    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    I suppose that even though my 2020Rover St. has never gotten wet and is always kept indoors when not in use, that I will just buy one of their safety shield 13AH batteries. I think the originals are 14AH but I'll be 77 in a couple of months and my rides these days are under 20 miles so I'm sure...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    In the nearly 6 years I've owned my Rover ST it's never gotten wet or even damp.

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Question is were they stock bikes or modified? Rebuilt or aftermarket batteries? Proper chargers? Were the batteries damaged by dropping or owner negligence? Other things that I've not thought of? Too many possibilities that were not the fault of the original equipment.

    Electric Bike Companies That Have Gone Out Of Business

    I was wondering about that when an email from them offering the Rover 6 for $999. which is an awfully good price. Thought about it briefly but my 2020 Rover still runs great so saw no reason.

    Cannabis, how is it legalized?

    I got my med card a few months ago and have started to buy pre-loaded vape cartridges and really like them. The oil in them is around 85% THC. One hit and I'm good to go. They cost around $25 - $35 and last me for weeks. I really like that I only need to suck a small amount into my lungs to do...

    CBS Evening News

    I just watched the CBS news from last night and they had a segment on Ebikes. It showed accidents mostly by kids and mostly with bikes that went really fast. My take away was yes the kids were riding too fast and yes the bikes in question had too high a top speed (my opinion is above 20MPH...

    Do you ride with someone?

    No. It gets tricky enough where I live with cars passing me on curves including uphill curves. A lot of people are just too stupid to wait for a safe place to pass. There have been a few close calls with cars coming the other way. Passing more than one bike would just make things worse.

    15 MPH E-bike and Scooter speed limit announced for NY City by Mayor Adams

    Seems OK to me in a city setting where there are crowds of people everywhere and you never know what they are going to do especially when their eyes are glued to their phones. One weird thing for me is the national park near where I live that has a series of gravel trails with lots of hills and...

    hair dryers

    I saw something similar on a rerun of Two and a Half Men. It involved roller skates and a ramp. One teenage boy was in front of the ramp wearing roller skates after stuffing himself with baked beans and the other stood behind him with a butane torch. Didn't work as I recall.

    Need Recommendation For A Lift To Work On Our Two Heavy Ebikes

    That's just what I use and it works great. I can raise the bike a few inches to a few feet depending on what I'm doing. Got mine on Amazon and think it was about $25.

    How do you all use your E-BIKES? Do you go out riding with friends or do you enjoy the experience on your own?

    On my own. Roads and bike trails. Lucky to live just a few miles from a nice section of Acadia National Park that's not on the island. Several nice trails that are barely used even during tourist season. I can often ride those trails and see very few hikers or bikers and sometimes none at all.

    Must have taken some really powerful weed to come up with that.

    Removeing throttle to be compliant and responsible

    Same rule on park trails where I ride. I just unplug it when I ride those trails which converts class 2 to class 1.

    Sodium-ion eBike Battery Packs

    I've never been concerned about battery fires or a little extra weight when it comes to Ebikes. I do like the abundance of sodium vs lithium though.

    Sodium-ion eBike Battery Packs

    I would think it would depend on how much weight you're talking about.

    E-bike price increase due to new Tariffs ( non political thread) anyone hear how much?

    The cars could really make a difference too. EVs now are out of reach for most.

    Does this forum need regional split?

    I vote no. Anyone thinking about buying a bike should first know the rules in their area.
