    Goodbye to biking

    My 2021 5' bed Ranger weighs 5300# with a full tank on the town scrap scale. You think your F-150 is lighter?

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    I've found that upside down is the easiest way to pull a mid-drive motor.

    Got my 15yo son the Wired predator. Did i make a mistake?

    We had a kid about 12 and his Dad come into the shop yesterday. He wanted to borrow a hex key set to adjust the new electric dirt bike that he bought for him. This was not a Sur-Ron or Super73, this was a full blown, full sized (125cc MX sized) dirt bike, except it was electric. Moms may be the...

    RideWithGPS

    Yes. There is a section of the Central MA rail trail, I forget where it is, that is basically an overgrown brush path. RWGPS will take me off of the state highway and try and put me on this path. On a road bike with 25's. Not only would my bike have been a mess, I'd be covered in ticks. No thanks.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    So you don't need or want ride data during the race?

    That's how it should have been handled.

    An F-150 is on the order of three tons 😅

    True Love in Color

    I'm not a shop employee, I'm an independent contractor. I bring my own tools for a number of reasons, and I'm the only mechanic that does. I have way more tools than this at home in the rollaway, and I don't bring any of my classic and collectable bike tools other than a few freewheel tools. All...

    I was thinking a high powered e-MTB with a Topeak Terra Rack and panniers.

    That's a great looking tool. However, I need to stop buying tools.

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    At the shop, we have both Park PRS-33 and a Unior version 1 lifts, both bolted to the floor, for e-bikes. At my normal workstation, I have a Park PRS-3 with the baseplate. If I'm working on a "lightweight" e-bike on my stand, we've got a rather large linebacker sized mechanic who will help me...

    I both crashed hard and successfully evaded the POPO.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I honestly don't know. It was set up this way by default. I start the planned ride by choosing the course and starting the ride. I leave the nav screen up to get the ride recording. Then I switch to the data screen. From that point on, the screens switch on their own. Although I have never...

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    My main concern would be the construction of your roof. I would reinforce those 2x3's or whatever those roof joists are by adding a truss board on each side of those existing three trusses. Plywood would be best, but a 2x6 like the others would work. I'd use either 1/4" or 3/8" lag screws...

    Man, that's terrible. Maybe the eMTB arms race will eventually catch up to you and provide something that will work down the road.

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    I never, at home or at the shop, clamp a bike to any bike tube. Always the seatpost. If it needs to be extended, I'll mark the position with a loop of electrical tape. My dual battery Tesoro weighs a little less than your R&M, but the second battery is a frame battery which is easy to remove...

    RideWithGPS

    Once I stopped riding with the club in western MA, I set RidewithGPS up for friends only. I don't ride with groups here yet. Riding the rail trail here can be mind-numbingly boring for the most part, interrupted with bits of incredible beauty. I do not trust myself riding on main roads here...
