This is really something. Not for me.

" Copied from Facebook page of the Mammoth Lake Police Department, about an hour SW of Yosemite. Guess you can ride them offroad, but if you take them on the street, they need to be registered. Attention visitors and residents!! Sur-ron and Sur-ron style machines are not street legal as sold...

Bought the BBS02B last January from pswpower.com. I believe it was $430 USD shipped, Found the Diamondback for $50 that same week. Unlike other Diamondbacks I have from the same time, this one had steel wheels and no provision for disk brakes, I had to swap in alloy wheels and a new fork. When I...

It's probably too expensive now for the consumer market, but batteries will eventually become regulated for safety and sustainabilty. Then this will be the future. I think most of us would pay more for a battery that can always be repaired/upgraded,

The Phantom Drone, or its many low cost variants, may be the new bad guy on our bike paths. Last night, we saw a family standing on the wooden footbridge ahead of us, and I thought they were looking at a deer, but as we came near, a kid was hovering a drone about 8 feet off the ground just off...

Well, it finally happened, A warehouse with 200K pounds of lithium packs is burning out of control. They want to evacuate 5000 people from the area, and the firefighters think water won't help because "lithium explodes with water."...

These are used motors, taken off a bankrupt ebike share venture, but they are pretty strong Bafang units. Good for 500W, I bought a pair for $113 shipped. MIne came well packed in a box with bio-degradeable styrofoam peanuts, 26" rim, tire, tube, attached disk brake rotor, and a Textro Model 300...

Here's our new Secretary of Transportation going home on a rideshare bike. Very cool, in my opinion that a Washington honcho does this. Hope he keeps riding a few times a month.

Ok Harry, now the questions start. I got the controller kit today, and today I started to take the 20" apart. Question #1.....The brake lever wires (2) Blue and red coming from the levers go too different colors on the controller. (810) Blue to black and red to purple. Since it is just s 2 wire...

Around 2900 miles. I guess that makes me a hard core rider if I can wear out a free wheel. DNP is known to be short-lived.

https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/11/14/stop-the-presses-joe-biden-in-latest-break-with-trump-rode-a-bike-today/ President-Elect Joe Biden and the professor out riding today! I love it.

Something I tried just for fun was a DC boost converter. These are used to boost a DC voltage to a higher number, a very common application, but I wasn't sure it would work with a cheap converter and the demands of an ebike. Other users say it works, so I was willing to chuck out $23 on ebay for...

FYI. Can't do it with a standard 175mm motor. The dropout width is 175 mm ffrom the outside of the frame, not the inside of the frame. I did manage to squeeze a MXUS XF-15 motor into my frame, but the disk brake rotor was off by 5mm. I could take some metal off the caliper, but I wanted to be...

This is for the 36V Ecotric fat tire 20" folding ebike with the 810LED display, Some more details about how I would change the 36V Ecotric controller with 810LED display to a KT controller. Looking at it from the objective of keeping the bike connectors the same, so the original controller...

Hi Court. Would you consider opening an Ecotric subforum under Brands? Facebook has an Ecotric owners group that's fairly active so I think the brand is getting some traction.

This might apply to other Ecotric models that use the 810LED display. The18Amp controller paired with mine (20" folding fatbike) is limited to the LED analog display and can only support three PAS levels. On the fatbike, the first PAS level just seemed stonger than I wanted, so I replaced the...

Is today the first day of Fall, or the last day of summer for us north of the equator? No matter, I logged 25 miles yesterday plus another 26 miles today. Although there's Fall colour to look forward too, it also means the warm weather rides will soon be gone. Another 190 days til Spring. Left...

For the past 3 years, I've been wanting to hang speakers off my bikes thinking to run them off an MP3 player. Then I saw I could get a bluetooth speaker that can also read audio files off my phone or from a mini SD card. This Muzili cost about 18-20 bucks. It runs on a Lithium battery that...

Ordered a white one for $779 on Amazon, but seller had a mixup and shipped black. We settled on a small rebate. I thought the seller EGO-LLC, responded very quick to questions about delivery. I would give him a positive rating for trying to make the sale work, and he did. Assembly is easy...

I recall a post last year where someone recommended a smooth fatbike tire in this category, so it was probably in this forum. My search has these two candidates. V-rubber and Origin-8...
