    fat bike advice to my eye doc

    I like your post and agree to most everything based on my limited knowledge having owned my eBike for only 2 plus years and just put a little over 2000 Km onto it. Mine is a Fucare Gemini which I purchased directly from Amazon and pay about 2700.** Canadian Dollar for. It has a 750 rear Hub...

    Can someone explain to me e-bike maintenance

    For the majority of Bike Riders doing there own Maintenance a Torque Wrench may be a good Idea if they use it. If at all possible keep your Bike or eBike inside your home when not in use so it can dry out, not to mention wont get stolen. If your Bike is muddy, lay it on its side (the side where...

    NYC wants to license and register ebikes and scooters

    I love the Freedom my eBike gives me but hate to say there are just as many problem Bike & eBike Riders as there are problem Car, Truck and Automobile Drivers. Only difference is Bikes and eBikes so far dont display a Licence Plate but I wont be surprised if that requiremen plus Insurance will...

    US Bill on Battery Safety...

    Dont buy it unless you are sure it is USA/Canada Certified. Carefull with CE Certification which is mandatory for any Imports into the European Union. Some Items comming from China bear the CE sign pretending to be European Union certified. However some CE markings are slightly different...

    Disappointing Bosch update

    Made in Germany used to stand for quality but no longer. Overpriced and underperforming thanks to a overbearing Bureaucracy. I left that Country long time ago and never regetted a second that I did, brought the values from way back when with me and did very well.

    It all depends. Our Kids are all Homeowners and paying down there huge Mortgages, all work hard and make real Money. No Dope/Gambling with none of them. If they would need help we would consider the request on there own merrits.

    The original torque wrench is still the best!

    To go by Manufacturers spec would probably the wisest thing to do but when I am at it I dont want to dig out specification nor my regular Torque wrench I have in the Shop. Most Guys with mechanical experience since Childhood know what feels right and what not. Generally speaking Screws/Bolts on...

    Charging Baterie to maximum all the time.

    Regarding Bateries I am no "Expert" therefore I listen to what People claiming to have Knowledge, have to say. However that does not mean I do not question the "Experts" answers if something seems off. And only the Almighty knows how many real "Experts" there are in the Internet. If things...

    Protecting E-Bikes While Transporting Them

    Put a full cover on like the one shown on the previous post. Then cover this Cover with a heavy duty Fishnet. strap with Bungee cords. The Fishnet will spoil the Wind reducing flapping considerable. Cheers

    interesting new garmin radar data

    If you want Motor Vehicles coming up from behind you to slow down, attach a rear facing Camera or Cellphone onto your Bike. Vehicle Drivers will assume the Camera is recording, with License plate already recorded, works Wonders. Cheers

    Lithium-Ion Batteries and others

    I thank everybody for there comment, unfortunately I had hoped for a "Wunderbar" solution which apparently there is none. Seems to me that our Governments are very efficient contentiously increasing our Tax burden but fail miserably in protecting Consumers by insuring such increasingly...

    More Rad lawsuit fallout? (good for the consumer)

    Turning a Bike upside down should not result in any Problems with the Brake system hydraulics providing there are no leaks whatsoever and the System has been properly bleed.

    Rear Rack Bag?

    I call it frugal when someone wants to save a few Bucks. In the old Country some Kids learn from there Parents, "The Rich know how to be frugal". My eBike needed Baskets. A couple unused Freezer Baskets got spray-painted Black then ziptied to the front and rear Rack. Light, strong and looking...
