Quite fond of the tires that came stock on Fättie (RST, not foldable). Over 3300 miles on the rear and only now needing replacement. I can’t find these for sale, even though they were OEM’d by Juiced when I bought my bike. I’m simply not having all that white lettering on the ones I can...

yeah, nights around here in New England have been similar. It’s been all over the place in September. I suspect October will be colder.

September’s been an outstanding month to be riding around here in central MA. The weather has been unbelievable. This has been my most-traveled month this year at over 310 miles and over 24 hours of seat time. I’m a happy camper, and so is my tush with my recent Selle SMP TRK saddle! More...

I love the skeleton man, Mule… I’ve seen a bunch of those around town this year. One guy has a skeleton dog next to the big dude, and it’s pretty funny!

Greetings from the trail… Finally got pix uploaded. Another beautiful day!: Did another 35 miler today! :)

FYI, guys, I hear that Apple’s ear buds (AirPods) now support some hearing-aid type noise cancellation in a pass-thru mode which I think is supposed to highlight ambient conversation, etc.. One of my friends told me it’s not very good, but maybe it’ll get better. Check out “transparency mode”...

Be careful, Slap!

Charge, I’ve been wondering about the 2-speed GVT Bafang hub motor since we started discussing it here: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/bafang-gvt-internal-gearing.57346/ What I really want to see, if it ever becomes possible, is the 5-speed GVT integrated with the motor. That...

I think my ideas of conversions are tainted by the beautiful work that I see @PedalUma and others do here on the site. I do imagine there’s a lot of dangerous junk out there. Hehehehe… Exactly.

Amen, brother. To be fair, there is a “Max” version of this bike that comes with speeds, but I take it that’s not how folks ride the standard version. Yup, I have to believe that’s what’s going on. Even switching PAS levels must be a very un-bike-y experience. To be fair, I was never a...

Oy. That banning from public transportation is a sad state of affairs. AUShiker, it’s certainly a weird turn that they’re only banning conversions. Are there some conversion kits that have statistically been more problematical (fire-wise) than just cheapo / crappy ebikes?

Holy moly, Chris. Wow. Talk about supply and demand!!!

OK, gang. What’s the deal here? I was looking at the RadRunner (not the “Max”) and it’s a single-speed hub drive. I realize this is supposed to be a cargo bike, but I don’t really understand how this would work in practice. It’s a bike, after all. Maybe my thinking is wrong. Is the motor...

Oh, final comment for you… Is this an aftermarket battery, or is it a Juiced battery with modified innards? I’d be concerned that it will work properly with proprietary stuff on the bike.

Yes, I had that upgraded controller and it failed within a few months. I liked it, but I just went back to stock as that’s all I could get. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/failure-of-performance-upgrade-ripcurrent-s-v2-controller.57341/

I’m sure this will be bemoaned in some more populated areas, but bike lanes and the objective to separate bike from vehicle traffic is really not practical in central MA without shutting down car lanes. I’ve seen a couple of municipalities add bike lanes on existing roads at the expense of a...

It looks right, @jwhy. So, you’re getting a new motor and a new controller? Or, are you doing the entire rear wheel assembly? This should work either way (he says sheepishly), but now I’m concerned that your battery might not be up to the task. On the other hand, if it works you’ve done a...

Hah! :) I thought I was the only one who struggled with that! :D :D

My goodness. Wow, that memorial is a somber thing indeed!

No. Ridiculous. There’s a lot of (well-deserved) love for mid-drives around here, but a lot of these guys who will happily deride hub-drives haven’t ridden a modern one -- especially one fitted with torque and cadence-sensing controllers. A lot will depend on what kind of bike you really...
