    We need to stop blaming victims in bike theft!

    So I just had my beautiful e-bike stolen. It was my vehicle to get to work, it was my play toy to ride at the HydroCut here in Kitchener, it was my way to let off steam. I was so sad when I saw the guy grab it then spin it around and bike away while I chased them down the street But for some...

    I'm sure also I am already looking at a new bike hopefully it stays in stock https://www.biktrix.ca/pages/monte-capro-lite I'm wondering if anybody can notice what I decided to do when choosing this bike??

    The police went around and tried to find video footage. they have a picture of it that you distributed to the rest of the department but there's been nothing. I did get a text message from one of the people at the homeless shelter and they said they haven't seen it but they'll keep their eye...

    One thing I have learned from this is insurance is good and make sure you have the proper coverage for the cost of your bike. not all insurance will cover such a high value item without proper coverage. I just bumped mine 3 months ago to cover items up to 10K it was only 5K before. Also if you...

    I walked into Burger King for 3 minutes to get a hamburger. no lock. I had a wedged in against a garbage can I could visually see it so I thought it was safe enough that I could run out in time. I literally watch the person grab it, flip it out, turn it around by the time I was at the door. he...

    So here's a nice punch to the face, I took my bike out for a ride yesterday because it was one of the warmest days in November on record in our area. I took it out. It was lunch time and I ran in quick to get a hamburger and my bike was gone. It really changes my mind about using an e-bike in...

    This bike looks like it would shake your brain with every little bump. Not sure I could live without a full suspension now that I have one.

    Wait maybe I am not understanding. I thought you said it failed that's why I was confused!! Sorry I misunderstood what you said. This makes more sense to me and I love the idea and In Kitchener, Ontario Downtown they are doing somewhat the same here!

    That's crazy I have to park 3 blocks away normally and walk to any store on my main street downtown. If it was closed to traffic I don't know how that would change. Most of our downtown parking is behind the building or a parking structure. I wonder why this would be such a change?

    that sucks, how would people driving by make a difference to a store in downtown?

    I think every town should close down their downtown main street. there's no parking on it anyways. and if there is parking there's parking for maybe 50 cars max. everyone always has to go to the back parking lots to park. Just close all the streets and make it one big walkway...

    To me it's a simple argument that everyone clouds up with different things.. ebikes are electric bicycles. Bikes must have 2 wheels, carries 1 passenger, has peddles that WORK to move the bike. Everything else is not a bike and should not fall under BIKE laws. If you have a cargo carrier, that...

    100% disagree with this statement about killing someone. It would not matter. So what happens if you are on a 500w bike going down hill and hit 45 km/h and you kill someone? Are you all of a sudden guilty? A case would have to be made that the speed caused the death. yes a 1000w bike COULD go...

    Kinds of ebike throttles.

    sorry I completely forgot to update this post. I ended up finding a good one on Amazon and it works amazing and works with the connectors that I have https://a.co/d/djaUi2L it works really well and I actually like this way better.

    Mine is a peddle assist with torque sensing. I don't think I would want an e-bike without torque sensing, it's like intelligent peddling. and then I always love having a throttle on the bike. I have honestly never tried the half twist hand throttles as I was told by a few users it's very...

    Thanks for the feedback! and yes I agree even with my bike I thought I wanted to go faster but what I really wanted was torque. anything above 42 km/h is scarry as s*it on a bike. you wipe out it's going to hut bad for a long time. But what I do like is going 35 km/h and having a peppy bike that...

    How do you keep rust of your bike/bolts/parts

    I dont fully wash it down but I rinse it to get dirt off the chain and moving parts. I ride this thing in the Hydro Cut in Waterloo, a huge mountain bike trail system here. I do commute with it but I also ride mine hard in the trails, and that's when I rinse it down not after a city commute!

    How do they impose wattage and class limits now?? They dont.. unless they have to because people are complaining or police see you doing dumb stuff. Same will hold true for speed governance on the bike. I could care less about speed limits on a road or trail. They dont need them the bike needs it

Now i have rust spots in my bolt heads on my befang m620 my chain is...
