    Those are 250W at most and no throttle.

    Ebike injuries growing exponentially in California

    I am working on a cast iron bike with a huge battery, iron wheels and cast iron cranks. It had cable actuated calipers where only one side moved. Even when adjusted to perfection by a pro, stopping distance was very scary. It is getting quad hydros. My point is that bikes like this are lumped in...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    Anyone good at math?

    If I want some guacamole and it is $3.24, or $3.44 I don't blink. That's about 3%. Inflation is at 3%. Tariffs are a tax without representation, that is why we had a revolution to create America,

    Anyone good at math?

    Exactly, who for example really cares if for example a car's speedometer is off within 3%. 65 mph x 0.03 = less than 2 mph. But if you are going to Mars and miss it by 3%, that is different. Then you would miss the mark by 4.2 million miles.

    Peddle Assist not working

    I do not have specific experience with this motor. On some you can clear the code by doing a reset and then go in through the display to set to factory defaults. @Gionnirocket knows about these motors. Listen to him. When I do this it takes all of 90 seconds. Customers don't know that. They come...

    Great American Wheel Route Bikepacking

    Because she will be rained out for a couple days, I expect a good update soon. Here is the Ohio to Erie Trail. No mud or big rigs. Then there is the Erie to Pittsburgh trail that leads to the Great Allegheny Passage. She had spoken of riding to Maine but it is now looking to be DC.

    Great American Wheel Route Bikepacking

    @Art Deco, It appears that she will take the Great Allegheny Passage. That is your neighborhood. Maybe you could meet.

    Great American Wheel Route Bikepacking

    Hi Rick, sorry I have been out of touch. I’ve had some of my biggest mileage days this week. Once in my lodging, I just crash. I was able to get the new chain installed without a bit of problem. The bike is running so smoothly. Wish I could say the same for myself. I don’t have any particular...

    Thorn Season

    If you take a rear hub-motor bike with a rear flat to the shop downtown, they want $50 labor plus $20 after tax for the tube. If I inject it with FlatOut instead it will fix the flat and protect the tire for its life. I charge $15 for that. Because I buy it by the gallon I end up making $1200...

    These days I am using FlatOut. It lasts the life of the tire.

    How many little distrubeteted mirrors to force someone off stage?

    The transition

    What about when 50 are focused on one spot? I had an idea a while ago. What if hundreds brought an empty Doritos bag and a piece of cardboard that fit inside it to an outdoor rally. And all at once turned the Mylar bags inside out and shined them all on the speaker?

    The transition

    In another thread fire tornadoes were mentioned. The USA deliberately made them in Hamburg and Tokyo on civilians with 160 mph winds. Remember Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse 5? Vonnegut was there. These space mirrors could do that. To any city. It is not about the visible light spectrum. It is...

    Thorn Season

    It is Thorn Season for cyclists in Northern California from about August 7th through to the first rains in November. The best solution is to not go off-road with your bike during Thorn Season. One bike today had 50-80 thorns in each tire. The thorns are barbed and break off in the tire and only...

    Just for fun...

    Me too. I put her inside a ring of redwoods overlooking the Pacific. The light came through the trees like a cathedral. There were some bits from prosthetic surgeries, I then picked out.

    The transition

    I just read about it. A tank wouldn't do much if everyone inside is cooked. Right now most of Oregon is under a red flag warning. One spark could set the whole place up in flames. Yes, the beams from space could start fires

    The transition

    People living in the far north would love some of it in February. On the battlefield it would shine a light on enemy troops at night. And fry them like ants during the day.
