Towing a trailer I would make sure what you pick has a twist or thumb throttle. You would be using it to top the crest of a hill or help you get started on an uphill start.

My mother had a pressure cooker that she used frequently. Not sure those old cookers had the safety components of newer ones. If I had a pressure cooker made in 1917 I would be afraid of it. Mostly what I use a pressure cooker for is chicken gizzards.

I now use a helmet mounted mirror after trying several other solid bike mounted configurations. Using a helmet mounted mirror certainly takes a bit, well quite a bit of getting used to but once I did it works the best for me. There are some downsides to the helmet mounted mirror like having to...

Nothing, nothing especially oil on the rotors please. Change the pads to a less grippy material.

I am a creature of habit. I tend to ride leisurely the same 4.5 mile route at about 10 to 12 MPH every day. As I ride I enjoy checking out everything around me so I don't go very fast. As I observe other riders many seem their goal is ride fast and cover as much territory in as short a time as...

I would venture to say near 100 percent of them are made in China and am betting the consistency of them is, well inconsistent. I drive a 30 mild stretch of country road where people train for tours so I see lot of different brightness of rear lights. Some I can easily be seen from a mile away...

This is my 3rd ebike. I have ridden several others so can speak from some experience. My current ebike has a Brose motor and the quietness and smooth power delivery of it is a wonderful feature that is enjoyed on each and every silent ride. There are too many jerky, surging, whining and...

I certainly wouldn't befriend anyone who envies D. Trump. Who in the world could possibly want to be like him? Of course everyone wants to be rich but beyond that I see no redeeming quality in the man whatsoever, NONE.

This is a tough one. It looks like the metal is very thin by the picture so welding does not seem like it would work without fish plating. Maybe a a piece of pipe or a piece of a seat post could be inserted all the way down inside to bridge the crack. If the pipe could be epoxied (JB weld...

Personally I don't believe you will gain much with a front suspension unless you are jumping off curbs. You are sitting near the back wheel so a suspension seat sounds like the way to go to get a smoother ride.

I believe you answered your own question. It sounds like you have a guilt complex.

Great system that works well when all the components are in good shape. It is just too bad it all wears out so quickly and needs constant adjusting. I want a motor and transmission like motorcycles and with a belt drive.

A mid drive without a throttle has to be peddled very hard to activate the torque sensing power control to get full power out to the motor whereas a hub drive usually has a hand throttle which merrily has to be fully applied with your thumb for max power delivery. So in essence a hub drive can...

There isn't any way the cost of hearing aids is reasonable and or justified. Does anyone have any idea what the profit margin is?

It's your story tell it the way you wish.

With the dynamite prices out there at this time it may be more prudent to just buy a factory made ebike.

Ride1Up has saddle type bags $60.00 for the pair. They hold a lot.

Batteries are very reasonable at Costco.

Been riding two wheelers all my life and used all kinds of mirrors. At an advanced age or 84 I am now using a helmet mirror which took me quite a while to get used to but once I did I do like it. Not easy to get used to though and it does need to be adjusted just right. I is also causes less...

Because they are cheap? Come on Stefan that is not even a valid point. Bicycle drive train components are not strong enough to withstand heavy loads of a cargo bike. Building a cargo bike with normal bicycle mid-drive drive components is sort of like building a gravel truck on a car drivetrain.
