    Using a Pet Trailer with a Ride1Up Turris?

    If I had a small Dog I would try to have it sit in a Firmly mounted Wire Basket before the Handlebars so we can see each other. In my case we have a Doberman (14 mo. old Dober-Fraulein). I have a Cargo Trailer but have had no time to figure out how I can Harness her in the Trailer to be sure she...

    Ground breaking sleep technique

    Usually my Brain is multitasking all Day in my Office on overdrive. Friends and Customers in my age Group (70-80) envy my memory. When I need to relax I can be found in my Shop repairing/inventing/fabricating things in Metal. After 17.00Hr. Sundowners are allowed in my case Diet Coke with Rum...

    Ground breaking sleep technique

    Lubing an eBike chain

    My Bike (Fucare Gemini X) weights almost 80 Pounds. I wanted a Bike stand which lifts up the Front wheel and the Rear Wheel. This solution which works well for me. Picture enclosed. The Stand is actually a repurposed Soozier Bike Trainer Stand found at a Garage sale for 10 Bucks. To lift up the...

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    One of the reasons I enjoy riding my eBike is the near quietness and when outside City and on Bushroads I tremendously enjoy seeing Wildlife. Cheers

    Stronger headlight ?

    I like to see where I am going and not having to worry a Moose or Bear appears out of nowhere therefore I purchased a Standalone 2000 Lumens Yosky Bike Headlight which I really like. Drawback is it is a bit pricey and takes awhile to get charged up to 100% but so far (one year in use) that was...

    Getting bike and me ready to ride after long layoff and injury... replace tires??

    When I was a Kid, Bike Tires seemed to last forever must have been a helluva better quality (actual Rubber not Plastic) then nowadays. I had a Flat within first few Weeks after I purchased my new eBike with 4" Tires riding on Pavement, go figure. Checking Tire pressure every time before a ride...

    Air Horns

    A Handheld Air Horn may do the Trick if you can find or fabricate a Holder for it. Not sure if that would be legal for use in Traffic, This Spring I took one along just in case I have to chase a Bear off the Bushroad while I was coming through. Cheers

    Saddle pressure, numbness, and maintaining sexual health at 59

    Well I am definitely no expert on eBike Saddles but let me tell you the first few Weeks I was riding my Bike my Butt was hurting. I am well into the 70ties and of the kind which adapts as long as reasonable. This Spring I had put over 2000 Km on my new Fun Conveyance and was now also riding in...

    My life was threatened....

    Frankly I don't believe the Story that Rider/Shooter told you. The fact that he showed you his Pistol leads me to believe he is full of you know what and just wants to show off. I frequently ride my eBike which has an attachment to which my Dog is tethered running beside my Bike. There are quite...

    Rating you preferred eBike repair Facility.

    eBike Mechanics with your experience and professional Background are not likely what the average Bike Shop could afford. If you would run your own Show, I bet People would beat a Path to your Door.

    Bike Repair Stand

    Awhile back I found at the Flee Marked this "Bike Trainer Stand" pretty well brand new for 10 Bucks' At Home I found the Axle from the Rear Wheel was to long but the Axle from the Front Wheel would fit nicely and hold my eBike nice and straight. Adding a Basic Jack Auto Stand under the "Mid...

    Bosch Powertube 750 Battery Low Range

    My eBike has 2 Batteries. Recently on some 52Km long trips I took off with both Batteries fully charged and run the first Batterie completely empty, turn her off then the other fully charged one on. When I got back home I noticed the first Batterie before was showed completely empty, now showed...

    Being fairly new to eBikes I am not sure if I fully understand what he is saying, at the same time I get the feeling this is revolutionary - Bright Minds - Wow

    Rating you preferred eBike repair Facility.

    Well, if the Repair required is mechanical, time permitting I prefer doing it myself. However if its electronics I leave it to the "Experts" if there is a Shop around with a Qualified Expert interested in the work. And here is the Rub, how do you know for sure he knows what he is doing...

    OK you may think you where/are frugal but have you thought about by repairing things, you probably leaned towards purchasing Parts which could be repaired and that would eventually backfeed to the Designers/ Engineers/Manufacturers. Therefore one can use his/her Wallet in whatever small way to...

    Totally reasonable, we are on the same page. Unfortunately way to many of the younger People, to me those are the 50 and younger ones never learned and/or had the opportunity or desire to repair anything. I know for a Fact that my Wife appreciates the fact that if the Dryer breaks down, a Dog...

    New and require some advice if anyone has the time

    I am glad you got away with only a few minor scratches and hope they healed up already. Regardless please get in Touch with the Supplier you purchased the Bike from as I have no doubt the Manufacturer would like to know of your Problem too and if it was a Material or Design Flaw would like to...

    Perhaps I am mistaken, but for some reason I thought Bike and eBike users are more Environmentally friendly People. What I mean with that is if a part on you Bike fails, I would expect an Environmentally responsible Person expect to try to have it repaired instead of just exchanged. Of course...
