That’s a great looking bike, I see why you like it. Is it comfortable to sit on and ride? Do you have a question about the bike?

The cement bunker is going to be the best and cheapest way to contain a battery fire. It will naturally vent because the blocks don’t fit airtight next to each other. Fit them together so one layer of hollow block keeps the battery off the ground and you will be good. You will have to deal...

Morning Jeremy. Avalon itself if fairly flat, but anywhere out of town it gets steep. In your bottom picture of Avalon there’s a great ride. You take the road around the corner in the top of the photo and there’s a restaurant called the Buffalo Nickle, it’s Mexican food. Just past the...

It’s going to keep happening. Stupid parents buying stupid kids an electric motorcycle and letting them ride it anywhere they want. Then it’s someone else’s fault when they go splat.

This is exactly what I was thinking of. Have your LBS or a fabricator fit them for you, that way you won’t have to sell your Lectric and as you ride and gain your balance, maybe you can remove them.

Would it be possible to add large training wheels to your Lectric? Maybe use bicycle wheels for the side wheels?

Thanks Stefan, I always appreciate your work

Okay I cut it out with a pair of diagonal cutters. It took all of 3 minutes.

That’s not true. You won’t even know that the battery is balancing during the charging. Depending on how low your battery is, your charging time will vary.

Exactly what Jeremy said. Do not disconnect any lights that are wired into the bike. Ive added two lights on my Creo so I’m seen by cars.

How about Walmart or Costco? They have great deals and you can shop online. They both have a great return policy too, if there’s something wrong with it. Normally I won’t advocate for them for an e-bike, but your situation is unique.

Yea it’s clear plastic and just looks cheap for such an expensive bike.

Do you have any bicycle shops near you? If you do, go to all of them and spend time talking to the people working there. They might not have what you want, but you’ll learn a lot from just talking to them. I wouldn’t worry about the long range part, you’ll be done after an hour on the bike...

I just realized that my wife’s new Creo 2 still has the dork disc on the rear wheel. Whats the easiest way to remove it? On one of my old bikes I remember going crazy with a pair of side cutters, but there’s gotta be a better way.

There’s a YouTube video and if you follow that, it’s so easy. Pull the TCU further out of the frame and you’ll see two connectors. Unplug those, turn the TCU upside down and while depressing the battery catch, tap the TCU on your palm. The battery will fall out. Reconnecting the plugs is...

The two Creos are kept in the house, the Vados and Levos are in the garage. I’m not worried about them self combusting, but I monitor them closely when charging.

I would recommend a Specialized Vado. A used one if you’re trying to keep the costs down. It’s a quality all around pedal assist bike that works great on asphalt and dirt roads. Parts are readily available if needed. My wife and I have 1600 miles on each of ours and haven’t done anything but...

Aaaand you’ve got a solid border. I think I’ve said that before :)

My wife and I and several friends have done a couple overnight trips with our Vados. We charged at the outside outlet at the Catalina Airport and also in the hotel room in Santa Barbara. I think you are hearing about the “throttle” type e-bikes and not a pedal assist bike. No one likes the...

That’s great info, thank you.
