    How to Prevent Flat Tires on Electric Bikes

    I'm still hunting for my first e-bike but have many years of regular bike experience. I used to be able to locate the tube puncture while wheel was still on bike and break bead, pull that section of tube out of tire, repair it, push it back in, pump up and ride off all in 15 minutes. Those were...

    Lennys is advertising a EG Athens for what looks like a decent price. Shows it as a mid drive but i cant find any specs on it as such, all data shows hub drive including the EGUSA website. Anybody have first hand knowledge? Thanks

    First E-Bike: Lightweight and for the Hills

    I just called my LBS, very nice guy, old time bike shop and he said with inventory the way it is not to count on bike sale in spring, accessories maybe. It's his guess.

    kit questions?

    I've been looking into it further and estimate a min cost of $800, probably much more with accessories added up. The Espin Flow/Sport models were sold for $950, free ship on black friday, so unless it's a project for true enjoyment I'm starting not to see any benefit. I thought it would be quick...

    kit questions?

    One of them is a coaster brake, wouldn't think of using that one. I have a wide assortment and I do like the upper scale ones. As much as collectors like Chicago Schwinns I think one of my best is a Japan Schwinn from Giant. I'd actually think 2x before donating it. I was just thinking about...

    kit questions?

    I'm new here and have not made my first purchase, been biking and wrenching since the 60's. I was originally looking to buy complete bike but looking at kits, seems pretty cool way to go. I have collections of old Chicago Schwinns and Japan made Schwinns(Giant), do these make good donor bikes...

    Mid drive ?

    I'm looking to get my first ebike and deciding between mid drive and hub. I like the idea of mid drive, its position on the bike and that it runs thru the gearing. I read how it is so tough on chains though. I've been riding decades now and I'm aware of changing gears when a lot of force is...

    New York state assemblyman introduces ebike purchase subsidy/rebate bill

    I live in NYS and would certainly love to see this voted into law, but with the state billions of $$$ in the hole don't see too many politicians rushing to vote on this one. Wouldn't be surprised to see Cuomo veto it on budgetary reasons if it got that far.

    Gift Certificate caution

    yeah and we don't know if you would have been able to use your GC on a heavily discounted bike, as per what they told me you couldn't . You're ranting, I'm discussing. This is why I didn't mention retailer, instead of just listening to cautionary advice, you jump in to defend the retailer. The...
