I live in Minnesota and a bicycle here is defined as: (Unicycles and quads fall outside those definitions.) Does your state recognize bicycles with less than two wheels (unicycle) or more than two or three wheels (quad)? MS169.011 Subd. 4.Bicycle. (a) "Bicycle" means every device capable of...

I am starting to look for a fat tire recumbent e-bike. Is the Sunseeker E-Fat Tad Electric Assist Tadpole a good choice?

These are from my ride yesterday.

As posted above, what are recumbent e-bikes trikes like in the winter with ice and compacted snow?

I had to read that a second time. After seeing the butt comment, I read that as Roll Road Enema and thought, "Put the damn seat back on the bicycle!"

My wife and I rode the Mississippi River Trail today. This is in Nininger Township, Dakota County Minnesota near Fahey Trailhead. https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/parks/Documents/MississippiRiverTrailMap.pdf...

Who on EBR is using Salzmann 3M Spoke Reflectors for Bicycles? Do you like them? Are they worth buying? https://www.amazon.com/Salzmann-Scotchlite-Spoke-Reflector-Bicycle/dp/B00DNG8DSY

I have seen some bicycle riders wearing big rim visors. How helpful are they? https://dabrim.com/products/cycling-classic...

I have a Rambo Krusader 2. I ordered an additional battery for it. My bike has a rear luggage rack. Are there any cordura nylon bags that attach to the top of a rack like this that would hold a battery? It would need to be at least 18 inches long. I did find the Kemimoto Lipo battery bag, but I...

I was perusing the web this weekend and I saw something that referenced a Type 3 e-bike with a throttle. Until reading that, I thought an e-bike with a throttle was a Type 2 e-bike.

If this has been discussed, I missed it and didn't find it with a search and I apologize in advance. Is there any movement to standardize in the e-bike industry what electrical connections are used on ebikes? One of my bikes is a Rambo Krusader 2.0 and uses the electrical connector in the...

I stopped by the Rambo booth at the Minnesota State Fair today. I asked about am additional battery pack and the representative referred me to American Electric. Before you order, make sure that the battery your order is for the correct make and model of bike and the correct electrical...

I use a Garmin Zumo XT on my bikes. That device is actually a motorcycle GPS, not a bike GPS. I want it for navigation. It does have an internal battery, but it won't last on longer rides so I have power banks that I put in the handlebar-mounted water bottle holder to extend run time.

This past Saturday, August 17th, 2024, I was riding in Lilydale Minnesota and was somewhat surprised to see a paved multi-use path near State Highway 13 that was marked "NO BIKES" in yellow paint on the pavement. Is that common is other members areas to have paved multi-use paths, but then to...

Are they like one of these? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Reflective+velcrom+straps&crid=2FTYZ6JL63LCS&sprefix=reflective+velcrom+straps%2Caps%2C155&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

I saw someone recently that was wearing high visibility socks. I never gave them much thought until seeing them. I have done some Google searches and there are some that are hi-viz yellow/neon green and others that are not hi-viz, but have reflective material in them. Are they worthwhile or a...

Check out CandlePower Forums. It is one of the better website that I have found to learn more about lights. I will also add that I don't think lighting is an either/or issue. For example, handlebar vs. helmet light. Having a handlebar light and a helmet light is a great way to go. If you add...

My wife and I are in Warroad MN now and I noticed that they have a free bike library. https://visitwarroad.com/pedal-warroad

I only have a single handlebar mounted mirror on both of my e-bikes. I am giving some thought to adding a second handlebar mounted mirror. For those members here that use handlebar mounted mirrors, do you just one or do you have two mirrors?

My first e-bike has no throttle. The second one I bought does. It is a fat tire e-bike that I bought for winter. I didn't think I would ever use the throttle, but I find that I do if I am at a busy intersection and want to cross more quickly. Occasionally, I am in a spot where I am slowing...
