Hi all! Long time no "see!" I'm back to ebike commuting this Fall and rainy days are coming. I've never really found a good solution to keep my feet dry. My commute is 45 minutes long, so some raingear failure is inevitable, and I keep a change of clothes in my office for this reason. For...

It's been hard to get ebike tires during the pandemic. I'm glad to report that these are back in stock at Schwalbe: https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/super-moto-x?fbclid=IwAR2FrTbGk8M_V4XPdpEiN9mwM3Y7-mDqDenzStBJG5dX2qOtM6T0W5vE3y0 I have them on my Pedego Interceptor and they...

Complete this sentence... "For me, ebiking means..." Ready, set, GO!

Hi all, Well, I experienced the nastiness of a motorists' road rage yesterday. I was ebiking to work in pouring rain, in my bright colored raingear, with my bright lights flashing. I was at a 4-way stop, and stopped, and was waiting my turn for motorists in cars to take their turns before it...

Hi all, There's a documentary being released in 2020 about a man who was disabled by a traumatic brain injury at age 5. He is 37 years old in the documentary, and gets around by ebike! From the trailer, it looks like it might be a Pedego City Commuter. Here's a link to the trailer: ebikemom

My bike came with a low-end suspension seatpost that's okay, but I got some birthday $$ and decided to get a Thudbuster for my Pedego Interceptor. My local bike mechanic recommended it and gave me a terrific price. I really like it. It has "elastomer" inserts of various stiffness/elasticity, and...

Hi all! I'm watching the Japanese news, and there was just a long story on the spread of ebiking amongst the elderly in Japan. Ebiking in Japan is well established, with the largest segment of ebikers being moms of young kids who cart their children, groceries, etc., around on ebikes, as well...

I've been riding my ebike for over a year now, and am nearly at 4,000 miles of riding. In that year, I've noticed areas of my own skill development. I was a good bike rider before getting an ebike, though somewhat lapsed (I hadn't ridden much for about 6 years). There are, though, some...

In my area, ebikes are, happily, proliferating! And, I see more and more teens on them. A surprising thing I've noticed is "throttle only" riding by some teens who appear to be quite able bodied. A kid I saw yesterday was riding, standing on the pedals, throttle only. But, throttle-only riding...

I recently got some straps for my rack because I was frustrated with bungee cords. I have WALD baskets, And was poking around their website. I discovered they also make straps. Their straps are amazing and super great at keeping stuff on the rack. I am really happy with them.

Nice blog post from the early days of ebiking ... of a SF woman's experience with a used Bridgestone mamachari ("Mom Bike") ebike she got off of craigslist. It's a nice post that shows the terrific benefits of ebiking. AND, it makes me want to say, Hey Bridgestone!!! Please bring your ebiking...

I've noticed that we have all sorts of ebikers here on EBR. What type of ebiker are you? If your usage varies, you can pick more than one option.

Well, ebikes are proliferating where I live. And, in the last day or two I've encountered ... ebikers riding way too fast on mixed use paths. Almost got creamed by one on a narrow mixed-use path today. He was going FAST and was in the center, and I could feel him WHOOSH by. Let's keep it safe...

The university where I work has a bike shop that is run by students. It is partially funded by a student activity fee, and also by the services it provides. Today I arrived at work, fine and dandy, and part way through the day discovered that my rear tire was completely flat. I took it to the...

I got my bike in late April 2018. At that time, I hardly ever saw an ebike when commuting 25 miles round-trip. Maybe one? Maybe three? Maybe none? One year later, I see LOTS of ebikes on my commute. I've given up trying to count them. It's a big change! I'm wondering ... will bike paths get...

I just learned about the Olympic Discovery trail recently. Here's a link: https://olympicdiscoverytrail.org/explore/trail-segments/ One cool thing about this area is that it is in the "rain shadow" of the Olympic Mountains so gets less rain. I was wondering about this as a possible spot for a...
