    What's the name ??

    The one I will start working on Monday or Tuesday has front wheels that are only vertical when going straight. They tilt when turning so it cuts into corners like someone on skis. The steer tubes angle out from vertical and the wheels are tied together with a rod and ball joints. I am placing...

    On that fat bike I rolled a section of old tube wrapping it with electrical tape to make a bushing. When installing the motor I levered it up and forward as hard as I could against that bushing and the downtube with my foot as I tightened the lock ring, using thread lock and a hammer on the tool...

    I love it. Instead have one dedicated day per year, maybe the third Friday in May, will be Drive to Work Day.

    Our lobstas don't have any claw meat. You are lucky. I did catch one moments before the season opened on a pole and poached it to perfection.

    I love it. Eat a fresh lobster for me. Dipping it in a some melted salted budda, with a little lemon, and some parsley. Sipping some crisp white wine cuts the fat. Maybe a Carneros malolactic creamy chardonae with high acid. Yes, a torque sensor mid is the way to go. Add a little summer squash...

    The Tariff Questions?

    Who? Really? Physiologically. Would feel most threatened by a quear kid? Such things happen and are even in Native American ancient stories about Coyote. Only a sexually insecure person! Picking a fight with a trans kid, yes, that is their size.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    For her its a push up bra with crane grade braided steel reinforced straps for the suspension of disbelief. IMHO, sometimes less is more. But it is a public hazard because of the all the crashes caused left and right.

    Here is how the Fat Boy turned out. Speed is limited to 45 kph and cadence at 100. The upper limit is 20 Amps so I set it a 18 for a safe margie. 18 x 48V nominal = 864W. If the internal temp gets to 100C it goes to 30% limp mode until it cools. You can set all those high and low limits.

    How about the reintroduction of the pillory? Defendants get the option of jail with a record with a fine. Or 12-hours in the pillory in courthouse square. A bus load of third graders get rotten veggies from the lunch room to throw.

    The wheel magnet sensor will need to be at the rear with a three wire larger gauge wire extension and a physical extender of the pickup to get it close enough to the spokes. These things are a pain. I am putting the UL cert. battery on the boom with the discharge facing the motor at the crank...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    All you need to do is swap the hoses and do minor top bleed! One kid in So Cal had it happen while riding with a regular bike helmet and a car's wheel ran over his head. The parents had to identify the body of their kid who thought an eMoto was cool.

    Look at what just came in. He has the same illness as Billy Joel and can't ride two wheels anymore.

    @Darth_Vado, You might not know this. In order to do wheelies they need to swap the brake levers. Then they can modulate the throttle with one hand and the rear brake with the other. But if it is hydraulic, then the reservoirs are upside down. It will work at first - until it suddenly doesn't.

    @ArtDeco is in your area. There are a couple others. The Amish are a great cultural repository as insurance for when AI crashes all the satellites and anything connected to the internet. Then we will all be back to bikes and sailing ships like the 1880's.

    The new unit at the OC DA is going after parents with child abuse and reckless endangerment of a minor.

    They Call it a Fixie!

    Off topic, but just as absurd, I was reading this article on a new unit of the Orange County DA's office (Ride Safe) that is going after parents who allow kids to ride motorcycles on the streets and sidewalks, and all the advertisements were for illegal motorcycles...
