Ich will morgen die Bremsbeläge an meinem EBike austauschen. Heute haben die angefangen zu quietschen und sind eindeutig runter. Es sieht easy aus. Splint raus, Beläge raus, Kolben vorsichtig zurück drücken, neue Backen rein, neuen Splint rein, einbremsen und fertig? Also ich bin Mechaniker und es sieht einfacher aus als beim Auto. Aber beim Auto wird wirklich nur ausgetauscht, beim Fahrrad kein Plan. Es ist eine Tektro Hydraulik Bremse. #FediBikes #Fahrrad #EBike

i LOVE my #ebike but I got a flat in the back tire today and it is SUCH A HASSLE, plus it's hard for me to get it in and out of my car on my own. i need a mobile mechanic to swoop in and fix it for me. (i used to do all my own repairs, but the disk brakes and connectors, so fiddly. makes me nervous.)

@flowfx Das ist die Sicht junger Menschen. Für Ältere oder Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen ist ein E-Bike sogar besser, weil es nicht die Belastungsspitzen hat wie ein Fahrrad ohne Unterstützung.

Klar ist der Trainingseffekt ohne Unterstützung höher, aber manchmal ist eine gleichmäßige und niedrige, aber dafür längere Belastung gleichwertig oder sogar besser.
Das ist ähnlich dem Training im Fitnessstudio. Man kann hohe Gewichte 8x stemmen oder niedrigere 30x. Beides hat einen unterschiedlichen Effekt, aber am Ende ist es vermutlich für den Körper besser ein Kraft-Ausdauer-Training statt Muskelaufbau zu machen.

So da war ich nun nochmal im Fahrradladen 2 Schrauben holen und noch ein Schaltzug kaufen 🤣

Händler fragte noch, ob es für den #Escooter sein sollte. Hatte das Gefühl, wenn ja sage, dass raus geworfen worden wäre 😬
Aber habe da gleich gespart, ob die Lager einpressen machen würden, da kauf ich lieber das Werkzeug... Da ist man wenigstens auf kein #Fahrradladen angewiesen...
Glatt dann vergessen zu fragen, wegen ein #Ebike. Theoretisch stand da was rum was mir gefallen würde, aber bis heute keine Ahnung wie die sich überhaupt fahren.

The thing is, I'm looking forward to jumping on my #ebike to get there. Got this in January and I love it.

Quicker than the car (time wise) and waaay more fun. Don't get sweaty, so no need to change. Don't mind headwinds or hills. Consider trying one if you don't have too far to go

- Gelegenheitsradler (Wochenende, nach Feierabend)
- Strecken derzeit max 30-45km
- meist befestigte Wege, ab und an Wald/Wiese
- meist Flachland, Nord-DE
- eher erholsames Radeln, als offroad oder Rasen
- 80kg, 186cm

Die Auswahl überfordert mich, der keine Ahnung von Fahrrädern hat.
Alle scheinen die gleichen/ähnliche Komponenten zu verbauen. Gibt es zu bevorzugende Hersteller (oder zu meidende)?

Electric two- and three-wheeled vehicles have displaced nearly 1 million barrels of oil a day in 2023. That number is growing more rapidly than any other segment of EVs.

An electric scooter isn’t just an alternative to a bike or motorcycle, it can replace a far more expensive—and far more polluting—traditional car.

We have an Urban Arrow #ebike. This bike is ideal for my daughter with #epilepsy, since she can sit safely in the carrier and be part of activities that would otherwise be too complicated without a car, and inconvenient even with one.

The electric motor makes riding it super easy even with a passenger or cargo. The combined max cargo is 250 kg.

Elf Enclosed Electric tricycle
Been looking at this little guy for 5-7 years now and my 2005 golf is reaching to point where its check engine light is on more often than its not. We have a Prius for everything else the golf at this point is just there to get me to work on days I can't bike to work because of rain or its too dark which I wont bike on the roads for. This at least provides a little protection from getting hit, much more visible and looks more like a vehicle and I should be safer to ride on the roads with an orange triangle on the back. Can only go a max of 30mph if I'm really peddling.
Still hesitant because there are some limitations and unknowns.

Cons:
Everything takes twice as long to get anywhere.
There are also places I can take my #ebike that I couldn't take this because its too wide, so I'd have to spend more time on roads and less on bike trails.
I also use it to run errands when she has the Prius but since there is no bike infrastructure here I would have nothing to chain it to. Very nervous about theft. Its only 180lb and 4 people can lift a motorcycle into a truck and that's 700lbs. My neighborhood is pretty good but I live in Philly and a $10000 item stolen would be money I couldn't get back. I'd have to figure out some kind of theft insurance.

