I'm at roughly 60 miles now. I still don't ride it like I thought. A few things I've discovered. They (Lectric) claim it has a super high resolution cadence sensor that contains 100+ magnets for "instant engagement". I swear mine has a 7 magnet cadence sensor. Sometimes it takes forever for the...

Thanks m@Robertson for the video links. I take it your cargo ebike is more money than my cheap-o Xpedition, even my ONE (combined). Either way, getting a bike stolen stinks! I'd be bummed if my basic moped got stolen. One day I'll upgrade to something premium, so I think of this as training in...

I was watching a Inside Edition special today on insurance fraud. A car will stop on the interstate in front of you, you stop and they slam their car in reverse-claiming you rear ended them. Up to four bums will get out holding their neck. Dash cams should be mandatory for all vehicles at this...

Any questions ask away.

I appears the thieves with the battery powered angle grinders are moving south from D.C. and Richmond into my area. I have yet to meet someone personally that has had a U-lock cut but the rumblings are strong in the bicycle community. So I decided to take the plunge and invest in some modern...

31.8 is the size of the seat post. It's a weird size and when you order a, say, suspension post that says 31.8mm you'll get a smaller size with shims. The cheap Lectric pogo post is 31.8, so no shims needed. I have no hatred for shims but try to avoid them when necessary. Picture of stock post...

The batteries are not proprietary. My co-worker learned this little fact. The dented battery from the RipRacer also fit his Addmotor fat tire 26" ebike and worked normal. He ended up giving the Addmotor away and I think he tossed in the RipRacer battery. Either way, batteries are not proprietary...

I admire all of you who can eat spicy and/or hot food. My tummy can no longer do it. I ate one of those peppers from a Kung-Pao order from Panda Express and got laughed at by everyone at my job! I turned super red! But we had a lady who has since retired but if I see her I'll ask her. She made...

I ran my phone over with a motorcycle. Don't worry, I'm fine. I hope the pictures came out okay.

Seat security courtesy of HexLox. Kinda complicated but you'll figure it out from the pictures posted on the HexLox website. Ask any questions about eithe, or both, HexLox add-ons!

Front wheel security courtesy of HexLox. This size fits/replaces the original quick release front thru axel.

Wal-Mart used to sell big booty Schwinn branded seats. Comfy and durable. Check there. They (Wal-Mart) also sell Sella Royal seats that are Made in Italy. They have a big gel seat that's pretty comfy as well. Quick tip if concerned: If you buy a few seats to try and end up with a few extras you...

If that is a solid axle at 26tpi I just gave away 2 of those, 4130 heavy duty extra long. Both axles also had cones with dust deals, bearings and all other hardware. I ordered them from SE Racing to rebuild some loose ball hubs and managed to salvage one of the original axles. Ordered 2 and they...

Or a Lectric XPLite. They also have that dope lavender color. Simple single speed, throttle, folder and right around the price of the Portola. Stupid Lectric key design for the battery is the only gripe. It should be easier on a high-step bike (I would hope).

Just out of curiosity, did you take the Troxus ebike out for a spin? Do they have one for rental? I have a local ebike shop that now sells Troxus, Aventon, RadPower, Lectric, AddMotor trikes and even Jack Rabbits! The owner keeps telling me how great the Troxus is and tells me to take one out...

MeToo, do you need a battery? My co-worker might still have the long range battery from the Juiced RipRacer that I trashed. I don't recall the specs but it was from the faster/higher speced model. The case has a dent but the battery is literally brand new with no miles. I'm not sure how shipping...

I consider 3" semi-fat but I see your point in wanting something normal sized. A few questions so we can help you further. How do you plan on charging this ebike? Easy removal might be important. Is it to be parked outside in a sketchy area? Good security might be needed. Do these Amazon ebikes...

My first van was a Toyota VanWagon, the cargo version. I purchased it off a guy who's dad owned a small janitorial company and the dad passed, so his son sold me the van. It had a broom and mop dancing on the side with a logo (J's Janitorial). I LOVED that van so much. The best thing about...

That Sprinter van is the bomb!
