Fwiw I ordered a RAW mudflap kit from the UK via Royal Mail and it was delivered last week to me in the US, I wonder if the Christmas mail means more small packets get through customs.

I used a WeeHoo trailer cycle to tow my daughter after she grew out of trailers.

I bought a RAW mud flap kit from the UK in prismatic red. The holes in the flap needed drilling out with a 7/32” bit so I could use them with the fender hardware. I fitted just the front flap and hopefully it will stop most of the crud being thrown up onto the bottom bracket when riding in the...

Front fender is too short and a lot of crud gets thrown up onto bike + rider. Might need to look into adding a leather flap to extend coverage.

I agree, I checked I closed the latch at the start of my rides. I presume the problem is due to a poor quality latch, plus the carbon fiber frame flexing over bumps. I read Urtopia are helping design new models for Pedego. I think Urtopia should adopt on their Folding models two features from...

Swapped out the foam rubber grips for Ergon GP1 grips. Also began wrapping a Velcro strap in front of the frame hinge to hold the latch closed, it has been springing open sometimes when riding over large bumps. Between that and the need to use the strap to keep the bike folded due to the weak...

Disappointing, Rad now have an opportunity to do right by their customers by offering a discount on a 1:1 swap of the affected old battery packs for a UL 2271 compliant potted battery. Rad say they offered a discount on a replacement battery but the CPSC did not accept. It reads as if CPSC could...

BRAIN report Verlinvest, the investors who own the Urtopia brand, have entered into a technical partnership with Pedego, to assist with designing a new line of Pedego models in 2026. A press release from Pedego announced “the next generation of Pedego products, smarter, lighter, and more...

Urtopia are launching a second folding model, the Carbon Fold Step-Thru. The Fold ST shares several components with the Carbon Fold 1 model including the motor, battery, Torque sensor, and hydraulic disk brakes. The differences between the Fold ST and Fold 1 models include a lower stand over...

After a week of folding and unfolding it’s apparent the handlebar post hinge is too tight. Undoing the Allen bolts at the base of the post does not loosen the hinge so I have applied a little poly grease.

Last night I was privileged to watch the debut of Dr Maasen’s documentary of his 2022 Ebike ride across America, titled “Only lazy Americans e-bike”. The Screening was in Washington, DC. Thanks to hours of great drone footage, and hauling a heavy camera, the documentary does a good Job showing...

First commute this morning, and at half the weight of my previous ebike it’s much easier to move the Fold around a train carriage. The magnet holding the bike together is weak and it came apart twice while pushing, so I’ll go back to using the Velcro strap from the RadExpand.

Rad Power’s WARN notice to Washington state about the closure of its Ballard, WA, HQ and lists affected staff including Rad’s CEO & CFO Micah Toll’s article for Electrek Ebikes sub-Reddit thread

For context, while Gorewear the apparel brand is closing, Gore-Tex is a patented product licensed to clothing brands. Presumably this won’t affect gore-tex liners in boots and rain gear from other outdoor brands Sad news for brand-loyal EU customers, 40 years is a decent run. I like our US...

It’s reassuring to read you’ve had a good experience with the big apple. These Motion big apple tires are new for 2025 and replace both the big apple and big ben tires. The mechanic recommended I inflate to 60psi. The wheels on the Urtopia Fold are 18” and the Motion big apple are one of a few...

Rear light is located at the base of the seatpost where it gets blocked by anything on the rack. I fitted a Busch and Muller taillight bracket to mount on the back of the rack a PDW Gravity battery taillight. I asked the shop to swap out the stock Kenda BMX tires with Schwalbe Motion big...

NBD today and I asked the shop to fit Schwalbe big apple tires with a reflective sidewall stripe. In the process I got to watch them remove the rear wheel of the Urtopia Fold and thought It might be helpful for owners to know you need to not only unclip the power wire, and remove the the left...

NBD for me (Urtopia Fold) at the electric broom charging station…Happy Halloween everyone!

A review of another British step-through, the ARCC Rosemont electric, that uses Bosch power tool batteries. The reviewer doesn’t seem impressed by the Bafang hub motor, but the ARCC system was designed for much lighter weight Moulton conversions.

Yes, disappointing this means I can’t use specialty suppliers like Dutch Bike Bits
