The Democrats’ bill contains a $4.1 billion tax break for electric bicycle buyers, subsidizing 30 percent of the cost, up to $900, to help “put butts on bikes,” as one House member put it. Credit is retroactive to 2018.

They are explicitly exempted provided the operator has a qualifying disability.

Thanks! Do you have link to it?

By any chance was this the mid drive kit you used?

Sort of like LoJack or OnStar without the personal touch. I know in Suffolk County NY many of the police cars have a LoJack receiver which goes off when a stolen car is activated. If the car is in a private area like a garage and the property owner refuses to grant entry, LoJack works with...

I went with THIS one primarily because it mounted easily to my rear rack and is BIG. I ended up using ENERGIZER lithium non-rechargeable batteries. Maybe 15+ hours so far on the first pair and they are still going strong. I have not had a problem with it falling off the rack, but then nearly...

Do you have a link to that? TIA !

Nice choice! And kudos to RadRover for coming up with an innovative size chart which more accurately determines whether a particular model will fit you. p.s Lucky grandson!

Looking at the specs for the "5" it appears the lowest point of the top tube (measured next to the seat tube) is less than 30". My DJ Bikes is a little over 31" at the same point. I found unmounting to be a chore, if not downright dangerous, due to balance problems associated with Parkinson's...

Any luck with a battery replacement?

My LBS (Flythe's Bikes, New Bern, NC) will work on any component of an ebike that you would find on an analogue bike.

These are what I use.

Not a bad idea but I think it would takee up too much space.

Glad to hear you're up and running!

Not that I have much experience with ebike tire wear compared to analogs’, but the pictured wear seems normal. One question comes to mind, however, and that is why such an ”aggressive” tread for a tire that spends most, if no all, its time on paved roads?

The New York Times recently ran a revealing article on the problems with the distribution system as it affects worldwide supply. One fact particularly impressed me. In some cases, the cost of shipping a container from China to Los Angeles increased from $2000 to $25,000! If the average Connex...

Can’t believe I missed this post back when it first came out. Glad I got to see it. Excellent!

Michelin announced in 2019 the development of an airless passenger vehicle tire. Supposedly going to market in 2024. If they do and it’s successful, I don’t see bicycle tires being that far behind.
