Thanks for the replies, I am waiting for spring so we can hit the trail!

I built this from a front hub kit, the total was about $500.00. She is disabled and can't ride a regular bike. The price includes 3 12 volt lead acid batteries and a new front tire and tube.

I live about a mile from Clinton River Park and have never had any problem with taking my e bike on the trail.

Beautiful picture, have a happy new year.

I haven't noticed a difference. I have heard that heat is harder on the battery than cold.

Interesting, it reminds me of something that I would have seen advertised in a Popular Mechanics mag. in the early 60's, except that there were no cordless drills in those days.

I am not that enthusiastic about anything, but, I do enjoy the heck out of my e bike!

Love it!

A person on a regular bike can go as fast as I can on my e bike, I have had them pass me. It's not having pedal assist, it's trying to make two object occupy the same space that causes accidents.

Men must register, women don't have to though. Sounds unfair to me. Boys were groomed to be ready for the army. We have had more than one comander and cheif that dodged the draft. Now, I spoke about a woman's bike because that is what it was advertised as. You are right, not all men were...

I am glad that your friend wasn't seriously injured. Today I had a few near misses, one guy was looking at his smart phone as he pedaled. A few others came out of a curve on the wrong side of the trail.

I always thought that the boys were taught to be tougher and stronger so they would sign up for the draft and defend the women and children.

87 degrees and sunny!

I have owned both a Yamaha and a Honda motorcycle, I disliked the smell and the noise. To me the e bike experience is soothing and tranquil, I don't care to go over 16 mph, most times I am happy at 10 mph. I don't care for having anything that looks like it has a gas engine.

I am sure that there will be a market for the e-scooters or e-mopeds. I believe that many of us that ride e-bikes like bikes and have a certain romance with them. There might be a small over lap in the two circles.

A step through for older guys (such as myself) is more practical, but I couldn't get myself to consider a "girl's bike". I still remember guys taking flack for riding their sister's bike back in the 50's and 60's. I either tilt the bike or take it to a near by car stop so I can stand on it while...

Good thoughts, the bottom line is to just be polite. It's hard to regulate being considerate.

At the entrance of the park where I ride

I rode 10 miles yesterday, got home and found that 4 people needed their lawns cut asap, did that and I feel great today... getting ready to take another ride! No pain... lots of gain.

That look that we might interpret as pain on an athletes face is more of a look of passion and determination. Years ago when I was 13 I came in 3rd n a quarter mile race. I dropped on the grass after I crossed the finish line and gasped for air for what seemed like forever. Why? Because of the...
