    Recommendations anyone? Offroad Mountain e bike

    I'm scheduled for a knee replacement this December and have been trying to sell my Husqvarna 300 for a while now. At this point, I’m considering trading it in and getting an e-bike instead. The catch is—I don’t really know much about them. I have access to both Specialized and Husqvarna e-bikes...

    Engwe L20 Boost Problem

    Hi Can anybody help, please? The pedal assist on my new Engwe L20 Boost seems faulty to me. All the levels 1 - 5 feel the same on flat ground or going uphill. I stay at the same speed and the pedaling force remains the same. I have to use the boost mode on hills. Any idea what the problem could...

    Some thoughts on using an ebike for Z2 training

    Yes, you can use the assist on an e-road bike to help stay in Zone 2 on steep climbs. That’s one of the great advantages of e-bikes for training. By adjusting the assist level, you can reduce the strain on climbs and keep your heart rate from spiking, allowing for more consistent Z2 riding even...

    Does anyone have suggestions for a better battery?

    For a 30-mile range with your 1500W motor, I recommend a 52V 30Ah or 52V 35Ah battery. This will provide the capacity needed to handle the power draw and give you the range you're aiming for. Look into batteries like the 52V 30Ah Hailong or consider a custom-built 52V 35Ah battery pack for extra...

    Experience with hub-drives with BOTH torque- and cadence-sensing assist?

    Hi. I moved from a KTM e Cross P to a KTM Bosch-driven bike and missed my torque sensor and experience of the hub drive despite the pitfalls of design. I find up steep hills I have to keep my cadence high to get up. These are very steep hills mind does anyone know of any bikes with a combination...

    Transporting Cargo eBikes (specially Dutch style)

    I have looked at cargo e-bikes several times but I've never been willing to pull the trigger. My problem is "how do you transport one of these things? Sooner or later you have to take it to a shop for service, right? Are there bike racks able to handle the longer wheelbase of cargo bikes?

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    In U.S. states where cannabis is legal, you buy it from licensed dispensaries, not backstreet dealers. These shops have full menus with different strains, edibles, concentrates, and even hash in some places. Everything is lab-tested, labeled with THC/CBD percentages, and free from contaminants...

    Trailer Hitch

    can anyone provide suggestions for a hitch to carry bikes behind my Airstream. 2014 25' International. I viewed a company out of Washington state which sells hitches specifically for Airstream. However, I've heard to be aware of hitches causing stress on the interior floor. Is this true? I have...

    Delite4/Superdelite carrier and range queries.

    The Superdelite is the better choice for range (1125Wh) without stressing frame mounts. The Delite4’s carrier is sturdy but flexy under heavy loads, and the Powermore 250 sacrifices framebag space. Lifting a 30kg+ bike over gates will be tough—consider a light eMTB with bikepacking bags if...

    Longshot: RAL color codes for red R&M frame enamel?

    If Riese & Müller (R&M) and their official shops can't provide the RAL codes, your best bet is to get a spectrophotometer reading from a local automotive or professional paint shop. Many auto body shops or specialty paint stores can scan a sample from your bike and match the color precisely...

    Clothing complaint

    Sizing inconsistencies are frustrating because there's no universal standard across brands. Each brand has its sizing system, which can vary based on target market, design, and material. Even the same size label in one brand may fit differently in another due to these factors. It's best to check...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    For a Supercharger 2, a 230mm (9-inch) or longer U-lock is ideal to accommodate the thick tubing and reach the rack. The Abus Ultra 410 might work, but the Abus Granit X-Plus 540 (300mm version) or Kryptonite New York U-locks offer better clearance. Test the fit on your intended rack, and...
