    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    Lots of flaws, and situations that were not thought through with that NJ law. I live across the border in PA and often ride trails in NJ. Not anymore. My brother, who lives in NJ, replaced his motorcycle with an e-bike. He uses it for running errands and to get around the heavy traffic where he...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    You could add a third motor with a front wheel hub drive. 😁 I considered using a front wheel hub as a second motor on my rear hub bike. It would act as a spare, but I'd do it mostly for something to cobble on. :)

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    It depends on where I'm riding. I always carry my phone with AAA and Uber apps as well as cash. Credit cards aren't always accepted. For remote area rides, I carry quite a few of the items listed above. I also carry a Garmin Inreach satellite communicator that has true global coverage.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    The pictures I've seen show the break at or near the bend where it flexes the most. Odds are far less likely a break will occur using a short straight piece of it. As I said earlier, I weigh 250 and have had no issues with mine in +/- 1K miles. At my weight, I wouldn't trust using it as a spring.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    It appears the product is being sold under several brand names. Mine was from Gorix, but it looks exactly the same.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    I bought one with the Gorix logo which was discontinued, but it's the same product. Most of the bad reviews I read were due to the bounce.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    I see Amazon stopped selling the Gorix product here in the US due to a high number of returns. It's still available elsewhere though.

    Make do with what you have

    Right now, I don't have to use my smoke house. I can just hang my food on the clothesline with all the wildfire smoke. :)

    Canada is going to be very unpopular if the FIFA world cup championship has to be rescheduled. Not looking good in NY. Is it a plot to get the game moved to Toronto in the fall? 😁

    Just for fun...

    Only a matter of time before they figure out how to make them into e-scooters.

    Make do with what you have

    The wife fills the bathtub every time severe weather is predicted in case we loose power. We now have a standby generator that will power the well pump, but she still fills the tub anyway. :rolleyes: Before we got the generator, when we lost power, we used to bring our solar walkway lights...

    Saddle height: The deciding factor?

    One of my last conventional bikes, a Diamondback Sorrento, had the crank considerably forward of the vertical and at some point it began to bother my back. I switched to a Trek Shift 4 with a more vertical alignment and found it much more comfortable. Could be different with an e-bike though...

    Saddle height: The deciding factor?

    When it comes to saddles, posts and their adjustments, everyone has different requirements for a "comfortable" ride. From personal experience, I've found age has a lot to do with this. In my younger years, I would adjust the seat height so my leg was absolutely straight on the downstroke. This...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    I think it would depend on the LEO. IMO, a throttle is easier to spot than a 1000W motor.

    raising handlebar stem

    I use this 4.6" stem riser from Delta on all 3 of my bikes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007WEQIT4?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_13 It fits bikes with 1 1/8" (28.6mm) stems. Don't know if it will fit Juiced bikes, but you can always return it.
