    Weird Specialized discovery....

    I've known the owners of Ebike Alley all the way back to when they were a Pedego dealer. Good people who run a honest business. I'll try to support a local business if possible before resorting to mail order.

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    I may go to my multi-brand shop this weekend and kick some tires. A few of the bikes others have mentioned are on sale and one also includes a free battery extender! My goals are: Make the wife comfortable on the back. Find a one and done ebike to help clear out the garage. Price technically...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    I don't care if it said Huffy! Hub drives are squirrel proof, has a optional "T" word, no flexi folding stem and 4 piston calipers with thicker rotors. Oh, and those Cool Cave fork mount trash cans. Oh well.... Might look into some of the others mentioned. I have a good Trek dealership locally...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    So my wife and I are ready to move up in the run-about ebike category. It was decided to replace our Xpedition with a Globe Haul LT. But I discovered a weird issue. The nearest Specialized dealer is now 100 miles away! That's to far should it need servicing or warranty help. We set a local...

    single-speed ?

    I have a single speed RadRunner. Here's how it works.Stay at PAS 2 and you can actively pedal. Anything higher than PAS 2 and you ghost pedal. I purchased this ebike for 2 reasons. I'm lazy and hate doing maintenance, it's just a simple bike to deal with. Other reason, I don't care to haul butt...

    Aventon Pace 500 original model, worth selling?

    I've given 2 ebikes away to friends. If you go that route donate the ebike to a thrift store instead. One friend ended up selling the ebike I gave him and then complains because he doesn't have a way to get around. The other friend would always blow my phone up when it got a flat or a chain...

    best fat tire bike

    You're over thinking this. Go simple and save some serious money with a closeout Rad Power Rad Expand, for $1000 shipped to your door. Yes, 20" wheels, but a heck of a bargain. Lectric has some good bundle deals as well going on right now. Or wait and hope for a deal around the upcoming...

    What is wrong with this forum

    I get the "Oops, something went wrong" every now and then. Judging by the very low Spam bot activity I suspect it's (site) is down for servicing. No huge deal to me as when it's up everything works as it should.

    The Universal Ebike!

    I was at the bookstore last weekend and 3 kids came riding thru the parking lot on fat tire 20" ebikes. What made it funny was all of them were practicing wheelies! Kinda reminded me of riding freestyle bmx as a teenager. I'll always have a 20" fat tire ebike in the garage. Everyone that rides...

    Ebike helmet

    As someone who fell and hit my head on a ebike: ANY helmet is better than no helmet. I love NutCase helmets myself but they went out of business. If I don't like the helmet I'll not be as inclined to wear it. I now have a $200 Bontrager helmet. It's bland looking but cycles air thru easily and...

    Having trouble on deciding First time E-Biker

    See if there is a Lectric dealer nearby. Even if you have to stay a night and make it a guys night out with your boy, I'd say get a good test ride on the dual battery Xpedition. I have the earlier version, cadence dual battery Xpedition and it's been a great ebike, for its price..... Never gave...

    Gas cans and fun findings.

    One of the offending cans. The black pour spout broke causing it to no longer seal.

    Gas cans and fun findings.

    I have a Honda Generator and keep a few gas cans on standby when a hurricane is coming our way. I'll try and get pictures up of the offending cans (actually one just went in the trash can) so you can avoid them. Anyways, back to the cans. One is a 2 gallon with a weird switch lever to open/close...

    I got a big surprize....

    If you want to practice in advance for the TSA check just go to your local courthouse and watch people get sentenced. I dread going to the court house because your'e supposed to dress respectfully, yet your belt will set off the detector making you have to take it off! Same rules with liquids as...

    I got a big surprize....

    Thank you for your service. Only thing I can think of is, are Real I.D.s required for ALL domestic flights now? Be sure to have all those surprise ducks in a row before trying to board. I have a cousin who flies for FedEx and I've used the free "friends and family" jump seats a few times in the...

    Folding e-bike for small airplane

    Carrying a passenger can complicate the search. I rode my wife on the back of the XP3.0 we had and the ebike did fine but I couldn't pedal with her on the back, as I kicked her in the knees. The XP4 you mention has a much easier to remove battery (saving a few pounds when manhandling). Only...

    The transition

    Chargeride, I know where the electricity can come from! Remember those old cars that you had to manually crank the motor from the front to start? I had a friend who had a Model T, that crank was a thing of nightmares! Anyways, bring that crank back. Use it to charge the motor!

    New bike recommendation

    But what if the OP IS a bag-snatcher? Usually you steal and use a Yamaha T-Max or a Vespa GTS scooter, but I think a fast ebike would be even better depending on environment! But seriously, just buy something known with quality behind it. I've purchased my fair share of junk. How any miles did...
