    Rambo Krusader 2.0 Battery Won't Release?

    I have a Rambo Krusader 2.0. Yesterday, after my ride, I tried to remove the battery, but the latch wouldn't release the battery. Has anybody else ran into this issue? I called Rambo Customer Support and they suggested that it might be the latch on the battery. I was able to remove that battery...

    User Selectable E-Bike Class.

    While I can't answer that, I do know that when I am riding my Class 3, if I get to 28 MPH, I no longer get pedal assist. Why couldn't the throttle couldn't be disabled once it is switched to Class 1 or Class 3?

    Do cell phone holders damage phones?

    Has anybody here used their old phone that is no longer their day-to-day phone for this? If you enable the hotspot on your primary phone and keep it somewhere safe on your person and then connect the old phone via wifi, that could be a good way to go for some people. The issue I have with a lot...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    It is a bit higher than that in Minnesota, of course. Granted, the article is 12 years old, so the numbers of unlicensed drivers has gone up. https://www.startribune.com/one-in-eight-minnesotans-on-the-road-don-t-have-valid-licenses/243737901 One in eight Minnesotans on the road don't have...

    User Selectable E-Bike Class.

    I was in a local bike shop this morning and saw one that allows the user to select between Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. I went to Google and it turns out a number of bikes now allow user-selectable classes.

    HSA/FSA Reimbursement For A Bicycle Computer

    Update on this. I bought a Garmin Edge 1050 on Saturday, February 21st, 2026. I returned it two days later. I have plenty of experience with Garmin products, but this one disappointed me. I opened it up to charge it and do a firmware update. I was able to connect it to my computer with a USB...

    HSA/FSA Reimbursement For A Bicycle Computer

    While I don't necessarily need a Garmin Edge 1050, this one interests me because it has a touchscreen and a 3.5 inch display. The part about HSA/FSA eligible for qualified customers caught my eye. I am just curious if anybody here has purchased a bike computer and been reimbursed with HSA/FSA...

    Vacation planning with E-Bikes

    My wife and I have been vacation planning with e-bikes for the past year, too. Tuscon was great. Laughlin NV/Bullhead City AZ was not great.

    Recumbent E-bikes

    The photograph above reminds me on biking in the Laughlin NV/Bullhead City AZ area recently. The first snapshot is the bridge over the Colorado River. It was very narrow. The second picture is the trail near Davis Dam. It was also very narrow. The third picture is on the road over the dam. I...

    Gender Neutral Spanish

    Why would you want to do that? AI Overview No, the Spanish language is fundamentally gendered, and there is no official, universally adopted "gender-neutral" version, in Mexico or elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world. Traditionally, the masculine form of nouns and pronouns has served as...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    On the other hand, ATVs and UTVs seem quite popular in Minnesota. Traditionally, ATVs and UTVs get put away when snow cover is here and snowmobiles come out. However, like you mentioned with the lack of snow, snowmobiles seem to remain in storage and many ATV/UTVers are extending that season. We...
