I am having trouble finding a renters insurance company in USA that covers my $7000 eBike against damage or theft. The companies I have called for a quote say that this is an excluded item. Any suggestions?

I have a BH bike with a Yamaha PWX motor, external downtube battery. It has no warranty coverage since it's a BH, and North America got screwed with the warranty service. I have a trip to Acadia Park next week, and it will undoubtedly rain at some point during the day. I am fine riding in the...

Is there a seatpost rack on the US market that is compatible with ortlieb QL 2.1 panniers? I have a bunch of ortlieb panniers that I would like to use on my secondary bike, but it does not have any braze-ons for bolting a rack. Looking for something universal and relatively inexpensive like a...

As the title suggests, I am would like to embark on building a small woodshop in my basement. I plan to build furniture for the house as a hobby. I plan to enroll in an online woodworking school, and need to buy the following power tools for the school. Table Saw Miter Saw Jigsaw Circular Saw...

Hi all, Have a week off in mid-may and was thinking of taking my bike up to Acadia Park in maine, as class 1 eBikes are now legally allowed there. Is anybody familiar with the Park? Is Mid-May a good time to visit? Hoping to get the sweet spot of warm-enough weather, before the crowds and the...

Planning a trip to the US side of niagara falls in a couple weeks (believe the border to canada is still closed). Never been out there before. Is it worth bringing the eBike along? Are there any good bike trails in the area? While we are on the subject, what are the must do tourist activities...

Hi, I am looking at buying the Abus 540 U Lock and was wondering how the mounting shackle affixed to the bike. Does your bike need a straight section of round tube for the mounting adapter? I have a BH Rebel Lynx Full Suspension bike, and was not sure if I would need a pannier to carry the U Lock.

Was going to pick up the new raceface t2 tailgate pad for my truck, but first I tried to lift up the bike over the closed tailgate. Wow, thats heavy! Thr bike is 50 pounds, and I just can't lift it up that high. How are you guys lifting that heavy bike over the tailgate to transport on a...

Good evening, I have a BH Rebel Lynx, size Medium frame. I am shopping for a bike bag that I could use to bring my eBike into a hotel that does not normally allow bikes to be brought inside. Think Bed and Breakfasts that would be horrified at the thought of a muddy eBike ruining the new...

Hi all, I've ridden the D&L canal trail from Bristol to Mountain Top, the schukyill river trail, the perkiomen trail, and the Bucks County parks trails to death. Wondering what some other great rides there are in the Southeastern PA area, that I could make in a day trip from lower Bucks...

Hello, Are the carriage roads at acadia park currently open? I know the website says closed for Covid, but I have anecdotally read that the trails may be accessible. I have a long weekend next weekend (May 9), and would take the long drive up to Maine if the carriage road trails are freely...

Changing out my stem and watching videos, most people say only to turn the allen key until you meet resistance, then maybe give in an extra 1/8 of a turn at the most. I did this, and don't feel any play in the headset (though this is my first time). My bike came assembled, and when I first...

I am looking for a trunk bag for a spare yamaha battery. This will go on top of an old man mountain rack. I have combed these forums, and could only find a single post where somebody recommended the Arkel bag. However, this just velcros onto the rack. I would ideally like something that...

I have read many posts on this forum saying that Brooks Saddles are the most comfortable out there, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why. They feel hard as a rock. What am I missing?

I have a new bike with a Yamaha PW-X Motor and 500wH Yamaha battery. On today's ride, I began with 92% charge. The expected range, on the high power setting, was 51 miles at the start of my trip. I rode a total of 28 actual miles, and ended my day with 10% charge remaining. Therefore, I got...

My primary bike is a BH Rebel Lynx full suspension. As a result of the recent clearinghouse on BH bikes (thanks @FlatSix911 ), I now have a spare battery to bring around with me. I am thinking what the best option is to carry it around, and come here for advice. Obviously carrying the battery...

Hi all, I watched a video about cleaning your eBike, and a big comment was that you should always dry it before bringing it inside, or any water from your garden hose left on the motor areas will lead to rust. I was thinking about getting this portable, affordable leaf blower from home depot to...

For the Abus 540 U-Lock, it looks like there are two mounting bracket options: The Easy KF, and the USH. I can't find much info on these brackets. Does anybody have one and care to share how it mounts to your frame?

Torque Wrenches specifically made for bikes tend to be pricey. Is there anything wrong with getting one of these wrenches from Home Depot for general purpose use on a non-carbon bike? I'm not familiar with these tools, might be missing something. Thank you...

Hey gang - I'm looking at getting a product like the Kuat Dirtbag for my thru axle eMTB (not a carbon fork), because in my experience the fork mounted products hold the bike much more securely than the racks that go over the wheels...
