I really like the looks of this new tool. A bit pricey, but no more chain wrestling with the derailleur. Too bad I couldn't have gotten that on my Christmas list. https://chainlift.com/pages/how-it-works

Not exactly eBike related, but I was riding. I heard two gas motor somethings coming up quickly behind me while I was riding a multiuser paved trail about 2:00pm yesterday. As the first pulls up next to me, I see it's a dirt bike motorcycle and the passenger slaps me on my back just above the...

Tesla fire fighting method at a junkyard!

I've had a sudden problem with my left knee. Been to the orthopedic clinic twice now. First x-ray showed arthritis and got a steroid shot. Relived the pain for 5 days. Went to my chiropractor and she though a nerve was pinched. Did and adjustment and I could barely walk the next morning. Had to...

I had a lot of regret with the idea of putting on an offset handlebar on my City Ltd., but after getting an X-ray telling me the pain in my lower back was from Arthritis, I knew my back would be happier. It has a 90mm offset and a 6 degree back set. The look is about what I expected, but felt...

Comparing my 38 pound carbon fiber 2020 BMC City Ltd Class 1 to my 52 pound aluminum 2016 Haibike Trekking Class 3. Shimano to Bosch mid drives. Images 1 and 4 are Haibike, images 2 and 3 are BMC. I used a variety of assist settings on each bike, not paying attention to any data as I was...

I've ended my search for a lightweight urban eBike. 2020 model year BMC City LTD. I was a modelmaker in the Caterpillar Corporate Industrial Design Group before retiring. This eBike just screams high quality design effort. Currently $2,000 off MSRP at CL in Madison.

Rolled over all 5s on my 2016 Haibike Trekking SRX today. Had to loop around the neighborhood, and rolled over right at my driveway. Made for a better picture of the display in the basement. Not my only eBike, so the mileage adds up slower than for many others.

After last year, I realized 80% of my 3,000 miles were on paved trails or streets and less than 20 miles each time. So looking at lightweight road style eBike. I was looking at the Luna Fixed, but was concerned about only having 3 speeds and comments made about not having the gear range for...

This was posted on reddit ebike forum today. His comments' "Sloppy. I was doing some headlights and very stupidly wanted to test out before terminating properly. Held a bare wire to terminal...." and "Was a total arc very bright. I was hooking up headlights and had a bare wire touch the...

They don't use the words quad cycle, but heavy reference to eBike parts. Love the ideas here. https://www.eav.solutions/our-range

We've had some really nice riding weather in Central IL, so met my goal easily before the end of the year. 2016 Haibike Trekking. It's funny, I disliked that cheap spring front fork almost from the day I bought it. I still ride it though, LOL. It's been a wonderful eBike. I replaced the chain at...

It's commonly considered the perfect battery pack treatment to not charge to 100%. How much extra life do we get with the 80% charge? Every charge I've done on my Bosch packs is till the charger shuts off. Two packs are on model two 2016 Haibikes, so assume the packs were made in late 2015. 5...

A scooter designed to fit in a backpack. Hope it comes with a patch kit! https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52651470

Just how many people in America do you think need help choosing an eBike in any one day? Got to be thousands! How many have it narrowed down to two? Same number? Thinking I could start a consulting business and make the decision for them. Just ask my wife of 48 years. I like making decisions...

A small town south of Peoria, IL. Looks like I will be going to a meeting Monday night. Screen shot taken from a local news channel, not much detail except about the money. week.com

And even worse than squirrels! I had to stop and kick the hedge apples off the rail trail today. These things were as big as softballs! Wanted to get some miles in today and tomorrow, snow storm and polar vortex comes to Peoria on Monday.
