EV good... ICE bad... next ICE age really bad. Is that correlation?

So I have to find a friend that weighs around 60lbs. :)

How are those mid-drives that have a throttle?

So if the rack is 150lb capacity... what's the total bike capacity? :)

About China... EVERYTHING is made there... not just EV batteries. So there is a lot more we need to stop buying from them if we are really worried about worker rights. But I digress... the new EV credits are based on North America material and assembly so we will see more domestic...

I think that many people feel like EVs is just about "saving the environment". I think there are other aspects to EVs that are beneficial... it will reduce reliance on fossil fuels, it reduces noise pollution, it reduces maintenance costs, it saves people time, etc etc etc. And as many electric...

Well... then it really isn't a bike is it if you don't use the pedals? It's just a moped right? A buddy of mine has an Arial Rider but he has the one that's just foot posts... no pedals... so at least he's not perpetrating. :)

The only thing I have to say to this is why stand when you can sit? :) Although I do have a slight issue with people who ride their ebikes just on throttle... it's not that hard to pedal esp with assist. :( I used to have a non-e scooter and that thing was so tiring to kick push, I used it one...

We like EVs because they are quiet and don't stink up the garage. Instant torque is great and not having to pay insane Cali gas prices is greater. It's just like how I prefer my ebike over my ICE (inferior cycling engine=my old knees) bike.

Not really. It's still a pain to mount/dismount the heavy ebike on my rack to drive to our different rides but having peace of mind in case of a hill or those convenient throttle starts while stopped at a light make up for it. I'm still searching for a lighter ebike, but find solace in the...

Seconded. Start with the cheapest, good quality, good support ebike and then move on from there. You can even start with the XP 2.0 for $999 if you want gears but it's heavier.

Batteries in the new Pace look like they are easy to remove too (similar to my current eBike). We have the Soltera, and that's removable but harder because it's undermount., I also use a separate headlight but it's nice to have the integrated ones just for bike visibility (not actually...

Slime on a tube worked for me. It kept leaking Slime so I just had the tube replaced.

If you don't mind the single-speed, non-integrated battery and heavier weight, the RadMission is a bargain at $900 vs $1300 because it has a more powerful motor and disc brakes. I prefer a 7-speed and if Rad made a light multi-speed, I might consider that instead.

Water bottle pegs are on the top tube:

Here is an example of what my local REI charges for non-members: For members, I think most of the $10 services are free and the others are 20% off ($30 for lifetime membership). Other bike shops are slightly higher and either don't repair eBikes or charge more... these prices are the same...

Need some place called Bikes and Burgers... or Bikes and Bulgogi (make someone Google that) near me.

Sorry, REI is just an example of a big chain retail store here in the West that will work on any ebike... most other chains/brands will only work on their own.

I totally agree with @AHicks especially for independent shops. Not even sure why the chain/brand shops refuse to because a place like REI will repair/maintain ANY bike. I have an excuse... I'm too lazy and really don't have enough time to learn how to wrench my own bike (I can do simple...

I've used several different repair/maintenance options since I got my ebike. I've done 2 mobile repair services, 2 different shops and just recently used REI (who I highly recommend for the cheapest prices and they don't care if you didn't buy your bike/ebike from them). Back during the height...
