I am well informed and that is what makes me a 'nutter' who goes first. I lead by choosing to ride bikes and lessening my impacts. We are already screwed but must start to behave responsibly.

Can a dog catch a Frisbee? It does not know about higher math. What about a seagull's flight?

When most batteries batteries go dormant in protective mode due to low voltage, they need to be jumped. That means applying voltage to the discharge port. It sometimes takes several attempts to awaken it. A woman I met four weeks ago plucked my heart's harp strings, doing just that from my...

On an Eride Pro it is hard not to do a wheelie. The front end just wants to rise of the ground with 12kW of power on tap they accelerate faster than a Tesla. They are not for bicyclists but it would be fun to get kitted out.

Many parents have purchased bikes similar to Macfox that are junk. Then the parents do not safety check them and the kids have no brakes. On these mechanically actuated brakes the inboard side needs to be regularly tightened but that access is blocked by the hub-drive. The head sets fail within...

It is a rebranded 'Happy Run'. My friends joke me that I get the happy runs every third time I eat at a certain restaurant. It is a Happy Run meant to look like a SirRon. The pedals and pedaling position are like the arms on a T-Rex, useless. It will likely catch fire. Do not keep this 'bike' or...

That is right. A duel fan laptop cooling tray works great. The problem with using the headlight is the bike times out and turns itself off. I would store at closer to 30%

From the half of that conversation that I could view, I agree with @m@Robertson's points. And I sell a lot of eBikes to kid's in the 12-16 age group. Then the parents do not have to drive them everywhere in a 3,000 pound hunk of steel.

The Soltara 2.5 is ideal for a teen. It is the same as a two but has a larger range capacity. A torque sensor makes it feel real.

Some of each. You start with a slow leak that you cannot pump up very well than it only gets worse and worse. Air loss that cannot be pumped. To avoid the problem, after valve removal and sealant injection, I blow out the stem, wipe with a Q-tip, and use the equivalent of the silicone plumbers...

@kcoffeelover, Although we do not know your region and it may not have ice, have him take the CHP eBike online instruction class, pass the test, and keep the certificate with him at all times. Brakes must be tested by a trusted adult each and every week. Stay far far away from cheap internet...

@JoeDirt, Would you rather be handed $1,000,000 by the state lottery board or 300% of $1,000,000 because you also won the bonus multiplier number? The choice is up to you. What would you do? Or if you really want you can just settle for 30% of a million bucks or even 3%.

Actually it is 300% above the Federal poverty level = $45,000. Or about what a full-time childcare worker makes.

People are walking in or calling about the program to the eBike shop here in Petaluma, CA. It launches the 18th at 6 PM for the first round. It is up to $2K per individual and is from the Air Resources Board. It will be done in two rounds of $3.5M. There are some weighted qualifications and...

Before that you had to get off your bike, flip it over and manually move the gear.

The shop were I work, Petaluma Motor Wheel, has started refusing scooters altogether. In those solid tires I use 10mm Allen keys in the holes after heating in the microwave and with Dawn on the rim.

Why is dyslexia so darn hard to spell? Speaking of Lexia I think Taylor Swift should plant the line "Alexa, turn it up" in the refrain of a song, about 20 times and then end the song with the line "Alexa, play Taylor Swift." Not that I am a Swifty, its just that she is the only one who could...

In some Malcolm Gladwell book that came out about ten years-ago he quoted a study that just holding a pencil between one's teeth upped happiness scores. A forced smile. I am reading his latest, Revenge of Tipping Point. Genuine smiles are in the eyes not the mouth. A local Safeway had a 'Smile...

One clear advantage of a through axle is that you never need to adjust the caliper after replacing the wheel.

What games do you play? In real life? Watching TV is .. sitting there passively, like a blob. With maybe yelling at a TV when nobody can hear or care. And being marketed to so you can only feel less than. Big pharma and beer love passive suckers who just sit there. Dissatisfied Blob. A bike ride...
