    How to sell an expensive e-bike

    Craigslist, for sure--cash is king. You just have to deal with the tire kickers and lowballers. Should be a good demand in your area.

    Is There an eTrike with a Narrow Footprint?

    Consider the Catrike ePocket, about 31" wide and likely the smallest out there. Not cheap--$5,000. My wife rides a Catrike Trail (non electric) and reaslly likes it. USA made and in the top tier of recumbent trikes.

    Hi from The Hamptons, NY

    I agree...it's godawful ugly. Those are tiny air bladders you inflate via a small air valve. I'll admit, it is cushy on your tushy.

    Hi from The Hamptons, NY

    You will like it. My wife, who(m) I can't get to actually buy an e-bike, rented one while we vacationed in FL last winter. She loved it. She had it set up as a Class 2 only and felt it was plenty fast. Easy to handle and comfortable, except for the seat. She prefers a bike seat like this one:

    Widespread Giant motor creaking problem - time for a recall?

    Should I just use an impact wrench and trust that I won't tighten it so far that I will damage the bike? 30 NM is 22 ft/lbs. For me, I can pretty much nail 20 ft/lbs by feel, without the aid of a torque wrench. Snug, but not gorilla snug. I think the important thing is to get them all the...

    E-Bike rusted

    My ebike spends the summers in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, about 100 yards from the ocean. I learned very quickly what damp salt air can do to a bike, even when it’s under a cover. The local Pedego bike store recommended Pedro’s to me for keeping the bike clean and keeping the rust at bay...
