I saw that 2400 dollar Yamaha battery on sale at an on-line bike shop in California, likely where the OP here found it and got the shock of his/her life. 1200 seems the going rate for the internal Yamaha battery; a few hundred dollars more than what I paid for my spare external Yamaha...

In that website's FAQ section: After I place an order, how fast do you ship? Our goal at Husqva Outlet is to ship your items out to you as soon as possible. Items that are in stock in our warehouse Google up "Husqva Outlet" and you get.....yes, the outlet for Husqvarna. What a bunch of...

The white rim tape was/is OEM Specialized. They even took the time and effort to emboss the "Specialized" logo all over it. It's too bad they didn't invest in better rear hubs as well as a better pressed-in crankset; both things plagued many Fatboys of the first generation (I guess I was one of...

Jeremy, the rim cutouts are a solution towards lightening up a fat bike rim. Both my Specialized FatBoy-90mm wide rims and Haibike Full FatSix-80mm wide rims, have them. In the early years of fatbiking, lots of fatbike owners got creative in the types and colors used in their own rim tape. The...

I recommend BOTH Orange and Black. The Orange one will immediately attract the thief, who will promptly cut it off with his 18 volt Harbor Freight cutting tool. But he will be thwarted by the black one, serving it's purpose, but unknown to him cause it's strategically placed low, on the chain...

I've been following this forum for years now and can tell you R&M has ALWAYS charged a high premium for their heavy-set and built ebikes. They do have their enthusiastic following. But do check the Riese and Muller threads within this forum to get a better all-around snap shot of the brand and...

Shame you did not consider the Zen brand of ebike, made in the Canadian maritimes by a very long time friend of this forum, Ravi Kempaiah. Zen offers both a Bosch and Bafang powered ebike, well specced with some very good components. And you're certainly not going to get the runaround as you did...

When I posted earlier in this thread, the first thing that came to mind is that exact kind of riding behavior as seen in @Deacon Blues youtube posted clip. Here in Northern Burlington County, bike paths running alongside county roads are few and far between and at that, just a recent phenomen as...

I know a good many years have passed since the movie "Breaking Away" was in theaters, raking in alot of money & in the process, igniting the road-racing craze on "10 speed bicycles". I came of cycling age during that time, but not at all interested in racing; more interested in pedaling 10 miles...

Stefan, thank you for posting this. Respect. Nothing but respect for Richard in how he carried himself on our little forum here. Respect for the life he built for his family. Respect for his demeanor on this forum, quick to lend a hand to anyone asking for help. Respect for how he lived his...

FatBike Hypermiling: In July 2018, I wanted to see just how much mileage I could squeeze out of my Yamaha 400wh, Yamaha PW drive, Haibike Full FatSix fat tired, dual suspension ebike. I had already ridden some 40 to 60 mile rides but wanted to see if I could do a Century on that bike and...

I told you once, I did!

Al, I'm sorry to hear of your own battle ongoing with cancer. Warm thoughts and prayers are extended your way as well. You've always extended a "helping hand" to any person asking for advice, so it's not surprising how you're looking at this fight of yours, head-on, with a great "get her done"...

On a commuter bike? LOL I see a frame warranty denial in the OP's future.

I remember this question asked before on this site. In all of my years reading various mtb and bicycling magazines; poking around here and over at Bike Forums, I have never, ever seen a question like this ever posed before. Please tell this audience what you expect to gain by removing a rack...

Outstanding! Congrats!

@retiredNH - I am saddened to hear of this news. My thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this time and in the coming days, weeks, months and yes, years. There will be a good number of people here who will be thinking and praying for you in this time, too.

Adventure Rider has forums on each brand and model you've brought up. You can probably get a better feel for what others there think in their long term ownership on each particular model. The Monkey has alot of enthusiastic owners and riders there. Many interesting modifications, as well. Back...

For sure, one could see apartment management as well as HomeOwner Associations successfully doing this. This is where some good can come from these fire tragedies and that Rad Power crash in CA with death: Force all modern bikes to come standard with a thru axle locking system and hydraulic...

I hope to read of others who have purchased and used ebike-specific back packs for the purpose of bringing along an extra ebike battery. Looking into it several years ago, I found these types of backpacks were exclusive to Euro backpack makers as the mtb ebike market there caught on earlier than...
