Its really up to what you want. No helmet, that's cool. Accidents happen so quick you just never know if you will ever need one til the time comes. For choosing a helmet I went with style and comfort as I really don't think the 'safety' to be much different from one to the next since most...

A Himiway Cobra Pro w/Bafang mid drive that has 160Nm of torque and throttle/torque sensor is available at $3,200. I would not recommend throttling around with a mid drive, but it is available and is a good reliable bike. There is one available on the net with 481miles for $2,099 from this...

You want a good bang for your buck, I ride the Himiway Cobra Pro which has a 1000w Bafang mid drive w/160Nm of torque. It takes me all over the snowy trails at my local ski area (I ride at night when they are closed). FYI

Have you checked out the Himiway bikes. https://himiwaybike.com/collections/ebikes

As a teenager in the mid 70's I was into CB radio. Back then you were supposed to have a license to chat on air, but I was too young for a license and because I was afraid of getting into trouble not having one I applied under my dad's name to get one (he never knew) KBHF5883, I used to chat on...

That DEVO one from SNL looks like Debbie has no legs.

When I was in my 20's and indestructible I did a face plant off my mtn bike into the street with no helmet. Spent some time unconscious, when I woke up there were people standing all around me....blah blah...I lost my site for about an hour, was a bit scary and got 8 stitches around my eye...

Are there really e-bike specific helmets? Doesn't make much senses to me since both bikes under normal conditions go about the same speed. If this is true it sounds like a marketing ploy.

Hmmmm, climbing hills usually eat battery but you also want long range. Without really knowing how bad your knee is, for better climbing power you need a mid drive, but you also have to be able to pedal to utilize this. If you can rent a bike to test, this might help you understand how the...

I have a Cobra Pro as well and I hang my bike from the rafters in my garage using ratchet straps. Works well, that way I can rotate the tires freely for whatever I'm working on.

Never said it was, but it is mid drive 1000w and my comment was on that part.

I ride with a 1000w mid drive bafang with 160 nm of torque. I ride fat tire bikes because I like to go off road, mud and snow!

This is an e-cycle, not an e-bike. Still looks fun, but will ruin it for the ebikes if they bring them out on the bike trails.

Many areas in So Cal and elsewhere are restricting ebikes, and some confine them to roads only. Its a growing trend, mostly due to kids being kids and exceeding the 15mph speed limit of most trails or riding fast on sidewalks. Its not hard to predict when you throw these high power ebikes into...

I would agree with this to a point...but, if someone is totally new to ebikes they really don't know what they will want until they start riding. You spend lots of $$$ on the unknown and find out a year later its not really what you wanted, its a costly lesson. This is why I like the idea of...

Since it is plastic maybe you could try some thin velcro?

I bought my first ebike in 2019 after I saw my friends fat tire bike and I thought....I need that. Prior I had stopped riding bikes because my knees couldn't take the hills any longer. Of course the ebike has resolved that and now that I've gone to a mid drive I find the riding even more...

I have a mid-drive, I stand and pedal when tackling steep terrain on my ebike just like I did on my non ebike. I don't know what controls one would need to be changing while they are standing/pedaling?

Your need really depends on your surroundings. If I didn't have goat heads I would not have needed Tanus liners IMO. Since we do have them, I would not be riding without them. As a kid in the 70's we just had to get used to fixing our flat tires, but I also think our bike tires were a bit...

Dish soap is what you use to lube tires... I learned this in auto shop in highschool way back when they had auto shop classes... :)
