For those who have ridden up hills on both a hub and a mid drive, how do they compare in terms of how easy and quick they are to make it up the hill? I have a 750W geared rear hub with (IIRC) 90 Nm torque, and torque sensor at the crank. Thinking of getting a Bosch mid drive with 250W, 65 Nm...

Are other folks noticing some good prices on ebikes lately? Especially on preowned ones? When I bought my ebike a year or so ago, it seemed like anything with a big-brand-name mid drive was at least $3,000. But I was in my LBS this week and they had a Scott Sub Active, which has the Bosch mid...

Here's another, taken at the west end of Dauphin Island. They have a nice MUP stretching from one end of the island to the other (about 6 miles).

Last week I camped for 5 nights on the Gulf coast, in the Gulf Islands National Seashore and on Dauphin Island. Here's a panoramic pic from Ocean Springs, MS.

How about if I accept causality and I accept free will, too? :)

88 lbs with battery? Yikes, that's heavy. I guess he'll get a workout. FWIW I have been satisfied with my Ride1Up LMTD ebike. Looking at their page I see they no longer carry that model, but for 2 grand they have the mid-drive Prodigy which will have torque sensing (which is way more natural...

Mayorga will send samples. I tried that dark Cubano decaf. Definitely didn't care for it (I've since found that I prefer light roasts), but I have to say the flavor is really distinctive. Sort of like char on a grilled steak. The other one I tried was the Honduras Capucas decaf and it seemed...

You should try several other mistresses! One of them might please you better! ;)

I do not (and would not) cycle in order to "endure difficulty" or to "suffer." 😝 That is crazy talk if you ask me! I ride because I want to enjoy the ride. Whoever thinks that the goal is to suffer.... well, I would like to invite him over so I can administer some "endurance" taser sessions 😵‍💫...

Thank you for posting that! You made me wonder what in the world this 'reader view' is (I have FF but was unaware). A quick search, and now I'm up to speed on how to use 'reader view'! You da man!

I've noticed that my travel speed through the air is related to my battery usage. Going faster (or against a strong headwind) reduces my range. Easy, leisurely pedaling contributes to longer range, similar to how driving an automobile at a slower speed on the highway will add range. This is...

Hmm, does this ebike rebate have full suspension or only front suspension? :p

Yep. Every one of us has a 100% probability of taking a dirt nap at some point, but hardly anyone prepares for it.

Been riding in upper 60s and low 70s here this week. These winters are so-o-o-o hard to take... :D

It is 35 degrees warmer in my refrigerator than it is outdoors here! Brrrrr!

Remember all those tasks you said you'd do when Hell freezes over? Well, hop to 'em. Current weather and forecast: Hell, Michigan

Sounds like it's your own as-phalt. :D

;)

Quite the trek to your eventual opening! I never would have guessed it'd take that long. Someone on an RV forum experienced loss of pressure to their indoor LP heater (they have 11 lb tanks, so you can imagine!) in the middle of the night. For the future they rigged up a pvc exhaust extension...

That's too bad. They make great "redneck fuses." As an added bonus, they produce an audible alarm when they overload. ;)
