    "Mini Me?"

    I know my definition of a "cruise bike", but I don't know yours. That's the point. I need you to be more specific. The Townie Go is a very affordable electric bike that I would put in the "cruiser" category, unless your local dealer is gouging. $1,699 for a name brand, dealer supported, high...

    "Mini Me?"

    What do you mean by a "cruiser bike", and "feel a little bigger"? I'm not following you. Are you looking for an upright, step-through, 700c electric bike that's styled after a beach cruiser? Look at the Electra Townie Go and tell me if that's it. I'm not fond of playing guessing games. Let us...

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    We took trade-ins on 6 month old E-MTB's so they could buy an Amflow. Good ones, too.

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    Amflow was "proudly born in 2023", and they were the first to use the Avinox M1 drive system. We have sold them for a bit over a year now, and we've had two broken frames (rear triangle), and some AXS Transmission replacements. I have not heard of a motor failure yet. Avinox is continually...

    New Orbea Denna gravel bike

    It takes our best mechanic two hours to build a Pinarello with TICR. It takes me three. One of our other mechanics just finished a Cannondale Synapse 1 with similar proprietary head tube internal routing. It took him over half a day. My Pinarello E5 Allroad was delivered with the TICR...

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    I read through the Pinkbike tech article that explains how it works. It's similar to a hybrid car with CVT, but add paddle shifters so that you can shift "virtual gears" if you want. I agree with you, I'd have to ride it first. However, eliminating the rear derailleur, cassette, and shifters...

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    We don't know what the real world typical range of the TL will be until they hit the market. However, your comparison of pros riding gravel bikes to a step-through commuter/trekking bike that can handle 200kg is laughable, Stefan, and you know it. You can't be that stupid. A better comparison...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Given the choice between a stick shift and an automatic transmission, I'll take the stick any day unless I live in a high traffic area where grinding the clutch becomes a chore. It's no different with an e-bike.

    Anyone have separate phone for bike accessories?

    Edge 840. The current model in that range is the Edge 850.

    The transition

    Out here on the sandbar, we have one main generation plant with three generators. The oldest one is fuel oil only. The other two are multi-fuel, oil or natural gas. We have wind and solar too, which add another 20% or so of capacity. Wind makes a lot of sense here, just not in the ocean...

    I don't use one, but we sell them. The most popular is the Wahoo Kickr Bike Shift. It does pretty much everything that the Kickr Bike does except simulate riding up and down grades, and it's $1,000 less.

    Amflow TL, 200kg weight limit, 172km range on the standard 800Wh battery. Damn.

    Eurobike 2026 ebike news

    In another thread, you said that Amflow is set to take over the E-MTB industry. In a way, they have, as everyone wants the M2S. They've done a masterful job of creating hype and delivering limited product, keeping demand through the roof and the hype up. We have sold over a dozen of them, and...

    The transition

    Wind turbines break down often and have a finite life. If they are on the grid, guess who is going to pay for the maintenance and replacement? At least with SMNR, the company can be required to buy them, own them, maintain them, and replace them when needed.

    Washington State's new ebike laws just passed.

    I have no problem with good-natured ball busting. I have a problem with condescension, elitism, and hate based solely on appearance.

    Just for fun...

    Great. Now I have to ask you, why do you have a porta-potty in your driveway? Is that for the guests? Did your wonderful wife ban you from the indoor bathrooms when she's home? Is it cheaper than cleaning the ones in the house?

    Washington State's new ebike laws just passed.

    It's not that I am doubting your experiences. What's sad is that you (and others here) turn it into stereotypical behavior, which it is not, and then hurl insults at this group as a whole. Your (and others here) opinions of riders color choices, endorsements, etc. just reinforce that bias and...

    Just think where the nuclear power industry would be right now if it wasn't stymied by politicians. Almost 60% is produced by fossil fuels today.
