I bought a slightly used RC and changed the fork to a Suntour MobiE25. It is about 2 pounds lighter than the stock fork, has an air spring and adjustable rebound damping. Geometry is unchanged from stock and Suntour has it on clearance. My total cost was just over $300. I also chances the...

Thanks Dave. I was looking at some pictures from a few years ago and decided that I had to see if I could make something work. I have it down to 47 pounds. It’s still heavy for a bike, but it handles as if it were much lighter and the ride is very nice.

I haven’t been able to ride for the past year due to complications from a cervical laminectomy, (three levels), but I wanted to try, so I bought a nearly new Yamaha CrossCore RC. The RC has a greater stack height and shorter reach, so I figured that if I was to ride again, this would be a good...

If your ebike is more motorcycle than bicycle, then they might be good, but Levi’s would probably do. If you plan to exert yourself, I think that you will find them restrictive, hot and uncomfortable. What are you riding?

Flipper. I like it. I think that most Americans call it a thingamabob, doohickey or the bent thingy. thingamabob noun INFORMAL used to refer to or address a person or thing whose name one has forgotten, does not know, or does not wish to mention.

Still going strong. Timeless designs. They got it right, but I’ll keep my Martins.

What were we talking about????

This thread was doomed from the time of its conception. It was off the rails by design. Just another troll stirring the waters under their bridge.

Because of the terrain, it seems that there is little need for a wide range of gears or electric assistance in the Netherlands.

I think that the latest incarnation of solarcabin/dashriprock/karen may have crawled back into their bunker, (mom’s basement). Be vewy vewy quiet.

Pretty wild looking ride. It must provide an interesting perspective.

I served honorably. I doubt that you can say the same. My oath had nothing to do with a twisted and reckless interpretation of the second amendment. You say that I am an oath breaker. Are you an Oath Keeper? You must be a very Proud Boy. I am tired of cowards that need to be heavily armed...

Arms does not literally mean guns. There is a reason for the term firearm. It’s because it is a specific type of arm. You can be armed with a knife. The second amendment doesn’t say firearm. This is not a gun forum. I understand that your gun probably helps you to compensate for your...

And the rest of the world doesn’t care what you think.

Read the amendment. It never mentions guns. It says arms, and never mentions firearms. My point wasn’t about the misinterpreted second amendment. It was about uncontrolled use of deadly weapons and your lame argument about inanimate objects. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the...

Nuclear weapons are inanimate objects and also do nothing without human intervention, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have one.

I was paid to become proficient with killing weapons. I get no pleasure from them and I don’t feel the need to own any. I am not the fearful type.

You are free to own and ride a cheap ebike. It sounds like it suits your purpose. Others, including myself have purposes that require greater range, better handling, lighter weight, good brakes, a good range of gears, decent build quality and basically a better bike. It seems that you are...

If they figure out that his “ebike” is really an illegal electric motorbike the kid and the family may have some bigger problems than just banned e-bikes. Liability wise, if you are breaking the law the consequences can be extreme.

One problem is that it is easier to ban all e-bikes outright than it is to learn about them and make common sense laws, (and enforce them). Parents that enable dangerous behavior should be held accountable as well. Whether pedals are present or not, if a vehicle is powered solely by a motor...
