Sweet ride, @usclassic !

Gosh that’s a pretty suspension bridge. Looks pretty new, Rab. Awesome ride (dare I say as usual?). 👍 edit: I see that’s called a cable-stayed bridge, not a suspension bridge. We have a similar one in Boston (Zakim bridge), but I think shorter than this Queensferry Crossing. Lovely.

Great stuff, Charge!

I think there are two things that fly in the face of this pessimistic conclusion: #1: First of all, there is the question of how they are managing their manufacturing. These dying/dead players racked up unsustainable debt by over-producing and stocking bikes that were simultaneously selling...

Y’know, I might be a little out-of-date with respect to the corporate jargon, but we all know that just in time (JIT) manufacturing was an epic fail during Corona (COVID). What I think I’m seeing here is a total swing (by RAD) the other way, which might’ve looked correct in 2021-2022, but was...

I’m not sure how bankruptcy works, but that’s a hell of a hole to dig out of.

🤣

Hi gang, I’ve been intrigued by the recent introduction of the Aventure M fat tire ebike. There aren’t any other new, mid-drive 26” fat-tire ebikes these days as it seems the demand has waned since COVID. Aventon seems to be the only remaining manufacturer that’s innovating in this space, in...

The Trek looks like a nice bike, MrC. The Rail 7 Gen 3 is on closeout sale for 4K USD on the Trek US web site. Is that what you have? That’s a heckuva lot of great tech for the price, IMO. Does yours have the Bosch CX motor?

Do you mean PON or your colleagues, Base?

Neat bike, that Ridley. Boy, the TQ is very stealthy. Lovely colors too, although I think I’d want to show off that carbon fibre without paint like the first pic.

Yup. Actually, I was wondering the opposite… What about “un”-powering his Trek? Is there any reason not to do that? I mean, in the case of my fat e-bike that would result in a useless bike, but can his Trek be ridden without power? I presume foofer already thought of that.

Dang, Charge. Riding through that must’ve been difficult.

This reminds me of one of my favorite movies, “My Cousin Vinny.” “Ya’ got mud in your tires.” :D That’s quite a mess o’ mud to slog through, @Aushiker . I’ve had some experiences like that on my Fättie although it was never mud that ended up slowing me down. In one case, the battery fire...

@rochrunner Can’t imagine anyone warning you off one of these cool bikes, but my only concern would be to make sure the battery wasn’t charged to 100% and left that way in storage. Good luck.

Good luck with the transition back to leg-power-only, foofer.

Being intrigued by the Aventon M mid-drive fatty, I found another worth investigating. Velowave calls the Brawny XM an eMTB, but I’m sure most of the eMTB riders out there would disagree. Anyway, while the Brawny XM is less well-equipped compared to modern fatties (no rack, no fenders), it’s...

If you want to feel better about your purchase, price out a Snap-On tool box. My son has one for his auto tools (he used to be a service professional.

Got it. A mudguard. Tnx.
