Looks like you reside just down the road from me. Note: many don't seem to like americans on this forum. And you are correct about Florida. Alafia for example, just a short drive from Dunedin throws some very challenging terrain at you. Not Moab, but it'll do. I have a Luna X1 and a Dengfu E06...

I have found some good people here on this forum. It seems however there are more brittle people here than I would have ever guessed. Please remove me if you are offended by my opinion. Being removed will make for a more interesting story.

It should be noted that this was a thread about airtags and following thieves to where they've taken the bike. BTW, thanks for showing my post. Nothing I said in it is untrue. Of course humor has to contain some truth or it's not funny. I do wonder however why calling people foul names like "...

Well, you make my point (which I'm sure you didn't mean to): 'How does one make the subject of ebikes political?' And the comment I made that was censored was not offensive nor was it political. I simply thought the moderator here had lost his sense of humor but it seems it is a British thing...

"I'm a progressive Democrat and I can see why those ReTrumplicans and Re-pube-licans always say, "Carry a Bible and a .45!"" Why is it the above statement is allowed on this site but I make some mild humor, simply mentioning alphabet people and my post is censored?

Glad I live in Florida. Thieves have been known to plant airtags on bikes, cars, etc... and steal them from victims homes. Not so much in Florida. Breaking into a home to steal a bike (or anything else) here comes with the very real risk and high probability of leaving at room temperature. Also...

Cash or bank transfer into my account, verified by phone call to my bank. Nothing moves till transfer is confirmed.

+100. The whole point of ambush is surprise. Everyone, myself included, has a wtf moment where we freeze at the sheer incongruity of sudden, unexpected violence. I've noticed in the US recently, violent ambushes are replacing brandishing a weapon to mug people. Criminals don't seem concerned...

Not like other martial arts; no flashy moves, just violence. One year of steady training will build skills and conditioned response making one hard to hurt. The way the world is going today, I recommend it. Former instructor.

I recently upgraded my 2021 Yari to a Lyrik and am happy with it. I now have the ability to eliminate diving into turns but have an active fork over smaller bumps. The Yari left much to be desired in that area and in adjustability and over-all performance, at least for the terrain I ride.

Ah, man... sorry to hear

You might look at the simplest possible causes: Perhaps a piece of conductive material got lodged in the charge socket of charger or battery causing a short and shutting down the BMS, or possibly an arc damaged the charge socket causing it to not fully engage and therefore not charge. After...

I had an issue where I would connect the charger to the battery before plugging it into the wall socket. The plug at the battery would arc every time. Got wise: switched off BMS, plugged into wall socket first to give a solid return path for ground. No more arcing. I also switch BMS off before...

Kalifornia; where they want to go green and have everybody drive electric but want to ban electric bikes. Get out while you can before the crazy infects you.

Hmm... I ride a full suspension fat bike with an M620 Bafang motor and had a local mtb club member try to have me banned for the same reason: that my bike was damaging the trail. As fast as I can ride those trails my bike does no damage at all. Turns out the damage I had seen myself was a dirt...

Yep, that's what we are seeing here in Florida. So far as I can see all mtb trails are open to emtb here. I run into old school sour pusses from time to time but no disparaging words.

I live in Florida and hell... We all ride with our fully, semi automatic AR-16s strapped across our backs, but we need an ebike because, you know, the extra weight. So lots of ebikes, because, lots of guns. Not that guns increase our riding performance, it's just that we are Americans and need...

I admit, I was a non-believer. Been MTBing since late 80s. Would spent up to 3 hours grinding up hill for 20 minutes of downhill. I believed you had to work for your payoff. Man... WTF was I thinking..? I thought the increasing number of ebikes I was seeing was indicative of a lazy populous...

Chris moved to Maui the same year I did and we both switched to kite surfing in '98. He immediately went from pro windsurfer to pro kite surfer. Took me a little longer to go pro because I wasn't as handsome... That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
