Your “Captain” sounds like a real piece of work to want to replace a hydraulic thruster capable of continuous operation with an undersized electric unit that will shutdown from overheating in two to three minutes of operation. I live on a 100k lbs 70’ planing yacht with a short keel and 18hp...

If decent free healthcare for all, free college tuition, living wages for workers and progressive income taxes are socialism then sign me up! Seriously, no wonder young people do not see anything wrong with socialism when a conservative healthcare plan like Obamacare is decried as socialism by...

Your battery might have been assembled in Chicago, but where were the cells manufactured?

I just had an order of Chinese made LED bulbs shipped from Canada and was charged 25% tariff and a $38 inspection fee on a $166 order. A previous shipment 3 weeks ago had no extra fees.

Are you sure that this is the "fun cruiser" you are looking for? Perhaps a more relaxed upright riding position with a cruiser-type seat and wider tires? Ebikes are wonderful machines, but there is a limit to what 250w and one gear ratio can do. Either it will acellerate and climb hills or it...

It's not too low to power a BBSHD, but you won't be putting enough watts through it to justify the extra expense and weight over a BBS02 unless this is to be a rental bike that will get constant abuse. However, if you are planning on upgrading to a higher voltage battery at a later date and want...

Isn't it great "being your own boss".........

My home is too small for another computer, cheap or otherwise, and we are still downsizing even more into a tiny house type place. Why buy a laptop that needs another charger, when I can keep this in the bike tool box? Also it is a lot easier to bring the programmer to the bikes than the bikes...

https://lunacycle.com/luna-black-box-bbshd-bbs02-programmer/ Has anyone tried this? I live in a Mac home and haven't ever bothered to mess with programming my BBSHDs in PC emulator mode. It sounds like this could be very useful for those in this situation or for those without a desktop/laptop...

Well, you do have to admit that bicyclists DON'T obey traffic laws. That's just a fact of life on any road in America: bicyclists never stop at stop signs and only stop at lights if they have to, they very rarely give hand signals, ride on sidewalks when it pleases them, ride in crosswalks, and...

Seriously? You rode your motorcycle on bicycle trails in Topanga State Park? What an F'n jerk! It is people like you who will cause the Rangers to ban all ebikes from the park. What a selfish self centered asshole. And insult to injury, you used the throttle all the way, so that there would be...

I used their goatlink on mine. It needed to be put on backwards to get it to extend forwards enough to work, but it's been there for months now.

Here is one I made a year or so ago...... Just a cheap 48v pump bought online and removed from its case and connected to the charge connector of my battery. I am sure you could also use the power plug too. I use mine to top up my fatbike tires for the ride home on pavement back from the trail...

I would be very surprised if you could find a heat treater willing to take on your project due to the liability issues. If you do find a shop to do the work for you may find that the process distorts your part requiring cold straightening afterwards. If I was building a cycle capable of 100mph+...

Steel unicycle crankarms are only a couple of dollars each and will never bend. Who cares about weight=it's an ebike!
