The bikes are Bosch equiped Cannondales. (Contro-e)

The battery switch is a great idea. Next time we're on a long ride I'll suggest it. She may have other ideas.

Finaly got around to riding the e-bikes again. It's hard to get us off of our road bikes but the weather finaly turnes south and the road bikes don't have fenders and you can ride the e-bikes all bundeled up in warm clothes. No problem, off we went on a cold and slightly damp December day...

I wonder if they make a "Cyclist Whistle" that you can mount on your cars fender?

How about calling it the Galactic Peace Patrol? Space Force sounds so ominous.

Buzz Aldrin wants Trump to change the name of Space Force https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/buzz-aldrin-trump-space-force-nasa-change-name-a8742641.html

I agree, it's a poor choice of names. For one, I think the word "force" is inappropriate in these times. We need to continue to see space as a place of shared endeavor that benifits all mankind, not another battlefield. Yeah, I know, good luck with that.

Not nearly as reliable as electric.

Hand signals are very useful when done properly but I find that most cyclists, if they do signal, preform the signal for only a second or so and then keep their signal arm in close to their body where it's difficult to see. Signal big and signal early.

The thing is, no one understands arm signals any more. I like to do an exagerated, extended, pointing motion with my right arm and hand. My wife disagrees but I see too many cyclists doing a hasty left turn signal with their left arm tight up against their body. Yes it's the correct signal...

As much as having the proper saddle, having it adjusted properly is just as important, if not more so. Check out some saddle fitting videos on YouTube. I like mine about level. If it's tilted up ever so slightly, I get the numb thing going on. My e-bike seat is fairly large compared to my...

Thanks, that helps. I'll keep you posted. Might be a while though.

I guess it's pretty much a non issue for most folks but I know on some bikes, the shop can use diagnostics to tell you a lot more about your battery and electrical system than is available to the rider. If you switch out batteries it might somehow effect this information? I'm thinking if you...

Both batteries only have a thousand miles on them in about a year's time. What I meant by "screwing up the computer" isn't because I was worried about actually harming anything. I was thinking that the computer and the battery it came with are somewhat paired. The computer saves information...

Both my wife and I bought the same bike at the same time and have the same mileage on our bikes. At the outset of our trip the other day she had a range of 65 miles in Eco mode and I had 47 in the same mode. My guess is it's because I'm 50 pounds heavier than she is but I would like to test my...

Remaining range is the most important thing to me. After that, distance traveled, a clock for time is nice and occasionally a speedometer. I don't need much.

There is no throttle on the bike. I am 6'3" and the Large fits both me and my 6' wife. My brother who is 5'10" also rides the bike comfortably. I would suspect that the large would be for someone between 5'8" to 6'3". I'd only be guessing on the medium.

Wind robs you of your speed, hills take it honestly.

When I was 15, there was this long stretch of road on the edge of town, that for some reason, often had a strong wind blowing along it. I can rememember the joy of getting a "free ride" for miles. When I was older I did a 3,000 mile bicycle trip with my brother that included a section up the...

WIND IS THE WORST! I'm talking strong wind, small craft warning wind. 25 mph plus wind. No fun if it is coming at ya. Hills are just another challenge. Wind has no mercy. A hill stops at the top and you get to go weeeeeeee! all the way down.
