A good quality local bike store should easily be able to handle all the mechanical components of an ebike and work on them for you. I took my Surface 604 to a LBS in Lacey WA and no issues tuning and adjusting. Same with my Rad Mini (when I had it) here in WNY. What they may not work on are the...

Short answer - yes. Worth it for the piece of mind when you're riding something capable of 28MPH.

Lectric Bike Manual v1.1

I have looked at almost every single folding bike that Court has reviewed, and simply on specs alone the Lectric XP is unquestionably the winner in terms of bang for the buck. One thing you get accustomed to if you watch enough of Court's videos is hearing about all the various components, and...

Currently, I think the best Lectric XP video review out there is KevCentral's follow-up review. He posted an original review when he first got his prototype, and then posted a second review two months later, with some upgrades and modifications. Here's the link if you haven't yet seen it:

Thanks, but probably gonna wait for my Lectric XP to arrive.

Absolutely fascinating. No refrigeration either. This is the kind of design that could easily be adapted to a Rad Burro I think.

I dunno. I want to like it, but in truth I don't see a "best-use" case for myself. At 215 lbs, I can only add 85 lbs of cargo. I can't really carry an extra passenger other than an 85 lb. child. Top speed is 20 MPH, which is a little too slow to keep up with city traffic. It doesn't fold, so a...

Hey - I did Rt. 66 at 66 as well - but in a Mazda 3 Hatchback :cool:

Totally agree. What you say is absolutely true. But I would assume the same hazards apply to any bike cruising a highway shoulder, especially pulling a trailer. I would totally consider decking out the rear panel with as much safety paraphernalia as possible.

Haha! The dimensions say that the width of the Rad Burro is 45", which is 3'9", which is 3" shorter than the average shoulder width of a 2-lane state highway (following general specifications for highways when possible). So this will fit inside the average shoulder when available. I may be a...

Classification is an interesting conundrum. Not fast enough and probably too wide for state roads/shoulders, too large for bike paths. But if this thing can be ridden unlicensed and (presumably) uninsured on city streets for delivery, why not on state road shoulders? It's a gray area for me, and...

Thanks - this was quite interesting. One could imagine a package that could bolt onto the palette platform and fold out into a tent, following the design template of a lot of these offerings. I was thinking of something that required no set-up at all - just open the door and climb in - but that...

Recently I watched Court's review of the Rad Power RadBurro, a very beefy trike designed to replace things like maintenance golf carts, utility carts, and small delivery vans. It has accessories such as a flat palette base, a delivery cargo box, a truck box, and even a pedicab attachment. While...

@harryS Thanks for your reply. Very helpful. I had a 2019 RadMini but circumstances meant I had to relinquish it to one of my sons who needed transportation other than a car. In considering a replacement, I ran across the Lectric XP, which looked too good to be true when compared with the...

It's just the old "horse and carriage" vrs. "horseless carriage" argument all over again. It's an argument that's been going on since motorized transportation was invented.

Greetings! I would be curious to know how much it has cost to do all these modifications, and how much that has added to the original cost of the bike. The reason I am curious is that I wonder about buying a folder like the Ecotric (which is currently unavailable) and then having to purchase...

They will certainly get a lot more clicks. It's a rather expensive model, though, so sales may be another question.

Here's an article for your reading enjoyment in the New York Times about the continuing rise in sales and popularity of ebikes: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/20/opinion/electric-bike-aging.html
