    How can you not start off without full voltage?

    Another reason to get the highest Ah battery available, and more than one. This way you charge to 80% and never fully deplete while still getting the range you want.

    Juggernaut Ultra DUO 3 in blue, arrived more purple, Biktrix made it right.

    Could not resist the 1000w Bafang Ultra Motor mid-drive (160Nm) with a 52v/17Ah internal battery and the 52v/13 Ah extender battery they throw in FREE (for a limited time), plus the 11-speed SRAM NX drive train. Got the optional Tektro 4-piston brakes, and the A-bars. Chose the 'Electric Blue'...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    2/10 on the island of Maui. There are no dedicated bike paths on Maui other than a small stretch between Baldwin Beach Park and Kanaha Beach Park, but it puts you out on a busy highway for most of the ride. There is a small section in the Olowalu and Laniapoko areas. In Kihei, Kahului and...

    Another thing to consider is that the Como is designed to put you in a more upright stance, so more weight is on the saddle. Have you owned a rider upright bike before the Como? If not, could be the cause of the unprecedented discomfort in the seat/Keester.

    Ya, next to the Rav4 this Como looks like quite a long bike; but looks secure. The arch will keep it from sliding horizontally when you turn. I just ordered it.

    Ok, found it on Amazon; looks good. I am gonna push the button. I am seeing a longer ramp for $99, that load angle looks easier than the shorter one. Pricey for sure. Oh well, it's only money...

    You don't know which rack your using? Obviously there are many Thule racks and I thought I would ask cuz it sounded like you might have attached a pic when you wrote "this rack", and I was not sure if I am not seeing the pics for some reason. I am looking for the right ramp-loading rack. Thanks...

    e-bike front wheel wall hanger set ups - show me yours!

    A large diameter lag screw embeds itself into the stud fairly strong, but if your studs are exposed as in the photos you could use a thru bolt for the strongest attachment possible. Drill thru the side of the stud near the center of it's width then attach the hook to the inside face of the stud...

    e-bike front wheel wall hanger set ups - show me yours!

    Not sure I would hang an ebike by the front wheel given the extra weight. But it looks like they are not actually hanging in your photo. If you were to actually suspend them to save even more room, I would strap it by the frame near the top and head tubes. You can still suspend it with a wall or...

    Welcome. As far as transporting, given the heavy weight of ebikes, most people prefer a hitch mounted bike rack as it is lower to the ground and therefore easier to lift the bike onto. If your vehicle does not have a tow hitch there are trunk and/or hatch mounts that don't require lifting the...
