I could say I feel your pain, but, alas, I can only feel my pain. Coming off a motorcycle at speed would truly be a terrifyingly painful experience. You have my sympathy. I had a competition use 250 Honda Elsinore for a short bit. Sold to me cheap because the owner migrated from southern...

I must be doing something wrong, I wrecked my body on bicycles. I've been good so far on motorcycles. Love your seat. Does that sound kinky?

Probably not a big production run, but on the bright side you get to to start the thread on this ebike.

On my electric motor cycle the only brake lever/pedal I use is the front brake, but it's got regenerative braking on the rear wheel. On my Huffy Oslo, a 20 inch folder, I learned the hard way to never use the front brake if you had a drink. :confused:

Yeah, automation has been around in some form for centuries. AI is quantum leap in information technology, but is a continuation of what has been happening for 75 years. I remember the dream was to replace manual labor with robots, knowledge workers were believed to be safe from robotization...

Beautiful bike.

I would say that the bias against recumbents that you perceive might be due to the market for (e)bikes. What percentage of bikers ride a recumbent?

I built four motor wheels so far, all thanks to Grin's (ebikes.ca) tutorial videos, spoke calculator, and spokes. The cost of a rim and spokes (and the time) should best be used on a decent motor. Grin's spokes are reasonably priced, but not shipping, and a custom duty is due. Regardless, lacing...

I'd go for the Portola as it has a lower step through, a more powerful motor, and is 5 pounds lighter. Range might be limited by how long you want to sit on a bike, and pedaling will make you go farther. Though, if you want to pedal get a bike that feels good for you to pedal. That would entail...

My opinion is that old people on ebikes shouldn't be locked on their pedals, and, as such, I ride unclipped. YMMV.

That could be an heir to my Huffy Oslo. Great price! The Oslo was a pretty good 20inch folder ebike, but it ate a $150 to get there, on top of the $350 for the bike. Do the brakes on your bike squeal?

Got this one in my 'hood. Didn't even know who henry was until this thread popped up.

Boy, if you're riding to that music, well I think I need to take a nap! Though, good for you, boosting the BPM. :)

Back to the original topic about these under $300 mid drive bikes (I factored out the shipping cost.) The frame appears OK, and the motor and battery work well. But everything else is super cheap. So. it's a yes and a no as far as this ebike in concern to the question "Do prices reflect...

Some mid drives have throttles. I have one (a Bafang BBS02), no pedaling needed. European and Japanese mid drives usually don't because they conform to their jurisdictional regulations. The US is the wild west of ebikes, but we don't build motors or controllers. It all depends on how the motor...

Welcome. So you want the motor speed controller replaced? Why? You might be able to contact someone. Their website's still up: https://fattebikes.com/pages/contact .

Just thought I'd celebrate the end of my Crazy Walmart Mid Drive Deal! I bought three of them, and after replacing the seats and brake calipers they are a sweet ride. About $440 in each bike, which includes bike, shipping, parts, and taxes. Labor, as always, is free. One is now my around town...

I had that happen while riding a motorcycle on a winding road. The bug landed between my lips, turned and stung my lower lip. My vision went black for a moment, and I gently braked to the side of the road. Had a first date with someone that night, and they didn't care too much about my big old...

When did the Trump administration start caring about workers rights, and when have they ever spoken the truth. To them, this is just a lever to use against Taiwan in the present trade dispute. The jewel of Taiwan's industry isn't bicycle manufacturing.
