I served as an anti war activist in the late 60's through the early 70's. Hopefully we helped stop that atrocity.

Thanks. Do you replace both the cassette and chainring at the same time?

My 2020 Rad Rover ST has a little over 4,000 gentle miles on it. I've replaced the chain once and both clean and lube fairly often. I have the tool to measure chain wear so know when I need a new chain. As far as I can tell though there is no way to measure cassette wear. I watched a couple of...

I thought of that too which is one of the reasons I added the little gadget so I only use my thumb to activate the twist throttle.

I thought that too but then realized that throttles twist backwards not forwards.

I just did a search for fun trying to find if most throttle equipped bikes use twist or thumb. If they are mostly twist I thought that might explain more mishaps but I didn't find that info. Did find this though. https://reallygoodebikes.com/blogs/electric-bike-blog/twist-vs-thumb-throttle

Interesting. So what happens if you accidentally hit a thumb throttle while moving a bike with the motor on? For what it's worth, the first thing I do when I'm done riding is lower the kickstand and turn off the battery. Then I push it threw the door into my garage or, if not home, move it to...

Curious why you say Rads throttle is dangerous? Never had a problem with mine. I did sort of turn it into a thumb throttle by adding a cheap ring that I work with just my thumb as I find it easier to use than twisting it with my wrist.

That's where a throttle rules. I can be in whatever gear I choose when I come to a stop and then use a second or two of throttle to get rolling again. Pretty much the only reason to use one.

Have you tried balancing the battery?

That was your third crash there? Maybe think about slowing down?

A similar thing happened to me a few years ago but, rather than write a negative note I called and talked to them and they credited my account.

That can be a problem on the trail I ride on. Signs say class 1 only and 20 MPH speed limit. Problem is 20 mph is too fast on 90+% of the trail. When you have a downhill section with plenty of curves that you can't see around, what are you going to do when you go around said curve at speeds...

Are there any ebikes sold in the USA with a motor cutout at 15?

I wonder why a lot of motorcycles use them then?

Other than checking the bike for tire pressure, brakes, etc. I don't do anything. My rides are roughly 20 miles.

Interesting thread. Makes me glad I chose a hub drive.

There's an EBR passcode?

That's not the case with Rad bikes. However just turning off the battery on any bike doesn't mean someone can't ride it away. It just means they have to pedal harder.

Desantis called it a 500 year flood. What will he call it when it happens again in a few years? Truth is, unless we do better, many places will simply be uninhabitable in the future.
