    New rider confession: my butt hurts

    Same, we do about 7 miles and then break for walk around and snack or drink. That pace you can stretch your day out and still move at the end! 4-5 breaks on a 35-40 mile ride.

    With how weak my legs are I can feel differences in the assist and it definitely gives a little extra oomph when I do both vs just one

    Pedal Assist and Gear strategies

    I have Muscular Dystrophy but I find that I can stay in whatever gear I'm in and highest power level I can buzz right up most hills, if I need more power I find that if I hit the throttle also while I'm peddling it gives a little extra boost.

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    I hope I wasn't sounding like a hero. Just trying to add what works for me.

    Elephant in the Room

    Most of our wipeouts have been Benny Hill incidents where we both come to a stop and one of us gets off kilter and slowly tips over possibly taking the other with them lol. I remember one of our early rides when we got our bikes, the trail turned to two very soft sand ruts. We were only...

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    I too carry an extra tube with me. However I haven't heard anyone mention the slime patches. You simply peel the backer off and stick it over the hole. Instantly bonds and holds pressure. We were in Myrtle beach riding the strip when my front tire went flat about a mile from our hotel. Since it...

    From SoCal and looking for a "value" ebike (that's full size and maybe folds)...

    So, I have to disagree with being discouraged about Xtreme bikes. I have owned two of them for 3 years now with 2500 miles on both of them. They are the only company who I can even find a lifetime warranty with. The warranty literally covers Everything on the bike, even maintenance and wear...

    My Favorite Bike Trails in the Northeastern US

    We ride the Erie canal very often and I can't begin to say which part is my favorite. I love that going into Rochester and beyond it really opens up on the canal. But at the same time going out of Fayetteville to Oneida offers different sights along the way, I love the rows of turtles basking...

    Bafang 500W Motor Life Expectancy - Do They Burn Out?

    My wifes went about 2100 miles before it gave out but it was covered under our lifetime warranty, yes I said Lifetime! Mine is still going strong with 2500 miles so far and counting, with that said my controller went bad at 2400 miles but again covered under our warranty. I did have to wait 3...

    Anyone in Michigan?

    My wife and I are planning a vacation in July and were looking for inside info on some rides. We don't like riding with traffic so preferably designated trails. Also any great attractions, places to eat or things to do. Any input is appreciated!

    E bike Cover For Highway Travel

    I started looking at covering ours but when I did get a good cover over everything I was not happy with how much more of my view was worse when in the vehicle. It also made my cars rear lights almost impossible to see. In the end I scrapped the whole covering it idea. I use a cargo style bike...

    Is there a cover for the battery connections when battery is not installed?

    Mine is basically a round plug where the battery connects so I was thinking an automotive rubber vacuum plug, if I can find a size that plugs in to it.
