Ebikemotion X35 uses a speed sensor paired to a cadence sensor. It’s actually very good for a cadence sensor bike but not anywhere as good as what you have now. So if you like an eBike that feels like a bike, keep the Grail :On. You already have a super nice bike. In this case, the grass is not...

Another fun day with the monkeys.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work without the proper axle. I couldn’t find a thru axle on Robert Axle without going custom but Burley had one at a lower price so I went for that.

It’ll do the job just fine. I used to tow both my kids in their Burley with a 250w hub drive bike. It took the edge off but it was a heck of a workout. The middrive on the Vado SL has much more useable torque since it can leverage the rear gearing.

For that budget, I'd personally take a good look at the Eunorau G20. It has a middrive that will help with those hills in a much more efficient way than a hub motor.

This is the off topic section. It's as good a place as any. A lot of us use micro-mobility vehicles as tools for covering distances. I for one hope to see more of this kind of thing. One less car is good for all of us.

Oh cool! Looks like they're no longer using the eBikeMotion X35 system that employed a cadence+speed sensor. This seems like a pretty good value if someone is looking for a relatively light-weight bike that feels like a bike and doesn't ride in super steep or sustained hills.

I’ve had flu that felt worse, too. But my bout of Covid lasted much longer than my typical 1-2 days of flu suffering.

The earlier reports did indicate that smell and taste senses were not effected. I’m making an assumption that the strain I (and my entire family) got is Omicron. My household members did not all test at the same place. The reason I’m making that assumption is that when our daughter tested, it...

It'll get to almost everyone at some point but here's my story. Was vaccinated early on in March 2021 and got the booster mid November 2021. I'm a government employee that has some interactions with the general public in a public building where there is a strict masking policy. We sparingly...

Del Valle? If it is, it’s been too long since I’ve been there. And I’ve never taken a bike ride over there…just a bit of fishing.

See, I look at where you ride and I wish I could ride there, too. 😁 We definitely don’t lack trails around here but not that many with awesome tree cover and mixed terrain unless I go to MTB specific spots…and my bike would be major underbiking. And I don’t mind underbiking but I’d be holding...

How often will you need a cargo bike? I thought I wanted one before but I like having a nimble commuter and leisure bike for most uses. I really don’t think I’d enjoy riding a cargo as my only bike option. When I want to take the kiddos along or want to carry a load of groceries, I attach the...

And here’s a short vid of my ride yesterday

Haha! I place stickers on all the LEDs in our bedrooms. All the other stuff I leave alone. They work as a night light for the occasional night time bathroom trip.

Yup I remember those. If it has a DVR, it likely has a spinning hard drive as well as an inefficient processor.

We recently moved from the Peninsula to the North Bay Area in California. I’ll miss some of the rugged coast we used to ride but I’m absolutely floored by the hills especially after a little bit of rain to bring out the greenery.

I pick it up. 😁 If that ever becomes a problem, it’ll have a permanent spot on the floor.

I just installed one of these minimalistic wall mounts for my bike. And even though it’s mounted on studs and my bike is not super heavy, it still scares me a bit. Maybe because my car sleeps under it. 😆 I should put a tether on my bike for the extra piece of mind.

One is 73 pounds, one is 67 pounds. Both are very heavy in my opinion. Is it the dimensions alone that you don’t like or is weight a factor, too?
