I just realized, I have the disc locks little brother, the Cafe Lock. I have a cafe lock on my RadRunner with the chain extension. I use it when I run to the grocery store. I kinda look at it this way. If someone goes thru the trouble to cut my cafe lock while I'm grabbing stuff to make tacos...

My 2cents. When I commuted by ebike I discovered the following. I used a front basket with the front suspension fork because I bring my lunch to work. I found if I put my lunch in the rear panniers it would get shaken and stirred. It still got shaken a bit in the front basket but it wasn't near...

Inflation is a fact of life. The problem with most of this upcoming generation is bad credit and poor spending habits. If you want to buy a house have all your ducks in a row and be prepared. That includes credit score and cash on hand for a down payment. I used to hang out with a guy who not...

I'll pass on a modern Burning Man. Not my scene. But back in the day I got to go to real deal Raves! The kind that you kinda roll into a city and go on a scavenger hunt for clues to the location. Mostly abandoned warehouses being powered by generators. Those early pre-mainstream raves were...

Buy a cable reminder. If you have a Cycle Gear near you they sell them. It's a bright orange, wound little cable. Put one end around the lock and the other over your grip. I use one religiously for my motorcycle lock, as I lock it thru my front wheel. I don't wanna drop my baby on the ground by...

I stopped at a auto parts store to look for a few fuel system related small parts. I only stopped at his one because I was in the wrong lane for the one I wanted to stop at, so I figured I'd just stop at this one on the way back (went to the hardware store as well). As soon as I enter the store...

This threads general content has changed since the 2 years it was last active. The housing market has since gotten much more aggressive and out of control. Now everyone bids for the house, and realtors love that because it means more money for them. I'm glad I got into home ownership back when...

My first Xpedition rear wheel started breaking spokes and Lectric covered it under warranty. They authorized a bike shop to fix the wheel and sent new spokes. I had a wheel building pro rebuild the wheel for me and never had a broken spoke since. It was just poor and inconsistent spoke tension...

That's one homeless guy I'd like to meet! I love me some noisy metal, the crazier the better! I don't listen to anything that's distracting on 2 wheels. Its far to dangerous on the roads and I need to be fully aware of my surroundings. All my motorcycle helmets have integrated audio and the...

Went with a friend to the local ebike store so he could test ride a Segway. We get there and he couldn't take it out because it was connected to a employees phone, who was off for the next few days. He was bummed but now he's looking at other brands. Friend claims apps are helpful in preventing...

You need to re-title this thread. That Trego is the coolest front end concept I've seen in a long time.

Litelok will also sell you just a shackle if yours gets attacked, so you don't have to by a whole new lock.

Slightly off subject but a lesson. My local motorcycle shop (Honda of Norfolk) got hit with a Smash and Grab. A bunch of no-goods ran a stolen U-Hail thru the front doors, grabbed 5 dirt bikes and vanished into the night before the police arrived. Three of said dirt bikes have been recovered but...

Quick tip: You need to reduce photo size down to 40% before posting. I have Android and that's what I have to do for the photos to be accepted.

I use a Flodylock when out and about locally. I also use Hexlox on my front wheel and seat/clamp. If I go into the dense city area I bring along my Litelok D-lock. My area is medium crime level and "so far" my locking methods has worked for my needs. Like mentioned above your local bike shop...

We went thru the same nonsense years ago when Virginia made mopeds get tags. WHAT A MESS! No one at the DMV knew what to do and there was a error on one of the registration forms that I "Took advantage of". It was almost 2 years before DMV got it together (and made me re-register the moped). I...

Co-worker got this from a family member. It was his dad's (who passed awhile ago) and the saw "vanished" from the shed. It was found and recovered. It starts and runs but needs a serious tune up. Parts are on the way!

The new owners of Rad have hinted at replacing the unsafe batteries, at least at a substantial discount. So if you have a Rad with a battery that was in that serial number bracket I'd reach out to Rad and see what happens.

I'm wondering if the laws will change here in Virginia. I saw at least 8 moped style ebikes today while coming home from the dentist. This was near our oceanfront area. Over half of them were fast, very fast! So far no enforcement here. Oh, and only one guy wearing a helmet. He was spotted...

I wish every bike had a chain guard from the company. I can cobble one together if needed but its just nice and easy when one is already included. That looks great US!
