    Today’s ride, the Black Pie, bike police and the joys of bike riding later in life.

    Today was a great day to be bike riding. I have rejiggered my saddlebags. The hard bags that I was using were pretty but not very functional. Very delicate and my batteries barely fit inside even after I worked very hard at that. They were noisy on the trail and I was always nervous they were...

    Issues

    Anyone else have a sluggish throttle and pedal assist? I am pretty forgiving but a dead throttle until you are letting off and 3 full pedal rotations before the system notices.... on a completely charged battery gets my attention. I am probably past my warranty and at the rate Volt responds it...

    Nirve DIY Part 1

    This is my first DIY project. I found Electric bikes in 2017. I bought a Voltbike Yukon 750 that is a great bike, and a Surface 604 Colt that is also great in its class. Both bikes do what they advertised. I am very happy I’m up on 2 wheels again at 55. Court reviewed the EG Monte Carlo which is...

    Black Pie Edge first trail ride

    First warm weekend day in my neck of the woods and I took my new girl out for a spin to break her in, so to speak. My other bikes are geared so this is my first DD motor. Interesting diffence.

    Very positive experience.

    Just finished my first kit build and I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Gary at Golden Motor. His instructional videos on YouTube and his hands on approach to his business are a very refreshing change. He has been personally available throughout the build process which I think is unique...

    Please recommend a kit for me.

    Once the weather warms here in the Northeast I am going to pull the trigger on a kit. I am looking for something that is at least 1000 Watts and at least 12 AH battery. I have been looking at the Dillenger ARC off road kit or the 1500 W Samsung 20 AH kit but have not decided on either or even...

    Forks for DIY

    I am considering doing a DIY project on a bike that has “hi-ten steel forks with Chromoly legs”. Does that sound sufficient for installing a hub motor? Thanks in advance.

    Hi tech solution to a low tech issue.

    Hey everyone. This might strike some of you as a bit much but I like to hobby on these kind of things so I would welcome anyone’s constructive input. My paranoia of riding in the street has caused me to want to go a step beyond just rear view mirrors. I find every mirror option inadequate. I...
