    Ridekick instead of multiple bikes?

    I used a ridekick for two years with a recumbent trike and found it to be quite up to the job. At the time I was about 180 lbs and the teratrike that I rode weighed probably 40 lbs give or take a few pounds. The range was 10 miles and speed on flat or small Phoenix area hills was 12 mph. Not...

    New type of Electric Vehicle

    That's definately a scooter. Registration, insurance, a license maybe and restrictions on where you can ride. Would be good to ride in rural areas where there are less restrictions and cops though.

    Safety and bike lanes

    Until I bought my neon orange fat bike and lit it up like a Christmas tree, I would have at least two unintentional attempts on my life a day. Now it is only two a week.

    where to buy ebike without pedals?

    I hate videos for ebikes that show the riders only using the throttle and never pedaling. It sends the wrong message to regular cyclists and lawmakers. Law makers think that we're exploiting a loophole to get around the law and nonmotor cyclists think that we'll make things bad for them by...

    Bottle Cage vs Rear View Mirror

    There are no bottlecage bosses on my bike so I added a mirror to the handlebars and velcro bottlecage to each side of the fork. Problem solved and no one got hurt.

    Are throttles the devil?

    Just saying that you were starting to sound like a recording and maybe you should let that thought go for now. Try not to get so defensive and jump down my throat for making an observation.

    First Flat on my Fat Tire :( What is best?

    They are kind of touchy about that but it's more about insurance than protecting trade secrets. Beeline bikes however will come to you when you want and depending on the tech may let you watch. I've used them several times when I had no time to spare for the lbs and found them to be comparably...
