No doubt, that's a cool looking bike

Aren't the crankshaft seals double lipped rubber? Should do a decent job

My bafang ultra is IP65 but I noticed gaps where the rubber grommet is supposed to seal the cables going into the motor housing. I filled the voids with silicone so water should not be able to find it's way in. I don't know how it could have this rating when you can actually see where water...

But advertisements show ebikes crossing streams all the time! :)

I have an old suzuki motorcycle that by todays standards is considered heavy and slow steering. It has a very long wheelbase compared to modern sportbikes. The stability this bike affords is nothing short of amazing. There's a reason I've stayed on that same bike for 34 years. Yes, modern...

I learned by overtightening a steel oil drain plug into an aluminum oil pan

Heating w/ a torch, easiest way to disassemble, that and a big hammer. Remember, don't force it! Use a bigger hammer

It's drastic for the minimum wage worker that has to drive 45 minutes to their job and back in an old clunker getting 18mpg

I'm surprised China hasn't introduced a new ebike brand "clanker"

Our gov't tells us other countries have it much worse than we do for gasoline and we are supposed to be grateful

The pics don't show for me

MIne used R12 for the AC. Then R12 became unobtanium but being connected to aviation, the A and P mechanics had it and would charge my system for free. The car was never garaged but still held up really well until the last few years. It was going to cost more than the car was worth to fix all...

Yeah, my payments were around 100 a month so I ended up paying more than 10k but the price was 10k out the door, fully loaded which I think the only options were air-conditioning and a dash clock. It only held 10 gallons of fuel but I could go 500mi. on a tank. It had 62 HP but it weighed less...

I had a 91' Honda CRX HF that was rated at 49/52 for MPG and of course it was NOT a hybrid. I could beat those numbers regularly. Yes, tons of space in the back. I put almost 200,000mi. on that car before rust started taking it's toll (northeast car, road salt). The most fun and memorable car...

I helped a girl looking for a used car. We found a nice looking Mazda 323. I took off the oil filler cap and shined a flashlight down into the valve train. The sludge and grime in there was disgusting. I casually asked the seller how often he changed the oil. He replied "never had to!".. I told...

With the HIGH temps in the 40's, I'm starting the ride in the 30's so call me a wimp but I need an extra source of heat. I can't imagine not bothering with gloves in the 40's though. That's a great idea on the USB access Dave Rocks. My vest is pretty power hungry and came with a 10,000mah battery

Having ridden both, I'd always pick the mid drive but that's just me.

I bought an electric vest. Would be nice if I could wire it to the ebike battery but too much of a hassle. We're still in the 40's here for temps in Northern MI and this vest allows me to ride in relative comfort. My face still gets cold but my core temp stays up thanks to the vest. These vests...

Funny story, my brother bought his grandson who is 8 or 9 and junior "bulls" ebike. Very expensive ebike but top notch components. This was a gift from Santa Claus. The kid gets the bike and is disappointed. He tells his grandmother "I wanted Santa to bring me an Ancheer!". They get a refund...

I already have 3 ebikes in the garage and 2 dino bikes. I'm tempted but will pass. Is it possible to have an addiction to ebikes?
