It’s kind of neat to be seeing e-bike ads (streaming) on TV. That’s a new one on me. I’m trying to recall which brands I’ve seen advertising — so I guess the ads aren’t that effective — but I can certainly tell you that I’d rather see these than the ubiquitous drug ads that plague the channels...

I’ve been looking into marine applications of electric (battery) power. Of course, almost all large ships use electric motors, but I was more interested in personal water craft. Anyway, I started reading about “deep cycle” AGM (glass mat), which is some tech that I previously knew nothing...

This is a new one on me, and my first impression is that it’s a very good idea/feature. The new Juiced Scrambler — a high-powered dirt bike-ish affair — has “parent mode” which limits speed/power. I haven’t read up on the details, but this seems like a good way to avoid abusive riding for...

Hi gang, The new Juiced Scrambler is out. Pretty cool and (I think) even more powerful than its predecessors — before Juiced was owned by Lectric. Clearly meant to be a dirt bike-style ride; looks like a ton of fun. https://juicedbikes.com/products/scrambler Welcome back, Juiced. One...

Some of you have heard me whine about the rampant use of acronyms / abbreviations on the forum, particularly when I was a newbie. Anyway, this morning an email caught my eye from one of the online tool stores that I frequent: "The LBS results are in and so are the sales!" I took a triple...

Wow. These new aluminum (ADV) and carbon (EXP) eMTB models look awesome, and extremely powerful! Wow! Congrats, Aventon! https://www.aventon.com/products/current-adv-ebike

Hey, I just read some email that Aventon is going to start distributing in Germany. Congrats, Aventon.

Hi gang, I’ve been intrigued by the recent introduction of the Aventure M fat tire ebike. There aren’t any other new, mid-drive 26” fat-tire ebikes these days as it seems the demand has waned since COVID. Aventon seems to be the only remaining manufacturer that’s innovating in this space, in...

Was just reading up on this bike. It’s been out for a few months, and I wonder if anyone has gotten one and/or written any review(s) on EBR about it. Aventon has applied their (A100) mid-drive motor to a fat bike. I’m not sure if any other manufacturer is making a fat bike like this anymore...

Hi gang, I was wondering if any of you get leg cramps during the night when you’ve ridden during the day… On average, I’m on the bike about 1.5 - 2 hours when I ride. I occasionally get hamstring cramps at night (sleeping) which are sometimes a bit shocking and they can takes about 15-20...

Are clipless pedals out of style or is it an ebike thing? I don’t see many (any?) of us using them. I was never much of a fan, but I did use them for a while back in the late 1990s and early oughts.

OK, gang. What’s the deal here? I was looking at the RadRunner (not the “Max”) and it’s a single-speed hub drive. I realize this is supposed to be a cargo bike, but I don’t really understand how this would work in practice. It’s a bike, after all. Maybe my thinking is wrong. Is the motor...

Hi folks, I’m starting this thread to help folks find stuff for their Juiced bikes since Juiced went kaput last year and is now (hopefully) rebuilding under Lectric’s ownership. Please add to your sources below, if you care to. It’s tough keeping these bikes going without the brand’s access...

Hi gang, This new RideWithGPS trip planning feature might be of some use. It’s available for all users. I know some/many of you use RWGPS. FYI, I haven’t tried it yet as I haven’t done any planning with RWGPS. Their map overlays have been very useful for me for my local riding.

Bought Fättie about 6 months before Juiced went under in 2024… Is anyone (else) still putting miles on their RipCurrent S? I just rolled over 3000mi today, which is not bad for a year and a half, with about 2 months of downtime from needing to get parts, etc. Due to failures, I’ve had to...

So… When I asked about solid state a while back I got crickets. I wonder if anyone will chime in here regarding LiFePo4: I’ve been reading up on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePo4). This technology seems far less prone to fire danger than current lithium ion batteries. I know a guy who built a...

Hi gang, Just a heads up, FYI. No association here with Velowave other than I just bought something from them that was properly delivered. Velowave is getting rid of their remaining Juiced stock… This could be an opportunity, but of course only if you want to get in bed with a failed bike...

Hi folks, I see the following frequently. On another forum, it was noted that A.I. bots (or should I just say A.I.s) were putting a tremendous load on that forum. I wonder if the same is happening here? I was just wondering if I was alone in seeing this (could be a networking problem for me)...

Hi folks, I’ve been studying these Lankeleisi dual-motor bikes a little bit as I find them very interesting. I was wondering if any of you know/understand what is going on here at the crank / bottom “bracket”. Note, these bikes have front and rear hub motor drives; they are not mid drives...

Hi Gang! I recently contacted one of the ride mapping software vendors about integrating some sort of emergency button in their app. I’m basically talking about the need to contact emergency services in the event of a serious bike accident. The upshot of that conversation is that pretty much...
