This is not much for Mr Coffee, who I'm sure knows, but back in the early 80's I set off to do a long ride from home here in NJ to Canada and back. I started out with a Cannondale front handlebar bag and two very nice, brand new Kirtland Tour Pack panneirs with lots of external pockets that Mr C...

Several manufacturers out there for mirrors. Based on the recommendation of others on this site, I went with the Hafny brand of mirror. Here's their website: https://www.hafnycomponents.com/bike-mirrors Nicely made, smart design. Great mirror optics. And even on the bike paths, I always give a...

@harryS provides the best advice in letting a shop figure out the suspension fork you need. If it were me, I'd go in that direction. I have a dual suspension Haibike Full FatSix. Rock Shox front and rear. 26 inch diameter, 4 inch wide off road fat bike tires. And a heck of a lot of miles on the...

My advice for a new ebike rider? For starters, always carry a tire tube patch kit, even a spare tube and an air pump. Tire pressure gauge. At all times. Experiment with your saddle height and front saddle nose angle for the most comfortable fit for you. Always check tire inflation before a ride...

I'm a fan of Ortlieb bags. And frame mounted racks from which to mount them onto. I never go anywhere without my rear saddle bag(s), be it to carry my tools, air pump, tubes, jacket, spare batteries and any and all other "stuff" I find necessary to ride my H-bike........

@tomjasz: Thank you for posting this news about Al, sad as it is. This little EBR family of ours here has lost a good guy with Al's passing. Al was always quick to help people with ebike advice when asked. He also stood his ground whenever an internet squabble would come up. Reading his obituary...

After using a Fox racing baggy short for several years, I tried Endura's Humvee 3/4 short, aka "Knickers". I found the Endura quality, albeit pricy, is also money well spent cause it will last you for years. I'd wear mine all the way into early winter. Endura has a unique "click in place"...

Sondors did go the 3 wheeler way. But it looks like his website for the car is pretty much dead. i wonder if he refunded all of the money back from those who invested in the car. In headier, more optimistic days, here's a story from Electrek about the Sondors EV...

I see on the Denango site they show a rear rack but it is sold out. Universal Cycles has a ton of similar-mounted rear racks you could consider by clicking this link to their rear rack page: https://www.universalcycles.com/search.php?q=rear+rack Hope that is a bit more help for ya! I've...

On the upper right corner of this page is a "Search" box. Click on that and type in "Rear Rack".............."Check" the box that says "Search Titles Only".................click on the bright blue SEARCH box.............. look over the many threads pertaining to rear racks to get an idea of what...

To the Original Poster: It sounds to me that a fat tired ebike, mid drive is what you need in desert riding. The fat tires allow you to go through deep sand where encountered, by lowering your tire pressure below 10psi. Do know that a fat tire will go through sandy conditions where a 2 inch wide...

I'm liking the blue....alot!!!

Court, I was riding my Specialized Fatboy for a couple years when I lucked out and "stumbled" on your site & in particular, your ebike reviews. This was about 2016 or so. I was riding that fatbike everywhere but after one 85 mile canal towpath ride, I was drained for several days afterwards. Not...

Court, I just want to thank you for everything you've done and continue to do, with this great forum and everything else related to Ebikes. This is still, hands-down, the best forum for ebikes in the world and it all goes back to you.

Congrats to both @tomjasz and @Old-tool-guy on your anniversary's. The two of you indeed are blessed! And Tom, that Electra Townie sure is a sharp looking ebike! She must be really happy with it! All the best, Mike.

I think @jabberwocky has been most helpful in putting you in the right direction. Your dealer; not so much. And fwiw, reading these forums for years, I can tell you that it matters not if it's R&M or Specialized or Trek or Haibike or Bosch or any other big name ebike manufacturers and there is...

I just got done watching Court's review (and another reminder of how terrific and informative his ebike video reviews are!) A few thoughts: THAT is one, nice bike! (@Stefan Mikes: this bike is every bit the competitor to what the top level ebike manufacturers of the day were putting out. The...

I have a Haibike Full FatSix, which has the lower output, original Yamaha PW drive, along with some 500wh batteries. Since buying the bike in February, 2017, I've ridden exclusively in the High power setting. And since the beginning and riding relatively at sea-level with minimal climbs in and...

These songs are most definitely the same. Everyone of a certain generation remembers Canned Heat through their hit blues rock songs as well as their filmed performance on the stage at Woodstock. Alan Wilson, the young leader of Canned Heat was a black- american blues aficianado and historian...
