Thanks for sharing your experiences and I'm glad this forum existed. I normally would go to a bikeforum.net and share this under the commuter section, but the problem lies with some people lacking experience or the perspective knowledge of it in ebikes and the technical side of it. I'll probably...

Today was one of those days where nothing seems to go right. If you ever had one of days, please share. My bad day: I have a 15 mile commute to work and as I was riding out of my garage, my left foot accidently hit my front fender and a catastrophic chain of events took place. First, my...

Heck, If the electrical goes on my ebike, I would just call home to have someone pick me up. If you're bike is in good running condition, how often do you think it'll break down on you? If it's less than three, then converting it might be a good thing. But then again, it's all preferance. I...

Yeah, the chin gaurd is detachable. I just ordered mine and they said it'll take 4-6 days to deliver. So I bought this sunglasses/goggles with optional straps and a face mask when I do my ride-by-honking my air horn... :D...

Here's one that I always wanted to get, but I have to get it overseas coz' they wouldn't sell it here. Not unless any of you knows where they sell it in the US. Btw, here's the site. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/LargeImage.aspx?ModelID=10718&FileName=10718-1.jpg

I have the Specialized Deviant 07' (Black flames). I also wear my goggles because of the 25-45 mph makes my eyes tear up and by the time I get to my destination my eyes dry and itchy. Regardless of what people think, they are going to look at you and wonder who, what, where, is he riding or...

Set the thief up and let him steal your bike. Then you pepper spray, stun him, and then kick em' in his private parts. You'll probably make front page in the newspaper. The bike coalition and the cops will commend you. With that type of media, you'll probably have all the thieves be afraid to...

I bought my single speed conversion kit for $17 U.S. dollars. And as for the front Chain rings, I just removed the other two and lined it up with rear cog. You might check this option.

Has anyone converted their 8-10 speed e-bike to a single speed? The reason why I decided to convert it to a single speed because of easy operation. I have a Crstalyte 5304 rear hub motor and the problem I was having were the constant flats, blowouts, pothole snake bite. And for those of us...

If you ever get pulled over and cited, take the time to see what vehicle code they cited you on. With the code being all confusing and contradicting, most of us do not handle alot of these and when we do, we cite them under the wrong code and you can fight this in court and win. Make you sure...

Hey, I'm all for it. Going with the speed of traffic is fine with me. I also understand that picking up your speed would be safer. Out in the open with speed limit 35-40 mph, I'll let my ebike fly like it was Indy 500. My bike can go 40+, but when the speed limit is 25 mph I'll stay within that...

I have a similar set up like (Crystalyte Pheonix Cruiser, 72v40ah controller, LiMn batteries) Ypedal and I have 32+ mile round trip commute in the streets of San Francisco (very serious hills) and San Mateo.I just rode my ebike and did a 50+ miles r/t just to sight see and do errands today...
