That must have been a really odd experience. :)

I fully expect there will be a whole new set of players in the EV landscape. The big motor companies are heavily capitalized and cannot pivot on a dime. They are optimized to design and build vehicles around gasoline-powered drivelines. While they have some EV offerings, newcomers can come in...

I'm kind of surprised the airbags didn't deploy, given that a Percheron can weigh up to 2600lb. Glad no one (besides the horse) got hurt.

A few other things you might want to consider: Riding style. It sounds like since she hasn't ridden much, a more upright cruiser-style posture might be appropriate. It appears the handlebar stems are adjustable, but you might want to confirm there is enough cable length for the adjustments you...

Toilet paper, actually. Before you laugh, consider which you'd be willing to give up (permanently) first: Smart phone, e-bike, laptop, or toilet paper? PS - They don't make Sears catalogs anymore.

Quite a few years ago, a bunch of kids were in a car tooling around Amish country near where I lived at the time. They topped a hill at 60mph at night and hit horse just on the other side of the crest. The horse came through the windshield, killing the two in the front seat. I am very happy for...

I thought a balaika was a kind of Russian guitar that the Beatles sang about.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when hearing statistics is to confuse correlation with causation. Statistically speaking, correlation is a mathematical calculation of the agreement between sets of data. Causation is, well, the thing or things that causes there to be a relationship. A...

IMO, there is not much disagreement on climate change. Where the problem comes is in attributing cause. It gets magnified when scientists (see above) act like politicians, and politicians act like scientists.

As I scientist myself, I can confidently state this: Science says nothing but scientists do.

Since it is defective, will they do an exchange for a new bike? They have a 14 return policy, and in your case maybe they would waive the fee. Otherwise, I would keep bugging them for a date when they expect the past to be available.

That's the point. Some e-bike purists will say, "that's not an e-bike...it's a moped". Whatever. I have found that the more I ride the less I use the throttle. My legs are getting in better shape, and I am inclined to up the PAS level when pedaling gets hard rather than use the throttle. I...

I recently talked to a guy at a LBS. He told me that he is hearing that people who do not have a throttle on their bikes are wishing it had one. Apparently, the need for that quick burst of speed when crossing busy streets is a major advantage. More so than the fatigue factor.

Have you considered the Townie series which is available at REI and other shops? Seems like it might be a good fit. REI also has an awesome return policy if you don't like it. :) Townie 7D Step-thru

Also suggest getting downloads of or printing out ALL of the tech support articles.

Fortunately, most components on ebikes can be replaced or substitutes found, the battery excepted. Even then, there is a good chance you can have it refurbished when the time comes.

The elephant in the room is the fact that petrochemical industry rides on the back of the petrofuel industry. Only 15% percent of a barrel of crude oil is used for petrochemicals, which in turn are used to make anything from plastic to make-up to medicine. As the need for petrofuel declines...

Your words betray you. :) You be you.

It is not ideological (nor BS) that California passed a ban on the sale of new gasoline powered vehicles then weeks later they tell people not to charge their EVs due to a shortage of electricity. It is not ideological (nor BS) that the average electric car has a range less than 300 miles and a...
