I've noticed with my QuikRStuff Mach2 (with 56 inch max ebike wheelbase) it looked like I had a lot wobble and bounce the first time I used it with my Himiway Cobra Pro (52.6 wheel base, 4.8" fat tires, 90lbs). I forgot to lock the rear and fork suspension and it was very secure and way less...

Class III ebikes are restricted in ABQ, NM, on bike only paved or bike only dirt paths (bike, hike, jog, wheel chairs, horses A-OK). Class III have to ride the same roads for motor vehicles (ride with traffic in bike lanes, obey traffic laws/lights, no side walk riding, etc...). The city is...

The wife and I occasionally ride beyond that bridge to have breakfast at the Flying Star Cafe. We have to ride the sidewalks and cut through parking lots to the restaurant once we leave that bridge. Not a lot bike lanes and the area is too busy all hours of the day to ride beyond that point...

I had about the same positive and negative comment back in 2016 with my first ebike with the usual "that is cheating", "motor vehicles are not allowed on bike paths", "what is the purpose of riding a bike if it has a motor?", or "why don't you just get a motorcycle?". Add in city restrictions...

Are you riding the both types of ebikes in the same environment, mileage, and riding style? I had to rotate my rear hub Radrover tires to even out the wear between the front and rear tires (extended tire life). Just added a +90lbs Himiway Cobra Pro mid-drive; but, not enough mileage to notice...

I purchased a bike cover that encases two fat tire ebikes completely and ties off at the bike rack hitch arm. It folds up to a size of a large pillow when not in use, has semi-transparent panels for brake lights, and installs in minutes. The version I have was purchased back in 2016. The...

I usually adjust my tire PSI range depending on the weather, surface, and riding environment like I do with my cars.

I think we might see future ebike tires with longer treadlife tires. I was was lucky to put 1500 miles in 3 years on my old pedal bikes compared to +7000 miles on my ebike during that same time period (3 sets of tires, 3 sets of brake pads).

It is very easy to remove/rotate the front or rear tires on the Radrover (probably less than 30mins). I was just getting 2X the wear on the rear tire compared to my front tire (70lbs ebike, rack+rack bag, me +275lbs, commuter backpack, work commute 50-70 miles per week at 16-20 mph). Zero...

It might be a pain; but, can you rotate your tires 1/2 through tire life? I do this with my rear hub Radrover and that extended my tire life by +50%.

I have the QuikRstuff Mach 2 rack that is pretty much a 1UP rack with no tools needed to install/adjust. My wife's Radcity rear tire fender is made of flimsy plastic and and rack arm over the fender really doesn't hold the 70lbs ebike to my liking. I can adjust the arm stop in-between the...

The roads are in pretty good condition in ABQ, NM. Pretty much all neighborhoods have level/unbroken sidewalks with ramp curbs at intersections or "share the road" bike lanes with a buffer space. The city is now including a bike lanes on main streets near neighborhoods with road repaving when...

I have a 750w/80Nm rear hub cadence sensor Radrover and a 1000w/160Nm mid-drive tq sensor Himiway Cobra Pro. I'm usually around PAS 2/3 in my Radrover and PAS 1/2 for my Cobra Pro for the same riding conditions. The 2X of tq + tq sensor help me keep the PAS level lower on the Himiway at my...

I upgraded to Rockbros 4 bearing MTB pedals on my fat tire ebike (Amazon, $35). They are slightly larger/wider than my original pedals; which, I like because I wear size 14. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH9T43J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I also purchased...

Goathead stickers are not that bad around the Rio Grande river trails. Goathead stickers seems to be more on sidewalks and neighborhood "share the road" bike lanes the further aways you go east/west from river. Plan for more goathead stickers once you ride east of Coors Blvd. The double wide...

Love the Steadyrack and I have 5 total (three fat tire and two 2.3" tire rack for ebikes with front fenders). My fat tire ebikes have Big Buck fat tire front fenders that sit further away from the tire and they don't interfere with the steadyrack (a normal close fitting fat tire fending might...

I'm up to 5 ebikes after not owning or riding a bike for almost 30 years since my early college days back in 1985: 2023 Himiway Cobra Pro, full suspension 4.8" fat tire 1000w mid-drive 2023 Radcity Step-thru, 750w rear hub 2018 Radcity Step-thru, 750w rear hub, +1000 miles 2016 Radrover (two)...

The Himiway mid-drive works waaay better when I ride with my wife on her rear hub Radcity. I just couldn't match her Radcity normal riding speed on my old rear hub cadence sensor Radrover because PAS 2 wasn't enough power and PAS 3 was too much power (close to ghost pedaling) . A tq sensor...

I also had to upgrade my seat (cloud-9) and bell (Accmor classic bell) on my Cobra Pro. I really haven't had a need to go above PAS 1 with the mid-drive compared to having to use PAS 2-3 with my rear hub. Took me some time to get used to having to shift gears with all speed changes and starting...

I use an handler bar extender to center mount a battery powered Niterider 3600lm Enduro light and have an option for a Niterider 2200lm helmet light. I only need to keep both lights on the lowest power level since there is enough street lighting and I have reflective gear on. I like the helmet...
