6, I hope you figure it out and give us some clues, particularly the two-wheeled versions. I’m curious! I’m not sure how you can ride anything but road or totally groomed, flat trail on a recumbent bike. I’m sure people do ride trails, but even with full suspension… I’m so used to getting...

Things are totally cool, but I think they embolden the foolish. :D I guess you could say that about a lot of things.

Ah. And, given the Enviolo hub and what I’ve heard about the cadence necessary to get realistic road speeds here in the US with it that sounds very reasonable.

That is a really interesting design. I’m maybe missing something in the translated pages, but I don’t see this bike on their web site. Sorry, no idea how to interact with the thing. But, good luck!

The coast guard around SF is not too fond of those guys, Jeremy. They’re always out rescuing the “brave” ones who think they can tackle the bay and the golden gate. It’s Darwin at work.

Oh my. Reminds me of a funny story… I was driving across the country and hit a bit of a snowstorm in Arizona as I got close to the south rim of the Grand Canyon… I was traveling with my then fiancée and we got to the canyon, parked the car, and walked to the trailhead of the Kaibob trail and...

jsp, I hope you get whatever help you need to get past that. You really don’t want to be riding on two wheels if you’re feeling dizzy. Good luck getting things squared away.

Anyone grab one? I offered them $800 for the RCS, but $1050 was their bottom price.

Yeah, bears are a reality now here in central MA. I haven’t heard of any actual problems due to this, and I’m a firm believer in the fact that we have to share the woods with the bears, but this is the first time I’ve actually had a sighting from my bike. I had this guy lumber through my back...

Welcome aboard, @Slowhan47 , and welcome back to two wheels.

Good points. I don’t know the stats, but we certainly hear a lot about these fires, and I find it troubling. There was a thread here recently about someone wanting to ride their bike across the US, and a bunch of people were indicating their own concern about charging their batteries in...

I had a black bear sighting on my 20mi rail trail ride yesterday. I didn’t get a picture, but he/she was about 20 feet from me as I rode by, about 10 feet below me on a steep grade that leads from the trail to the water/stream. I wish I’d gotten a picture for you to share. Oh well.

That’s true, but they are very similar, Stefan. Both technologies burn extremely hot and cascade among cells… And, on that note, I think the fire risk needs to be factored into the “suited to” argument, Gionni… I mean what you’re saying is correct, but lithium-ion cell flammability needs to...

So… When I asked about solid state a while back I got crickets. I wonder if anyone will chime in here regarding LiFePo4: I’ve been reading up on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePo4). This technology seems far less prone to fire danger than current lithium ion batteries. I know a guy who built a...

Not necessarily, Mike. Those FedEx labels sometimes fall off or get torn in shipment. Keep us posted. $350 delivered… That is crazy.

Not to be a smart-ass, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone ask that before. If Bosch doesn’t make it, then you risk it not working in your bike. There’s a lot more than just the power cells in your battery. And, you could try to grow your own, but that takes a lot of expertise. There...

Yeah, it certainly is. The high beam lighting might be worth it if you’re trail riding at night. I get it. I’m not clear on whether the lamps themselves can operate with low and high on together, Chris. That may depend on more than just the controller circuitry. Point taken on the heat...

Thanks for the picture. Maybe it’s unlikely given your picture, but definitely have a look. And, yeah, Harry’s advice to try swapping the display is a good one for diagnosis.

This is a very interesting point. I lived and biked in an area (Berkeley and Oakland, CA) for a few months where I had to ride by/thru some homeless camps to get to/from work. It was always uncomfortable for me and made me a bit anxious. I never had a direct run-in with any of these folks...

outstanding, Rab!
