The 15 mph speed limit for ebikes only make any sense to me if ALL types bikes are also restricted to 15 mph max speed.

I just don't get it? No issue purchasing a $2000 pedal bike I can ride +20 mph; but, I need pay a fees/register/insurance for a $2000 Class I/II ebike I can ride up to 20 mph. Seems like a better solution is to make it desirable to ride (e)bikes, improve infrastructure for safe biking, and...

I can understand their concern. I had to upgrade my brakes on my 20 mph Radrover for street duty because I wasn't comfortable with my emergency braking at those speeds. Factor in the average rider are wearing low viz clothing, no mirrors, no front/rear lights, no helmet/eye protection, ear...

I did the same and used a 100mm seatpost shim with my 27.2mm 400mm Cirrus Kinekt Bodyfloat on my Radrover when I needed 30.9mm to transfer over the seatpost to my Himiway Cobra Pro. Zero issues with movement with paved road or trail riding. Still have the Radrovers and I can now flip-flop my...

I think you might be using a sliding scale for the definition of mountain bike? Rad and Aventon are designed with a strong frame, thick tires, straight handlebars, and traverse rough ground with front/full suspension just like the $6000-$9500 eMTB on the list. There are different types of...

Biking used to be an investment that was extremely cost effective for a few hundred dollars for the amount of reward with exercise, freedom, health benefits, transportation, etc... in return. Not sure the $9000 Trek E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS or $9500 Giant Trance X is 4-5 times better than the...

We don't know what type of computer, smartphone, Chromebook, or tablet, or iPad device you have with what operating system and internet browser you are using to search/look at content? I find the best way is to look at YouTube and put in exactly what your are looking to learn about. Such as...

I added a mid-drive full suspension Himiway Cobra Pro recently and it came in at 90lbs, 4.8" fat tire, and very long wheelbase. My 8 year old 65lbs max per ebike Saris rack wasn't up to the tasks anymore. Add it the spouse and I getting older and it was getting harder to man-handle the +70lbs...

https://quikrstuff.com/ I just upgraded to QuikrStuff Quik Rack Mach2 for my 6 passenger SUV (company based in Grand Junction, CO). I upgraded from a +8 years old Saris SuperClamp4 Freedom hitch rack with 4" fat tire trays. Quik Rack was invented by the same person that worked on the 1UP...

I usually ride from my garage to work when ebike commuting (the building bike rack is just outside the door of front desk armed security). I try to use bike racks in plain view near the front door with cable lock if we do bike-n-lunch or pay the extra money for bike corrals at balloon fiesta or...

I've done it several ways with taking my two Radrover ebikes to Grand Canyon/Sedona, renting ebikes at the destination (Santa Barbara & New Port Beach), and taking my bike rack/bike gear with me and rented bikes for X days to ride for over a week (San Antonio). The main thing is understanding...

Howdy from the 505! I've been an ebike rider since 2016 in ABQ (Radrover and Radcity). Unless something has changed recently, Class I & II with 20 mph max speed ebikes have all the same rights and privileges as pedal bikes on the share the road with cars bike lanes, being able to ride your...

The bad thing about this rule is it only targets ebikes that can travel +15 mph. The weekend "tour de France" type speed pedal biker are usually between 17-22 mph (sometimes in wolf-packs) on the same bike trails and roadways without any restrictions. It would make sense if this law was for...

I love to get the best deal possible with price, features, reliability, flexibility, etc... It is just BEVs are not the best deal possible at this time for most of us (including me). We wouldn't have any issues with BEVs if they had a 1000 mile range minimum, took 10 mins or less to charge...

Exceptions do not make the rule. There are also fail diesel, gas powered, electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles over the years. For every successful Accord/Camry, there is a Pontiac, Mercury, or Saturn in the junk yard. BEVs are the answer; but, that doesn't mean your one Ford model will...

Not sure how you get "rock and rock debris" in the middle of a city unless you are doing construction? I only see horses for parades, mounted police, or romantic horse drawn carriages now days within city limits. The point is the BEV is here to stay and petrol power vehicles are on the way out...

Exceptions do not make the rule. Check out this Wikipedia for a list of hybrid vehicles over the years. How many are still around compared to the gas only versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hybrid_vehicles

My MDX/RLX hybrids are performance hybrids with the same EV system components you find in the +$150,000 Acura NSX sport car (just have a different V-6 engine for each vehicle). Increased performance, handling, and braking using EV components with the side effect of improved mpgs instead of...

I wish automakers would provide more hybrid and plug-in hybrid options to fill the gap until the EV infrastructure is built up. I have two hybrid vehicles (19 Acura MDX and 18 RLX). They are not plug-in hybrids, has the same mpgs for city/combined/highway travel, both have 30-70 more hp/tq...

Adding the option of extra AA battery powered X-mas lights once a year wouldn't be a deciding factor on purchasing one brand over another. Having an 2-5 year extended warranty option, improved customer service, local shop repair network, repeat buyer discounts with registered 1st time owners...
