If you don't care to pedal, I suppose that would work ok, Ole's son. But trying to use a throttle to provide partial power along with pedaling would probably be unsatisfying, because the throttle can be difficult to regulate for the amount of supplemental power you'd want. JMO.

Wow, o_O I just checked my LMT'D and it does look rather grubby down there! Not stuffed full of dirt like yours, but some mud has splattered the area. I guess I will clean it up and then cover that area with some Gorilla brand duct tape to keep the splashes away. Thanks for causing me to...

I used to be about a -13.25 with a -2.50 astigmatism. Fortunately I was able to get my eye lenses replaced (cataract surgery) and now only wear readers. So nice to be rid of those thick lenses. Optometrists and opticians really had a hard time believing how much "blur" I got (and how rapidly...

I ordered some progressive lenses from Zenni, and the lenses are useless. The progressive part changes too steeply and the viewing section is too narrow. But for single-vision lenses Zenni is fine. My wife got an exam and glasses at Costco. She complains that she doesn't see as well as she...

My advice: stick with the bike you have. Buying something else just to shed a handful of kg will not make enough difference to matter. However, if you come across a bike that feels as good or better, and you have enough money, and if you enjoy owning more bikes, I guess you should go ahead and...

How rude of the snake to stick out its tongue at you... lol.

When your ebike takes a dirt nap, you can rez it with your tools. ;)

What am I looking at here? Is that what rides on the surface, or is there a tire that fits into it, or.......??

The Ride1Up Roadster and the Propella 9s Pro come to mind. The latter has an adjustable stem so you can get that upright ride position, whereas for the Roadster you'd have to add a handlebar riser and probably some longer cables. Add a Kinekt seatpost or maybe just a spring seat (like a Cloud...

Wait... if you turn a gypsy vardo into a turbo vardo, what will the horses do? This vardo looks a lot heavier than 25.3 kg, btw.

How much did you have to pay that athletic looking guy to stand there and pretend to be you? :p

Spot on! :p

This writer caused me to remember that I, too, "once spent an entire seven years in a row as a teenager." I totally agree, we should encourage teens to ride our ebikes. I would be extremely happy to share my ebike with some teenage girl. We could take turns: I pedal for a while as she holds...

BTW, for a flashlight or headlamp with a bike flash mode, look for any that run the Anduril (preferably Anduril 2) user interface. The UI will let you set the type and brightness of the flash. Quite a few brands use this open-source UI software.

A helmet with built-in light has the same disadvantage as other multi-function stuff: if the helmet gets damaged the light becomes pretty much useless, and if the light stops working the helmet is no longer what it should be. Sort of like buying a CD/VCR combo machine in the old days, or a...

Hmm, makes me think about my electric mower's battery, out there in the shed. o_O

We cycle, and then we recycle....how apropos. ;)

"Riding an electric bike drops heart and cancer risks..." Although I wholeheartedly agree that riding is good for our health in a general sense, I would caution that correlation does not prove causation. I doubt that the study tracked the many other factors which could affect the study's...

Promising a new product so they can harvest down payments, which they turn around and use to buy & ship the previous product inventory. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. It almost sounds Ponzi-ish. The manufacturing capability is set up, so no doubt we'll see similar electric motorcycles offered by...

Any update on this? I hope they replaced the ebike for you.
