I’m in the process of selling my last MC. It has conventional ( no ABS) brakes. I am so used to these (55+ yrs riding), I don’t have to think about how much pressure I use on both front/ rear. My newer motorscooter of course has both brakes operated by handlebar levers ( no foot pedal). Typical...

Thanks for the replies. I have no problem with how it comes from the factory. I’ll swap hydraulic lines an bleed if needed. Would be easier if thr e-bike I was looking at still had cable operated disc brakes, but reciently up graded to hydraulic.

All good information. Since I will not let anyone ride my e-bike I’m going to swap when I get it. Makes no since to jeopardize myself in a hot situation ( especially on a trail, in a curve w/ loose sand or gravel) - since I’m use to the RT front, LF rear brakes after 55+ yrs. Going back/ forth...

I have been riding MCs and Motorscooters for over 55 yrs. The handlebar brake lever on the right side operates the front brake. Just the opposite of bicycles. Why is that ? I have been swapping my bicycle brake cables around so they are the same as my MCs/ Scooters. Thanks for your replies.

I have Parkinsons and bicycling helps me stay healthier and a little more normal. Going to get into E-bikes to help my condition and so that my wife and I can venture out farther. Great finding this forum.

Of course I could always tell them “ Santa is taking notes here”. Lol.

Do small “disabled” plate/ decal(s) exist that could be purchased and displayed on front/ back of an e- bike that would let others know ?.Being old w/ white hair and beard should be evidence enough that I’m not out to rip the trails up or terrorize others.

Hello. Old guy here getting ready to buy one of two e-bike brand selections. The Lectric XP 3.0 folder is one of the choices narrowed down to. I’ve heard that the bike is great for the most part -but the folding pedals are not so great. What are the problems with these, and do most owners of...

Yes, lots of beautiful and steep hills-when I lived by NB TX, but not much now that I live close to the Coast. However we do have lots and lots of trails including Hike & Bike trails at/by/in parks most maintained by the city. Also many trails linked so you can spend all day and not repeat any...

Ok FWIW I did looks at some similar past threads on this forum. However I know things change all the time. My main concern is small wheels w/ fat tires, folding, step through, bike and battery certifications. I can lift 70 lbs ok, I’ve seen easier ways to load in back of a vehicle. Our e-bike...

Currently studying all information I can get my hands on to make a good choice/ selection for my first e-bike. I’m an old guy and will be asking questions, opinions, and help if possible. I am going to purchase (2) folding step through e-bikes, one for me one for my wife. We currently ride Towne...
