    Tips for loading heavy electric bikes onto car racks by yourself

    I'd never head down the road without these straps making load 100% secure. E Bikes are not 25lb item as bicycle on a rack until fully secured for travel secured solid. If grabbing any point and bike can move at all independent of rack, then these cargo straps are a must as used for securing...

    More Praxis Chain Drop Questions

    I need to look closer on that bit of chain tech as well. Seems I noticed side plates were special tweaked to walk sideways. Wish that was a tech item bubble when hovering over it for more details. But this search was a worthy good start -...

    Just from many years of tech servicing motorcycles. Nothings changed since chain was invented. ____________________________________________________ Standard motorcycle chain. Obviously bike chain's durability is quite limited. For example - best chain made, well maintained lasts 5000 miles...

    More Praxis Chain Drop Questions

    I'd replace the chain - it's noted GOOD - but if certain tests were done - it's more than likely stretched to the point, that it no long fits the pitch of the sprockets, and more than likely will crawl off. The easiest test is wrap the chain around the sprocket almost full circle tight as...

    No throttle and no way home today... :(

    After many Years as tech at Motorcycle shops - this clever cable lube tool has been the standard since early 70's. I'd be surprised if bike shops didn't have version to fit the smaller cable housings. A good Teflon lube with spray tube attached enters rubber grommet and then gets clamped down on...

    My battery died of heatstroke 😥😭

    Certainly, that was my thought as well, going inside and see who's blocking the path with an all out open circuit, to where maybe it's just one cell causing it. Hopefully it's not a glued up assembly where the case is bonded to battery pack. Cheers

    No throttle and no way home today... :(

    Thanks Captain,, I was sure I hit the Mother load of E/Bike Mayhem EXTRAordinaire. Truly can't wait to getting at it building one. Or maybe a used one for now. So if they don't have throttle - is this where power level set [1-5] simply takes over sensing pedal input? So much tech to take in...

    No throttle and no way home today... :(

    Spot On - Now I'm totally confused - Obviously I know what a throttle is [ thumb or twist grip] Am I to assume by this posting, some bikes don't have them now? When it was assumed they all did. [For newbies to get another perspective if they do a search for throttles] Have only test ridden a...
