I call it frugal when someone wants to save a few Bucks. In the old Country some Kids learn from there Parents, "The Rich know how to be frugal". My eBike needed Baskets. A couple unused Freezer Baskets got spray-painted Black then ziptied to the front and rear Rack. Light, strong and looking...

While larger Wheel Rim sizes are more comfortable to ride, the smaller ones put less stress on the plastic planetary Gears common in eBike Motors. In the old days Steam Locomotives pulling heavy loads had the small wheels, Passenger Train Locomotives had really large Wheels build for speed. Cheers

Cant say this is my experience. When my rear Wheel Motor started making notices I contacted Fucare the Manufacturer via Amazon and within a few Days Fucare send not only a replacement Motor but a complete new Wheel with Motor installed everything free of charge no huffing and puffing. This is...

GPS is nice but not 100% trustworthy. Maps don't need electricity and in an emergency one can start a Fire with it IF one has a Lighter or Matches along. I use my eBike as a fun activity. When on my eBike I pretty well always know from experience where I am and what Compass direction I am...

Good to know - thanks ! Cheers

Who would've thunk it !

Last week a Fire Chief in a nearby Community had a new Lithium polymer Battery which was removed from the unit after it run out of charge exploding. The Chief reported it was removed from his Air Soft Gun then just set on the Floor of his Garage then 15 minutes later it self detonated and...

That is what European Government Propaganda drums into People 24/7/365. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know because I grew up in Germany, always had Guns and love them because if need be and as Sam Colt said they made everybody equal. Lots of really bad Dudes in this World, most...

I am a Canadian and luckily have a Family Doctor, many Canadians have not.\ and have to go to walk in Clinics. The other Day I was at the Doctors Office for a checkup. I get there once or twice a year. One Sidewall of his Office one can see the Patient Files which must be in the 1000sands not...

On the other hand we all have seen Bicycle Riders which don't play by the Rules and could not care less so it goes both ways. Many Cars/Trucks have now Dashcam Cameras which could give the Lawyer of the Motor vehicle the Ammo he needs to prove his Clients innocence. Courtesy can go a long way ...

And yes, Mirrors definitely improve Safety ! Cheers

If I am biking in a lot of aggressive Traffic I attach a visible rear facing Camera to the Bike. This seems to improve curtesy by Automobile and PU Truck Drivers considerable. Once the see the Camera the seem to realize there behavior and License Plate is already recorded. Cheers

Obviously a hard Lesson which I am glad you told us about and I am definitely try to avoid, Thanks

You may not be an "Expert" but I like your advise because it makes sense thank you !

Sized up Bolts and such can be made to release by putting some Heat to it. An ordinary Propane Torch will do, the heat from a cutting Torch works much faster. Cheers

I just received a Spoke tension Tool. Unfortunately it wont work on my eBike because the Pins are to far apart (or the available space on the Spokes on my eBike) is to short. Any suggestions by the Experts other then going by sound. Cheers

I agree 100%

Before I turned 20 I was very accident prone, what a nightmare for my poor Parents. Since then I gradually became more and more Safety conscious. 50+ years later I still carry a valid CDL and Weekly drive a 18Wheeler to support my Hobbies. I am in the habit of constantly checking my Mirrors. One...

Just wondering if a Heat sensitive cutout Switch attached to the Batterie would make sense ?

I did the Lochside Trail from Downtown Vic to Sidney as well as the Galloping Goose Trail almost all the way out to Sooke and back numerous times in 23. No problem as my Bike (750 W) has 2 Batteries which move my 210 carcass easily. My Bike is a Fucare Gemini X which is reasonable priced and...
