    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    This chart can translate to crashing a bike because a human body is a human body. A couple of blocks away a guy died when taped by a car. The driver was looking left at oncoming traffic to merge. The ped was walking down the sidewalk from the driver's right. She tapped him and he fell back on...

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    There are people doing 45 or 50 on electric unicycles in traffic! Maybe because they had their driver's licence revoked.

    I just ordered all the parts. It is getting a stem riser and a bullhorn moustache bar. I will use an accessory extender for the display. It will have Schwalbe 622-50 DD guard reflex tires and a bikepacking rack. I already installed the Bontrager 205 Boulevard saddle. The levers will face down...

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    I disagree that faster bikes are safer. @mschwett is correct. The answer is seen in Amsterdam. Better bike infrastructure and not bikes competing with cars. It is so safe and at human speed that helmets are not needed.

    This one sold before it was complete. The owner fell in love at first sight. Even the rims are pink. 750W.

    Dave, Surprise, that bike is getting an Orion bullhorn moustache bar and we are keeping the road levers, angled down, wrapped. The hipness factor is over the top. She also gets a little rise on the stem.

    I have a custom conversion cumming up that I am excited to work on. I have spend 2.5 hours sitting down and consulting with the owner. And now we have it all planned. We are starting with a dropbar touring/gravel bike with the Shimano GRX groupset for durability. I am changing a many things...

    NSW [Australia] considering plan to halve power and top speed of ebikes as rider dies in collision with garbage truck

    P=MV. The garbage truck had a lot more momentum because its mass and velocity are greater than someone on a restricted rental bike. To or three times a week I hear a car (as @stompandgo mentioned) rev up. That only means one thing, that they are trying to do a right hook at the approaching...

    It is true about the bottle return fee. The super poor collect bottles and each season due to inflation they make less. The transition to collecting copper is not an easy leap. In So. Cal. people are ripping out copper wire to street lights and taking aluminum guardrails from highways. In...

    I think he collects aluminum cans. I just did a tune, bleed, and lubed inside the motor on a 139 pound bike. It is actually a motorcycle with pedals and it goes, 44mph. Obscene. .

    A Fire Warning For An E-Bike Battery Was Issued. It Was Too Late For A St. Paul Couple.

    POS. Everything about it falls apart. Junk. No local service. Zero. No product support. Only AI chat bots half a world away stalling, redundant. Totally illegal anywhere. For happy runs just let curry sit out for 17 days you will get them for free. Note: there is no way to adjust the inside of...

    A Fire Warning For An E-Bike Battery Was Issued. It Was Too Late For A St. Paul Couple.

    I had one come in three or four years ago for assembly, a Walmart junker. The dropouts didn't fit. It had a loose battery in a sack on the handlebar. And no BMS. You had to put it on a timer or it would catch fire. It was for an obese kid, so I locked out the throttle with a set screw. The mom...

    What happened to good manners

    Empathy and kindness are inversely proportional to entitlement. There is one powerful politician for example who is rude as can be and calls everyone names and talks about their body parts. Then there was a Prince who raped little girls and got kicked out of a royal family. And another prince...

    A Fire Warning For An E-Bike Battery Was Issued. It Was Too Late For A St. Paul Couple.

    That is so true. Remember the Boston Marathon bomber from about a dozen years ago? He used a little pressure cooker to make it explode. Imagine what would happen with a safe. Oh, this is weird, they said they wanted that terrorist captured alive. When he was hiding in that boat and it was a cold...
