    On The Road Repairs

    I set up mine near my workbench and rigged up a 2X4 that slides out of the bench and clamps to the frame if I want to steady the bike although I rarely use it. I like that system as I can lift the bike to any height I want for convenience.

    On The Road Repairs

    Sounds like the foam would take up more space in your bag than the jacks.

    Crap Stuff you Bought

    Interesting. I find handlebar jacks work great when I need to remove a wheel.

    Consumer Reports: Ebike Fires

    Not Ebike but.... $25,000 fine seems low considering the damage. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/lithium-ion-batteries-ignite-three-230000180.html

    Consumer Reports: Ebike Fires

    "It seems there have to be a bunch of deaths before anyone has the stomach to push for a fix." Hmmmm, not so far in the firearm industry.

    Consumer Reports: Ebike Fires

    Perhaps I'm not remembering it correctly but the stories I read seem to be about some enterprise where someone is charging a bunch of batteries at the same time rather than an individual charging his own battery before going for a ride.

    Broke my chain into two pieces? WTF

    Is it possible the master link somehow got disconnect and then the other link broke when it got wrapped around something?

    Consumer Reports: Ebike Fires

    If a battery burns there is nothing left to analyze to determine if it was the battery or human error. Was it damaged and they tried to charge it anyway? Were they using the wrong charger? Seems to be too many variables to blame it on an inexpensive battery if there is no way to determine why...

    Consumer Reports: Ebike Fires

    No they are not bad to use. I still buy and use corded. Lawnmower, String Trimer, poll saw, and blower. Not only are they a fraction of the cost of battery power, they are all more powerful than battery power and I won't have to spend a pile of money to replace batteries (assuming they are...

    E-Trace At the crossroads of sled and e-mountain bike, e-trace is for everyone

    Curious about the last one on the list. Exactly how much fun is a pedal powered soapbox?

    Rad Power Bikes RadTrike Reviews

    Not for me but seems nice for what it is. Probably good for making deliveries as it handles quite a bit of weight.

    Old Newby

    73 here. I sold my last motorcycle a few years ago because I just lost interest in riding it. I bought a Rad Rover in 2020 and found I love riding it. In 2021 I added a Rad Mini as it's much easier to transport if I want to ride a ways from home. Of the two though I like the Rover much better...

    Article Discussion: E-Bike Plague Hits State Parks

    The problem as I see it is too many people doing the same thing in the same place. That's true in the big picture as in 8 billion people are too many and are destroying the planet. Too many surfers in one part of the ocean or too many bikers on one trail is the same concept. Personally I...

    Non-removable Battery

    There are EBikes with non removable batteries? That makes no sense at all. When the battery wears out the whole bike goes in the trash?

    How important is having a local bike shop?

    example? Plus it kinda depends on how expensive the tool.

    How important is having a local bike shop?

    No bike shops where I live so I had no choice. I did find that there are lots of how to videos that cover just about anything regarding ebikes. So far I've managed OK with things like tire, brake, & chain repair/replacement as well as basic adjustments and installing various accessories. The...

    OK. So it seems you answered your "Is it worth it" question before you asked it.
