Just curious... Can someone posts a picture of these goatheads? I don't spend too much time on trails (yet). Thanks

I know exactly what you're referring to. More than once I clocked one of my kids in the head trying to swing my leg over. That was over 35 years ago, and I still can't get them to sit in that seat.

What I am surmising by reading this thread is that Slime-ing a tire is like wearing a life jacket. You hope you never need it, but you'll be very glad to have it on if you do. A few months ago when I was looking at various e-bikes, Lectric was offering Slimed tires as a bonus. Question: Is there...

Any thoughts about self-sealing inner tubes? Slime self-healing Bell Self-sealing

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I've used Slime before on my garden tractor. Can you provide some guidance on using it in bike tires? Thanks!

Not sure what is about food trucks, but for whatever reason the food tastes better. Or maybe since we eat it outside with bugs, dust, and something other than Michelin 3-start dining ambience we have lower expectations. :) 😋🍲

My wife really liked the Townie when she rode it. Besides the fact that we were looking for something a bit less expensive, the biggest reason we didn't go this the 7D is the battery is not removeable. I live in northeast Wisconsin, and removing the battery for storage during winter is a...

Maybe if you click your heels together twice you'll be in Kansas.

I agree with this. My limited experience is Ride1Up spent a good deal of time developing the software to give a very smooth riding experience with the 500, anyway.

I have a Ride1Up Series 500. It is a hub drive with presumably a cadence sensor. However, it feels closer to the Specialized, Trek, and Giant mid drives I test rode than the Velotric Discover 1 I bought for my wife. I am impressed with the quality of the build and components. Their support is...

You'll have to hunt around on the Ride1Up site for the manual for the display. Ride1Up's online support and documentation search is very good.

I do not regret buying a step-thru. I am 62 and felt that at some time in the future I may not be able to swing my leg over the seat. Also, I plan on getting a cargo "thing" of some sort which may further inhibit swinging of the leg over the seat. One thing to check is the step-thru or...

It's a 15-20 year old bike with a value of about $15 at Goodwill. Still solid, but was never close to top of the line to begin with. If I could electrify it for <$500 I'd be really happy.

Check out a novel called Josiah For President.

Any suggestions for kits or components?

I am looking to convert an old Schwinn Frontier women's bike to an e-bike. I don’t want to spend a boatload of money doing it. I am concerned that there is not enough room between the top and lower tubes to put a battery there. Also, the bike has rim brakes. Should I be concerned about having...

I can't help but believe this country would be in a much better place if we took the time to get to know each other, rather than think the worst of each other. Thanks for the heart-warming story.

I appreciate your sentiments, but I think you're painting with an awfully broad brush. Perhaps you already did, but if you peruse the entire thread you will find there is a whole spectrum of opinions. My concern is that policy-drivers, be they in the government or media, often pick the "best...

This is pretty awesome. I can understand how it can work for rickshaws and delivery motorcycles. I like your idea of having skins with swappable batteries. I love my DeWalt cordless tools. Maybe DeWalt will start making ebikes. 😁
