psychosomatic: adjective, ˌsī-kō-sə-ˈma-tik of, relating to, concerned with, or involving both mind and body e.g., when your mind gets used to ebike assistance and you turn power down or off and your body has to work more and you assume there must be motor drag rather than just a need for...

your husband is a wise man ;)

Back when men were men and stems were long. . . and used 1” quills and clamps for 25mm bars 🤣

@IndigoUnicorn - more Dashie love coming at ya

has worked fine for years on motos and bicycles

@TQmotorguy - @Julie_X1 has it right. I have/had a Vado SL, Levo SL, and a Creo SL (yes, I’m a bike whore). The SL motors whine, whereas TQ motor is whisper quiet. Power is about the same, but the TQ comes on stronger earlier so it feels more torquey at lower cadences. I like that! However...

🤣 For sure, we’re wimps here in SoCal when it comes to wet weather. A bit of fog on the coast and we whine and hibernate. That said, it’s been a wet winter. Los Angeles has received ~30” rain in our four month rainy season Dec-March (compare that to London’s average of 23” over 12 months). Some...

Death Valley Daze Seems it never rains in southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours (Albert Hammond) Winter storms brought an unusual amount of rain and snow to...

@jnolasco1 - If you like your La Sal Peak enduro you might take a look at Fezzari’s new Timp Peak, a similar 170mm bike but with a motor. You can even buy just the frame/motor/ battery and transfer your La Sal parts. https://fezzari.com/products/timp

Stans and a pair if small pliers/vicegrips are required in the dez when “jumping” cholla are around

Jeff at Worldwide Cyclery caught on Valentines Day

With those low settings my battery would run out before the Trek’s battery 😂

Dynamite 🧨 would work! or you could take thirty seconds and remove the crank arm

You'll have to experiment with different settings to find what works best for you in terms of fun, range, etc. Some of like to set max assist at full power so the motor continues to reward your effort at whatever assist level you choose.

It pains me to see that in this day and age there are folks that remain so uninformed that they don't know the difference between "weather" and "climate". Let's get back to pics and discussion of this season's effects on California (or other) mtb trails.

This thread was supposed to be about the effects of this winter's heavy rains on trails (in California ). EMTB is not the right forum to discuss climate change theories. Let the kooks post their nonsense on Twitter.

This thread has drifted off the rails. I realize that ebikes have motors,, but discussion about what are commonly referred to as “motorcycles” probably belongs in another thread if not another forum. Interesting stuff, but . . .

Another “70+ bone breaker” here, a few years older than the OP. Thankfully, a few less bones broken and most of those were in previous cars or on/off motorcycles. As for MTB here’s a lovely pic of me back around the time of my 70th birthday following an over-the-bars incident. The photo was...

Spring preview, Chino Hills State Park canyon should be nice but the single track . . .

Hydrascape Stickers - they have the 3x25" size we used and a 2x10" size for water bottles. You can see the full decals on our bikes in post #89.
