It might be a pain; but, can you rotate your tires 1/2 through tire life? I do this with my rear hub Radrover and that extended my tire life by +50%.

I have the QuikRstuff Mach 2 rack that is pretty much a 1UP rack with no tools needed to install/adjust. My wife's Radcity rear tire fender is made of flimsy plastic and and rack arm over the fender really doesn't hold the 70lbs ebike to my liking. I can adjust the arm stop in-between the...

The roads are in pretty good condition in ABQ, NM. Pretty much all neighborhoods have level/unbroken sidewalks with ramp curbs at intersections or "share the road" bike lanes with a buffer space. The city is now including a bike lanes on main streets near neighborhoods with road repaving when...

I have a 750w/80Nm rear hub cadence sensor Radrover and a 1000w/160Nm mid-drive tq sensor Himiway Cobra Pro. I'm usually around PAS 2/3 in my Radrover and PAS 1/2 for my Cobra Pro for the same riding conditions. The 2X of tq + tq sensor help me keep the PAS level lower on the Himiway at my...

I upgraded to Rockbros 4 bearing MTB pedals on my fat tire ebike (Amazon, $35). They are slightly larger/wider than my original pedals; which, I like because I wear size 14. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH9T43J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I also purchased...

Goathead stickers are not that bad around the Rio Grande river trails. Goathead stickers seems to be more on sidewalks and neighborhood "share the road" bike lanes the further aways you go east/west from river. Plan for more goathead stickers once you ride east of Coors Blvd. The double wide...

Love the Steadyrack and I have 5 total (three fat tire and two 2.3" tire rack for ebikes with front fenders). My fat tire ebikes have Big Buck fat tire front fenders that sit further away from the tire and they don't interfere with the steadyrack (a normal close fitting fat tire fending might...

I'm up to 5 ebikes after not owning or riding a bike for almost 30 years since my early college days back in 1985: 2023 Himiway Cobra Pro, full suspension 4.8" fat tire 1000w mid-drive 2023 Radcity Step-thru, 750w rear hub 2018 Radcity Step-thru, 750w rear hub, +1000 miles 2016 Radrover (two)...

The Himiway mid-drive works waaay better when I ride with my wife on her rear hub Radcity. I just couldn't match her Radcity normal riding speed on my old rear hub cadence sensor Radrover because PAS 2 wasn't enough power and PAS 3 was too much power (close to ghost pedaling) . A tq sensor...

I also had to upgrade my seat (cloud-9) and bell (Accmor classic bell) on my Cobra Pro. I really haven't had a need to go above PAS 1 with the mid-drive compared to having to use PAS 2-3 with my rear hub. Took me some time to get used to having to shift gears with all speed changes and starting...

I use an handler bar extender to center mount a battery powered Niterider 3600lm Enduro light and have an option for a Niterider 2200lm helmet light. I only need to keep both lights on the lowest power level since there is enough street lighting and I have reflective gear on. I like the helmet...

My primary disappointment with my two 2016 Radrover fat tire ebikes was having to replace the controller 3X between both ebikes the first year. I purchased a 2023 Radcity Step-thru last summer and had to replace the controller after 7 miles on the ebike. No local Rad ebike support in NM, the...

I invested in ebikes to improve my health. My riding was restricted with my pedal bike in extreme conditions like freezing temps, triple digit degree F heat, or 15-25 mph windy days. Only rain/snow/ice/laziness keeps me off my ebike. We did a trip to Sedona, AZ, back in 2016 after spending...

I think I would lean toward to "I rather have it and not need it, compared to need it and not have it". I like a tq sensor mid-drive+throttle with the max tq and max battery size within my budget. Long term battery life can be reduced with more charge cycles. You can have less long-term...

I'm think along the lines of "all saddles are seats; but, not all seats are saddles". A see a saddle as a specialized seat that can provide advantages to the rider mounted in the straddled position (grew up in the 70s riding bikes with banana seats). I might be the exception; but, I have more...

Merriam-Webster definition of a saddle is a seat that a rider straddles. I would straddle something like a motorbike, (e)bike, reverse facing chair, or riding animal. You might have to contact Merriam-Webster and have them update the definition to include support for hands and feet? I don't...

Pretty much every office chair, airline seat, vehicle, home furniture, workout bench, stump in the woods, etc... is usually used in an upright sitting position with zero numb hands? I only get numb hands riding (e)bikes if I lean forward too much on extended rides (numb hands w/ sometimes...

I had a similar issue with discomfort on longer rides with the OEM saddle with my hard tail fat tire ebike. I switched to Sunlite Cloud-9 11"X10"X8" cruiser seat. Big improvement because I'm spreading my weight across my buttocks instead of feeling like I'm riding a 2X4 plank on a jack hammer...

I did a quick search for the Kilimanjaro Hitch Mounted E-Bike rack for a manufacturer's website and any YouTube reviews and couldn't find anything. This rack might be too new for long term reliability reviews, replacement parts, and options for upgrades?
