Well an eBike is part of the discussion. I do agree that an eBike in a liveable van might work better than a Wallmart pop tent and a shopping cart. I have actually been looking into a variation of van-life so my wife and I can continue to travel more while keeping two places for winter and...

I was merley referring to the use of attorneys in disputes with repairs etc, not physical injury liability. I am quite aware of product liability lawsuits having been the defendant in such a case. Being in the biz I'm sure you concur that the slip and fall cases of the 70's and 80's are pretty...

Is this not a no-brainer , basic retail 101 way of doing business?

I agree. If they actually do get a stimulus deal soon, I for one, hope it is more individual, family oriented. Airline bailouts, as only one example, won't help main street. I'm afraid any checks going out now will be for mtg pmts, rent, car pmts etc. Again, no help to the local merchants. What...

You just articulated why DTC will be the new way to do business. LBS folk want to educate us as to why we should buy from them without giving us a reason. First off, no inventory and you won't work on my internet bike? Good luck with that business plan. If I were a brick and mortar store in this...

LOL. Actually I have owned businesses and have repaired many items over my 6.9 decades. The flat occured on our way to a beach, loading the bike on its carrier. Fortunately I did well enough in my business to be able to afford the $64 to put goop and air in 2 tires. I don't need to "get dirty"...

I ran into the same "won't work" on eBikes not purchased here or not the same brand. I had a rear flat tire on my wife's new Ecotric 20" folder. I finally "sold" him on sealing the front and rear tires with sealant , no flats since, $64. I paid without protest knowing that was the last dime of...

Without proper tools, why bother, right? Plus as much as I critique LBS locations I want them to survive. I had my eBike ( the accoustic side) tuned recently by a LBS. He bought the store end of January. He has totally missed the "boom" due to inventory shortages (Trek) . Anyway he has really...

Yeah I would consider your experience as a good one. Mine went well also. Took about 4 days for a reply to my email but after that, quick and easy. I can put up with a who bunch of 5 email transaction for the $800 the bike cost. Some of the issues at the customer service level on higher end...

My biggest fear of another crash is I'll have to listen to all those idiots talk about how rich they were before the crash as they drive away in a Hertz Used Cars Lincoln Town Car.....gag (:

$1400 seems like a good value for another bicycle/eparts offering. It doesn't seem like a steal. I am well under 1400 on my 26" Ecotric with added fenders, front suspension and rack. Oh and my Brooks Flyer. I think if you get defective parts ( that usually show rather quickly 1st 100mi) if done...

I have to agree, a bit pricey.

Wow! They are now doing bicycle parts? I had alot of involvement with Yoshimura in the 70's and 80's. They , Pops and crew, built some of the fastest motorcycles on the AMA emerging Superbike class of production racers. Obviously they have expanded.

I'm sorry bikeman, I missed this. I use a Swagman fat tire eBike hitch rack on the back of the Aliner ( its a pop up, if you didn't know) for my 26" fattie and my wife's folder goes inside the rig, right behind the entrance door. It fits perfect. Her bike counters the rear overhang and weight of...

JR seems the most experienced working with the *system", no doubt. Pa has a long history of two wheel dirt activities. MotoX, Enduros etc. I just see the potential of a really nice bump in commercial activity along R2T like the GAP. I rode a section in May and lets face it, those little villages...

I remember the BLM "Green Sticker" requirements in Ca in the 70's along with USFD approved Spark Arrestors ( actually a sensible requirement ) on Dirt Bikes. Snowboards, Jet Skis. What I don't get, since all the issues listed, pertained to mostly non-voting participants. I have yet to run into...

Actually my response was tongue in cheek, but thanks for your thoughts on the matter. (:

This reminds me of Harley in the 80's till say 2013 or there about's. Nice run by the way. The big difference is eBikes are not products folks want or need for identity. They don't have the kind of "cool,.must have" thing going for them. They are products that let us older folk ride again. LBS...

I so agree....

Aside from getting parental advise as a senior citizen, something that simply irks me, even if well intended, as it no doubt was, why would anyone want to ride hands free? To what purpose? I can see where wiring could cause stability problems with the front end tracking. I was pretty surprised...
