one thing is for sure. despite having common interests in ebiking generally speaking, there’s no lack of shaming or judging every single choice a consumer makes with regard to ebikes. seats tires app battery brand use chains components and on and on. 🤣

i suspect it depends upon what you are looking at for ebikes. i’ve seen ebikes ranging from casual cruisers to emtb to cargo models and touring hybrids and they all have different intentions and tend to have different versions of seats and accessories…. i’d disagree that all ebikes are built...

explain? i’ve been in weekly communication with Lectric for months now, zero indications they are struggling. they’ve responded to emails within 24hrs. are you saying phones are disconnected and your email is unanswered?

an informed buyer will evaluate the pros of low cost against the potential cons of lack of professional service. buying a $1000 ebike direct i’d already determined i’d not be bringing it to the LBS for repairs. they sell bikes starting at 3x the price and they are a great shop but it’s clear...

IMHO a DIYer assumes responsibility for the problems they create and they should expect to pay if they’re turning to a professional for help. If they don’t want to pay, then google, reddit, etc are the options available to them for free. the ebike reddit group has all manner of people trying...

i’ve never given it a thought of ranking myself or my purchase decisions against those of others. i hold myself accountable for my own decisions. sometimes i make what i think are good decisions for me, sometimes i don’t. but i try not to shame the choices of others. there’s enough elitism...

pretty thorough response that i think applies to many of the other brands suffering similar delays….

i’d be wary of battery health and motor life in a used ebike. see a decent amount of new ebike owners on reddit over powering their bikes or making potentially incompatible upgrades to controller, motor of battery without understanding fully the dependencies. the further from stock the used...

it’s not a bad looking bike, but agree with others, tires ad tubes are wear items that need to be available from multiple sources, not solely the manufacturer. ppl don’t want to wait a week or more for a tube. tires and tubes should be commodities, not proprietary. it’s bad enough the lack of...

who said the tax credit would not be allowed, it’s a federal tax credit, not a state credit. manufacturers have been defining their new bikes by class for some time now…. it’s looking less and less likely that the 3 class designation will simply disappear…

shortage of shipping containers, truck drivers, dock workers, delivery drivers, manufacturing capacity, etc. alongside surging demand…. record setting delays seems the norm now. even amazon i used to get same day prime deliveries and now prime only delivers in their 2-day window 1/3 of the...

agreed, if passed this act will essentially drive the adoption of the 3 class system as identification of ebikes and their relative capabilities but more importantly will likely end the CPSC definition for practical purposes related to operation and use and the restrictions on use. it just...

spandex bikers are the worst. 🤣

anyone use the Tubolito BMX model on a 20 x 3 tire and rim?

okay, what would you say is universally fair to all athletes involved, male, female, trans, etc.

IMHO anything under $50 is essentially worthless outside of very rural areas. ideally you want multiple locking approaches working together, it’s all about relative difficulty to persuade would-be criminals to seek an easier target. myself i am combining Kryptonite 14mm chains...

there is an adjustment screw inside the folding part.

I like Thousand helmets. retro vibe.

24hrs since OP has returned to this thread. damn.

yet another thread Ken has ruined.
