No regulation. An ebike that weighs less than 60lbs with a top speed of less than 30mph is legally a bicycle. An ebike that weighs more than 60lbs and/or a top speed greater than 30mph is legally a moped/motorcycle.

Just dont try and shift under load and the Alfine should hold up. Nexus is a stronger hub if youre concerned. Rohloff is very robust but super pricey. Icrewse seems to favor the nuvinci hubs.

Why are ignorant authoritarian teatards so proud to repeatedly spout off about that which they obviously know less than nothing? This gentlemans case will be dismissed as de mininis. Even if it were theft the amount allegedly taken is so small that the defendent cannot show harm. As such the...

No, legally this is not theft. The plug was unrestricted in any way, in a place of public accommodation. No signage, nothing. If the school intended its use for authorized personnel only it would be turned off, locked, or otherwise restricted. This gentlemen will win his case. No judge in his...

A singlespeed fat bike with a mac hub and studded tires could be a go anywhere ebike during winter. They even make full suspension fat bikes. If you're just rocking a normal ebike go with studded tires. Invest in winter cycling clothing. It can get expensive quickly. Salt is your enemy. As...

Studded tires for the win. If you're electric you won't mind the added rolling resistance. If we're talking pedal power alone its nice having two bikes for when the studs are not needed. I recommend Nokian brand studded tires. They have whatever to suit your needs. The schwalbe marathon are...

Yeah this is a great place to spam those knock-off designer boots. You'll sell tons here. From what I understand Ford, and GM, are still getting cells from LG Chem's plant in Korea. It appears LG Chem is big enough to open a large battery plant and then just let it sit idle until demand...

The free market is like unicorns; it does not exist.

I think you mean Livonia, Michigan.

Super bright lights might just be the best bet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElnMZNOH2mg
