bike. Works well, but only rated for 250 lbs total weight. My generator is.a Honda 3000I I would highly recommend but weight is 130 so not light. I use a ramp and a portable battery...

    Need To Cover Bike on RV

    Sorry for the confusion, I have a rack on the rv that is a platform made of steel and a post that stands up with an eyelet at the top for holding a bike. I need a cover that slips over the bike, not the type that cover the bottom of the wheels, those are installed when the bike is suspended on a...

    How far off is the Aurora to a cruiser riding positionwise?

    Hey there David, I am totally satisfied with my new Aurora, great ride , I did after all end up installing the riser on the bars and that was a major improvement for me in riding position as I don't like a lot of weight on my wrists, also got the Ergo grips and rear bag etc. Has been a great...

    Need To Cover Bike on RV

    Looking for some help from anyone who may carry their bike on the RV, mine has a fold down platform on the back with a post that stands up to secure a bicycle for transport. I am looking at Amazon so forth but have not found one, if it covers the bottom of the wheels like regular racks I...

    Love the RR photos! I am a train nut and spend a lot of time in Co. chasing the narrow gauge steam. Love the history.

    Juiced Cycles with 12T MAC motor @ 48V doing over 30mph

    Wow, when he cuts off the main road to the path where those cars are parked he's moving much faster than I would, passing buses and cars is a trip for sure, at my age though going down at those speeds could put some serious hurt on me. I would love it but think I will stick with my 25mph for a...

    Topeak Pump Mount for Aurora

    Just added a Topeak pump to my Aurora, fits perfect and a really nice pump. I don't use the water bottle cage mount on the tube so perfect place and saves bag space. Also added a handlebar mirror that works quite well so things are coming together. Only thing better would be some warm dry...

    Crankset unhappiness

    Normally you can’t reach the ground when sitting unless you ride bent knees flintstone style.

    Crankset unhappiness

    Are you trying to reach the ground while sitting?? One advantage of mid drive here no magnets and any std. crank will work. Aren't fat bikes designed primarily as off road ? if so ground clearance would be taken into account when building for rough terrain. Also need to be careful with longer...

    Mounting and dismounting

    Ya that's like when I sold my last Harley Davidson and went down to a scooter the boys no longer waved at me,,,LOL, I love scooters, old Cushman Eagles and Vespas. I got tired of the 850 lb hog and really enjoyed just putting around on my scoots. Now I am on the E bike and I really enjoy just...

    Mounting and dismounting

    I agree Douglas, I am 76 and don't much care anymore about the Macho stuff, need ease of use and safe as I can get it so I don't end up breaking anything. Not the bike, but me! I found the swing over and off a bit much as I am not as limber as I once was. Works for me.

    Mounting and dismounting

    This is a fairly old thread so for me things have changed since posting a while ago, I ordered and received a Evelo Galaxy TT and had it for about a week. Getting on the bike as you describe in your text was not a problem, same way I have always done since a kid. But I found the dismounting was...

    Took the Plunge

    By the way, did you Slime your tires? I am not actually sure if these are tubeless or tube? need to look that up. Got a bottle of Slime but have not put it in yet.

    Took the Plunge

    I gotta agree on the riser made a whole world of difference. My front fender has not been an issue since I tweeted it a bit. I almost feel as though all the PAS levels are not really needed, I find myself in 1 90% of the time occasionally 2, seems like just two levels would be plenty. Weather...
