    Help with bike frame sizing please.

    Another factor that may come into play is if you have longer legs or a longer upper body. I have short legs relative to my hight.

    Help with bike frame sizing please.

    If you like going down hill I would recommend the large. That with the longest range dropper post as you will feel way more safe riding more “in” the bike as you drop the post for your descent and have more fun too.

    Paying on a bike you haven't recieved

    I have purchased items from start ups that I believed in the product at a reduced price with the option of getting my money back. It was the condition for getting a great deal. I did that with my BLUETTI solar generator during COVID.

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Well at least she didn’t make you take it to the LBS in shame!

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    I replaced the Apple air tag batteries by removing the motor for both my wife and mine Orbea Rise’.

    A First - Stung inside my helmet!

    If it would happened a little further away from the house my video cameras would have picked it up

    A First - Stung inside my helmet!

    I was cutting my grass with a push mower in North Carolina. The land is steep and I ran over a hornets nest under ground and was stung on the back of my right hand. I immediately started to run down the hill leaving the lawn mower there which they completely surrounded. I started rolling down...

    E‑bike charging while travelling: ever been refused or asked to pay?

    I once ate at a burger joint that charged me 25 cents for requesting no ice in my soda

    E‑bike charging while travelling: ever been refused or asked to pay?

    I just don’t ask and always bring mine and my wife’s bike straight into the room. The front desk does not know they are e-bikes.

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    I wear a full face on blues and higher. I was leading a friend up a narrow upward traveling trail on the side of Pinhoti 2 in Ellijay GA and look back to check on him making the mistake of looking down the mountain instead of up and at that exact moment my front tire hit a large root that...

    Transporting two electric bikes, 3000 miles.

    We do bring them in at night for security reasons though, out of sight out of mind.

    Transporting two electric bikes, 3000 miles.

    Our 5th wheel has a hitch and we tow them outside with no cover on a rack and we have been from coast to coast with them. No problems

    Wife first emtb suggestions

    My wife road analog first and fought me the whole way but once she got on her new ebike she realized the areas of mountain biking she thought were gone for her due to her age. She told me at least two times during our first ride that she loved me. Now she wants to go just as much as I do.

    Wife first emtb suggestions

    My wife is 5’3” and rides an Orbea Rise with the software switched over to a standard power Shimano (85nm) but with the smaller battery which gives her power with less weight but shorter range ( we have never run out of juice as we never do more than 20 miles). She can stand up, touching the...

    Using car carrier in the rain

    I have exclusively used a hitch mount carrier since purchased in 2020. I even mount it to the back of our 5th wheel camper. We have had no issues with it and no cover. I do take them off when camping and put them inside every night and they live in my garage otherwise.
