Interesting so there is no requirement to move the right if you can?

Exactly. On busy intersections it wouldn't change anything. Do you live in a IS state? I find on my commute there is one light where I cross the T with a wide safe margin I don't stop and another 4 way intersection that is usually busy I always stop and wait.

Of course. And that's the whole point. If there's lots of traffic you don't have the right of way and nothing changes from the current situation. But if it is safe to proceed you can make that choice for yourself as you say you do now in defiance of the law.

I had a Vado 4 as my first E-bike and loved it. Loved it so much I wanted to upgrade to an IGH and a belt last year. Unfortunately the 4 last year didn't have a belt option so it was the lower bike (a 3 or the Como?) or the Vado 5 as options. The 5 was nice but quite expensive. The main...

That's the whole point of the IS laws for me as it gives more freedom to the cyclist to be responsible for their own safety. Most accidents are at intersections and if you can safely get through them before the cars it is a win for everyone.

that is a common reply but meaningless. the laws are for those that will obey them. so disregarding people who disregard the law, I am more interested here in the laws and the people who follow them. there will always be those that ignore the law.

The Idaho Stop law was enacted in the 80's and allows cyclists to treat a red light as a stop sign and a stop sign as a yield. About a dozen states have enacted one or both of these. I am working to enact it here in New Hampshire and I am curious about your opinion for or against it. Also any...

I don't think these days it is "women's" bike stigma for men to ride a step thru any more. I might have got the step thru when I got my Gazelle but 1) only the step over had room for a second battery if i want to add that later and 2) my LBS only had the step over in my size.

How often do you ride in turbo? And how often are you using the 10t? FOr me commuting to work every day the answer was almost always.

yeh I shouldn't be talking myself out of it now.

Yes the device is a wax 3d printer for (mostly) making jewelry. The drawings are for the Scuttler project I did with a friend at at work and others. The front legs are supposed to have feet around the front wheels and "walk" through the mud. It is driven and steered from a rear fat tire...

Each mark is one day this season biking to work, about 10 miles round trip plus noon lunch runs or errands. Tomorrow is in the teens in the morning so we'll see how motivated I feel in the morning...

I wouldn't seal the batteries up like that. You increase the heat and if there is a problem you now have another problem with a pressurized can of burning lithium. Lithium A) puts out oxygen causing more danger if sealed and B) doesn't require oxygen to burn so a sealed container won't choke...

If your throttle goes to "class 3 speeds" it sounds like it is jailbroke. But in the cold I will do the opposite, I will turn the boost down a couple clicks and pedal harder to warm up first before increasing the boost/speed/wind for the rest of the ride.

The Rain Legs solved that problem and using my regular winter coat with enough layers took care of the rest. I also have a balaclava like think called a "head sock" that does the job too and fits under my helmet even. I used to motor cycle but gave it up a long time ago.

You have no facts or arguments just insults. Sure my personal experience is only 2 brands of Class 3 bikes and 2 years of commuting and running TURBO the entire way at whatever cadence I feel like at the moment. For this question I have also looked at other forums and experiences and even...

what are you calling stress? using the bike more will wear it out sooner but that's a different issue than the OP worrying about burning out the motor. Any e-bike is already stressing the drivetrain and wearing things out quicker. Which is why more bikes are going to belts and IGH.

Prove me wrong. I have a Bosch performance line level 3. Are people burning these up for pedaling too slow? Is this happening on any other major brand bikes? Specialized?

That may be true for that Bafang motor but I haven't seen anything to suggest it is true for all bikes. I stand by my original statement that the better designed bikes today you can just ride them how you want to.
