No - I can't justify spending $4 grand- I'm not the resort type. I've seen them about 50 times, so I've gotten my fill and will wait. In spring 2019 I caught the New York shows (Madison Square Garden, the Nassau shows), and the 4 Cali shows (Los Angeles and San Francisco)! Good times! I wish...

No.... only when wind is to my back can I hit anything above 28. Maybe my fat ass is responsible? I don't throttle from the start, I typically pedal as it helps me get my bearing as to what gear I'm in- once I hit 20 all I hear is wind and can't hear anything else. I can hit 20 mph...

In the works!!!! The bike has no headbadge. I'm thinking of something like this for a headbadge (or a picture of the terrapin playing a banjo) but it needs the red, white and blue to show my USA love! I also need to find someone to weld it on so it can't be pried off...

This is my first ebike. My previous bikes were analog road bikes, usually Cannondales with 105s. So I can't really compare to anything else, which may spoil me. The left trigger is to shift up to a harder resistance and the left goes down. Similar to the 105s, you can do one click for one...

I wanted to show off my new toy. It's got a kindernay, unrestricted, 2300 watt ultra. I've ridden it about 80 miles now. I have a 13 mile commute (working remotely but I'll be going back to work full time soon) with about 200 feet climbing each way, so pretty flat (I'm still working remote so...

I'm likely confused. So I am tinkering with my new UC pro- destrestricted controller, 2300 watt ultra, kindernay. I rode for a week in eco and I ride on a long stretch of places where there's no cars, traffic or anyone and I can really open it up. In Eco I was hitting 28 mph, and yesterday I...

There is a great documentary on Amazon or Netflix on trees. We think of them in abstract ideas of possible fuel or utility, but they have evolved profound symbiotic systems that we still are understanding. One expert explained that fungus acts as a conduit between trees- if one tree needs to...

https://www.calbike.org/transportation-committee-endorses-e-bike-affordability/ The bill got a unanimous support in the Transportation Committee, but the biggest hurdle is explicitly finding the $10 million to fund it.

It just seems silly to me that Musk can gloat that he has an electric car in development that he says will go zero to 60 in 2 seconds and is street legal but oh, a full one watt crosses a border between safe and a bike being a danger to the community. We accept one as a norm because of...

Anyone know what kind of mineral oil to use? I received a Watt Wagon bike (the UC Commuter Pro, it's an amazing bike and I'll review it after a few more rides) with a Kindernay and I will get to the break in oil change in a few weeks. I just don't want to muck up the IGH with the wrong oil...

Saw this on Reddit and thought I'd paste it here. Not sure if it is posted already... "We are a student team at California State University Fullerton who are doing market research for a new Battery startup for one of our classes. The startup is developing a new type of Lithium Battery for...

There is a great pod cast- War on Cars. If you can sit in on a convo with them or get them to do something on your topic, that might create something interesting as a springboard or a frame of reference. Doug is brilliant. https://www.patreon.com/thewaroncarspod

My wife is Indonesian, from Bandung! We live in Los Angeles. Bali is a great place, the nicest people, too. Indonesian people are the nicest, kindest people in general, but the attitude of Balinese are a whole level above them. I can imagine the shortages you are experiencing there.

In California it is incredibly easy- I've done it 3 times. I also appeared in Atlanta once. The judge even remembered me 6 months later. Go to the court's website, fill out a profile, then fill out a couple of questions regarding jurisdiction, $10 grand or less, you get a case number and a...

That's nuts and I still have to wonder if it would hold up in court. I could see if their packing is secure enough to avoid damage and adequate to protect the bike from damage in transit. I think the seller would have to convince the judge that a soft paper box is going to adequately protect a...

Hey Adam, pay close attention to the top corner of the box- and don't let the driver leave without looking at the box first- and knowing my experience I'll have my phone ready to snap a picture if they try to split without my signature. I'm sure I was that 1 out of a 1,000 bad shipments that...

One popular bike frequently discussed here requires you to unlock/bypass the regulator each and every time you power it up. You knowingly are making the bike illegal every time you ride it.

We studied McD's hot coffee case in one of my college law classes I took as a case study. McD's tests every possible variant in the delivery of their product and weigh each and every factor. They basically knew it was too hot, but that was the most desirable temperature- if they sold it less...

I ordered a Juiced cross-current and had some problems with shipment and thought I'd share my story now that the refund has gone through. Sorry if this is long. Short of the story: if you get a damaged bike, don't let them pull a "restocking fee" on you (at least if you live in California)...

Carlson completely misses the mark in that. He's full of it. Plenty of northern states, like Maine, rely on green energy (their turbines work in the cold to minus 30). https://windexchange.energy.gov/states/me (you can pull up Texas and how much they rely on fossil fuels- natural gas and...
