    Lubing an eBike chain

    I have a Cobra Pro as well and I hang my bike from the rafters in my garage using ratchet straps. Works well, that way I can rotate the tires freely for whatever I'm working on.

    Looking for an e-bike with the following:

    Never said it was, but it is mid drive 1000w and my comment was on that part.

    Looking for an e-bike with the following:

    I ride with a 1000w mid drive bafang with 160 nm of torque. I ride fat tire bikes because I like to go off road, mud and snow!

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    This is an e-cycle, not an e-bike. Still looks fun, but will ruin it for the ebikes if they bring them out on the bike trails.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    Many areas in So Cal and elsewhere are restricting ebikes, and some confine them to roads only. Its a growing trend, mostly due to kids being kids and exceeding the 15mph speed limit of most trails or riding fast on sidewalks. Its not hard to predict when you throw these high power ebikes into...

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    I would agree with this to a point...but, if someone is totally new to ebikes they really don't know what they will want until they start riding. You spend lots of $$$ on the unknown and find out a year later its not really what you wanted, its a costly lesson. This is why I like the idea of...

    Charging port cover - won't seat

    Since it is plastic maybe you could try some thin velcro?

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    I bought my first ebike in 2019 after I saw my friends fat tire bike and I thought....I need that. Prior I had stopped riding bikes because my knees couldn't take the hills any longer. Of course the ebike has resolved that and now that I've gone to a mid drive I find the riding even more...

    Standing Up on ebike: safe?

    I have a mid-drive, I stand and pedal when tackling steep terrain on my ebike just like I did on my non ebike. I don't know what controls one would need to be changing while they are standing/pedaling?

    Tire Liners

    Your need really depends on your surroundings. If I didn't have goat heads I would not have needed Tanus liners IMO. Since we do have them, I would not be riding without them. As a kid in the 70's we just had to get used to fixing our flat tires, but I also think our bike tires were a bit...

    Tire Liners

    Dish soap is what you use to lube tires... I learned this in auto shop in highschool way back when they had auto shop classes... :)

    Tire Liners

    My first ebike cruiser I purchased I ended up with a flat the 2nd or 3rd time out, real pain in the butt. I purchased Tannus and never had a flat afterwards (2 yrs). I had then sold my cruiser and bought a Cobra Pro 2+ yrs ago and with the Tannus I added I have yet to get a flat. I installed...

    Just for fun...

    In the USA if you work in the government you get lots of paid days off. The private sector (real world) not so much, maybe 6. My job we get Christmas, new years, thanksgiving, july 4, memorial day and labor day.

    Big guy looking for good range ebike

    Himiway bikes are great for bigger folks. I had a cruiser and currently have the Cobra Pro. I'm 6'3" and 220. Check out their bikes, they are known for getting good distance and supporting bigger people!

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    I do like the idea for someone wanting to get into ebikes and doesn't know anything, renting would be a great way to learn.....

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    Cost all depends on the riders needs. My first bike was a $1400 Himiway cruiser which was fine for my first bike and I was able to learn about ebikes and so forth. Had it for a couple yrs but where I ride has hills and I also ride off road so I decided I wanted full suspension and mid drive...

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    I would buy a cruiser bike like a RadRover, Himiway, Aventon, etc.... hub drive that runs around $1500 or you could go to Costco and get a Sondor if they are still selling those there for around $900. It is a good entry way into the ebike sport. I had a cruiser for 2 yrs then decided I wanted...
