    Vado Derestriction

    Really sux that your bike is so crippled from the factory. So lame. Anyway, glad there’s a way forward for you.

    What is the deal with this bottom bracket / crank?

    Cool, Greg. I don’t know what motors are used by your bikes, but I’ve had a terrific experience with my Bafang H550 G062 rear hub motor which Juiced OEM’d for my bike. I even bought a spare (since Juiced went kaput) in case I need it someday, though I probably never will. It sits on my...

    What is the deal with this bottom bracket / crank?

    That magicycle is a clean machine! Very nice.

    What is the deal with this bottom bracket / crank?

    I was thinking that too, Harry. I’m not sure if they graft this box onto the frame or not. I noticed that earlier bikes by them do not have this compartment. Would love to see one in person just so I could take it apart and evaluate it. Yeah, maybe the idea is to have a multi-use frame where...

    What is the deal with this bottom bracket / crank?

    👍 Greg, if you have any pix of others like this, I’d like to see them… Are any of your bikes dual-motor? Thanks!

    Velotric Go 1 Spokes Sheared Off at Hub!

    Holy crap. Did you not hear lots of clicking/clacking from the wheel when riding? Did you adjust the spokes at all? Sorry, no idea about Velotric’s warranty or CS, but a bunch of folks around here own their products. Good luck.

    What is the deal with this bottom bracket / crank?

    Well, it’s really peculiar the way they engraved the box to (presumably) make it look like a motor? However, given that it’s a box for electronics, what I really don’t like about this is that the wiring for the rear motor/brake/etc. should route out the rear of the box instead of going out the...

    Sammich!

    Mickey Ds around these parts, Charge.

    PSA: warning about Juiced G2 battery casing

    John, FYI, I bought the bike so that I could ride in all conditions through the winter here in New England and I successfully did that this year. But salt/slush/snow/schmutz spraying into the battery caught me off guard and caused the fire. I’d just come of my local trail system and then...

    New X-Peak

    I do believe you, PC, but I’m having trouble imagining what the cause is. It’s gotta’ be something oscillating. Your step-thru fatty seems to have a properly secured rack (and no rear suspension). I think it might just be flex in the frame because of the construction. Why would a hand on the...

    New X-Peak

    That seems most likely.

    Grizzly bear attack in B.C.

    Interesting. I will note for the record that I’ve had some friends’ first-hand accounts of bear encounters where bear spray has not been useful. But, neither have bullets flown, so no comparison is needed. In any case, I don’t have to contend with grizzlies, which is a boon. Well, I may add...

    Sammich!

    Was it edible, spoke? That sounds nasty. On the other hand, I can think of nastier. Hey, fish love ‘em, right?

    Sammich!

    What would a bloody mary be without it! :) I’m not sure if I’ve ever used it in/on anything else though.

    Sammich!

    Kevin, where’d you grow up? I can tell you that in New York, onion and peanut butter do not show up together on any sammich combo I’ve ever seen. :D

    New X-Peak

    Do you know why, PC? I’m kind of curious about this phenomenon. Seems to me like it’s something that could be diagnosed. But, I’m talking completely from ignorance. FYI, I was going to put a spare battery on my rear rack on Fättie, but both spare batteries that I got are non-functional, so...

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Hey, Art… I struggle with some of the acronyms used here, but is “DTC” direct to customer?

    Grizzly bear attack in B.C.

    :D :D Living with bears is a fact of life now in many places — like my neighborhood — which never had them before. It’s just the way it is. Here’s a couple of pictures, below, of a youthful black bear traipsing through my back yard. What a beautiful animal! I border on a large amount of...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    I actually was going to do the laugh emoji on this, but that’s actually a serious concern, Bob. Does the guy carry some drink(s) when he rides with electrolytes at least? If he’s really out doing huge rides without some carbs in his system, he might be hurting himself. Just thinking out loud...
