My bike is quiet, 26" wheels and super moto x tires, not knobbies

So my typical ride goes through several neighborhoods with light traffic but relatively new smooth pavement. I was at the local gas station the other day and a guy in there recognized me as the guy on the bike that rides through his neighborhood and said. "It'd be a shame if something poked a...

What IS in the bill? 5 TRILLION dollar increase of the debt ceiling. This from the "fiscally responsible GOP"... Remember trump told us he'd eliminate the national debt last time he was president. Instead of doing that, he increased it by 40%... MAGA!

What's not in the big beautiful bill? EVERYTHING he promised working and retired people... Tax on tips, tax, tax on SS, tax on overtime? Nope none of it is in there.. MAGA!

Yep, I found I was riding my old Haibike with 250 watt Yamaha motor less and less. Actually I had expected more assist from the get go with that bike so it was always a disappointment. With the Ultra motor, life is good, no life is GREAT

Maybe the cheap aluminum got bent in shipping, I don't know but it wasn't going on the bike, it was not a narrow/wide chainring but many teeth differed from each other. Actually it was comical but what does one expect for 6 bucks, it might have been LESS, I don't remember. I see the wolf tooth...

I really don't see the need for throttle, at least with the ultra motor. I guess some like to start off from a dead stop with it. I'd also like to fit a 48T chainring. Mine is 44T and my cadence is pretty high at 25mph. Not sure if it would clear the chain stay and I'm having a hard time...

Really? God bless trump? SMH. Cheering for a guy that whipsaws the markets?

I think Pushkar sold a $1,000 miracle controller for the ultra that also added like 20% more range but I believe that also was uart. In any case, I'm quite used to my ultra and how it will react but the first few times starting w/ throttle or even pedal assist was just too much for me. Now...

I'll trade you my canbus for your uart :)

I wouldn't got THAT far but I know what you mean. My throttle is very sensitive. I really avoid using it but from a dead stop, even in 1st gear it wants to lift the front wheel. Actually even the pedal assist wants to lift the front wheel in 1st gear a little. I usually start out with no assist...

I try not to lug the motor on my 52v bafang ultra but it just wants to pull from any gear. It puts a smile on my face every time. I must be doing something right, after 1,500 mi. no chain stretch I can see on my chain checker (disclaimer, I'm sure there's some stretch but my gauge is too...

Price of gas SHOULD fall due to slower economic activity. The Saudi's also upped production, don't ask me why

If trump stays in office, those renewable energy numbers will fall, actually they've already fallen and will get worse. His "drill baby drill" campaign is comical, He promised to lower our engery cost by 50% in a year. How is that possible? by drilling? there's a point where drilling operations...

Solar is dead because the president doesn't like it.. 3,000% tariff on solar panels. No more wind turbines either, the president says they cause cancer and kill all the whales. This is warped reality we live in now yet the faithful still cheer.

When asked what "clean coal" was, trump responded. "They take it out of the ground and then they clean it"

My other hobby is RC airplanes. Not looking good there either as almost all of the RC stuff comes from China. Are any LEO's capable of actually checking the watt output from our motors? Seems to me just throwing a 750 watt sticker on anything would work

This all could end up being moot when the tariffs hit. Not sure the buying public will go for double the price of what ebikes are selling for now

My ebike is a class 3 and 1,000 watt bafang ultra motor. It's the Rize RX.. It LOOKS like a normal bike and despite the "illegal" power and the throttle, no-one has ever given me a hard time. I typically ride at less than 20mph but can go 35 if I feel like it which I really never do. To me...

Solid state is already here, it's just too expensivie to mass produce. Tariffs will send that technology back to the dark ages
