You know what they say... pictures, or it didn't happen! ;) Nah. I believe ya.

Don't some mfrs feel that a brake sensor was helpful for telling the motor to stop driving the bike when a person wants to stop? ☺️ Didn't know this could turn into a pissing contest: "My ebike has more sensors than yours!" 🤣

And no swimmers, obviously. o_O But yes, a pretty view. Especially with all the little "ice cubes" floating in the "drink." :cool:

Yes, class 3. The controller will allow it to be set as high as 32 mph, but I am no speed freak so I haven't tried that. I have changed the PAS settings a bit, though; they're all user settable (how many PAS levels, and percent power for each level).

My Ride1Up LMTD ST with 750W rear hub will hold 21-22 mph on throttle, on the level or on a mild upward incline. Oddly, if I ghost pedal it will go faster still. I'm satisfied with a rear hub. Less expense than mid drive is the main advantage. But one time the chain flipped off just as I...

What brand is that mirror? Looks somewhat easier to get the desired adjustment than the one I have.

Skinned knee, a rite of passage for every child. :)

👍 Now you can sneak up on those pedestrians! (Or not.) :D

My nearby LBS looked at my R1Up and said it looked good quality. They said no problem working on it. R1Up has 3 models under $1500 (mine's currently listed at $1700 though). Besides, many owners are handy enough to do their own repairs... they even can do a lot of fixing on a cheap ebike like...

We are all under such pressure nowadays! :D

Darn those little stinkers!

I have a Ride1Up LMTD. Differences that stand out in comparison to the Mokwheel: mine weighs 20+ lb less and has 2.3" tires, no fenders or rack, and the battery is somewhat smaller. Otherwise fairly similar. I've read that 4" tires tend to feel like they want to steer themselves (not as...

Have you looked at the WI trails listed on Traillink.com yet?

It's not that I don't know about euro-region number format, it's that I am making fun of it! 😘

Some bike shops simply have an attitude: if you want us to service your ebike, do us the courtesy of buying it from us; otherwise forget it. I test rode a couple of ebikes at a shop like that and they told me right at the start what their policy was (they didn't know me from Adam, so how could...

In addition to riding, I now play pickleball 2-3 times per week and I occasionally walk (typically about 45 minutes). If you have any pickleball courts near you, I suggest trying the sport. It's fun, good exercise, and rather addictive. There are an 80 year old and a 90 year old who also play...

Speaking of Cowboy, I just looked at their web page and was noting their price, €2.990 . Don't those Europeans know basic math symbology? (I was a math teacher.) In mathematics, everything to the right of a decimal is fractional (less than 1). Thus, I should be able to buy a new Cowboy for...

Wherever bikes (or ebikes) are rented, they will charge what the market will bear. If they have enough customers paying the asked rental price, they aren't charging "too much" even though I might not be willing personally to pay it. On the island they have a sort of captive audience of people...

Early May? Geez, I hope you had your winter coats! :) The island always seemed about 10 degrees (F) cooler than the mainland.

The local governing body (town council or whatever) have the right to do what they did, I won't dispute that. Sorry to see it come to that, but it is what it is. Glad I didn't have time to take the ferry ride to the island last month while I was in Michigan; I would have wanted to take the...
