    Odd comment about my ebike

    If the guy is fat, really old, a lonely weirdo or asthmatic I could see how he is "offended" with you getting out to enjoy the great outdoors. Otherwise carry some mace and be ready to use it should he confront you on the street. And/or invest in a good action camera.

    Replacing the ebike

    I went to our local ocean front (Virginia Beach) over the weekend and I saw so many emopeds! I saw a Ariel Rider Grizzly, a few Ride1Up Revv's and so many other models. I also saw a few Surrons being ridden as ebikes. The police didn't even bat an eye as long as the rider wasn't acting a fool. I...

    Replacing the ebike

    My local ebike dealer has this Segway Xyber emoped looking thing that just says "Hey police, pull me over!". It looks just like a small dirt bike, like the Surrons. I have to have a step-thru ebike. I can't be tossing my leg over a ebike every time I get on or off it, just not gonna happen...

    Replacing the ebike

    I have nothing against a moped ebikes so I'll chime in. Reach out to Ride1Up with a simple question and see what kind of, or even if, you get a reply. I always get a Juiced vibe from Ride1Up but that's just me (I hope). I like the idea of customer support should I need it. No Support/No Purchase...

    I to start worring about food with my limited diet.

    Popeye's chicken is kinda spicy. If you have a Royal Farms gas station in your area they have some killer chicken deals BUT sometimes, even if you get plain chicken, it'll still be cooked in the same pressure cooker as the spicy chicken. I spoil my 2 crappy cats and they either get steamed...

    When was the last time You listened to a record album?

    My sister recently asked what turntable I would recommend and I said Pro-Ject. I told her to just go by budget as even their entry level models are nice. So she purchased one, not sure what model Pro-Ject, but she said it has incredible sound quality. I gave her a set of Grado headphones awhile...

    Opportunity theft is the worst! The cafe lock will be a very good deterrent. I have to lock my stuff in the garage, you slip up in my area and its gone! The crime has went down over the years as the rent goes up around me, but I still take all the precautions to prevent being a easy target as...

    RadRunner 2 notes:

    Not sure of who makes the cafe lock. The box said Made In Taiwan. I know the better ABUS locks are still made in Germany. I'm not relying on the cafe lock as my main point of security. The quality is "good enough" for general locking. I have a LiteLok X3 for real security. You got lucky with...

    RadRunner 2 notes:

    I need to post up some pictures but I ended up with a passenger seat kit. I used some GT fork standers for the pegs and they are much more comfortable for the passenger, and I can still pedal without interference! Yeah, I'm creative when needed! A few more notes: The wheel reflectors are...

    Reflectors covered by warranty?

    Before I forget since reflectors are the talk of the day. My RadRunner that I just purchased had all the reflectors in a bag, not on the ebike. The wheel reflectors are such a pain to install I just tossed them back in the bag. Rad probably saved a penny per ebike so the customer can say "This...

    Reflectors covered by warranty?

    What type of pedal are you talking about? Got a picture of said pedals? I like Odyssey Twisted PC pedals but they don't come with reflectors, so I purchased a whole bag of reflectors for those style pedals. I think they (reflectors) came from Stolen brand. I ordered 6 sets and Stolen sent me a...

    RadRunner 2 notes:

    So my RadRunner 2 arrived and I unpacked it and set it all up. A few things to note since my last first gen RadRunner if anyone is interested: At the current date (04/26/2025) this RadRunner 2 model is being closed out for $999 plus tax delivered. I feel slightly guilty because my local dealer...

    Need help on choosing my first e-bike! Want to purchase from website.

    To help narrow the many choices down I'm asking the following: What type of traveling? Local or transporting said ebike? Is this for exercise or just getting out of the house? Budget? Also, why only online purchase? You handy with a wrench? I've owned way to many ebikes trying to find the...

    Happy Easter

    I was at the mall yesterday and saw that huge bunny making kids cry. I picked the pace up and didn't make eye contact with the bunny. Hid in the Hello Kitty store until the wife caught up. Those of you who aren't traumatized by giant rabbits enjoy the holiday!

    Riding without the motor

    I was coming back from Walmart today with cat food for the strays. I was on the Xpedition with my wife on the back and I had it on assist 3 cruising along. I hit a bump and I'm thinking "Wow, I should bump the assist up! Bike just got heavier!" but nooooo, the assist turned off! I huffed those...

    The gym and lack of going.

    After a few test rides I passed on anything with larger wheels. I like 20" kids bikes I guess! I also passed on anything without a throttle. Since I was so let down with the Lectric ONE, thinking it would be a improved RadRunner, I just went back to another RadRunner. I wish I could have had a...

    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    Everyone has a price in their head as to how much something is worth to them. My current motor scooter is made in Vietnam. I was willing to pay the price because I feel it was worth it to me. IF I was shopping now and the tariffs put even more on the OTD price I would have just passed on buying...
