The standard Multicharger kickstand struggles with heavy loads, especially with weight in the rear. A better option is the Riese & Müller Bipod Stand, which provides two-leg stability for heavier cargo. Some users also adapt the Tern GSD Lockstand Quadstruts or other heavy-duty double-leg...

thank you for your suggestion

It sounds like each setup has clear trade-offs: the gold one-cup coffee maker makes excellent coffee but is bulky and harder to clean; the lighter Coglan’s filter is easier to carry but produces weaker coffee; and instant coffee is the fastest and simplest but sacrifices flavor. Cowboy coffee...

The two types of forks you’re describing are called conventional telescopic forks (compression at the bottom, like your Wart Hog) and inverted or upside-down (USD) forks (compression at the top, like your Juggs 4).

The new RideWithGPS trip planning feature is now available to all users. Even if you haven’t tried it yet, it could be really useful for planning rides, especially since their map overlays have already been helpful for local routes.

The Aventon Aventure Step-Through is likely your best option under $2,000. It has a step-thru frame for easy mounting, a 750W motor with both throttle and pedal assist, fat tires suitable for gravel and sand, a top speed around 28 mph, and a range up to about 45 miles. It also comes with a rear...

You should raise your seat so your legs are slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke, level or tilt the seat slightly nose-down, and make sure your sit bones carry most of your weight. Lowering the handlebars slightly can also help. Wear padded cycling shorts or add a gel seat cover, and...

That sounds like a great idea! Full reflective jackets are excellent for visibility, especially during low-light conditions like night rides. They help you stand out much more than just a strip of reflectivity. Worth considering for safer biking!

To pack and ship an e-bike, disassemble the bike (remove pedals, handlebars, and wheels) and use a bike-specific shipping box from companies like BikeFlights or ShipBikes. Ensure the bike is padded with foam or bubble wrap to avoid damage. For reasonably priced shipping, check services like...

Avoid adding engine oil. It can block wood pores and prevent future treatments from soaking in. Use a high-quality wood preservative or clear oil-based sealer for better protection.

Smart move—using the Yakima rack in the bed works great and keeps the bike out of salt spray. If it’s stable and not tipping, you’re good. A strap through the wheel is a nice extra just in case.

Thanks for the detailed steps! Using the Front Carrier bracket and cable extensions makes relocating the headlight straightforward. Running the cables along the same side as the high-beam button to avoid stress is a helpful tip. This guide should make the process easy for anyone doing this...

Yes, I would likely replace my Riese & Müller with another one because of its excellent build quality and comfort. Depending on availability, I might choose a different model to better suit my commuting or cargo needs. If not R&M, I’d consider something like a Tern or Specialized eBike, but it...

Congrats on both milestones! 5 years at work and 5000 km on the SuperCharger 2 is impressive. The cycle map design sounds awesome, and it’s great to see how well your family does with one car and an eBike. The spot by the Avon River sounds meaningful, especially with the connection to the 2011...

Yes, I use a lighted vest when riding my e-bike. It improves visibility, especially in low-light conditions. Worth considering.

PAS 1 running too fast is a common issue with many ebikes, and unfortunately, most stock displays don’t allow fine control over it. While changing your gearing can help a bit, it won’t fix the high assist speed. A Cycle Analyst 3.0 can give you full control over PAS behavior, but it requires...

Go with an 8 camera 4K (8MP) PoE system as it offers excellent image quality without the huge storage demands of 12MP. A Reolink 4K PoE kit is a solid and user friendly choice with good night vision and a reliable app. Hikvision and Dahua are also great if you’re comfortable with a more...

For your needs, a few small hybrids and EVs can handle a hitch mounted rack for a 50 lb e-bike and a regular bike. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid or Prime is a great option with up to 2,500 lbs towing capacity. The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid can tow up to 1,000 lbs, making it suitable as well. Newer Toyota...

Looking for earbuds that work well for conference calls while cycling. I need something that can effectively minimize or eliminate wind noise so the person on the other end can hear me clearly. Any recommendations? 1/2 4o

Agree. If they’re charging $110, it’s not free shipping—plain and simple. The advertising feels misleading and they should be more transparent about the actual costs.
