    Brompton Folder-Help me before I do something stupid-But pro

    Thanks for replies. Yes, $1000 should build a nice EBrompton but as noted there is a shortage of used Bromptons which is only folder that will roll correctly after folding.(I cannot carry it too far)(If you know another folder as compact and easy to move after fold then sound the alarm) And it...

    Brompton Folder-Help me before I do something stupid-But pro

    My eye sight is diminishing due to a detached retina and old age. In fact, I failed my drivers eye exBrompton-am and expect to lose my license. However, the proper ebike will keep me independant and mobile for my remaining years. I am focused on a Brompton ebike based on its fast fold and...

    Controller Interchangeability

    I need 2 controllers replaced; one is a Wilderness Energy 36v brush-less and the other is an eZee 36v brush-less. I don't expect to increase the voltage. Must I use the name brand replacement? Any suggestions where to get the best price?

    STOLEN BIKES....HOW TO GET THEM BACK

    Probably best advice given. In my city, bikes can/should be registered ($2.00). That way, police have absolute identity when they find it.

    STOLEN BIKES....HOW TO GET THEM BACK

    Sorry your bike was stolen. I Originally filed a police report which was a big help getting my stolen bike back. I also posted a stolen report on craigs list and posted some flyers in the neighborhood. Mine was recovered incidentally when the police served a warrant on the thief for a different...

    Bicycle Stolen within 4hrs in UK Theft Hotspots

    THE POLICE FOUND MY BIKE. :shock: :D I just came back from the police warehouse where I identified my Breezer which was stolen about 3 months ago. Seems they served a warrant on a guy on a separate charge and found the bike. Everything seems to be intact but I'll bet the lithium battery has...

    debate on universal access to health care

    This article has identified the precise nature of the problem, (begin rant) i.e., that the medical profession has become a veritable gold mine for the elite in the industry including Doctors, hospitals, drug companies, pharmacies, insurers, etc. Unfortunately, the solution's suggested by this...

    Lithium Battery Aging Degradation

    This info isn't very scientific (measured/controlled) but I purchased 2 lithium batteries for my camera (I believe it was 2 1/2 years ago). One battery is dead. It shows "green" on the charger but won't operate the camera. I didn't use it so I guess it died from aging. The other one is in use...

    A timely thread because my bicycle was stolen about 3 hours ago. I parked it in the bike rack at Borders book store about 3 miles from home and locked it with my 6 foot cable lock and went inside to browse conversational Spanish books. I came out about 30 minutes later and SHAZAM it had...

    Do you talk about ebikes to anyone IRL?

    On average, I have to explain my e-bike to 3 to 5 curious people a week. Folks at my LBS were impressed with my first build about 2 years ago so I let the manager and the chief wrench ride it. Then same thing last year with my second build and just last week, they started selling Currie Izip...

    debate on universal access to health care

    1) England's healthcare system actually is socialized medicine. Canada's system is not socialized medicine. I don't recall ever hearing any American politician proposing socialized medicine for America. When a government proposes to control my health care and well being, semantics are...
