I've been using Stans with tubes since 2014 with 700X40C tire, 26X4, 26X2.3, and 26X4.8 tires all with tubes. It works for me in my riding environment in the southwest with cactus plants and goat heads. Slime for tubes would probably work just as well; but, I've tried Stans on the suggestion...

I purchase Stans in box with 2 oz bottle. I add Stans to the inner tube of my two Radrovers, two Radcity step thru, and my Himiway Cobra Pro. I have a valve stem remover to make it easier to add Stans in the tube. No problems all four seasons with Stans or feel/hear any of the sealant inside...

That just might be the differences between a $35 swift 500 light compared a $250- $450 Enduro Pro 1800-4200lm lights.

The Rio Grande trails are very nice with several easy access points for walkers, joggers, (e)bikes, wheelchair, and horse riders. Just give horse riders the right away and slow down or even stop to let them pass. Don't want to spook a horse and have it throw the rider. I've seen more people...

I've been riding the Rio Grande river Bosque paved, double-wide dirt, and single track trails since 2014. I've rode the bike paths down past Rio Bravo Blvd, behind Bosque School off Coors/Montano Blvd, west/east on the Paso Del Norte paved bike paths towards Balloon Biesta Park or south toward...

Flats are a pain when they happen. I started out with always taking my bikes to LBS for repairs at first; but, eventually started fixing my flats on my own. Saved me a lot time and money to get me back on the road faster doing my own repairs.

Congrats on the new Himiway! I purchased a Cobra Pro last fall with Tannus inserts. They do add a little weight to the tires and I feel more tq steer with under 20 psi with my 4.8" fat tires. I had to up the psi to 30 to eliminate the front wheel tq steer. May not be an issue with your...

I use Stan's tire sealant (two 2 oz bottles per fat tire inside the tube). Zero issues with Stans plugging up the Schrader Valves and no issues with the sealant working with single to triple digit temps. I sometimes need to add a 2 oz bottle every 3-6 month because of the amount of goat head...

I like the helmet mirror because I do a mix of "share the road" bike lanes down to single track. Helmet mirror works best for me in twisty trails/road, easier to adjust my head for vehicle HID/LED headlights behind me, tight narrow single track trails with brush that would knock off handlebar...

I usually keep gear and tools in my Topeak MTX DTP 22.6L rack bag that help gets me home for most common issues; which, is flat repair stuff: - spare tube (when Mr. Tuffy or Tannus Armour and tire sealant doesn't work) - Stans tire sealant in 2 oz bottles - battery air pump (Fannttik X8 150psi...

Are there any other Himiway mid-drive models on the floor or ebike dealers that have a mid-drive you can test ride? Cleaning and lubricating of the chain will be no different for a mid-drive or rear hub if you are riding either in exact same conditions. Do you clean/lube the chain mounted on...

I have a Himiway Cobra Pro with Tannus Armour in the 4.8" fat tires. I did put two 2 oz bottles of Stans tire sealant in each tire. I just purchased a Fanttik X8 Ace 150psi portable bike pump to adjust my tires for paved or single track riding. I also have a spare tube in my rack bag if I...

I'm kinda sorta did the same thing a few months ago with different types of ebikes. I have two 2016 Radrover w/ +7000 miles between them with cadence sensor, 7 speed, 4" fat tires, cable brakes, and rear 750w hub. I just upgraded to a tq sensor, 10 speed, Himiway Cobra Pro full suspension...

I need a XL bike helmet also (use Bell Sixer MIPS XL MTB). The Overade Plixi comes in L/XL size (22.75" - 24.5"). The wife and I are close to retirement and we like renting (e)bikes, take Segway tours, electric scooters, use city bikes, etc... when we want to sight see at an destination. The...

I've taken my own helmet of 3 occasions and rented bikes and ebikes at my destination. It was always a destination I drove my own vehicle and just tossed my helmet in the hatch. I would consider a collapsible or foldable helmet if you need to travel with space restrictions like air, cruise, or...

I used something similar like @Aushiker with Bar Mitt when I work commute during winter. It only gets in the low teens on average during winter in the southwest; but, feels much colder with windchill and headwind at +20 mph on an ebike. I've tried all types of heavy duty and bulky winter...

I haven't looked in awhile; but, fat tire selection is usually 100% urban or 100% trail. Very hard to find an hybrid fat tire and that would be my choice also. I ended up going with Vee8 120tip 26X4 tires after my Kenda Juggernaut wore out after 1000 miles on my Radrover. The Vee8s were the...

It can take a little bit of adjustment going from thinner tires to fat tires. I tend to lean to turn like a motorcycle compared to moving my handlebars to point the tire with my 700X40c bike. I would test ride a fat tire bike at different PSI levels. Fat tires will have more traction at lower...

Yes, you can use any size tire for riding the prepared double wide dirt or single track near the Rio Grande. The one advantage with fat tires are the really deep sandy spots in certain areas. The fat tires will do a better job of "floating" on top of the sand compared to digging in with a...

I have G-Form Pro knee and elbow pads when I ride single track. I had a few wipe outs and now lifetime scars was the reason for the pads now. They are very light, breathable, I can wear during summer time +100 degree F heat, and comfortable to wear. I once had a wipe out on my fat tire ebike...
