I don't believe that Jack LaLanne extended his life a second. I believe that what he did was to improve the quality of his life up to the last heartbeat. If...
A Penny Farthing (big wheel) bicycle is also fine for riding on level, smooth ground and if you don't mind all the inconveniences and dangers involved in using...
That bus company that he linked to stated that the driver is not allowed to load the bikes. At least that is what I read the other day when he linked it. I...
... Of course e-bikes should be allowed. The issue isn't weight (and there's no convenient way for anybody to weight a bike before it's loaded on a bus rack...
Face it. Electric bicycles ARE a liability when transporting or storing them. On busses who will be liable if anything but a regular bicycle hurts anyone...
Very true. I can see a fairly simple way to get around it though that doesn't violate their insurance. Keep the batteries and controller in a removable knap...
You may check how legaal it is to take 10ah of lithium or any other 10ah or more batteries on public transportation systems? Homeland security may get a little...
I've never had a problem with a battery on a bus. The last time the one in my wife's car died I used the bus to go buy a new one and bring it home. Not a...
Arguing with you is circular. You really have little reason to post anymore as you keep the same stupid, tired arguments going day in and day out.. By your...
A "through the gears" ebike doesn't have to be high priced and can be a relatively simple modification to an existing bicycle. Simpler, I believe, than...
Just about any 1 hp motor can be used for a ebike with one to 30 gear ratios. IMO a reliable motor with the fewest ratios to get the job done efficiently is a...
Below is the dumbest comment made on this forum in a while.. bravo. The only reason i bother to reply is that any newbs reading on this group need to know the...
... The thing is, it's the truth. Hub motors are an easy choice for the mechanical portion of the design, the efficiency problems are foisted off to the motor...
John Clary gets it. Thank you John. Stay tuned, I will show you how easy it is to build a "through the gears" ebike that will out-perform any hub motor/Currie...
If you were competing in some sort of watt-weenie-challenge then " maybe " the chain drive comes out on top.. But as far as ease of install.. cyclone : You...
Up until this point your observations are probably correct, most people who are attracted to an assist bike are not very knowledgeable about bicycles and don't...
All of the ebike companies have failed or are failing! The reason is: "There isn't a "mass market" for ebikes as far as I can tell." Is the only reason. LOL If...
I would make an ebike kit if I thought that there was a market for it. I think that my ice bike is really cool and I love to ride it but I also think that I'm...
I took my ice bike out yesterday. I did around 30 miles or so and included my mountain ride to Castle Craig in Meridan CT. There was nobody else at the Castle...
It's only a 'rut' to you! You wanted more performance and you figured out how to get there. Others with the same inclination have done the same. Browbeating...
Your problem has always been that you're knowledgeable about bicycles, but not people. This probably stems from living alone too long where your only contact...
I wonder what would happen if somebody showed up for a group ride on an Optibike. An Optibike would be in the same category as my bike in performance terms....
The point is, people who haven't been riding bicycles in the past, who then go out and buy an ebike, are likely to stop riding an ebike just like they stopped...
