    What to buy

    Hello! I’m sure you’ll find a great bike,the ability to get up a steep hill with no input might be a challenge- 48 volt 750 hubs are great (I have one) but you may require a mid drive and put out a small amount of effort if it’s steep climb! I’m thinking the little person might need to hitchhike...

    Cygolite mounting solution

    It’s aimed a bit low in the pic but it’s in a really effective position- think of the mounts that are attached to the fork stabilizer or a motorcycle in general (hope nobody gets excited about that analogy! Ha ha - it’s an EBike) mainly the bonus is it’s actually in the center and also...

    Enjoy that new bike! Investigating info about charging your battery may extend its life...

    Enjoy that new bike! Investigating info about charging your battery may extend its life substantially- instead of fully charging every time 80% has been mentioned- just food for thought! Cheers

    I hope you find something that’s great! PS there may be a tax incentive for EBike purchases coming that could enhance your purchasing power- I have no details / but worth investigating!

    Help with ebike choice

    Maybe I messed up the thread? But if you are asking me about the battery - I can only guess,maybe 100 charges to full? Although I’m trying to avoid that because I gather charging to 80% can extend battery life-

    And also up cycling those older bikes is excellent! So much of the carbon footprint of many items is in the manufacturing- are there certain older bikes that are your favorite to electrify?

    Drowning in a sea of choices, throw me a life raft!!!!!

    Howdy! The no self maintenance may exclude so many choices- But.. I’ll go ahead anyway- you kinda liked the Rad,but want a little more on a budget?Availability may be a theme for almost every bike! Personally I own a Sondors MXS,it was $1700 Originally the fat tire bikes intrigued me! I’m sure...

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    Ha! Watts Up???? Hehe- I now know that I’m supposed to feel guilty every time my thumb activates that throttle! - linear thinking... it’s a trap I will attempt to avoid! Cheers

    50 years ago(how the #%^* did that happen) as a boy reading Dads Popular Mechanics,I noticed an ad “ make an electric mini bike” Wow! A few bucks would get you the plan- basically an alternator and a battery mated with a mini bike frame,never built it -but never forgot it either! In 05 built my...

    Ebikes every kind ROCKS

    Congratulations if your bike has a battery and a motor- anywhere! Sometimes it’s an electric moped! Sometimes it’s an assist as we pedal! Sometimes it’s all me and my muscles! But it’s never spewing toxic fumes! This is our common tie! Cheers to Ebikes! and to reducing reliance on infernal...

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    Indeed last September my ride started beautifully- as I reached my endpoint and turned around,something ominous was occurring! Black foul smoke was overtaking my path home- I am extremely sensitive to toxic air! Because of Covid luckily I had a mask- and because my bike has a throttle I zoomed...
