    Dog walking/running connectors that attach doggie-to-bicycle

    A dog teathered to a bicycle is a disaster waiting to happen!!!! I witnessed a crash in a campground where a gentleman was riding on the road with a dog on a leash held by one hand while on the bike. The dog moved one way or the other didn't see it but when I heard the noise and looked he was...

    28 mph is FAST!

    In my original post when I stated I found it unsettling to ride that fast I in no way was referring to the bikes performance, it is quite stable at any speed, I was pointing out my lack of ability at my age to ride that fast safely. I am 76 and a fall at that speed would most likely be my last...

    28 mph is FAST!

    NO bike trails where I live have never ridden on one, just roads and beach. Bike is plenty fast as here there is no traffic to keep up with! I have never seen a traffic jam. I ride the bike lanes where available but if there are no cars I just use the street lane as there is less debris that...

    28 mph is FAST!

    Set my mph setting on the controller to 28 mph today on my Evelo. Wanted to see if it indeed made a difference. I didn't get up to 28mph, I was using throttle only and flat road here in our Golf subdivision so good road, smooth, and no wind, well I got it to 26 mph and then it varied from 23 tp...

    Not getting what everyone is doing!

    OK guys I'm done, just wanted to back up my story, I follow Tesla racing and it will get even faster in the future. This is a stock auto with street tires and NO modifications! A little off track for a E bike forum but proves a point, the future is bright for E Power in many forms. Even Harley...

    Not getting what everyone is doing!

    I hear you, I had a big block Ford and new 2+2 Mustang and 409 Chevy in 62, they were loud and fast for their time, but you gotta admit sub 7 & 6 quarter times from a stock drive to work and pleasure car are pretty impressive,to say the least from a stock showroom model. He had a Coke sitting in...

    Not getting what everyone is doing!

    Yes the muscle cars make noise and smoke, Lot's of it! but while they are doing that the Tesla is at the trap and done,,,,,don't need to put noise into the Tesla because it's so far down the track the muscle car still sitting there will drown it out. Try hitting an on ramp and before you let up...

    Throwing your leg over an E-Bike

    Seems a trike would work for you too.

    Throwing your leg over an E-Bike

    I am 76 and never had a problem getting on the bike swinging my leg over even with the bag, for me the issue was dismounting. I would get in very unstable awkward positions trying to get off with the bike leaning way over, almost fell a few times and looked like an idiot so went with the step...

    Mine has the Enviolo Nuvinci system I think the new model for the 2019 year is coming with a fully automatic transmission a little different on the new bikes, probably more advanced , has a different looking control than mine which is a 2018 made in the old plant they have moved production now...

    Auto Electronic Shifting A Blast!!

    Whichever model the service is excellent, my first was the Galaxy TT and just couldn't' deal with the top tube, dang near fell over a few times trying to get off gracefully...only problem I had was battery rattle in the frame, rear rack, not a big deal but annoying. I replaced it with the Aurora...

    Throwing your leg over an E-Bike

    Reason I returned my first bike a top tube was just couldn't get off safely. My step thru has solved all the problems. You can hurt yourself while simply standing still if you get your leg caught or lose balance because of a weird set up, just a simple fall can break something and put you down...

    Not getting what everyone is doing!

    Also depends on how much time you want to spend on this kind of building and fooling with things, some love it, some like me and the Tesla lover above just want to GO! I have had no failures of any kind on my bike. By the way don't think anyone will build a car in their back yard that will outdo...

    handlebar shakes

    Something is amiss for sure, my step thru even at the occasional 28 mph does no shake at all. I would certainly find out before riding it though if something goes wrong that can cause loss of control it could be a disaster!
