    The tire size change is to 22.2. The odometer will be right on, the MPH will be faster by about 1.5 MPH that you are really going. Checked it with 2 bike and a GPS. 20 in tire size. perfect MPH, low odometer reading by 10%. 22.2 in tire size perfect odometer reading, but faster MHP, no happy...

    Tacking number is created by the fulfillment center using FedEx software. A real delivery date will issued when the bike is scanned in by FedEx in Arcadia CA. Mine sat at the fulfillment center for a week before it went to FedEx

    A lot depends on that, your weight, how much tire pressure, totally flat terrain, head wind or tail wind. It would be just a guess to answer a question like that accurately. Ride the bike a lot and make log.

    Thank you! Over the years I'll bet I have picked up over 100 bikes put out at the curb that people just weren't riding anymore, some in like new condition. I drop them off at my local Kiwanis thrift store, they have a truck that picks them up or they will pickup at your house. Don't worry...

Kawanias in most major areas has a bike program reconditioning bikes all year and gives them away to underprivileged children at Christmas. http://www.kiwanisbikes.org/donate.html The web site show NV, but they have it here in my small town of FL as well. Many of...

    Congratulations on the arrival! On splittling up the forums, I had no problem bookmarking Accessories or other items I saw without having to look for what forum I saw it in. Oh well, just me I guess. Hate to see the forum participation drop off and sharing ideas. Hope you report the...

    I guess since this forum has been so split up, there is nothing going on any more. :( Curious if many others have changed the P06 setting from a 20 inch tires to the 22.2 size of the fat tires? Did you find a more accurate reading of the odometer?

    From your previous post I have been watching that. Mostly try to go with "free" shipping to avoid that and watch the deleivery time. Some go as long as 60 days. Fun site, thanks for posting it. Can't believe how inexpense things are and I don't have to run all over town for small items, like...

    For those that think the derailleur guards is an important piece of equipment as I do protecting the derailleur and wiring to the motor, I found spares at Darceman's favorite site ( and now one of mine 😊 ) in the $1.00 price range. I will be carrying a spare as I found out yesterday how easily I...

    It's more important to me than having a fortress lock I will never use. Every user has their own needs. Nothing wrong with discussing either one. I will put 6,000 miles a year bouncing around in the back of a truck, but never set foot in a large city. Which will I use more?

    They are free in FL, you are allowed and encouraged to take as many as you want. NYC is a perfect home for them. 😂

    If you slide the bike in the back of a truck it sure is. I would have damaged the derailleur today if I did not have the guard. That would have been the pits to drive 100 miles to a trail head to arrive with a damaged derailleur instead of a bent guard that I was able to fix in 5 seconds by...

    Just did a test load of the bike into the back of the truck. The derailleur guard bent instantly. For my situation, it is a must have. I will make extra padding for the handlebar and load it derailleur side up next time.

    Nice job and write up. One thing about the derailleur guard, If I didn't have one, I would purchase one. I will be transporting our bike in the back of a Chevy Colorado laying on their sides. For my needs, I need all the protection I can get. Before I get flamed for not locking the bikes...

    I agree. If you have to lock your bike in your garage, it's time to move.

    Looks like people need armor cars for transportation, not bicycles. 😁 Glad I left the big city 30 years ago, that is just one of the reasons.

    Several Youtube videos on locks. You can spend 1/2 the cost of the bike if you are in a high risk area, or judge how much security is needed in the area of your campus.

    There is a plug to unplug the motor on he left side. Lots of good vidios on Youtube. Rad-mini has one almost identical to the XP. The axle bolt will come off without effecting the wire. Take photos of the location of all the washers and pay attention to which way to torque washer tabs go...
