    The Experience of a Bicycle

    I've pretty much replaced my stuff too with electric; lawn mower, blower, weed whacker, and pole saw but in all cases went with corded. Way less expensive, more powerful, and I don't have to worry about dealing with worn out & very expensive batteries. When I feel like I need a new chainsaw...

    The Experience of a Bicycle

    Not me. I don't care much about speed but I hate regular bikes. My ex like to ride so I bought a bike back in the 90's. Spent $400 for the bike. Had a zillion gears to deal with and, by the time I was down to one that allowed me to ride up hill, snails were moving faster. 90lbs of air in the...

    What's the best saddle for long rides?

    Thanks for that link. I liked the look so thought I would try one. It arrived the other day and I gave it a 20 mile test ride today. This is my 5th saddle including the one that came on the bike. The previous was a Dalway which liked just fine but this one is better. They are both pretty much...

    Throttle disconnect?

    It should plug in fairly close to the throttle in case the throttle fails and needs to be replaced. I unplug the one on my rad rover before riding local park trails that only allow class 1 bikes.

    How far to run down battery between charges

    My rides average about 20 miles. When I'm done it shows either 3 or 4 bars out of five so guessing I use maybe 30-40 percent each ride. I fully charge after each ride. At the end of the season (late Nov.) I run them down to about 70% and store them in a closet until spring. I balance them...

    when to replace cassette and/or chainring

    My 2020 Rad Rover ST has a little over 4,000 gentle miles on it. I've replaced the chain once and both clean and lube fairly often. I have the tool to measure chain wear so know when I need a new chain. As far as I can tell though there is no way to measure cassette wear. I watched a couple of...

    Wanted, step through, thumb throttle, IGH best but SS or 7speed OK.

    I thought of that too which is one of the reasons I added the little gadget so I only use my thumb to activate the twist throttle.

    I thought that too but then realized that throttles twist backwards not forwards.
