    Fight against ebikes heating up in Ontario

    Then again, a bicycle has two wheels, one wheel is aunicycle, three is a tricycle and for a quadricycle. In many law text things they refer to pedalcycles to cover them, altho no more then three wheels usually. But then again the four wheeled things with pedals I've seen were clearly cars...

    How many "useful watthours" do you have?

    Roughly 300wh of lead, tho it seems I dont ever use that much. Weighs a fuckton, or 1.6 shitloads in USofA units. Could get away with less if my current ebike didn't suck so much.

    Motorcycle class Hub Motor

    18 hp here: EAx1KUIb9Zo but it's an 50cc modded to 70cc, dosen't count. However the dude recons with better fuel and no air filter they could get 21 bhp and scaled down to 50 cc that would be 15bhp, seems to confirm what you're saying. Also this video is awesome, building of an euro style 50cc...

    Why do motorcycles tend to have low miles?

    Well, basicly a day earlier I needed some liniment and the store was gonna close, one of my co workers gave me a ride on his CBR 125, and it was quite enjoyable. But I don't have a class 6 lisence or I'd have looked into getting one. The next day at work the topic came up and I mentionned how...

    Why do motorcycles tend to have low miles?

    I've accidentally bought a 2002 beewee couple days ago, 11K kms on it. Just needed carb cleaned, now it runs good. (electric starter not working and dead battery tho.) oJtzw_YXLP8 I've noticed very few other motorcycles on the road when it's raining or even just not sunny, bet that's...

    How often do you drive a >1000 pound 4-wheel vehicle?

    Despite having not owned one for close to a decade, it happens once or twice-ish per year.

    Throttle mods for drop bars.

    Yup, GMC denali has mtb sized bars that are in two peices, chopped at center and mtb twist shifters near teh stem. I've thought about getting one just for the bars. CCM medalist seems to be setup similary, but I'd bet any road bike that had mtb shifters somehow fitted onto it near the stem...

    improving eBike road handling?

    City slicker at the rear, yeah that may be why your bike feels tail happy. These tires ride real nice, spool up fast, got low rr and seem to last forever. Yay! But, in cornering they feel like the bike wants to wash out under me, not the most confidece inspiring. Suggest getting german...

    Did I do the right thing?

    I woulda swished over to the car's left, spit on it's window as I passed and slowly merged back into the bike lane. Edit: There's ample place for a bike between two moving cars either side to side or front to back, for the rest your ears give you a 360 degree view of where cars are and how fast...

    Any clubbing scientists out there?

    Accident this morning

    Bottomless funds? I'd get something like a Marin Mill Valley. Otherwise check out bike shops that deal second hand bikes, or pawn shops. That way you can get something pretty awesome for cheap, just avoid anything that looks like it's been ridden quite a lot or has shoddy looking build or...

    Bike Jump Fail

    But just about any other DH bike would have survived that. Thing is that one was 6 years old and second hand, presumably well used and so much weaker from fatigue, new it coulda survived. Compounded by the way the bike has the stock Marzochi Z5, they arn't really ideal for this kinda use and...

    If you could do it all again...

    Unless like most people on this forum you intend to ride a shitty electric motorcycle that poses as an ebike, then I'd make sure it's fully usable as a bicycle. My current ebike is worlds apart from my very first one, but it still sucks. It's a fairly recent rigid mountain bike, pretty shoddy...

    How do YOU measure your speed?

    How do I measure it? I prefer not to. Otherwise, in the DB I stretched out a tape measure and measured two loaded tire roll outs from valvestem to valvestem, then devided by two. For the rest I prefer to not have a speedometer. They look bad, weigh something and don't seem to be useful...

    Bike Jump Fail

    Hence the warning sticker "FOR ON ROAD USE ONLY" that's near the stem. Tho the dude did land that real bad-like. I recall breaking the headtube off my bmx as a kid doing bmx stuff with it... It sucks they can get away with selling underbuilt bikes through redefining normal use by putting a...

    Do you run disc brakes?

    My ebike has a set of cantis up front, don't see the point in using anything else at this juncture. I mean, I could send myself over the bars at anytime with them so, meh. Tho would be nice to have a second brake on that bike like a backup for if/when shit happens, especially since can't...

    Identifying friends and foes

    Would be cool to see the top 50 freinded/foed people and how many ppl have freinded or foed them atmo. Also I understand "foe" is an ignore button, but what does freinding do?

    Bafang SWXH Gear Change Swap Metal Nylon

    That second pic makes it look like a radial or disk fan could be fitted onto the bell in the space between it and the gears, sucking air through the windings and pushing it onto the motor's outer shell.

    How do you mark or "kudo" exceptional quality postings?

    Welp, copy paste into this thread with a link back to original thread would do the trick, kinda like quotable quotes thread.

    The flu

    And so as explained in that comic I drew, I may get to have the pleasure of experimenting this newfangled flu thing. Or, maybe not - but either way hours of fun in perspective! For now I'm just lethargic and miserable. Probably gonna call in sick tomorrow cause I'm just gonna infect everyone...

    Best wheel size

    are disc brakes worth it ?

    No. Less housing lenght means better brake response, less housing bends also means better brake response. You don't need to use the cable holders on your bike, and if avoiding them means a better cable line that'S not ugly then go fer it, nothing wrong using a zip tie. Ajust housing lenght so...
