    How would you write ideal ebike regulations

    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.

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    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.

    'Theft of power' lands electric-car driver in jail

    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...

    'Theft of power' lands electric-car driver in jail

    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...

    Winter Riding "Often or Not" Is it safe?

    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...

    Icey- ouch.

    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...

    The future of bike tires could be airless

    Mud would certainly be a problem. Though my erection has not subsided.

    I'm a Noob and I Wanna Go 50MPH

    If you want to do 50mph get an electric motorcycle.

    possibly E biker slapped with Felony Charges in Fort Collins

    Getting harassed by the cops for ebiking is an opportunity. The Federal Law pertaining to ebikes would be very persuasive(it may even be mandatory) in a lower court, especially in absence of a local, or state, statute. If you get caught, and are operating within the confines of the Consumer...

    Production delayed indefinitely at LG Chem's Holland plant

    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...

    Production-ready Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive

    Production-ready Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive supercar unveiled By Tim Stevens posted Sep 27th 2012 8:05AM We're pretty sure we've suffered some amount of vision loss from staring at the ridiculously bright paint scheme on Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell over the past few years. MB has...

    ebike insurance

    The longer you wait to recieve medical attention the more difficult it will be to win your suit, especially if you end up having no permanent injuries. Glad you're still with us. Many attorneys don't like these types of cases so you may have to represent yourself.

    On law enforcement, generally.

    If people want to ride 2stroke bicycles, they should be mandated to route the exhaust to a full face helmet, worn by them of course. Hell, lets make that the law for all internal combustion engines.

    Persecuting E-Bikes in New York City

    The law in many places pertaining to e-bikes is disheartening. Fortunately, many e-bikes are indistinguishable from non e-bikes. If one does get harassed, fight the good fight in court. Federal law allows for e-bikes. It should not be a terribly hard win when local and/or state laws are...

    Has anyone done an electric Fixie ?

    I've barely even seen electric singlespeeds, let alone an electric fixie. How do I go singlespeed with a MAC hub?

    Car hit and run with bike, caught

    It sure is troubling that riding on the sidewalk is illegal in so many places. Here in Michigan a cyclist can pick or choose. When on the roadway a cyclist has all the rights and responsabities of a motorist. When on the sidewalk a cyclist has all the rights and responsabilties of a pedestrian...

    How about this frame?

    I want to keep the weight evenly distributed, and as low as possible. Hence, the idea of the batteries in front low riding panniers. I like steel frames that can accommodate fenders, large tires, front and rear racks, etc. I've yet to see a full suspension frame that can meet all those wants...

    How about this frame?

    http://surlybikes.com/bikes/troll This, with big fat tires, and a123 packs in front rack panniers? Maybe a springy brooks or thudbuster. It could do a suspension fork, but that would negate the batteries in the low riding pannier front rack action.
