I ride a bit unpowered when riding with friends on bikes without motors. The Yamaha motor is quite easy to ride when off. It takes a bit to get it rolling but once up at speed I have no issue keeping up with the friends. I definitely appreciate more gears in this context. Powered I really just...

I had a close look at that one. It'd work fine for my partners bike. The fenders on my Explore and the 49.5" wheelbase on my e160 knock it out of contention for those two. Sigh, I think I'm going to have to conceded the product I'm after doesn't exist. I swear - this is how people start their...

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. The first is horizontal only. Rome's first Amazon image is the kind of storage I'm after but that model is 20kg and 2.4" max. The tyre may fit but the weight rules it. After extensive searching there may not actually be a product out there for me. Did...

1) I commute on a hardtail most days and a FS emtb once a week when a few of us hit the trails after work. I'd always reach for the hardtail over the mtb - it's just better decked out for commuting with a rack for the pannier, fenders for rain, mirror for traffic and bell. The geometry is a lot...

People of EBR, I know there's a bit of scattered discussion about this here and there, but I'm after a recommendation. I keep my bikes in my study but it's getting crowded with my commuter and eMTB, plus my partners bike. Does anyone have a recommendation of a reasonably sturdy ebike-capable...

Respectfully, what you're hearing seems to be what you want to be hearing. What people are telling you is a 250W motor will eat up whatever hill you throw at it. Options around or under the 50lb mark include the Cannondale Topstone, Canyon Grail:On, Cairn Brave, Giant Revolt or if you want to...

I can't prove it's worth your while - only you can do that - but I did have experience with fade on an earlier bike. BH Evo Cross, purchased second hand and 3 years old with 80% battery health as reported by the store. I commuted daily on it, charging each night until the light went green...

Nothing like riding in a storm to make you feel alive!

I started a thread a little while back to try and solicit some real world stats on charging patterns and battery degradation. You can draw your own conclusions from the limited sample pool. Mine (as a pretty religious 80/20 charger) is that it's probably not worth the effort for all but the most...

C'mon @fooferdoggie, it's just an electric balance bike. For 13+ year olds. Who haven't learnt to pedal yet 😄

Ohh! A Tern competitor. Bring it Ravi! Do you think you can achieve it for similar dollars to a GSD?

That's about the size of my list. Difference of opinion is good and healthy but I draw the line at mysogony, condescension, trolling and spite... bad manners, as my grandfather would say.

I'm with you there @Alaskan. Recently converted to tubeless (thanks @Stefan Mikes for the recommendation). The previous Marathon/Tannus combo offered superb peace of mind but oh my, the tubeless setup is night and day a better ride. It feels like a whole new bike: nimble, cushioned, faster...

A$1400 to an eye watering A$2770.

Globalstar by the looks of it. Pity about the lack of AU coverage, that and 4k cinematic video would have made it a clear stand out for my next phone. https://www.itnews.com.au/news/globalstar-cuts-satellite-services-deal-with-apple-584983

Here too! I've gotten swooped every morning this week. No photos alas. One day I might steel myself to get a shot

The little buggers are getting close! Neither of the below are great shots but do highlight what some clever algorithm trickery can manage these days. Essentially photo stacking and averaging in the first and an IR depth of field sensor with artificial lens blur in the second, both completely...

I retired my DSLR last year as a walkaround camera. The cameras and algorithms on phones these days get me 95% of the way without the bulk. I will say they still fall well short for tele shots, but I don't shoot a lot of those. I'm a media professional so have no shortage of access to quality...

The technology is cheap, the labor to hold it less so. Police in our city are flat strapped chasing vehicle theft, domestic abuse and the other joys of life in law enforcement. And automated systems like speed traps would rely on a licensing system to work, like a visible number plate (and the...
