    Bike Wheel Locking Nuts

    Go with a chain, check out Kryptonite. They make lite chains too. When I go to local businesses here where my bike is in view, I just slap the cuffs on my frame and to something secure so nobody can run off with it, the cuffs can't be cut quick with snips like cables can. For higher security I...

    Bike rack activism (let's get more bike racks out there in the world!)

    Generally if they have no bike rack, I don't spend my money there. My doctors clinic has a good bike rack. Some of those racks with only two or four bolts worry me a little. The rack at Target became loose, the nuts were creeping up and I could rock the rack back and forth. o_O

    Question for Commuters: Buy an extra charger?

    Deep cycling is hard on our ebike batteries, I would go with a second charger and top it off at work.

    The joy of running errands on an ebike

    Oh yes, I love riding to Target for grocery's, cloths, shoes, rode home with two big white pillows strapped on the back. I go to the bank, post office, barber, and stopping for an ice cream treat on a hot summer day :)

    Do You Remove the Battery when not riding?

    No, only when I charge it. My original Pedego battery is going on five years and still holds a 80-90% after three months of sitting.

    Who spent a lot on their E-bike? Was it worth it?

    I paid $3200 for my Pedego City Commuter (Electric Lady) in 2014, and I just paid $1040 for a new battery, plus $65 for her hot new set of balloons :D I'll by another new one when needed. :)

    Clocks Forward in USA. Good or Bad

    It doesn't make sense, simply because, one things got nothing to do with the other.

    Found a way to work around the Speed limiter . Anyone know if this can damage my motor or battery?

    It will stress the motor, controller, and battery more than usual. Feel your motor and battery to see how warm they are after a hard run. Last summer I ran my Pedego City Commuter at full throttle all the way home for about 5 miles one day. I had been riding it already and it was about 85-90...

    seat post theft??

    I've seen plenty of people pushing their bike with no seat on it. I don't have a high dollar post, but replaced the quick release with a bolt and lock nut. I've been doing this for many years with several bikes, and haven't had a seat stolen yet.

    What new tires should I get for my Pedego Interceptor?

    After doing some research on balloons, the Big Bens seem to get a lot of great feed back. Mine just shipped out today, in creme :cool:

    Bike Polish

    I detailed my black City Commuter with Sunlite Pro Polish this weekend. It really deep cleaned the paint, and gave it a nice glossy finish (makes your bike look pretty darn spiffy ;). It's easy to use, just spray it on, wait for a minute, then buff with a cloth. I do wash the abrasive dirt off...

    Cordless Electric Lawn Mowers

    I agree with Mike, does it have changeable batteries so you could have an extra when needed, do they have a one you could try? Otherwise go with gas, something with a turbo charger on it for the thick stuff.

    What Do You Bring Along On Rides?

    It depends on what i'm going to do. I have Pedego side bags on my City Commuter which hold enough for an all day trip. There are some nice lakes I swim in, usually I will pack my air mattress and a towel for a trip to the beach. Sometimes I take my camera for photo excursions, and I usually...

    How many miles do you have on your ebike?

    Oh man!!! Speaking of snowstorms, now we have one on the way for Wednesday thru Thursday with blizzard conditions. I just ordered my new battery a few days ago, it'll show up just in time for the blizzard. :(
