    Do you carry an extra battery?

    This summer I added a second battery and a rear cargo rack to my bike. The battery is big, 1000 watts, weighing 12 lbs. But so far I really don't notice any difference in performance from the extra weight. Well worth it as I go many miles from help of any kind. Having had one fail and having to...

    Rearview Bike Cams- A non technical review

    Last year I added a rearview bike cam for more safety. Here is my short review: Good: On overcast days or at night they work great. They have night vision. Bad: on sunny days forget it. The glare is bad. I use my side mirror on sunny days. If you get one, get the non-fisheye type lense and be...

    Why Roadies Don't Smile-funny article I just read

    What's You're Plan For Major Breakdown?

    Just wondering what others plan to do when the motor dies 20 miles from home. Mine did two years ago. Peddling that was brutal over hills. I'm getting a second battery for the rear rack. More weight but less stress. AAA has bike towing available but you need to be on a street.

    Lights Save Lives

    I can't understand why so many bikers spend so much for their bikes just to take big chances of being run down on the roads by not spending a small amount to put bright day and night lights on their bikes. I run two super bright Cygolite taillights during day rides, as well as slow flashing...

    My Ecotric Bike Experience After 1 Year

    To begin, I love my Seagull bike. I ride it alot. But, because Ecotric ebikes cost less than many other ebikes, they do have their own set of problems. They cut the cost of these bikes by using imo, a few parts that were not, shall we say, top of the line. First up: the tires. Now it's been a...
