    Heavy E Bike hitch rack with ramp?

    I also have a Thule Easy Fold. The only thing bad I can say about it is they aren’t cheap. I originally got the longer ramp for mine but have stopped using it. If I take the battery out of our bike they weigh about 40 pounds and I just lift them up. With the ramp and walk mode it was fairly...

    We hauled our bikes up to Minburn Iowa and road a trail called the Raccoon Trail. It’s very nice and smooth concrete the piece we rode on, it’s a little over 10 years old. Straight as an arrow that follows an old rail line. A picture of the old depot in Minburn, our truck and my in laws Jeep...

    Very hot and humid here, heat index hit 115 today. I did a short 11 mile ride before it got too hot. A picture of a windmill that still works but it’s just for show.

    Problems adding photos?

    Any problems posting photos or is it just me? I even tried adding a photo I used a couple of days ago. Mine just says “oops, looks like we ran into a problem” when I try to add a photo.

    Electric Car thread

    I don’t think EV’s have a gearbox even. I saw on the news where a Tesla truck (a big rig) went off the road and caught fire along a busy mountain highway in California. They had to shut the highway down for several hours.

    My wife and I rode 23 miles today, the longest she has ridden in a while. Still nice weather, lighter winds and temps in the 70’s. If you want excitement, this pic has it all. Pictures of two crops, corn on one side, soybeans on the other. Somethings wrong, I’ll try and add the picture later.

    I rode 23 miles today, a picture of a soybean field. I’m not sure the size of the field, the picture doesn’t show it all, but probably 200 acres or more. Chargeride I like the way you wrote out the people’s accent. It wasn’t until the last line I figured out they needed the “code”. We spent...

    Charging E Bike

    I agree, unless you can get near an outlet a battery pack is the only thing I can think of. A cheap alternative is just a car battery and an inverter like someone posted above.

    Ready To Buy ... I Think Ive Narrowed It Down??

    I think that looks like a good choice. I think I would want a fairly powerful bike like that just because you don’t want to get to work tired and hot.

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    That retaining wall is made of test cylinders, the round things. Those are taken off a concrete truck into a plastic mold, allowed to cure, then broken normally to determine the strength of the concrete. Those were never broken but the plastic mold was removed.
