    Don’t leave bike rack down when parked

    Went biking at a country park recently. When I returned I discovered that my kuat rack was damaged, with the tire holder arm bent and tire tray crooked. It is a two bike rack and sits pretty low to the ground in loading position, so I can imagine how someone backing up their car or truck did...

    loading/unload ebike from platform bike rack

    We all know that ebikes are heavy, so platform racks are highly recommended. I'm currently looking to buy Kuat Transfer v2 to hold two bikes.

    I noticed that while pedaling, there is a squealing noise coming from the rear axle area. This was with PAS off, and no throttle. Has anyone else experienced this? The noise is not present all the time. Ridden it only 20 miles so far. Video link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YJzyxSwURhCrkjC8A

    Cadence sensor riding experience

    My understanding from the forum is that cadence sensors are like "on/off" switches. I'm wondering how that affects your ability to ride with someone else who is not riding an ebike. I want to buy an ebike for my girlfriend, but I want to be able to ride together. For example, when I'm doing a...
