    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    Well, I have now had a problem and am not happy with Priority's warranty service. I had a shifter cable break. I have had four other bikes with NuVinci gubs and can assure you that this is not a normal issue. I wrote to Priority and included pictures. The response was to send me some links to...

    Would you buy or adopt a humanized pet?

    My thought, when I first looked at this thread, is that dogs have been altered, mostly through selective breeding, to be able to live in close proximity to humans. I look at my dog and there is simply no way that an English Bulldog would have naturally occurred. Further, I doubt that he would be...

    Add a rear rack that can carry a lady weighting ~130 pounds

    I am going to go in a different direction here. My experience comes from living in Asia where various female friends would ride on the rear rack regularly. I also took my adult daughter (about 130 Lb) to work regularly. The trouble is that most western women will not ride correctly. To be...

    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    I contacted Priority and Truckrun about a throttle. Thuckrun says they do have one for the motor used in the Current. However, they suggested contacting Priority first, due to current shipping issues. I did contact Priority and they said they do not have a compatible throttle. Soon I will...

    Newbie question: TSDZ2 upgrades.

    I will give it a shot on the way home. Of course, that wind will be behind me, not a real A to A comparison.

    Newbie question: TSDZ2 upgrades.

    Well, I tried the bike without the speed sensor today. I was even able to compare the same route with my new bike and the bike with the TSDZ2. Short summary, if you tied this you would immediately value the new bike. The conditions were the same, a pretty steady headwind at about 20-25mph on...

    Destination Infrastructure

    That's how I did my shopping yesterday. I opened my Wald folding baskets and wheeled my bike into the store. At the store that I shop at I have never been given any grief about it, It is a Krogers under the name of Dillons. It is quite handy in that I can be sure that I am not going to...

    Newbie question: TSDZ2 upgrades.

    The reality was that I was downshifting for riding in headwinds, an indication that I was powering out. With normal headwinds of 20-30mph I was seldom getting out of the teens and regular riding placed me between 13 & 17 mph, nowhere near 40. As stated, under ideal conditions, no headwind or...

    Throttle or no throttle. That is the question

    I will point out a situation my daughter was in several years ago. She was on an ebike in Salt Lake City and was hit by a car that was coming out of a parking lot. Of course, the driver immediately left the scene. For those of you not from the US, please understand that the single largest cause...

    I tried putting a Light & Motion Seca 1800 on my Priority Current, It didn't work

    I tried adding an L&M Seca 1800 to my Priority current two ways. For those who don't know, this is a hard-wired light intended for eBikes. It has a wide Vin band of 6-24VDC. It draws a peak of 1.9A at 12VDC. With that out of the way, I mounted it to the front fender bolt, frankly, it looked...

    ebike commuting notes

    To eliminate rattles, after using the supplied hardware, I then put zip ties on. The Zip ties are not holding it, but they are using their elasticity to hold the baskets firmly against the rack. That gets rid of the rattles. As far as rattles when it is closed, it doesn't. The rack is held...

    Another commuter here. The big things I have experimented with are: Baskets vs panniers I have tried this one several times, the folding Wald baskets look super geeky. However, they are just so practical. Yes, I have tried panniers and an Ortlieb briefcase. in the end, they just are nowhere...

    Orange Seal tire sealant works

    Keep in mind that nearly all of these solutions (I still use slime, but this is true of most of them) are water-soluble. This allows for easy cleanup. However, it also means that some of your small leaks may return when riding in heavy rain. . . . the moral to this, like it was mentioned...

    Newbie question: TSDZ2 upgrades.

    On my TDSZ2 build, I ended up going with a 14t sprocket and a 52t chainring. This was using a Nuvinci N380. Under ideal conditions, no wind, flat ground, and a long run, it would get up to about 24mph.

    Winter e-biking advices

    Seeing as this thread has been kicked to life, I agree with having goggles. I am also a fan of studded tyres. Yes, I have experienced the difference. I recently got a new eBike, replacing the one I had been using, and one of the things I checked before purchasing was the availability of studded...

    "The coming together of the bike and car industries"

    I am not saying that this article is what it will look like, but I do expect to see a major shakeout in the industry. It happens in most industries that grow fast on the back of technological advancement and the hard work of small venture owners. On that many here probably remember is the...
