Hey! That's what I need! A robot that will ride my bike up and down the hill in front of my house! That way, I can sit on the porch and watch it bust it's a$$ instead of me busting mine!

I can't say I've ever damaged a cell phone on my bars, since I always carry mine in a pocket, but I have trashed a couple of automotive GPS devices. You are correct about the culprit being the high frequency vibration. When I installed a Redshift ShockStop stem, the problem disappeared...

I ride all the trails on my e-bike I used to do on my conventional bike and many I didn't dare before. I ride farther and stay out longer than I was previously able. I now burn the same or more calories, albeit over a longer period of time, and enjoy every minute.

My doctor told me a few drinks could alleviate tinnitus. I thought he was joking until I tried it and it works! Studies have shown alcohol can lessen tinnitus in a small number of individuals. Apparently, I'm one of them. Not practical to walk around drunk all the time though. I wonder if the...

I'm still waiting for EBR to review this one:

My brother covers his bike & battery with an old twin bed size electric blanket. He covers that with another blanket to help hold the heat in. Set on low, it uses about 50 watts and only comes on when the temp drops below 40 degrees. Keeps the dust off as well. I imagine you could do the same...

It's this time of year, when I'm forced to put the bike away for the season, that I always contemplate moving to a warmer climate. Maybe this year, the wife and I could spend Jan. & Feb. in Florida and take the bikes with us.

Would make a great Darth Vader costume!

I don't think spiked tires would work as well on wet leaves as they do on ice. Wet leaves are often "layered" and difficult for the studs to penetrate down to a solid surface. Another factor is, leaves can obscure root heaves or potholes in the trail surface and sometimes cause loss of control...

The problems I have with heavy gloves are shifting and using touch screens. They are often too bulky to use the shift mechanism effectively and are too thick to activate icons on a touch screen. I solved the shifting issue by converting to an electronic paddle shifter: I can use a touch...

I drove from PA down to NJ to deliver my brothers bike this weekend. He's had it stored in my barn since his hip gave out 8 years ago. He finally had the hip replaced and wants to start riding again. I took my bike along with the idea of riding the Henry Hudson Trail near where he lives. 41...

I'm not sure where you are located, but here are a few European companies that to this work: Prominent examples of European companies that rebuild or recondition e-bike batteries include: Heskon Battery Service Experts (Netherlands): A large, specialized repair company that is a certified...

If you have the original battery, you could look for a place that will repack the case with fresh cells. Not sure about Europe but there are many places here in the US that will do this kind of battery rehab work.

I frequently get nighttime leg cramps after a extended ride. For me anyway, it appears to be a potassium deficiency. I can alleviate the cramps considerably if I stay hydrated and snack on a banana sometime during the ride.

True, but the regulations they force to be enacted will remain.

The sad part is, the idiots like him will just ignore the regulations they cause to be enacted, leaving the rest of us to deal with them. :mad:

There is an app for that! 😁😁 It's called Penometer, and is available on the app store: https://penometer.app/

Actually, there is a tool for that: https://bathmatedirect.com/products/measuring-gauge?srsltid=AfmBOorbLwCmbYIQwEBR72X8uImhloYur19EYhwGjP96aJNO0Cblssq1

Welcome to the forum and yes, an e-bike lithium battery fire on a concrete floor WILL spread upward to a 7' ceiling! Luckily, such fires are rare if you buy quality batteries and use proper charging procedures. Specifically, do not charge them while unattended. Ammo cans are a deterrent at...

I have the older Sena X1 helmets and with those, you can't listen to music while communicating. I'm not sure about the newer R1 or M1 helmets though. Even though they work well for communicating, I don't care much for the Sena helmets, and much prefer to use my Giro MIPS rated helmet instead...
