    Beijing Summer

    I lived in China for almost 8 years 20 years ago, loved it, biking in any city can be a workout as cars do not share the road well. If you take care and have a good bike you will do well. Good luck.

    Help a Newbie Build or Buy His First Ebike. UPDATED..

    For $1400 if you have a bike and luck you might get 40 miles at 15mph. A 30-40AH battery and a 29" bike with 2-3,000 watts might do it. 30MPH is normally motorcycle speed. I am 250 lbs and can ride 20-25mph for 15-20 miles on 29", DD rear, 20AH and have about $1400 invested. Good luck in your build.

    Convert 21 speed to 1 gear

    What parts do I need to convert my 21 speed E 29" bike to one speed. Or is there a kit to do so. I live in an area that has no hills so I use my PAS in high gear only. Maybe a link or company to help getting ready to service my two year old bike and set up for spring again. Old man on the Beach
