    Bike stand(s) for heavy e-bike

    You've read far too much into the common expression, "that's crazy" and for some reason have decided to take it personally. whatever,.. moving on....

    Bike stand(s) for heavy e-bike

    like I said it was off the top of my head. After I thought more about it I thought it would be better to put a couple free weights on the base. I've built lots of stuff from cars to houses to furniture. The first rough idea is never the final idea. No need to get upset though, if you want to...

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    omg :oops: are there vendor reviews anywhere? I didn't see any. I'd like to see a review of the place I bought from. Man I'm so nervous buying something expensive online from some store I've never bought from before. I wanted to order from Bolton Ebikes because I see his videos on youtube all...

    Bike stand(s) for heavy e-bike

    really seems like you could just make one out of wood, bolts and gas pipe and fittings. The actual clamp to hold the bike would be a tougher source. But just a sturdy base with a heavy (metal) sturdy pipe wouldn't be difficult to fabricate. I mean $2,000. + for a stand to hold a bike just seems...

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    I'm pretty nervous, I hope I get a shipping confirmation soon. They said 1-3 days to process the order and 3-5 days for shipping.

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    after 5 pm, I was so hoping I'd get a shipping notice today. it's only 2 pm where the bike is, maybe there's still hope. this wait for it to arrive (and then assemble) is going to be brutal. I feel like a kid on December 15th!

    Any Bassists, Guitarists, Drummers, Keyboard Players Here?

    nice, the flame maple looks really nice in the sunlight. I like and own: Les Paul, SG, Tele, Strat, Ibanez RG 550, Jackson King V, Gretsch Electromagnetic, and Charvel San Dimas. (and a John Lennon style Epiphone acoustic/electric) For Amps I really like Fenders and Marshalls, and I have a...

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    ok it's ordered and I ordered a black Thousand bike helmet also. Probably going to take a week to get here. man this is going to be a long week. If I'm super lucky maybe it'll be here in time for the weekend but I don't think I'm that lucky since it has to cross the country.

    Can we change the culture?

    what a world where you have to worry about an enraged cyclist attacking you because he doesn't like your bike. Wow.

    Can we change the culture?

    seems like if you're that scared of another bicyclist accosting you a can of pepper spray would work just fine.

    Show us your Cell Phone Holders

    I had been looking at the tackform ones because they're metal, plus they clamp but also have the silicon/rubber web as a sort of backup..

    Show us your Cell Phone Holders

    that looks really good. I admit I'm extremely nervous at the idea of clipping my phone to the handlebars. All it takes is falling off once to break it.

    Can we change the culture?

    Scary thread (sort of), never even occurred to me someone might have a problem with someone else's bike choice. Seems like a childish and stupid attitude. I was in a really bad accident 20 years ago and had to learn to walk again, and it took years to properly walk again. I was told I couldn't...

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    Yes I've checked the local shop, it's actually only a couple miles from my house; there's no Ebikes. So I've been learning as much as I can on my own. Watching every video I can find about changing tires, bedding brakes, changing/fixing chains, etc. All ready to order my ebike tomorrow. I'm...

    Any Bassists, Guitarists, Drummers, Keyboard Players Here?

    Hi, I've played guitar for a little over 30 years. I love (and play) everything from Classical and Flamenco, Blues Rock and Country, to Slayer, Megadeth or the Beatles. I'm just a big fan of guitar and like pretty much any music that has guitar in it. Played professionally for about 15 years...

    Hello, hope to be a new rider soon

    Hello. I got my kids bikes recently and after setting them up rode one around the parking lot and (remembered?) how much fun it is to ride a bike. Haven't really been on one in 20+ years since I was a kid. Started looking at bikes online and discovered ebikes and that really made me sit up and...
