Very cool. I looked at these but was amazed at how pricy they were. You did a great job bringing "cool" to your kick bike.

This has been a source of interest for me. Affordable and pragmatic for R2T.

I just don't see it. What would be the draw? Silent eBikes that are built to formula specs? I'm trying to figure out how a riders physical conditioning figures in. eMotorcycles , already trying too find their way, seem much more likely, even though they are having problems with acceptance ( read...

There always seems to be a decent population of advanced thinkers, designers and problem solvers. Unfortunately there is a much higher population of naysayers who will shut them down or try to destroy them if the slip through the cracks. How we have survived all these years as a species is a...

Pretty sure many corporate bk's are more profit stratagy then tough times. The Covid situation allows many big and mid size companies to jump on the corp welfare wagon and BK costs are a total pass thru to the rest of us.

We are often told we must "save Mother Earth". I think the fallacy in all this is that "Mother Earth" could care less if the human species survives or doesn't. I'm impressed with @artdecos efforts to go green. Green is simply a smart solution to move us forward from the fossil and coal solutions...

Not a lot of maps needed. It's a very definitive trail. My wife and I section rode it about 7 or 8 years ago. Like you, we are going to do Deadwood to Hill City , Hill City to the Southern terminus in June. The Badlands and Black Hills rank right up there on the top of our "greatest hits"...

Ecotric Dolphin. There is a photo of it about 4 or 5 responses up.

I love mine. It was a gift my husband surprised me with for Christmas. I like riding and exercising, so I really wasn't convinced until I used it. I go on rough trails, hard cross country through lots of sand. I'd never consider it on past bikes. I go a lot farther than I normally would. I don't...

I have completed my first pass edit of the trails, gaps and "portages" ( where no RTC trail or other exists. It's just a day dreamer project currently. Be happy to share it with you

I have been looking at the Giant Explore at around $2500 as a possible longer distance bike. I just sold my Giant Sedona tonight (2005) and I can't tell you how impressed I was with that bike overall. So my experience with Giant products has been good. I have had it serviced at a couple...

The best thing a person can do, besides the research, is to be honest with themselves about how they really intend to use whatever they buy. Out of boredom I have begun to chart out all the connections and "portages" on the Great American Rail Trail. Doing so made me realise I would have to have...

My wife is just at 500mi with her Ecotric Dolphin Step Thru ( 20" Fat Tire Folder). Got it last December in sale for $749. I have the 26" Ecotric. They have worked flawlessly so far.

Sondors has a bit of a carnival barker reputation. I remember a few articles about him before he became Storm. I can't say if he does anything unethical, he is an aggressive marketing type. I almost bought a Fold X ltd in Orange but the lead time was too long. I never felt I was being cheated...

I think a great adventure would be riding the complete sections of the Great American Rail Trail. I have been searching Google for itinerary info, with regards to info regarding the best way to portage between planned and unplanned sections too hook up with each trailhead. Obviously a second (...

A trailer might be a solution. We carried two small dogs when went riding. Never a problem. Shade , mesh screen for airflow etc. They come in large breed sizes.

I had to jump on this because it so reminded me of a similar experience I had at the induction center in Newark, NJ. I was sitting on a folding chair in a long hallway of other "pre-oath" inductees. I got out of my chair to grab some water at the fountain and this really sketchy, big dude steals...

I experienced the Laguna and Santa Barbara fires in the 90's. Not sure the news can ever capture the "live" experience. Of course fires in the Santa Monica mountains end up mudslides during heavy rain events. All this excitement for a mere "millions" of dollars just to live in the thick of it...

My wife and I tend to partner up. We don't commute with our bikes but go on rides, as an activity. If we stop at a cafe or brewery it's always an outside venue where bikes can stay next to the table. We keep a folding lock to feel good, I suppose, but have never found a need to use it. My two...

I am certain my eBike has health benefits. My legs and it seems even my knees have strengthened. I ride a lot in PAS 0 and 1 using my high gear (7 on a 7speed). I am considering a used gravel /mtb for bikepacking since NC and FL are not eBike friendly on actual mtb shared access trails...
