    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    Seems many misread the title of this thread. It is, paraphrasing: "Please give suggestions if you know of an ebike with a certain set of features" I guess I could have titled it "Please give suggestions if you know of an ebike with these features and Keep your opinions in some other thread if...

    I wouldn't and there are probably many others in Europe who are excluded due to absurd rules

    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    People who think a throttle isnt neccessary have never had a health problem and only see an ebike as a toy for exercise. I see an ebike as a tool for transportation.

    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    I have a suspension fork and suspension seatpost and like them both so much I want even more of that. If I had a fully suspended bike, I would use my suspension seatpost also.

    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    My area is so flat I dont want or need a mid drive. Can you even ghost pedal a mid drive?

    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    I read that thread. All of them are mid drives, expensive. All but one was fat tired. Seems the moped guys solved the equation long ago and the ebike designers dont get it. All I want is a comfortable ride and thick, narrow, reliable tires.

    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    Im looking for a full suspension, step through commuter ebike. Commuter means a throttle, class 3, and NOT fat tires. The most popular vehicle in history (Honda Super Cub) has 17"x2.25" tires so I think 20" x 2.25" are the closest bike sized tires. Hub drive and cadence PAS are preferred.

    Cold (ish) Battery Charging Cumulative Damage?

    The manual for my batteries says not to charge them below 50F. My garage is currently 51F, so is there any cumulative effect of charging the batteries at close to the minimum temperature repeatedly?

    Class three bike with speed restriction feature?

    Ride1Up lets you customize many settings that are fixed on other bikes. My 500 bike is the discontinued economy version of the 700. You can change the number of PAS levels and each levels strength. The throttle is programmable up to 28mph. There is a global speed limit setting I've never...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    If you had room for a slow moving vehicle sign on the back of a cargo bike would you use one? Would it be appropriate if moving at 28mph...

    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    I just bought one of these for the garage, but I might bring it along sometimes. It was $30 and I already own a small Ryobi battery. The pump weighs 0.61kg and the 1.3Ah battery weighs 0.43kg so 1.04kg total. It is very fast for a bike tire, it can fill truck tires on youtube. The chuck seems...

    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    Experimenting with different tires, I have swapped tires 7 times and never flipped over my Xpedition. Four different tires on the front, and 5 on the back including the originals. Mine came with a double kickstand so it balances if I put weight in the rear basket. I have also used a bungee cord...

    Bicycle helmet safety testing, interesting technical study

    Stefan I see what you meant. The WayBackMachine says my Tactic and Align helmets were rated 1st and 9th two years ago. Now they are 4th and 17th.

    60Ah Ebikes

    Wallke, Eahora, and Aniioki sell 60Ah ebikes. Are there others? Which one is the best quality, and has the best support? I ask because these bikes seem even more proprietary, and less reliable than bigger brands like Lectric or Rad.

    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    I have tried 4 different tires on the back of my Xpedition, always using the OEM tube. I have had no problems and just passed 1400 miles.I am currently using Mitas 2.25-16" moped tires. I noticed my Lectric trike uses the same tubes as the Xpedition despite the narrower (1" vs 2") rims and...