Pros:
Fully electric
I would be mostly able to repair it myself, if not any ebike specialist can, unlike modern cars there days, I've given up being able to fix cars anymore like I used to.
1800 MPeG vs 25mpg on my current car.
I can take roads and ride in conditions I wouldn't feel safe on a bike here.
I can carry a passenger, and get a pull along cart for errands if we wanted to go together.
I can probably extend the range of it using my ebike battery of we decided to go for trip longer than 20 miles.
The extra time it takes anywhere could be just considered gym time so not a loss, even though it is in my head.
If I can sell the golf for market price $1-2k it would actually be cheaper to buy this new, and I'd save $200-400 a year for the first 5 years, and once its fully paid for itself around $2k every year after that, with much lower insurance, almost zero fuel cost by comparison($14 of electricity per year vs $1k if I only drive it 5k miles a year which I usually do now), and the golf's maintenance bill will just keep getting higher.
One less car on the road and one more light weight e-vehicle made over an ICE vehicle or Electric car who's footprint takes quite a few years of driving to start to offset.

It seems like a complete win but I have to decide if I have the time needed to double my drive time anywhere and if I can figure out a way to make me feel safe enough to drive it or park it in Philly.
Unlike my golf which no one wants to steal except for the catalytic converter, this will stand out big time. I know how to secure parts that could be removed like wheels, and to start the thing requires a key, just worried about it being picked up and carried off, which can be done by 2 people with a truck very easily, as I had $2k vino scooter I loved that got stolen that way the one night I forgot to chain it to something.

It wont happen until next year but hopefully I can figure out those issues. The theft issue being the biggest one. I can probably convince myself double the time anywhere is worth it, but getting stolen and having been robbed before is a huge psychological barrier.

To buy the weird-ass-sized tire rim I need for my #RadCity #eBike, I’ve been forced to order from #AliExpress. It’s seems dodgy at best, but needs must.

But, I created my account with #SignInWithApple, and I paid with #ApplePay, and I hope that’s put a big enough abstraction layer between them and me to make this reasonably secure.

Fingers crossed.

And, I might get my rim in October.

I have averaged around 60 miles per kWh on my Radwagon4. But I decided to check my wife’s Tern HSD and she got 115 miles per kWh! Lots of factors involved. She’s 50 lbs lighter and her bike is ~25lbs lighter. She doesn’t have a throttle. The tires are narrower. Her regular route is flatter and she probably goes at a slightly more modest pace. Slightly less wind resistance. Does having a mid drive with torque sensor and higher quality motor help much?

I decided to sell my original #LarryVsHarry #Bullitt cargo ebike and replace it with their larger model, the #BullittX. My kids are older now and don’t fit in the original any more, while the new one could realistically hold an adult passenger, or a lot more cargo. I loved the old bike and love the new one even more.

Sunak's Net Zero surrender is bad, but the previous plan wasn't enough. When it comes to cars, it isn't enough to just replace every petrol & diesel with an EV.

That would still give us air pollution (from tyres), congestion and road deaths.

Instead we need more e-bikes, public transport, car clubs and car hire.

Lots of people will still need to own a car - that's fine. But many won't, and they'll save money as a result.

There was a meta-study (I have lost the reference) that showed people tended to go about 1.4x longer for "standard detour" on road travel vs a straight line between points

Using the tested range of your e-scooter/bike, you do this

radius=range*(1/1.4)

That radius can be used to draw a circle in Google Earth and you'll have the points you can reach on your device. apx

Halve the radius and you'll have the points you could go to and come back from. apx

Today in #ebike questions I want to know about AirTags. I got a bottle cage that has a more subtle spot for one, instead of what seemed like a Big Obvious Bump where it would go. I have also seen many other options for where to stash one, and something from a place called Knog that uses Find My but isn't an AirTag at all. Do you have a tracker for your #bike ? If not an AirTag, what is it and where do you keep it?

Ook ben ik benieuwd of jullie kopen of leasen.
En wat het jullie ongeveer kost of gekost heeft.

I'm starting to do some #ebike research. I'm looking for a decent (ETA: class 1 pedelec) commuter bike, suitable for a shorter person, with a battery from a reliable, well-known brand. I'd prefer it to have integrated lights, fenders, and a rear rack, and be reasonably maneuverable; I test rode a Gazelle once, and it was fun but also *very* heavy when stopping and starting. And I want to stay as close to $2k USD as I can.

Any recommendations, #BikeTooter ?

@marcprecipice @ascentale #BikeNite A7. Random things do occur but every time I see one of these events I wonder if the user wasn’t charging their #ebike batteries properly. Like how you shouldn’t charge your phone on your pillow due to fire risk, you need to be cognizant of heat distribution with these batteries. Don’t stack charging batteries on or near each other or in a poorly ventilated place, if they get hot don’t charge them at night or when you aren’t home.

"The incentives will provide rebates & lending library/ownership programs so it’s easier for people to try or buy e-bikes. With their boost up that hill & their help for tired legs hauling kids and groceries, e-bikes can replace car trips for many people. An adaptive e-bike or trike can extend mobility for someone with a disability that makes it difficult or impossible to walk very far."
