Back in the Mods vs. Rocker days in England the Rockers called scooter "hair dryers" because most scooters do look like hair blow dryers from the side. In the USA we call them toilets because they look like your sitting on the pooper from the side. Back when I built fast 2-stroke Zuma scooters I...

I have long hair and every time I take a late shower (I work night shift) I loaf on the couch and watch TV until my hair gets dry enough to go to bed. If my wife gets tired of waiting she'll insist on me using her hair dryer to dry it so I can get in bed earlier. I don't know what brand it is...

So I run front/rear dash cams in both of my cars. My Honda Fit got clipped in the street and obviously no one left a note AND my dash cam didn't catch it! The camera was set for a whopping 6 hours of recording after being parked. So I went into the menu and set the dash cam to record up to 24...

This reminds me of the sign above the counter at my local machine shop. Price. Quality. Turnaround Time. Pick any 2. I agree the Aventon Abound comes very close, as well as a Globe Haul with front Cool Caves.

Trikes are starting to rise in popularity. I actually see them on the road now! For a long time seeing a trike was like seeing a unicorn or a UFO. So when yours arrives and you go out for adventures you'll be advertising for MeetOne. My friend is selling his BUZZ trike but he's out to sea right...

I bought the 2 pack from Litelok with both the X1 and X3. The X1 is a perfect U-lock. Great balance of size and weight. The X3 is a bit of a monster. Not that much heavier but a bit tighter in its internal shackle size. I use the X1 with my motor scooter and the X3 for my ebikes. I lock both...

Juiced is an excellent example. That was out of nowhere. DOST as well, and I almost ordered one! Slightly of topic but ONYX just went belly-up BUT the original owner is trying to currently revive the brand. I think the only one truely making a killing is Bafang. Their product seems to be on so...

It seems the market is just so saturated nowadays that I'm surprised anyone can make a profit. I even remember a article saying this very thing about Lectric, though the article has since been retracted. Said article called them the "Never ending sale." company, wondering what the profit margins...

Welcome! Funny you mention the Trail 125. Around my area the buzz has worn off and you can buy one without a stupid mark-up. I wanted a Super Cub until I realized no flat floor and semi-auto=yuck! I have a Genuine Buddy 125 for a daily. Anyways, back to ebikes. The XP 3.0 is a great ebike. The...

I have a friend who is in his 60's and he not only doesn't know how to text, he leaves idiot voice mails. It gets better because he has a crappy phone and plan and 90% of the time when I try to call him back I get "The person you are calling is not taking calls at this time." Text is easy...

Seat discussions can get pretty deep, and I'm not talking cushion. Then what type of ebike will it be installed on complicates it further. With the semi-recumbent/feet forward you should have a bit more options I would think. My old Rans Fusion had this nice wide seat that was booty heaven...

I remember those ATC 3-wheelers. I recall most tip-overs and running your leg over was from people not knowing how to properly ride one. Young kids and adults with no business being on a ATC. NO ONE ever read the owners manual and the adults would get a few beers in 'em and go show off. The...

Both of my parents passed when I was in my 20's, so I have no direct "parent needs money" reference. Now my sister is 10 years older than me (She claims I'm the mail mans kid!) and if she asked for financial help I'd have to investigate as to why, and she would do the same should I ask her for...

Im pretty sure your trike will show up. What's happening is you're eagerly awaiting it and checking the routing schedule constantly is making you antsy. I hate when I see a item I ordered getting close and then, with no warning, go AWAY from my mailing address. But I don't think you ordered from...

We have a guy in our area who pulls a little trailer from Wal-Mart behind a bicycle with the following on the trailer: Push mower. Banana shaft string trimmer. Hand gas blower. One gallon gas can. Holds it all down with straps and a cable lock to reduce theft. During the summer I see this guy...

Blips Grips. They are clear grips with led lights inside. $40. I ordered a set (will add photos later) but the grips are BRIGHT! They have multiple colors, patterns, brightness control and effect speed control. I was going to put them on my JackRabbit but my wife claimed them for the passenger...

I have a few bicycle charities in my area. Two are thru local churches and the other 2 are normal charities. If you travel out of the area/or state bring them with you with a prearranged charity to take them. I guess I have local charities because I live in a heavily dense urban area. I do...

I had a pedal start moped (Baretta 38, I just found a picture of it recently with me wearing a Troop sweatshirt looking gangster) when I was 14. I was 2 years under the legal age but I still rode it everywhere. I can honestly say it made me a better driver when it came to getting a first car (84...

When you say kids I picture getting a JackRabbit ebike. The kids will get no exercise but I guarantee they'll ride them. Super light and simple. Also, not stupid fast. If you want them to get exercise then a Lectric XP Lite. Kids want fun, weird and neat.

Comparing a base model car to a ebike purchase is this. I don't want a torque sensor. I'm fine with cadence. I don't want a mid-drive. I'm lazy and I'll never match the gearing up for starting off. Hub drive eliminates that mistake. I must have a throttle, preferably a half-throttle on the...
