    What measures is the bike industry offering us for securing our rides

    What sort of security is there to protect our bikes. Besides of using chains and u-locks, something extra we can add. Why haven't we seen a start lock program available. In todays age of innovation we deserve to have the best to protect our investment. Relying on just the usual is not good...

    Tektro Dorado 4 piston brakes on my R500 Integrated install

    It was a simple install on the front wheel. The 4 piston caliper fits like glove using an extension to fit into the 203mm rotor. Waiting for the rear extension to arrive. I already installed it on the rear. So far the brakes are superior stops on a dime with no fade so far. Yes it's too early I...

    Which hydraulic brakes are 4 piston and motor cut off ready

    Looking to upgrade my calipers to 4 piston and larger rotors. Living in a hilly city I find the oem brakes overheat and fade. So I am sure with better braking I will feel more confident. Someone mentioned Tektro features a motor cut off but unsure. Who else offers this option.

    Show your cockpit

    I'm looking for ideas for my cockpit. Having a new toy I will need a decent mirror and horn. Some of our local drivers are nasty. With all this down time we're all getting antsy waiting to for a ride and still nippy here in Montreal, about 50 f average.

    Bummed out on this quarantine

    I recently returned from my winter vacation with my new ride. Driven about 150 miles in sunny Florida and the bomb dropped. I had to disassemble my bike so I can pack and fit it in the Thule box. Will rebuild and wait until mid April for the weather to warm up. I also ordered an extra battery...

    Purchased 2nd battery for my Sport R500 commuter

    I purchased a second battery. It's the exact one to my sport R500 commuter. It's called a Reention EEL integrated battery. I checked everywhere and found it only by Alibaba. After speaking with a sales rep they confirmed this is the same battery as on my bike, a 48v 14ah with Samsung cells. They...

    In love with my new Schwalbe Marathon tires

    Original Kenda Slant 3 "wides were fat, slow and noisy. Ordered a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS 468 SmartGuard MTB tires. These are lighter, faster, noiseless and almost puncture proof. Fill them up to 60 psi and I glide on water. A pleasurable ride worthy of ownership.

    Plasti dip / painting your frame

    Since having a new bike in semi matte color I noticed it scratches more easily. I have the usual factory decals but its still scratches. No dents but marks just the same. I'm sure I'm not alone. I know I can use wider stickers but this looks like a cover up. Painting can also be done. I have...

    New knobby tires are noisy

    I'm riding on Kenda 27.5" slant tires. They're noisy and feel they just slow me down when riding on pavement. I feel these are not suited for my needs. A smoother tread is what I'm looking for, puncture resistant with good grip in the rain. There has to be so many better options out there...

    What is the best location for an extra battery ?

    Since having this new commuter for a few miles under by belt I'm already looking to add another battery for extra range. Only to discover which location is best, safe and out of the way. There has to be new methods of camouflaging as to not attract attention. Any thoughts?

    Snowbird here in South Florida from Montreal

    Last week I pulled the plug on a M2S XT Sport R500 commuter. A tough decision with many models to choose. I'm 6.1 & 65 this year. The larger streamline frame fits me like a glove. Enjoy the large rims, the smooth ride and responsive ride. Added better grips, stem riser, abus lock + I hope an...

    All Terrain Sport R500 Commuter

    It was a difficult decision which model to choose from best suiting my needs so I went with the Sport R500 commuter. With the larger 27.5 "rims and the streamlined large frame, this model fits me like a glove. I like the bicycle look and not a so called ebike. It stops on a dime too. I ride...
