    Is it ok to ride on restricted trails if you take off the battery

    Let's say a trail is restricted to non motorized bikes, if you take off your battery and put it in a pannier or leave it at home, are you legal?

    Totally Modern EBike

    We don't yet know the full story of the giga factory, already there are plans for home batteries. Perhaps production at such high volumes will bring prices down across the board. Tesla batteries are readily broken down, home batteries will be bigger with more cells. Imagine Tesla got into...

    Bike Ratings on EBR

    On a serious note, you can use the whoo test. If during the test ride portion of the video review Court goes whoo, you know that the bike is sufficiently powered. Did the other bikes you are considering get a whoo? If not, well you have some new insight. I'm not sure if a bike ever got two...

    Due to arrive in March

    Thanks for answering my typo Lenny and Lilrich. I could possibly use one to get to the metro and then from the metro to my office. Makes a whole lot more sense now.

    Totally Modern EBike

    Hi, As a thought exercise, if you were designing a state of the art ebike from scratch what would you include? Her are some things I would like to see.. 1. Uses smart phone as a native interface. This allows for third party interfaces for starters. Phone is color, smart, updates over...

    How to safely start pedaling when feet don't touch ground?

    Not having your feet touch the ground is really not a big issue once you are used to it. You will automatically sip off the seat to stabilize yourself. I have a well ridden Neo Jet and it has been flawless other than a rear flat which requires some tools to change. That Evo Street looks...

    How to safely start pedaling when feet don't touch ground?

    Turning the pedals so you can get them spinning like in your video works as long as you are in a low enough gear. On my Neo Jet I find that the assist is not that overwhelming when coming from a stop and it it does catch you off guard you can always pull the brakes and cut out the motor. This...
