What do you do to prepare a new electric bike for seven-days at Burning Man? So, after it comes back to the Bay Area, it can be fully restored to look and feel new again? La Playa has very fine grit that gets into everything, it is salty, and caustic, it also has microbes that have evolved to...

I needed to mount a 90mm round battery for a little person's bike today and came across this water bottle cage. There is not much room in the triangle to remove and reinstall the battery. Because this cage expands and tightens, it accommodates bottles of various diameters and locks them in...

This is the place for eBike builders and mechanics who are doing innovative things to share and support each other. So, I will kick it off: There is a problem with twist throttles. Unlike a gas motorcycle an eBike can be On and not make any sound. If you are walking the bike and it is On, your...

It is Thorn Season for cyclists in Northern California from about August 7th through to the first rains in November. The best solution is to not go off-road with your bike during Thorn Season. One bike today had 50-80 thorns in each tire. The thorns are barbed and break off in the tire and only...

What is the difference between eMotos (electric motorcycles) and eBikes (assisted bicycles)?

This is what streets should look like. It was four car lanes with parked cars on both sides. There was no space for bikes and the risk of getting doored. The cars were doing 50 mph and no crosswalks. This can happen for your town. Build it and they will come. A four-way stop was replaced by a...

My friend has been riding a bike per year for the past nine years. He has a tendency to go for bikes with odd gimmick features. I told him to go to the local Aventon dealer. It might cost a little more than an internet only bike, but he will have local support and can test ride it first. I rode...

What are some of your favorite things to eat after a ride? Today for me it is a Poke Bowl. It is Hawaiian. It is essentially sushi without a wrap. This one is has steamed sticky rice on the bottom, California ahi with crab, and spicy ahi. Then wakame seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and kimchi...

They call it a fixie, except it has brakes and a throttle!

Is everyday is bike to workday for you?

Amazon says it will no longer allow the sale of certain high-speed e-bikes in California following a consumer alert issued by California Attorney General Rob Bonta last month warning about illegal electric bikes and motorcycles being marketed to consumers.

Often on bikes the highest bar on the display showing remaining battery power takes you the most miles. The last bar takes you the fewest miles. What if each bar took you the same number of miles? How would you program that? I am programing a bike right now. It has a 48V nominal battery. The...

They are lumping illegal motorcycles with legal eBikes and want to make them in the whippy image of @Stefan Mikes. Cargo moms with two kids and groceries should be able to leave the car behind and take an adequately assisted bike up a hill to home. This would make their bikes unlawful and...
