    "Mini Me?"

    I put a riser stem and one of these bars on them. Now they still make the Vida in a low-step and have E+ versions. I just checked and self corrected. The mid-step is gone.

    The transition

    Yes, but what about stuff like oil changes, transmission, differential, exhaust, and radiator service?

    Battery charger recommendations

    This is exactly what EBR is all about. Helping each other with peer review. So, what part of the country are you visiting now? Ebikes for RV travel are a great solution.

    Rumors, from the inside

    The bottom of the seat post must be below the top tube or the frame will fail. That is irregardless of the minimum insertion line. It is physics.

    @6zfshdb, I always answer the phone, 'Bicycle Service'. When it is a telemarketer I say, this is the Service Department, "Thank you for calling - what kind of bike do you have?" "Oh you will need to contact the business office for that; Ask for Jackolyn Mehoff." Then they say, 'Thank you." and I...

    Commuter Bike Setup

    Yes, better to wreck some rolls of toilet paper than a laptop.

    Battery charger recommendations

    That is great. It takes a 54.6V charger for a 48V battery. They are about $25, solid state. Many come with multiple adaptors.

    My tensioner sure does seem to be wiggling a lot ;)

    It looks to me like you could try lubing the chain. When some links are tight tensioners do that.

    Everyone hated that system and could not get into it properly.

    Battery charger recommendations

    I agree. Show us the sticker on the back of the battery. Also, are the bike's specifications online. Last time we talked you were Sheboygan, MI. Have you headed south?

    Rumors, from the inside

    This motor is not best for a lightweight road bike but I think it is interesting nonetheless. It is 350W, 48V, 90Nm, 140 rpm, bilateral TS, up to18A (864W), 38 to 54-t ring, IP65. It has individual mfg. adaptable configurations, software tuning and integration options. It is only sold to...

    My tensioner sure does seem to be wiggling a lot ;)

    I would replace the chain after cooking the new one in a crockpot of wax. It looks like a single speed. If it is, how about a half-link chain that is super strong? Also some jockey/tensioner wheels are narrow/wide. See if that is the case and if it is off by one cog.

    One Fall morning I hear bad noises as a car tried to start. Then shocking screams of Horror! It was Halloween morning. The owner's cat had climbed up into the engine compartment with all the belts to absorb the warmth. Turkeys like to land on cars and surf down on their claws, again and again...

    Battery charger recommendations

    It is really odd output for a charger. Like a tire pump it needs slightly more output than the final pressure or in this case voltage. A 36V battery takes a 42V output charger. A 48V output charger is weird. Unless it is really a 54.6V output for a 48V battery. The clicking sound may be...

    "Mini Me?"

    As I mentioned, they are no longer made but new showroom "demo" bikes are available. If a bike on the showroom is tagged as a "demo" bike than it can be sold below MSRP. I do not know the size or the terms, such as shipping, on this particular bike.

    Throttles and California

    Just now a prior customer brought in a different bike that needs a new fork. Her third-grader was nagging the single mom to get a 4,000 watt' bike.' He has disconnected the lever cut-outs on the other bike. I gave her the straight talk on the 4,000 watt emoto and heat shrink to attach over the...

    The witches invaded today. I stayed for a half-hour. The Sea Scouts were our only defense but they caved and instead passed out candy.

    Kids and Vids. It is how it can be marketed as illegal and sold as legal. Parents may not know. But if they do or enabled, that is very different.

    Throttles and California

    After a 60-day grace period San Diego has begun writing $25 citations to anyone in public under 12 operating an electric bike. And any electric bike with one saddle with two people. Parents must pay. Also anyone under 16 on a throttle bike or not wearing a helmet on any bike. The Countywide...
