    Growing pain with ebikes.

    From article: The importance of the issue has arisen partly due to an actual increase in e-bike fires, but also largely due to a media frenzy that has blown the issue out of proportion. While e-bike fires do occur in the US, they represent one of the lowest risks of all forms of...

    Electrifying a cargo bike - Mid drive or Hub?

    I've owned mid-drive cargo ebike like Tern GSD, also Chinese cargo ebike purchased from Alibaba. Both served me well, but one cost thousands more. For the cost of a Tern, performance isn't worth the thousands of dollar more for carrying heavy load on an ebike. Top speed & cruising speed on hills...

    Electrifying a cargo bike - Mid drive or Hub?

    Since the rear wheel is 20" size, it would be ideal for hub motor, since smaller diameter wheel would allow higher torque (to climb hills), far less complicated (& cost) conversion than mid-drive conversion.

    E-bikes are arguably worse than electric cars

    In modern, current time; vast majority of human population reside in cities & metro areas that bicycles or ebikes can replace cars. If you live in places where driving a car for hours to reach a hospital is necessary, likely, you're in the very minority.
