    Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon NP route suggestions? NOW MOOT

    There is always a good book, a camp chair, and a beverage of your choice. My parents liked to fish there. But if you go in the spring, the water may be too fast with the snow melt. There are some swimming holes as well. Our trip last year was to spread my parents ashes in Kings Canyon as it...

    Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon NP route suggestions? NOW MOOT

    I was in Sequoia and Kings Canyon about a year ago. I wasn't looking for it, but I don't remember many bike friendly roads and people do drive fast on the main road into Kings Canyon. Of course, you can tool around the campgrounds and picnic areas. You can go down to visit Grant's tree by road...

    Everyday is Bike to Work Day?

    I work remotely half the time. My work apartment is less than a mile from the office. I tried riding in a few times, but it just isn't worth it. I get more exercise walking to the office. Which i do unless it is raining.

    How many doctor visits have you had?

    My mother drove, but not at night and never on the freeway. She drove with one foot over the brake and the other on the accelerator. A yellow light meant the same as a red light to her. She was tail ended more than once slamming on her brakes at a light.

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    At the end of the day, the problem is enforcement at the local level. You can't solve it by banning sales on one ecommerce site.

    Overvolt!

    I don't think a higher voltage will get you more torque, but the motor will have a higher unloaded top speed determined by it's KV rating (rpms per volt). Of course more power will get you more torque and you can conduct more power with the same gauge of wire at a higher voltage. Power = Volts...

    I have been a runner most of my life, although lately I have been having some health issues that make that difficult to do.

    Semi-solid state batteries are coming to the e-bike industry – and for real this time

    It won't change anything for apartments that already ban ebikes. Not for many years anyway. These batteries are safer, but can still catch fire and there are still millions of regular lithium batteries out there. And apartments won't differentiate by what type of battery is in the ebike. They...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    Then people will just order them directly from AliExpress or another vendor. Or if they have to get it from Amazon, have it delivered to a friend or shop across the state line. These kinds of bans won't stop it.

    Is this upgrade safe?

    For long, steep climbs, you would be better off with a mid-drive motor kit rather than more power that can use the gears on the bike. 1000 watts can get you the speed you want. 750 watts can too. Even a DD hub motor will overheat on a long and steep enough hill. You can use the Grin motor...

    bought a gas generator for myLiFePO power station

    I have a natural has generator and battery backups (UPS) on all the electronics i care about. It seems like the power goes out once or twice a month here. If it is not weather, Edison is always doing some kind of maintenance.

    Green Bike Kit

    I bought a small part from them last year, a battery mount for a jumbo shark battery. I got it reasonably quickly and it worked fine.

    Battery

    I don't see the picture of your bike with the mounting bracket. I am pretty sure this battery uses the same connection. I have never bought from this vendor, so I can't personally vouch for them. I have bought from EM3EV before and they have a very good reputation, but they don't have a...

    A repair stand is worth buying, but for roadside repairs, you could get a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM7JHNFB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1
