I just installed Hilltopper Sprinter kit on my Tern D7i ebike that didnt have a proprietary battery replacement at the Los Angeles Tern Distributor. He offered $1,500, if I bought another new Tern ebike. They are now over $3,000, cheapest one. Bought mine for $1,500. It has been trials...

Distance ratings are estimates based on average rider weight, flat terrain, no wind or no obstructions like cross streets and lights and not using the boost level. My normal ride is with everything opposite listed. Your return ride may be different or harder, using more battery. Be careful...

Not only is it good exercise, it helps with balance, timing, reflexes, depth of field, coordination, bike laws, attention, etc. It gets you outside. Stimulates the brain, a sense of accomplishment. A gym keeps you inside breathing fake air unless, you bike there. Read how to lock a bike or...

The Tern GSD Cargo Hold rack bag is 5.7 lbs. The Tern foldup single side saddlebag is much lighter and compact when folded.

Youre right it is pricey at about $100+. There is a cheaper Tern foldable hard side saddle bag, depending on need. I bought just one side. Check it out in person. It is very high quality.

My D7i lost power two times. Two connectors separated at separate times and one had to be soldered. I suggest checking the wires occasionally.

From time to time check all wires by following each wire from beginning to end. You might find a loose connector as two were found on mine, disabling the bike two separate times.

My Tern D7i, a cheap ebike, has a zero power setting that supplies slow speed power. Yet at zero power, it is still too much for my mixed age group's speed. The reason is the leader likes to pedal fast at slow speed. Strange, eh? He is still too slow for my zero power setting. So, now I'll...

The gym and off bike exercises like walking or power walking add to ability to navigate on a bike. Off bike physical activities positively affect reflexes, ligaments, muscles and thought processes. Riding a bike with aplomb is the culmination of off bike physical fitness and on bike trained...

How funny you are. I never heard that kind humor before. I'm 73, 74 in Feb. The men in my family died in their 70's so, I'm not hopeful I'll live long enough to get rusty or use a walker. The procedures I've outlined are spotty leaving gaps to fill in by resourceful riders as well as those...

Try to find the rare health oriented M.D. They take another year of natural health education consisting of vitamin and mineral knowledge. They tend to prescribe them before drugs.

Why did he ride, if hes so closed minded? Did he apologize and give you an accessory or lunch? I dont care that people dont know what they are missing. To me thats backpedaling. I go forward. My bike doesnt go backwards.

I'm 210lbs. and my D7i goes up steep hills, too. I'm losing weight on the Keto diet. Its basically 20-50 grams max. per day. I try for 20 gr. per day by knowledge and reading labels before buying and eating meat. I avoid red meat 6 days a week. I have a throttle for cruising when tired...

I dont understand the question, Im lost in the details. I think, step thru or not, swinging your leg, you could put both hands on handlebar, standing on ground, weight on straight left leg, LEAN OVER HANDLEBAR, LEFT FOOT FACING FOREWARD, raise right leg backward swinging leg in one motion over...

Its necessary to mentally budget the cost amortized over maybe a three or five year period. You might want to consider selling a bike sometime to sweeten your deal. The next thing is to think how much a bike of this calibre will bring to your table meaning, the benefit to your fitness regime...

I ride in a group Saturday mornings, some days during the week and stationery bike and leg machines almost everyday at 24Hr Fitness, no senior health issues. I think people with heart issues have to know their fallibility to know how far to venture from home or people who can help. Or...

Thats why most drive and dont mess with bikes. Theres a learning curve from zero knowledge to 100% as well as security. Zero knowledge on cars means to take it to a dealer or shop and stick to the maintenance schedule just as on bikes. On bikes its called a "tuneup" involving the total bike...

I notice that among my mixed bike biking group, of which I have the only ebike, no matter the sophistication or price of the bikes new, they all have performance problems going uphill or grades, while I dont. I dont sympathize or gloat, because its a choice based on recreation, while my ebike...

I use it as a light cable and watch the bike thru a window, if I dont use the heavy locks, for a lunch. Youtube has bolt cutter tests I saw after I bought it. Cant cut thru the rivets, but pulls out of the holes by twisting. Its tougher than a small-med. cable. If it is used tightly, it may...
