it's great! no more complaints from passengers, as comfy as riding a moped. it seems to be holding up well to the rain and snow although i wouldn't leave it outside. easy to take on/off when i need to use the full rack for cargo. would definitely recommend.

uhh yeah maybe do less. honestly i just toss them in i dont measure anything so i was just guessing when i wrote that out. maybe start with 1 tablespoon.

getting healthy definitely takes the priority, glad to hear she has access to the doctors she needs to make that happen. it sounds like you already had the recumbent idea, that's what i was coming here to suggest you try in the mean time. something like that or some style of cargo bike that...

you only do it for a minute. some of it cooks off but not all, so you either add brandy to keep things strong or you drink wine that's just a bit weaker.

we drink a lot of mulled wine around this time of year. makes the whole house smell like Christmas. i came across somebody who made it in a pressure cooker and have been doing it that way ever since. now it takes about 15 minutes start to finish instead of 2 hours. - a bottle of merlot or...

you can't just throw in a higher voltage battery to your bike and hope it's ok unless you're willing to potentially burn up the bikes electronics. the controller, display, and potentially motor are all expecting a specific voltage range and exceeding that is asking for trouble. however it does...

i tried to find more info on it and dutch insurance doesn't keep track of e-bike fires specifically they just get put into the category of "battery fires" which also includes laptops, phones, etc etc. in 2020 apparently battery fires accounted for 3.7% of all the fires that occured, so you could...

it's really good to hear they not only still have this program going but that they've increased the amount of the rebate! this helped me buy my first ebike when i was living there, my car had broken down and i didn't have the money to repair it. it was a mod-bikes, they have a shop on S 1st St...

i love shitty rusty squeaky dutch bikes that sound like they are 2 good cranks away from death but keep on moving no matter what you do to them. it's a valid question though. people leave their bikes outside they leave them in the rain and snow they throw them in piles on each other outside of...

i was hoping for a response from you, that makes sense and gives me something to look out for on the new ones. this was apparently repaired at a tongsheng factory in Paris, enerprof said they are looking into getting me a replacement so fingers crossed that warranty holds up. i'll post some...

new one is on the way, from a vendor i've used before and trust. so much for the "buy local" crowd i'm sticking with aliexpress from now on lol.

soooooo long story short, there's a shop in Berlin i'd heard good things about so i decided to give them a shot on my next build. they have refurbished TSDZ2s for a bit cheaper than new ones and considering they came with a warranty i figured why not. i tried to power it up today after getting...

late to the party but if you are using it as a commuter then step through all the way. if you have to swing your leg up and over you will quickly learn how well your clothes really fit. on a mountain bike or something you will only ride while wearing spandex it doesn't really matter but wearing...

ok here's the probably-aliexpress-seat-marked-up-for-bol-resale in all it's glory. the tubes for the handle grip and backrest were preventing the carriage bolts from sliding into the upper range of it's "adjustability" so i had to remove the bottom plate and slide them over the top as shown in...

i will let you know in a few days, i went ahead and ordered one to try out. it looks like it secures with a pair of either wing nuts or those nuts with the big plastic handles, so not too difficult.

this is how i got into ebikes when i lived in texas. my jeep broke down and the shop told me it was going to be $1200 to fix it. it was an old 2006 grand cherokee that was barely worth $2000 so i said f*ck that and put the money into a bike. the initial investment on a bike can be steep but...

i'm thinking of trying out one of these duo seats that are made for bromfiets. i can't find anywhere that lists the dimensions but the rear rack of something like the puch maxi looks to be at least comparable to a longtail rack in width.

i've thought about doing this too, it would be a bit annoying to figure out but i could at least get a seat with some springs in it that i know would be comfortable. it's just weird to me how popular longtails are getting and there still aren't many good options for this.

i feel like this is the most important point. i see people doing tricks on actual dirtbikes and quads in downtown Amsterdam (very illegal) just as frequently as i see people on these "dirtbike style ebikes". on the flip side, most of my deliveries come to me by cargo bike. the appliance store...

as @JedidiahStolzfus mentioned, cars are heavily regulated, and in many areas it's rarely enforced. there's plenty of people driving tuned mitsubishis and chipped diesel trucks that are technically not street legal but that hasn't stopped any auto parts store from carrying parts for them. the...
