If it has a drive side lock-ring those are often reverse threaded so they don't go flying off while you are pedaling. I am not familiar with this bike.

Mike's Bikes with about 25 locations in Nor. Cal. and Colorado just picked up Aventon. It is a little weird because for the past 15-years they would snub anything with a throttle. Demand must just be too high. Also they have trained, drilled or they will be written up and fired, their...

Yes, but they do not have to be brand name and overpriced. It is the most practical solution. I got a waterproof pair for something like $50 for a UCSB student. The current backpack can find a good home.

Panniers have a bottom strap to keep them from flopping.

Okay, It is like Specialized saying 'designed in California'. The Companello factory is empty except for some executives. I am sure that they keep some appearances to say 'Made in Germany.' Still motor failure is almost 30%. Battery cells are not made in Germany. Brose operates multiple...

Remember about if you were a Nautical Engineer designing a sailboat, where you would place weight? Up high out at an end, or low and centered?

Many places will not service what they did not sell. I understand that Yamaha is out of the market. A bunch of brands have quit the North American market without brand specific parts being available to anyone. Some require dealer only firmware updates regularly. And no ability for users or...

Especially when they are ignored and abused by a major brand. Dropping $14,000 on a bike that is proprietary and useless makes people angry when they are asked to spend more yet blown off.

US companies sell diesel to the EU. Diesel from Iran through Russia will end up in the EU as an offset for keeping a little more domestically by US companies. It is the fungibility of a commodity in a global marketplace. If I hand someone $20 and say, don't by drugs with it. They can just not...

What about a little two part epoxy from the dollar store.

@dblhelix, is reading carefully. Yet, seldom commenting. She may have personal experience and insights with the silicon valley mentality of status, dependence, and obsolescence, and how it applies to 'special' bikes designed there. Your bike is now Windows 10.

Why did the Sommelier sniff it? Because she was quarkie.

Are you saying that you can get a 28 mph Brose motor on a starter bike that costs less than $1300, German engineered and made in China at the Brose plant (using child and political prison labor) for less than 1/4 of what that E. European guy spent for a 15 mph bike that requires clipping-in and...

This is the season to start thinking about lights as the nights become longer. I have one helmet with a light epoxied to the top and this one on my Specialized visor. The visor clips on and off the helmet. I use it along with fixed lights. It moves with my head so I can track a car, 'Hey I see...

I knew it was for storage. I was just making a joke. And I thought it was funny. E-Motos have a place and that is off-road on private land. If I had a ranch I would prefer one to a dirtbike motorcycle.

Hundreds of witches a preparing to invade my town by paddleboard.

The acid/lead battery box makes it easy to access.

On cable actuated, mechanical, brakes the inner pad needs to be adjusted, tightened regularly. Most parents do not know this and may only tighten the outer pad with the barrel adjuster. The brakes do not work. On some hub-drives the motor blocks the inner adjustment. This make the adjustment...
