    Two MIKs...sort of

    I have a 7s in a medium for friends who visit me in the country. My 9s is an extra large which means I’ve spent little time on the 7s though I am using its low mileage battery. I bought sometime ago a bag for the 7s rack which didn’t mate. This thread stimulates me to re-examine the situation

    I took my last ride for a few weeks (hand surgery tomorrow). The 15 miles carried me silently past this crowd of unsuspecting gravid Black Angus...or for the riders from town…big deer. The historical sign would be news to Virginia’s Governor Youngkin.

    Cycling Classic Helmet Visor Brim

    Sodium-ion eBike Battery Packs

    What’s to be gained by the new type of batteries emerging is much greater energy density…lighter weight…a durability that will outlast the owner…safer.

    I had that same problem with my trek Allant 9. Fortunately I took the advice of Alaskan and replaced it with his recommendation, the name of which escapes me. Vado 5, my Allant…these are premium versions that shouldn’t have such an obvious problem
