    Ebike riding with a speaker and lots and lots of lights?

    What are your thoughts on those people who ride their ebikes with radio or music just loud enough, not blastingly loud? The other aspect is about lights, crazy light shows, modest light shows or subtlety led colors or very traditional lights. Flashing or solid, blinding lights or what. I ran...

    Another broken aluminum frame - Surface 604 Elements

    Surface 604 Elements BSO bike chain stay broke at the curve next to the seat post. My bet would have been the top tube cracking at one of the holes in the frame for cable. Which is the whole reason I placed the 36V 20Ah battery on the rear rack. Will get it reinforced and welded.

    Compact electric fatbike

    Why specifically a mini fat bike? Its not like you are riding through deep mud which is what fat bikes are for. Are you carrying it up stairs? Is space in short supply to store your bike? Its not like a regular bike takes up a lot more space then a mini bike. What is your budget? New or used?
