    They Call it a Fixie!

    The "fixie" has disc brakes. It coasts and you never need to pedal it.

    Does anyone here "name" their eBikes?

    I have found the worst abusers of bikes are slightly autistic and are young males. Full throttle 100% of the time, in the highest power level 100% of the time, and never shifting with it always in the highest gear. One ruined his bike in three weeks from new in the box. Would someone who loved...

    Does anyone here "name" their eBikes?

    I think you should ask for name nomination submissions. Then setup a poll thread for voting on the top five you like best. I know one guy with a bike called Maverick because its his wingman, another with a bike named Mercury for the fast messenger of the gods. Pigpen either from the Dead or Peanuts?

    Does anyone here "name" their eBikes?

    I have encouraged people to name their bikes. Then they take better care of them. One woman's bike is Roxanne because it is red, like the Police song. Another calls her bike Prospero, for the wizard king in the Tempest.

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    WTF now Amazon is selling these to teens in California. They just are calling it a 'dirt bike', and motorcycle. And they are saying its for 'adults'. What 14-year-old would not like to see a movie, 'for adults'. They should say licence plate required when on streets. ESKUTE RT-X 19" 17" Electric...

    Signs of Spring

    2&1/2-years-ago, in November, I found a box of dried figs from the Christmas before. I tried one while walking outside. I bit half and it was hard as wood, so put the other half in the dirt. It Sprouted a fig tree the next Spring. Last November I pruned it down to 18" sticks, 10mm in diameter...

    Usernames...

    Along with names are avatars. Mine was made from paper and photographed on the back of a denim shirt. It is the PedalUma, pet-a-llama. He has saffron robes like that other Lama guy.

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    When on just the rear motor, not pedaling and going thirty under throttle, he said, "That is standard Class 3 mode". There are hundreds of these promotional videos. This was just a random example. Kids can also watch the promotional videos on how the defeat speed limits: Cont/Alt/Delete hold for...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    A guy said, well they are legal to possess. Yes, and they are being marketed to the general public and not as farm equipment. Instead to be used on the street. Start at four minutes in.

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    I agree; and it is a step in the right direction. Amazon gave these motorcycles some credibility and a lot of eyeballs. Now that is gone. With anyone under 18 the cops should just chop off a six-inch section of wire to the throttle and formally warn the parents. As far as I know three sets of...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    Amazon says it will no longer allow the sale of certain high-speed e-bikes in California following a consumer alert issued by California Attorney General Rob Bonta last month warning about illegal electric bikes and motorcycles being marketed to consumers.
