    So...whats this hole for?

    i think they were attempting to be funny about the title “so, what’s this hole for.” being provocative.

    Issue with Folding frame latch

    great solve, sucks that you had to diagnose and fix yourself but now that you have i bet you feel better about it all. self reliance and determination and all that. your solve is likely something others will come back to, as i can see that issue happening again merely due to the long trip...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    yeah i get that, i mean the people we are talking to online or by phone aren’t the ones setting policy so they don’t deserve to feel shitty about their job too… emotions run high when money is at stake and i am empathetic to the fact CS personnel are on the front lines there taking it from every...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    16,000 bikes per month is impressive. Lectric CS told me earlier today FedEx has only been taking approx 500 per day. It’s a shitty situation for all, I’m quite sure this is not how Lectric would prefer to do it, and it’s def not how customers would want it… but i don’t see an obvious...

    So...whats this hole for?

    what about a torque arm hole to address higher powered hub motors and transfer the force away from the dropout? just a guess.

    Should it be legal for kids to ride ebikes?

    If it were me, i wouldn’t be just gifting expensive ebikes and electronics as that tends to create kids who have little concept of money or how it is acquired and how to properly care for this stuff, and knowing kids who’s parents spoil them endlessly, the kids are assholes, disrespect everyone...

    Shipping Delays

    if we assume they do not have any control over the dates, then we know that going in, and we decide we want the thing anyway. this is sort of the world we live in now. it’s very much a first world problem i think.

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    Keep in mind the battery cannot fly. so if your brother was able to pick it up he’d have to transport it ver ground not by air, at least the battery part. A pre order can be charged, but if you’re growing increasingly frustrated you can always cancel the order and buy something else. not a...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    yeah agreed. i’m not actually challenging their taking money in the promise of product. that’s true it’s fairly the norm now. i’m merely challenging their offer of expedited shipping for $150 and what exactly is being expedited. i don’t yet see a difference between the standard deal and the...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    Fedex also is not off the hook, regardless of pandemic, they also are a massive company with massive capital they can access to make problems go away…. if there’s a shortage of drivers, increase wages to be among the best in the industry and boom, problem solved. the have the $ and resources...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    i’d also challenge that they are “a small company” anymore with $80million+ in sales.

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    what i want from them are hard facts. how many bikes per day is fedex picking up (weeks ago they told me 600-800 per day), how far ahead are they generating labels, and how many labeled bikes are they carrying in the warehouse at a time. and how many bikes total are stateside. ex. are they...

    Thought I'd share a letter I sent to Lectric on behalf of all of us waiting for our bikes.

    i can assure you that paying the extra $150 has not resulted in me jumping ahead in any lines since i’m still waiting 2 weeks now with a shipping label printed and no fedex pickup yet.

    US National Park Service Announces Policy for Electric Bicycle Use in National Parks

    in my experience national and federal lands are routinely limited to all sorts of access. even walking, hiking, boating for various reasons, but typically out of a concern for ecology or wildlife. or both. i’m generally ok with it and also understand why each park has to almost be managed...

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    the outdoors is a shared space for the most part. i’m not the type to make comments to strangers about their buying choices as that can come across super arrogant and socially intrusive. i keep to myself. if someone does this to me i’d like to think i’d ignore it most of the time rather than...

    E-bikes under fire as fatalities climb in NYC

    i really love the bike culture in NL (i travel there quite a lot for biz) and i’m actually fine with their resistance to helmets… it helps of course that they learn rules of the road at a very young age. all my friends kids are so much more independent and confident on bikes than most of the...

    Fat tire ebike using flatout to prevent flats

    the slime or flatout goes in the tubes not the tires so don’t know what Kenda is even saying. fat tires with their lower pressure and more contact area are more prone to flats than others i believe, im using tuffy liners between tire and tube + slime. other option is just a patch kit and an...

    E-BIKE Act: what do people think?

    actually i think EVERYONE in this forum at this point understands what CPSC has stated with regards to first sale. despite your continued bleating that we’re all idiots or P4B shills. The “flaw” you state in the tax bill is invented by you because you reject the 3 class ruling. that...
