    What’s your preferred cadence?

    Cadence and speed are 2 different things with multi-geared bikes. Without exception, if my wife complains her knees are getting sore, increasing her cadence to 80-90 resolves the pain; no change in ground speed. It is unnatural for many/most to do 90ish; in my younger days we rode long and...

    Are 750 watt ebikes actually legal?

    My curiosity was peaked, so I checked my bike spec. What's with all these bikes that are 750 or higher? Do you tow auto transport trailers? Or are these primarily Class 2s? Full disclosure: although I don't do it often, 20 mph is no big deal for the C380. Don't spend much time on "steeper"...

    If one can believe an AI summary, 3 times. Full disclosure: I don't agree with any federal government bailouts or subsidies.

    Police - questioning the power rating of your E-bike? or Ticketing you?

    Lots of overthinking on the subject. I'll stick with "don't ride like a dick and no one will care what you ride." This will likely turn into lawyer problem, not a police problem.

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    Another data point for knee health: my wife is a natural 50-60. When she mentions knees, I coach her up to 80 and the pain goes away.

    Pretty basic math. Comparing higher volume (ICE) to lower volume (EV) change in sales.

    Automated Safety Destroys Critical Decision-Making Skills

    Would you agreee the vocal group on this website is smaller than a bump on a gnat's butt compared to the population of ebike riders? I'd bet a very small percent of ebike riders know or care what these folks are talking about.

    Automated Safety Destroys Critical Decision-Making Skills

    Who is teaching kids what you describe? Do young parents these days really suck that much when it comes to teaching their kids? Who would teach that a bike is safe because of its software limited speed? Speed is one of many considerations in safe riding that need to be taught...

    Automated Safety Destroys Critical Decision-Making Skills

    Outside academic mumbo jumbo, do you think ebike riders actually think that a software speed limited motorbike with pedals is safe because of the limited speed? I suppose there are feeble minded people.

    Automated Safety Destroys Critical Decision-Making Skills

    That only restricts assist, not the riders ability to pedal faster. In my younger days, we traveled low 20s on the level. I tried going over 20 on my Class 1 Gazelle. Failed 1st attempt. Pumped tires to max and hit 22 for about 5 seconds; probably wont do that again.
