    This is “normal”

    I have a brand new HD750 and it has had a horrible rattle and grinding noise since day one. it is so bad my daughter told me she can hear it while riding 100 yards behind me. at first I thought it was the bottom bracket, but I finally traced it down to the rear disc. The disc is bent...

    X3 Pro from Amazon arrived fine, but will only do 22MPH top speed.

    it has been my experience with all e-bike manufactures that the "top speed" is rated by having zero load on the bike, i.e. the rear tire is off the ground and you give it full throttle. no weight, no load, no resistance. advertised top speed will never be achieved once you add the rider...

    Switch front and rear hand brake

    for most bike the reason has front on the left, is that is the side the disc is on, so it makes for a shorter line from the front caliper to the handlebars with no cross over to the right side needed. all my e-bikes came in this configuration and since I ride a motorcycle I find it annoying...

    Trike came today.

    word of advice, if a package comes damaged, any package but most especially a bike that cost a couple grand, refuse the package based on the damage. you are not required to accept damaged goods and that holds the shipping company liable. the moment you accept the likelihood of getting any...

    Made a magnet on zazzle hoping to reduce theft

    so you think a thief will care? in all likelihood it will be a challenge for them to locate and disable. better to have the tracker and no indication of such then to broadcast it. I use a boomerang gps tracker on mine. I have a big sign on my locked back yard gates that says Beware of...

    Outlet timer and delay?

    understood. smart outlet would be the solution there. I have 2 e-bikes. my commuter and my weekender. I don't use my commuter for anything other than commuting. I don't want to have an accident or surprise issue on the weekend and not be able to use it to get to work, so for me this...

    Added rack, trouble getting on/off bike...

    get a dropper seat post. so you can drop the seat to its lowest position when getting off. then pop the switch to rise it back to its preset position. this way the seat is out of your way so you don't have to swing your leg as high to exit. I am 50 but have a replacement hip and with...

    Fortnine study: Are electric bikes more dangerous than motorcycles?

    yeah I have come up on teens on the bike path and "yelled on your left" and they freak out and move left. if I say "move to the right" they go left or stop. and some are driving age, which scares the hell out of me because they might be also driving cars with this complete lack of awareness.

    I have commuted over 6,000 miles in the last 8 months on my e-bike without any issues. I have been riding motorcycles for 35 years. pretty simple. USE COMMON SENSE. follow the rules of the road as if you were in a car or on a motorcycle that means STOP for stop signs, STOP for red...
