    Anyone use a solar system to charge your ebike? What system are you using?

    I found a small a/c 2 amp charger that may allow me to use one solar panel (using my yeti400) to handle the 55ah battery on our Aliner Scout. We use so little current in our tag along because of led lighting. We use battery "bricks" to charge our small tablets and phones using a foldable 25w...

    Anyone use a solar system to charge your ebike? What system are you using?

    I have a Yeti400 (GoalZero) that powers my Dometic 65 on Solar or my cars alt while traveling. I plan on charging my eBike batteries (one at a time,) using the a/c inverter outlet. According to Goal Zero I should have no problems. These "Solar" gen-pacs ( kinda misleading imo) do simplify...

    rail trails across USA

    By all means we can.stay posted on where-abouts. Grand Canyon is amazing, especially the first time you see it. Much of our itinerary is based on crowds. I'd rather go to a less occupied area. If we can secure campsites at RMNP and Tetons, we will go there after SD. This is all predicated on my...

    rail trails across USA

    Way before eBikes, like 5 years ago. That said I love the Southwest. If you have spent little or no time in that region give yourself time to adjust to what looks like a pretty bland landscape. The Desert 🏜️ is for many an acquired taste. But I have to tell you, once onboard, amazing beauty and...

    rail trails across USA

    I just checked my Trail Link app. NM had nothing that looked worthy of driving there for. I pretty much rely on that app to find any bike trails I might be interested in. As to NM. We loved Taos...mostly the food. Santa Fe, not do much, very very touristy. I had a run in with a parking...

    rail trails across USA

    I tried to talk my wife into supporting this. She would drop me off and wait at a campground with our Aliner, 50 miles ahead. I figured it would require 4 batteries. Two on the bike, 2 on the charger. Problem is, she wants to be able too ride sections also. We would never complete it in a...

    Dining out during Covid

    I was saying what I said, tongue in cheek. Of course it's bad here. The problem is a governer who has a problem with truth, amazingly so. (:

    Dining out during Covid

    Pretty sure it's biz as usual here in Central Fl. We have not been in a Restaurant in many, many months but have done some outside faires. Come to think of it I'm not sure if Covid19 is recognized as a problem here but there is lots of talk of how bad pneumonia has been, to the point it's...

    What E-Bikes Have You Bought Which Have Exceeded Your Expectations?

    Glad to see an Ecotric posted. I have the beach/snow fattie26, my wife the Dolphin 20" folder. They were supposed to be starter bikes. I looked at Haibikes first. Anyway after a year they both work everytime we go out ( about twice a week). I am thankful I wasn't consumed by the activity or I...

    True, but they also didn't have location tracking or Drones with someones pre-programed basement coordinates. (:

    Gotta a feelin' 21is gonna be a good year...

    We act like this country has never been divided. It has always been. How we managed to get a constitution was to kick the big disagreements "can" down the road to deal with at a later time, and have been dealing with those same disagreements ever since. What I see for the New Year's to come is...

    Do you wear a mask when you ride?

    I have started to wear a mask whenever I am outside, riding our bikes, or not. It's not a statement it's simply what I choose to do. I avoid folk who don't wear masks, their choice also.

    Fatbike Tires Compared to Not So Fatbike Tires

    Fat tire bikes, when they first came out, reminded me of a mountain bike Cris Mouse or Ed Roth would design. I loved them. Like RichC I might be ready to go thinner (3"). I like how they work here in Florida scrub but don't like them on hard-pack trails or asphalt. No doubt the slow steering...

    rail trails across USA

    I actually started to try and do a portage reference on the Great American Trail so a rider can better coordinate with the poor sole who agreed to run a SAG vehicle. When I finish it I will post a link. Its a "big" deal, to be able to traverse the country traffic free. Glad @artdeco posted this...

    Santa Cruz Heckler

    Wonder how many seniors are going to buy these and end up way over their heads? I remember 600 ninjas when they first came out. There were enough incidents to justify claim adjusters having office space at Kawasaki dealerships (:

    Brooks Flyer Leather Bike Seat

    I am selling my hardly used Brooks Flyer because the seat rails were not long enough to move the seat back without purchasing an off set seat post. My wife was not on-board with the additional $50 on top of the $100 for the seat. Your gain (: The seat is $75 + exact postage. If you have a UPS...

    Ebike makers: winners and losers in 5-7 years?

    I remember doing payroll on a "Trash" 80 (ms:dos). When you think how fast that industry grew and the companies now a memory. Compaq , Osborn, Wang OMG lol

    Ebike makers: winners and losers in 5-7 years?

    I think your spot on with that . A large swath of the current fare of brands will be a "do you remember?" 5 years from now.
