    My sunday ride

    This is what I did yesterday. I toured downtown Dallas, and Oak Cliff. You can't stop an eBike. I rode the streets, sidewalks, and bike trails. One observation I'd like to make is it's mainly in the burbs is where you find the turd bags that honk, crowd you, and pass close to your handle bars...

    Say Hello To Storm

    The bike in the video must be a prototype because it doesn't appear to have pedals, but on the website the bike does appear to have working pedals. Coming soon. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Commuting on an eBike, this is how I do it. Can you?

    This was a typical joy ride for me, but it could have just as easily been a commute to work. Of course I'm preaching to the choir here, but I get so tired of hearing the uninformed complaining that eBikes have no range, are too slow, cost too much, blablabla. This map should put that...

    Went for a ride today with my son today on his Neo Carbon

    The weather was nice, and it was warm. I wanted to ride at least twice as far, but he wienered out on me lol. I was hoping to ride about 30 or 40 miles, but he wanted to throw in the towel at 20. I'm 61, and he's 31. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    E Tracker

    Here's another nice electric bike. I'm liking the trend toward higher powered eBikes. This one is claimed to go 36 mph, and from what I've heard can back up the claim. This is an American company. Recently Small Planet eBikes informed me they're offering these bikes for sale right here in...

    Who got a new bike for Christmas?

    I didn't, but I did get to ride 25 miles on Christmas day with my son. Came in pretty handy avoiding the mother in law. On the ride we saw one new Christmas bicycle, and a skate board, but that's about it. Even though the weather was sunny and warm, there weren't many kids out playing with there...

    Bultoco Brinco Electric Bicycle

    Bultaco calls the Brinco a Moto-Bike, but it's what most people would consider a classic moped with pedals being assisted by some source of extra power. In this case, the grunt comes from an electric motor mounted to the rear wheel hub that produces a peak 4 horsepower (3 kilowatts) and 44...

    I've been doing a Handle Bar comparison on my bike.

    Handle bars come in all kinds of styles, and sizes. Nothing has more impact on the appearance, and feel of a bike than it's handle bars. Personally I don't like to reach very far to my bars, because it puts too much pressure on my wrists, but at the same time I want an alert riding position, and...

    The division between bicycles, and motorcycles

    I think electric bicycles will eventually destroy the division between bicycles, and motorcycles. There's no way to stop it, because it's progress. Who goes out now to buy a lawn mower, and comes home with a push mower? The answer is nobody except someone that can't afford any other kind. Who...

    Neo Carbon code 5

    Went for a ride with my son, on his new Neo Carbon with 225 miles on it. It suddenly started loosing power momentarily, and flashing a code 5. Then it goes back to normal all by itself. It's intermittent, but consistent. Doesn't seem to be related to have much power he's trying to use. So far...

    Bomber for the Street

    From the factory Bombers lean more toward off road, but I ride the street, so I like to style my bikes with that more in mind. I've never owned a bike that I didn't customize in some way. I've been working on this one for a year, and it's already been through about 3 or 4 different makeovers...

    Google, My Tracks app

    It's one of the many apps that let's you track your route, on a bicycle ride. It's a free download for Android phones my son told me about, that uses Google maps. I wonder how it compares to other programs like it? So far I haven't used it, but my son gave me a demo. I looks similar to other...

    My Son's Neo Carbon

    Today was the big day. My son's new Neo Carbon arrived from, Electric Bikes of New England. We picked it up at the freight terminal this afternoon in my van, and drove straight to my shop to put it together. The shipping container (box) was totally unscathed. When it finally saw the light of...

    Elephant in the Room, Top Speed of eBikes

    I think it's time to talk about the elephant in the room, and that's the pitiful top speed of eBikes. My comments are mainly considering conditions in the u.s. because that's where I live, but I'm pretty sure almost everyone, everywhere has the same problem to some degree. Yes I know in most...

    Riding My Stealth Bomber

    I made this video 10 months ago, and at that time the bike was only about a month old. Now I have over 4000 miles on it, and it's proven to be very reliable. The only failure I've had was a swing arm bearing that went bad after a few months. I was easily able to repair it myself, and was able to...

    This is a really bright eBike headlight

    At first I was using a discrete battery powered bicycle headlight on my eBike, but replacing battery's got old fast. I found a eBike headlight on eBay that uses the bikes battery supply, and comes with a dc to dc converter that works from 12 to 90 vdc. The light is about 800 lm, and unlike a lot...

    Riding a Stealth Bomber

    I made this video when my bike was only about a month old. It's getting close to a year now, and nothing much has changed except I've added a few accessories, and personalized it some as I tend to do all my bikes over time. This is a recent picture
