There are new VR Cycling Goggles that are amazing! They tell your time, position, and orientation, speed, and have a map function built in without ever looking down at a screen. And you will never get lost because of the landmarks feature. The resolution is perfect. They work with a camera on...

Contemplation of the curb after it throttles on its own! I work on all legal bikes. I just restored a FS MTB Stumpjumper. Yesterday I assembled an all steel eBike from India. The cranks were cast iron and as heavy as a frying pan. I will be replacing the twist throttle soon with a push in type...

Ironic things happen all the time to me. I made a humor thread about Vados then ended up owning one. I made a joke about Aipas a couple of days ago and am now assembling one today. After being totally forgotten that humor thread was taken down yesterday after an Eastern Ero. guy made complaints...

My former boss owns the local Specialized shop that also carries other curated brands and models. His name is Aaron of Petaluma Motor Wheel. You can look him up and contact him by email. He can ride whatever he wants. His go to bike currently is an Aventon Level 4 ADV. He says it is a Vado but...

The more expensive the sunglasses the faster they vanish.

American Canyon police then arrested a 53-year-old man from Hayward, on suspicion of burglary and other felony offenses. Investigators said they found evidence that included selfie photographs allegedly showing the man during the $100,000 theft.

The security Torx are cool as are the other security bits. That is a Show Us a Tool thing. It also fits with the proprietary bikes that do not want to let you in to lube gears in a motor or to replace an automotive fuse inside a controller.

If I were the OC DA I would not punish. They suffered the worst punishment ever and will be haunted for life. They have been weeping as they go to public awareness events with the media and first responders. I think their last name is Apia. I cannot find the video I saw in May.

I use countersunk stainless Phillips head M5 .8 screws to mount batteries, particularly on the water bottle look ones. That way the heads are flush and do not scratch the battery when removing it from the bike. Most motors are held together with torx screws but some are held together with Alan...

I sent her to the local Aventon dealer. She was looking on FBMP at a six-year-old bike with the old style ghost pedal PAS and a 350W hub. A new one has 750W and a torque sensor that can be turned on or off. She will have a two-year warranty, local dealer support, a UL battery, and can finance...

I hope that the John Deere decision will apply to bikes, particularly eBikes. I can go to the auto parts store and buy any brand of battery I want. I can buy an alternator or fuel pump from several makers. I can install the new alternator myself without a dealer. A woman who is a friend of a...

I always have the saddle high and fully extend legs and ankles while pulling back and up. Good torque sensor bikes love a smooth cadence throughout the stroke. As pedal pressure rises and cadence rises, so does power delivery, so it feels natural, yet enhanced. Sucky bikes are disconnected to...

My goal is to get motors as high and forward as I can for ground clearance. My bushings have become smaller. On my most recent S02 the stays were so wide I needed to hammer the lockring tool to get four & 1/2 threads. I want twice that minimum. I almost wish the kid makes it into an eMoto, so I...

I have stopped using a bolt through the rolled rubber. Urethane sounds good. The rolled intertube strip is mashed snuggly between the motor and downtube and has Petmatex sealant on it.

I used a rolled section of used tube for that. I cut an oval in the middle to fit the round of the down tube and levered it in hard while tightening the left side with tons of locktight. An Apias bike is coming in for assembly. I wonder how they arrived at that name? Must have been inspired at...

I did the 'Just get a burger' for 45-minutes with a MacFox today. I diagnosed it in seven seconds. It is a failed motor core. It stutters and grinds like hell before it dies. Here is what happens when BB spacers are not used on a MTB, and the main-gear motor housing is cranked down against the...

It haunts me. Parents gave their kid the high speed throttle moto he wanted. He had a regular foam core, thin shelled bicycle helmet. When he crashed into a car it ran over his head and the parents had to go identify the body.

Yet, never both at the same time. It all depends what you are looking for.
