    Last Friday I purchased a Tern vectron q9 folding bike. I watched several videos on the proper way to unfold and fold the bike. I’ve been practicing folding and unfolding and I think I’ve got it.

    Bikes that are not bikes

    I just finished watching a video on the Juiced Hyperscrambler 2. This bike weigh 120 pounds and has peddles, qualifying is as a bicycle. That’s ridiculous. Who’s going to peddle a 125 pound pike? They’re just going to throttle it all the time. There are a lot of manufacturers potting peddleds on...

    Two small ebike batteries vs one large battery.

    My friend just bought an ebike with a 750wh battery. He says” the bigger the battery the better”. My opinion is that, besides my small regular battery, another small extra battery is better. That way I can have a fully charged battery always available, and if necessary I can bring the other...

    Everything easier but…

    When my ebike was stolen, a few week ago, I went on a search for a new one. What I learned, in my search, was that the new e-bikes with their internal hubs, belt drive, automatic shifting, high torque quiet motors , built in lighting, and intelligent bike computer systems, have taken most of...

    I have a New, 3weeks old, Gazelle c380hmb. When I need to go all the way into my highest gear, I often find that the shifter jams just short of the highest setting.

    Used Bosch power pack 500 and 400 pluss 4 amp charger

    My 2019 Pegasus ebike( A Bulls ebike company product) was stolen after I had taken out the battery. I figure the original Bosh 500 and a 400 power pack extra battery, had about 125 cycles used up. I think these batteries have 500 to 1000 possible cycles before they degrade. I also have a 4 amp...

    Enviolo slippage

    I’ve had my 2022 Gazelle Ultimate C380 for a week now. I’ve been putting about 10 miles a day on the odometer. Invariably the enviolo cvt will jump at least once a day. No a big slip, just a little one along with a little pop. Is that something I should be concerned about? Ed
