My brother gave me about 150 albums a while back, mostly what he bought at the PX in W. Germany in the late '60s. It's not my era for music so I listed them for sale last summer and sold maybe a couple dozen. Might try again sometime this summer.

Still, it would be nice to know if they are LFP. They are safer (less susceptible to runaway fires) than the more common lithium batteries.

Sound from vinyl is rich and warm and uncompressed. Better still is live music. I've formed a habit of attending an old-time/bluegrass festival every spring; even though the people playing the instruments are at amateur level, the sound truly is "music to my ears" and delightful. Unlike a...

Do you still favor the Kinekt after all this time has passed, or have you found a new favorite? Curious to know if you think the Kinekt and the Shockstop are really close contenders or if there's a clear winner.

Yeah, I lack the first two! I'm a mediocre sprinter, and incapable on the long haul! :D

Heh. That reminds me: some scammer in the OKC area is offering a brand new R&M Superdelite for $655. But you can't go and pick it up; you have to pay electronically and he'll then ship it to you.... supposedly. :rolleyes:

Well. Sorry for the misunderstanding. So I'll try to be as thorough as possible in laying out the situation. Of course I pedaled both as hard as possible for comparison. And the R1Up was easier on the legs because I reached the top of the hill in less than half the time. Do I have to also...

I think you've read an assumption into what I wrote. You might want to read my initial post again, because I never stated dissatisfaction with the climbing ability of my current ebike; I only asked how a mid drive would compare because if I buy a mid drive I don't want less climbing ability...

I didn't buy the Tenways Ago T. Nice looking ebike, though. It didn't have as much hill climbing power as my current ebike, a Ride1Up LMT'D; the Tenways hub's rated torque is about 20% less than my MXUS hub IIRC, and I just read today that the Enviolo has a 14% efficiency loss versus a...

IMO stay away from the super-low-budget ebikes with obscure brand names. Especially all the Amazon wonders. But there are some bargains to be had. Lectric, for example, buys in huge quantities and keeps their prices low, yet from what I've read they have good CS after the sale. My Ride1Up...

Just one ebike: Ride1Up LMT'D with handlebar stem extension. One analog bike: Trek Pure Sport.

I agree, and I don't "lazy pedal" either.

Yeah, you can take that as a compliment, I'm sure! :D

Exactly the thing to do, yep! This morning I did exactly that. The problem is, the ebike shops are pretty limiting about where a person can ride to try out their ebikes. One stays close to the shop. And they are all located in flat areas. So I started watching the FB listings. Someone in...

I'm going to test ride a Tenways Ago T tomorrow. I hope it rides as nice as it looks.

That's an interesting situation with the ball bearing. Hmm.

I would be pedaling with PAS, not using the throttle. I don't mind working along with the motor, I just don't want to work hard enough to make my legs feel like jelly. I've been thinking about a trip to Acadia NP and in my imagination I could picture myself pedaling to the top of Cadillac...

The 27 lb weight certainly sounds wonderful to me! Fabulous for an ebike.

I'm reasonably sure the Coast lights do not have regulated output, meaning they get dimmer and dimmer throughout the 8 hour period you mention. Besides, I know of no 18650 cell that can supply 500 actual lumens for 8 hours. Not saying there's anything wrong with the Coast, though.

My Ride1Up LMT'D turned out to be a decent quality ebike. Only problems I've had were: - the fill opening for the front hydraulic brake must not have been tight from the factory, and after a few months I lost enough fluid that the brake needed a refill and bleed. - after 800 miles some spokes...
