    Thannus Armour size for Ultimate 380

    Just shoot Tannus an email with your question. They will get back to you pretty quick with an answer. That's what I did. You can also buy the correct Tannus inserts with the correct size (smaller) tubes that you will also need from them.

    Abus Chain Lock Transportation

    Plenty of handlebar bags are available. I'm currently using the California Burrito Bag on all of my ebikes to carry my "kit" plus bike light and ABUS chain lock.

    Clamping onto a workstand

    Because of the tilting issue I clamp onto the top tube. Difficult to get clamped because of the weight of the ebike but I can keep the bike level when working on it.

    Looking for rear light suggestions

    I bought several cheap tail lights and they weren't that bright in daylight. I found the Cygolite Hotshot Pro at 150 lumens. Super bright and multiple flash modes along with steady on. Best one that I found.

    Handlebar bag reccomendation Turbo Vado (2021) with mount

    +1 on the Roadrunner Burrito Bags. I purchased the larger California Burrito Bag and it holds all of my repair kit, bike light and extra chain lock. Bought two more for my other ebikes. Rickshaw Bags makes several bike bags as well and various sizes (Bazooka Bag is a BIG bag).

    Caltrops

    Apparently someone is causing a dangerous situation at a popular biking area near me. They are placing / throwing 'caltrops' (small spikes) onto the bike lanes in an area near me that is very popular with bicyclists. This is in an area that I enjoy riding occasionally. These can cause serious...

    Hitch Rack

    From Rad Rover website the "5 weighs 65lbs. So technically, no that rack will not hold them. But.... you can remove the batteries to reduce the weight. Still, not sure how specific the rack is rated. I would think that they would hold a little more than spec'd but do you want to take a chance...

    Is a fold out Bke rack (hitch) worth the extra $$

    If you need access to the rear of an SUV or truck bed then yes a tilting rack is worthwhile. Have checked the Hollywood hitch racks?

    Paid big $ for a particular ebike with specific components from the seller. You did not receive what you paid for and what was advertised. You have the order and payment receipt. Good 'intensions' from the seller is not acceptable. A 2-3 week shipping time was given and it took 8 months to...

    Tucson, AZ, ban on ebikes riding the Loop

    You are talking about the government and politicians. Common sense does not apply. As far as the 'Loop' goes I think it's more of a 'who has more power/authority', i.e., city, county or state. Muscle flexing.
