    Car rack--which brand

    OK, and the 93 is combined weight both bikes with batteries removed, correct? Have you seen the Swagman E-Spec, an RV-approved rack, specs up to 70 lbs per tray? crossbars look set up like yours. The stinger and jointure to rack is beefier. https://www.swagman.net/product.htm?pid=828203&cat=40497

    Does a torque sensor aid a strong rider more than a weak rider?

    Interesting question. As explained to me, a newbie to ebikes with limited overall biking experience, the torque sensor kicks in by defining how hard you NEED to work, indicating to me the weaker person works harder and the torque sensor picks up info to aid/assist. Again, as a newbie, I...

    Car rack--which brand

    thanks for the info. so, if I follow correctly, you’re saying 100 lbs each of the two crossbars, or 55 lbs each? I can say every part on our old Swagman is painted steel. The crossbars appear extruded steel bar stock. My 2in hitch receiver is coming Saturday; once spousal unit installs it, we...

    Best ebike on the market if money is no issue?

    very interesting, encouraging...and nice to know I’m not the only one prodding the somewhat-local professional bike-store guys to show this technology more love.

    Car rack--which brand

    We have a Swagman from more than 10 years ago, purchased to carry two Electra Townies. It’s a tank, with those offset tube circles attached by bracket and knob to the sides similarly to the tire trays above. I’m taking to bike dealer to get opinion on what it might carry, really just to add to...

    Best ebike on the market if money is no issue?

    another thread in this forum: scroll down a bit to the video which refers to overdrive setting correction. I’ve seen something similar required on the internal gearing on Electra 8i, except on that bike the lines are visible on the outside...

    Thank you for the reassurance! I’ve also discovered the shared video on adjusting the lines on the hub if need be. Is that to what you refer on “setup to Overdrive”?

    Car rack--which brand

    thank you for the details. touched on several questions I had after viewing the 1UP owner videos. Question: What made the Saris MTR not a good choice? It looks like a very close design to the 1UP.

    What rack for an Allant 9.9

    Thank you for the comments and photos on Thule EasyFold. I think I panicked at the REI.com reviews on breaking “lobster claw” components. I probably can handle the potential rub on paint on seat down tube. For the Jeep mount, it will all really boil down to combined length of hitch receiver and...

    Car rack--which brand

    Thank you for the thought: however, I anticipate so far the fenders on the Cafe Moto....and alas, no plans for West Coast travels.

    What rack for an Allant 9.9

    How long using Easy Fold? Look great for my application as has long stinger and I need to get under and outside of a spare tire back of Jeep JK.

    Best ebike on the market if money is no issue?

    Can you elaborate on your experience riding the Cafe Moto? I can’t find a Cort review; others are mixed on speed and going up hills. Paved rolling hills are a necessity where I live and I’m hesitant about putting out $4500 unless I’m reasonably sure to get up and over. Just getting back into...
