I think that a Bafang mid drive conversion would meet the goals.

On May 2, 2008 I was taking my wife’s 1200 Sportster to the shop for a recall service. A school bus had stopped ahead, (a half mile straightaway). The flashers went off, but the bus didn’t start to go right away. The speed limit was 50 and there was an auto repair shop across the street. A...

Hysteria, paranoia and a persecution complex is the likely culprit, (I think that I know who you refer to). I raced in the early days of mountain bikes, I have been a roadie for most of my life and now at 68 I ride my road bike and my ebike. I have seen a few a$$holes through the years, but...

That’s pretty much the same in my area, (rural New Hampshire and Vermont). I used to do training rides in the Greenfield Massachusetts area and the riders and drivers seemed to coexist beautifully, (that was about 25 years ago. I don’t have any recent experience in that area). There were no...

I had intended to ride the newly completed Lamoille Valley Rail Trail when it opened this past year, but just before the formal opening, we had flooding and the trail was closed. It is mostly open now, but a 14 mile section is still closed. They think that it may be fully open sometime in...

I found that the Redshift stem did fairly well when it came to taking the harshness out of gravel roads, but the benefit was less than I had hoped for. I also have some neck and back issues due to a serious motorcycle accident, so I wanted to raise my bars a bit, (not upright, but up enough...

Our resident troll is already disturbed, so move boulders or break ground at will.

So your plan is to raise the seat on a tricycle that is narrow and already has a high center of gravity????? What could go wrong????? Are you looking for a Darwin Award????? It seems that Addmotor would have made the seat height adjustable if it was a smart choice. Regarding those that...

First, I am a veteran, (and we are not “your” veterans). Second, I am 68, (not a kid). Third, you apparently can’t handle the truth. If you can’t handle the truth it’s probably time to saddle up that therapy pony and ride off. We should never try to “white” wash history. Was your buddy Aaron...

I thought 3 wheeled vehicles were a step short of training wheels, (tricycle, training wheels on a two wheeler then yahoo, I can ride a two wheeler!!!). There has been plenty of oppression, systemic racism and even genocide by the U.S. government, but I don’t think that banning an inherently...

Eastern Europe has some interesting riding. I spent a lot of time in the Moravian region of the Czech Republic between 2006 and 2019, (two or three business trips per year, two weeks minimum each time). I kept a Specialized Stumpjumper there and rode as my primary transportation, exercise and...

I’m with you there. I can see the benefit of crowdfunding for health emergencies or for a disaster, but it seems that it is commonly used as a way to get money without earning it. I might consider donating to a worthwhile project that otherwise wouldn’t happen, but Pashley doesn’t deserve my...

That’s funny. The guy that rides a tricycle talking about training wheels. I have no issue with those that choose or need a tricycle, but I find the irony astounding, and apparently lost on old Dash. “Others are more worried that they might fall without the training wheels attached (or even...

I doubt that he is doing Addmotor any favors. I don’t think that many on here would want to be associated with such a person. Directly replying to this guy seems to be what he seeks. You can’t have a rational discussion with an irrational person.

This is how to wear your tires.

It tends to happen when a high amount of pressure is applies to a small area causing the tire to compress against the rim, pinching the inner tube, and like fooferdogie said, causing what looks like a snake bite on the inner tube. Skinny tires running a too low a pressure are a common cause...

Tire quality is not just about wear, traction and puncture resistance. A supple tire will make the ride much more comfortable and improve handling over any irregularities. A stiff tire will be deflected by irregularities which causes discomfort and can even cause loss of control. I ride both...

Good point. The only reason for leaving out the Class 2 was that many production Class 2 ebikes tend to be on the heavy side, (that may be a misconception on my part).
