    NYC PSA E-bike Battery Fires 11/11/22 NBC News

    A lot of the RC helicopter guys use a charging bunker make out of cement blocks. They are readily available at Lowes and Home Depot and are cheap.

    Frame wraps

    I installed the clear PPF on both our new Levos. It was a pain in the ass and didn’t come out perfect. I’d hate to try and do that one.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Thanks Ravi, I’ll look at that one too. My wife and I are gonna ride our Vados to dinner tonight. We tried using them for the hilly single track near my house and it didn’t go so well. My wife went over the handlebars. My fault of course lol.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Good morning, I’ll look at the Evo also. $250 and being able to move it to other bikes is definitely a plus. We’ve already got helmet lights. My wife won’t be bombing the downhills and I probably won’t either. It hurts too much, for too long when I crash at 60 years old lol.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Okay thanks, I’ll look at that one too. We also have Vados, so I’m new to this light shopping thing. The lights I dug out of storage from when I rode when I was younger are all junk compared to the new LED stuff.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Wow that’s amazing. I saw it in the summertime. I still remember the guy outside the hotel there wearing the Lederhosen (sp?). There was also a lady playing a harp inside the hotel and a dog asleep by her feet. Ahhh, what great memories, thanks! I need to buy two Lupines, one for me and...

    Two great rides in Ventura City.

    Sorry no photos. From Ventura to Carpinteria is all bike path or bike lane, alongside the ocean until you get into Carpinteria. There’s about 200 yards where the bike path puts you on the 101 freeway. We kicked it into Turbo mode, I didn’t like being alonside cars doing 70mph. Teddys is a...

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    I just looked at the Supernova online. I like how they have a shroud around it making it look like it was made with the bike. Do you know if they have one for the 2022 Specialized Levo?

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    -20* huh? I’ve never felt what that’s like, I’m in Southern California. I’ve been to Lake Louise on a Harley trip with some friends from work, it was spectacular. The best price I’m finding for the Lupine X is $420 and I can probably do the installation myself after watching the YouTube...

    Two great rides in Ventura City.

    We love that ride. Usually stop in Carp at Teddys for lunch. Six of us did the ride from Ventura to Ojai, spent the night in a hotel, then back the next day. Good times!

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Anyone have real world experience with this light on this bike? Ive watched all the YouTube videos, and emailed Lupine North America a couple times. Im done messing around with junk or cheap lights. My wife rides night Mtb with me and is nervous when she can’t see because of cheap lights...

    Turbo Vado Tubeless?

    Wife and I have 2019 Vado 3.0’s, with tubes. We just got new Levos and paid $20-ish each to have them converted to tubeless. Can our Vados be changed to tubeless? If so, ballpark price? It’s sure easy to pull out a thorn and spin the tire instead of sitting on the side of the roadway with...

    Garage stand for emtb

    How about making one out of 1” PVC? Some straight pieces and a few elbows and some blue glue.

    Pre-sales advice: Vado 4.0 for Seattle hills?

    My wife and I are 60 years old, but in fairly good shape for that age. Two years ago we bought Vados, I think they are the 3.0’s. You will have no problem climbing any hill, if you shift to 1st gear and use the highest motor assist. We ride around Ventura, CA and there is a very steep hill...

    Any jetski owners on these forums?

    I just bought the Kawasaki SXR 1500. It's a stand-up jet ski. I've had several sit down types in the past.

    Pannier for Vado

    I just bought a set of Ortlieb panniers for my Vado and my wife's. They clip on in just a couple of seconds and fit well. They are very well made and waterproof. Well worth the money if they will work for you.
