    Do cell phone holders damage phones?

    Hey, From time to time I hear stories of cell phone cameras being damaged from the vibrations of the motorcycle when mounted on the handlebars. There must be something to this as Quad Lock offers a vibration dampener for their cell phone mounts. I'd really like to utilize the cell phone on the...

    Looking for replacement to Kilimanjaro Hitch Mounted E-Bike Carrier

    Hello, 10-3-24 came a letter for the manufacturer of this Kilimanjaro Hitch rack stating it's on recall. Using it puts me in danger of a car crash—losing a rack or e-bike while driving!! I loved it as it has a ramp and small wheels underneath, so for my bad wrist, it was like, greatest of all...

    Upgrade Superdelite gt rohloff to superdelite mountain

    If you're looking to upgrade to a tougher 150mm fork, you could go for something like the RockShox Pike Ultimate, Fox 36 Performance Elite, or the Manitou Mezzer Pro. These offer more travel and durability compared to your current Bomber Z2. The DVO Diamond D1 and Marzocchi Bomber Z1 are also...

    How Often Do You Replace Your E-Bike Battery?

    Most lithium-ion batteries have between 500 and 800 charge cycles, depending on the make and model of the battery. Remember that a charge cycle is from fully charged to fully depleted, and when you receive your order for an e-bike, the first thing to do is to fully charge it. Naturally, we want...

    Can An EBike Travel On A Bike Rack In The Rain?

    Most of the videos I see of my European cousins riding e-bikes are in some of the worst conditions imaginable—muddy trails, pouring rain. I honestly don’t know how you all do it! But it got me thinking… How do you transport your bikes in that kind of weather? We all know water is the #1 enemy of...

    Recommendations anyone? Offroad Mountain e bike

    I'm scheduled for a knee replacement this December and have been trying to sell my Husqvarna 300 for a while now. At this point, I’m considering trading it in and getting an e-bike instead. The catch is—I don’t really know much about them. I have access to both Specialized and Husqvarna e-bikes...

    Engwe L20 Boost Problem

    Hi Can anybody help, please? The pedal assist on my new Engwe L20 Boost seems faulty to me. All the levels 1 - 5 feel the same on flat ground or going uphill. I stay at the same speed and the pedaling force remains the same. I have to use the boost mode on hills. Any idea what the problem could...

    Some thoughts on using an ebike for Z2 training

    Yes, you can use the assist on an e-road bike to help stay in Zone 2 on steep climbs. That’s one of the great advantages of e-bikes for training. By adjusting the assist level, you can reduce the strain on climbs and keep your heart rate from spiking, allowing for more consistent Z2 riding even...

    Does anyone have suggestions for a better battery?

    For a 30-mile range with your 1500W motor, I recommend a 52V 30Ah or 52V 35Ah battery. This will provide the capacity needed to handle the power draw and give you the range you're aiming for. Look into batteries like the 52V 30Ah Hailong or consider a custom-built 52V 35Ah battery pack for extra...

    Transporting Cargo eBikes (specially Dutch style)

    I have looked at cargo e-bikes several times but I've never been willing to pull the trigger. My problem is "how do you transport one of these things? Sooner or later you have to take it to a shop for service, right? Are there bike racks able to handle the longer wheelbase of cargo bikes?

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    In U.S. states where cannabis is legal, you buy it from licensed dispensaries, not backstreet dealers. These shops have full menus with different strains, edibles, concentrates, and even hash in some places. Everything is lab-tested, labeled with THC/CBD percentages, and free from contaminants...

    Delite4/Superdelite carrier and range queries.

    The Superdelite is the better choice for range (1125Wh) without stressing frame mounts. The Delite4’s carrier is sturdy but flexy under heavy loads, and the Powermore 250 sacrifices framebag space. Lifting a 30kg+ bike over gates will be tough—consider a light eMTB with bikepacking bags if...

    Longshot: RAL color codes for red R&M frame enamel?

    If Riese & Müller (R&M) and their official shops can't provide the RAL codes, your best bet is to get a spectrophotometer reading from a local automotive or professional paint shop. Many auto body shops or specialty paint stores can scan a sample from your bike and match the color precisely...
