I've no tattoos, but plenty of scars. For me, its all about Ergonomics, from the Greek meaning to work according to natural law. That's second nature to me, but it's an entire set of fields devoted to making everything from our living spaces to our kitchen utensils more aesthetically pleasing...

Ouch! P.S. If any one wants the half throttle "ergo" grips That came with my VIVI when I upgrade, send me a message. I'd rather they went to a good home than end up in a landfill. They are for classic 22mm bars. I think shipping would be around $5. I'll be giving them away when the time comes.

Just read an interesting thread on reddit: What I found interesting was not the posts about people who switched to fs(although the fs people are in the majority on that post), but the people who specifically didn't and the reasons why. And they all made perfect sense. Whether you simply want...

And I prefer to keep my anonymity as much as possible. I'll just restate that obviously I'm not using the correct terminology or math. If I cared enough to be exact I would google grades and incline and slopes, but honestly, I was just trying to explain that without the assist from my ebike, I...

Look, I don't know enough of the math to give you a precise measurement, but use those triangles as a visual reference for incline. I assure you, it is the reality here. Thank god I'm riding on paved roads.

I'll take photos next time I'm out via auto. It's uphill both ways in any direction I go. If I had a go pro, I would make video and post it on youtube for those on stationary bikes in the winter.

Where I live, lots of A's and more B's than I would like, but no C's

I probably got it wrong, but the hills are tall and steep here. I digress, neither myself nor my ebike are mountain goats:

Thanks, I'll need it.

I'm already using the lowest pedal assists to counter the weight of my bike. An extra few lbs will not make a difference. On a long enough scale, everything breaks down and needs replacing. No bike is maintenance free. I've heard all the arguments for and against full suspension. Those who argue...

I still have to work, especially at the end of a ride, but I'm talking about 1/4 mile long 40 to 50 degree inclines. At the start of ride, it feels similar to riding on flats, but near the end, wish I had more power. Upright rider here, my booty isn't getting any bigger, but my quads are...

I mainly use the 1st and 2nd pedal assists to negate the extra weight of the ebike. So I'm basically just bicycling. I really do need the high assist on those inclines. My knees won't take the hills.

Snowing here in Michigan now. Rocking a 70's Vitamaster until I can get my newly acquired Scwinn xr7 a new saddle. Mothbars are in the mail.

I bought my ebike for the sole purpose of getting exercise. I have physical disabilities. I also have a need for speed and was hell bent on hacking the limiter, but once I got into the groove, I completely changed my mind. With extremely rare exception, I never use the throttle only. I'm using...

Don't know, can't afford one😞

My first ride was moving a gasser for a big guy who didn't know how to pop a clutch. Heavy cold rain, going 35mph+ on 80cc motor that weighed as much as the cheap skinny mountain bike it was attached to, no brakes(had to cut power to the engine and use my boot heals to brake) and had to pop the...

She's a beauty. Yeah I remember a while back when I still rode a motorcycle. The guys I knew were in their mid 30's were all geeked out to get hard tail Harley sportsters. Without exception, as soon as they could, they all traded in for full suspension models. Once you go suspension, if you can...

Some one out there is way ahead of me, but I think this is over kill, it would work for mountain bikes, but not most modern step throughs...

The current trend is fat or skinny tires with no suspension. Looks cool and classic I agree, but for those of us with bodies that don't work quite like they should, it's not cool, fun or sensible at all. We do what we can. I'm in the same boat. Not happy that our current option is front and...
