I do have a helmet and I will buy a better one. One of the spills was in the driveway. I had just come back from tennis. I had my tennis bag in the saddlebag with the racket handle pointing up. The bike is not step though and when I tried to swing my leg off, it hit the racket and I lost my...

Thanks for the knee and elbow pad links. Those knee pads look good. I didn't see anything on Amazon that looked as good. No, I wasn't planning on a full face helmet. 😉 I think these are the cycling shoes you recommended. How are they different from (better than) lightweight walking shoes? Is...

I never wear flip flops and would never wear them on a bike. Yikes! When I am going to play tennis, I wear my tennis shoes. Other times, I wear a pair of lightweight walking shoes.

I am new to e-biking. In the last month, I have had 2 minor spills. There were no injuries in one and only minor scrapes to both knees and one elbow in the other. What's the best protection I can get? Are there knee and elbow pads that are reasonably comfortable? What about protective clothing...

I am new here and in the market for an e-bike. My neighbor loaned me his to try and his helmet which has a mirror. I really like the mirror, but it is very small -- about one inch wide. I would appreciate recommendations for helmet mirrors. I will also check out the handlebar mirrors...

Ok, thanks

It is my understanding that the C380 uses a geared hub motor. The sales person showing me the bike tried to explain it to me, but all I got was that it's a system of floating balls, or something. Can someone explain it better? How does it compare with a manual gear system with multiple...

I make a lot of short trips around town. Most are less than 5 miles and all but a very few are less than 10 miles. I feel guilty driving our gasoline car such short distances, but we are not quite ready to get an EV. An e-bike seems like an excellent option. But which one to get? I am 80 years...

Hi, all. I am new here. I am thinking about getting an e-bike, but have a few questions before I do have a few questions. It is better if I limit each new post to a single question so the discussion can stay better focused rather than ask 4-5 questions in one post? Thanks
