    Dji avinox- Amflow

    I just saw this: Amflow PL Electric Mountain Bike - Power to the Peak - Amflow (United Kingdom) so apparently the plans for a US portal are well underway. (It says UK but on the actual site in the link it says United States)

    Dji avinox- Amflow

    Well that is the price for earlier adoption at this time? It appears to be the only brand available and no doubt some other brand will pick up on the Avinox for the 2025 season but as yet to be revealed. The fact that it is available on Alibaba is like if it was on Amazon here in the US much...

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    "The rather more "liberal" attitude in the US ...or in some US states, is what is causing the problems of access etc." The USA has had specific eBike laws of 750w/20mph/throttle on the books for years. The emergence of their popularity across the pond led manufacturers to mainly follow the EU...

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    The slickrock trail that put Moab on the mtb map was pioneered by Honda 90 motorcycles and the area in general gets overrun by motorized off road vehicles as well. Sure the likes of Robem and Billem, Matty, Kim etc. have had good success bringing bicycles to the table there and lots of hard work...

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    I have to laugh at how the BLM and the Forest Service view eMTB's while they allow such heinous shenanigans by ranchers, miners, loggers and the oil industry on their lands......Good luck with getting this through but for sure I wouldn't let it keep me off the trails.

    What tires are you running this winter?

    I have always had good luck here in the OR with WTB rubber. Just ordered up a fresh set for winter consisting of a 2.5 Verdict for the front in 29" and a 2.5 Vigilante in 27.5 for the rear. Seeing as how they are based in Marin you should support local business!

    Teaser for Shimano to Bafang M600 conversion 🤫

    I would recommend contacting [email protected]. I turned a friend of mine that has an eBike store onto him and he now spends over $20k a year with DT he told me the other day. He told me a tale of how he speced a battery based on the customers battery shell dimensions and they made a pack...

    TIP needed - How to remove the spider locking nut from M510 (I got the tool)

    Lefty tighty and Righty loosey for that nut. That tool does look sketchy also? The one I have has a 1/2" drive and I hook it up to my cordless drill.

    Hi from Oregon (Willamette Valley)

    Bill, I am quite familiar with Jones bikes and his particular, and somewhat peculiar philosophy regarding bicycles over the years and can't say I've ever personally been a fan. While I am glad you have found your forever bike it seems the fact that he is taking Bafang DIY systems and tacking...

    Pic of the Day

    Didn't even have to ride my bike to gather these Lobster mushrooms, they were in my neighbors yard up the hill! They are a very dense mushroom and the ones shown weigh 3-4lbs. total I would guess? Sliced thin and fried in some bacon fat is my go to for cooking them. After cleaning of...

    Answered Goggles?

    I could barely keep goggles from fogging in negative temps while skiing and can't see any reason to use them on a bicycle. Plenty of sport glasses available, I use Oakley Sutro's these days, with a plethora of styles and lenz options. There are also several options for sweat retainment in the...

    Hi from Oregon (Willamette Valley)

    As a fellow ORtucky resident, and older as well, out on the coast I would suggest that if you want a lightweight eBike you just ride the one you have that is without a motor and battery. Just embrace the fact that eBikes have them and are going to weigh more and go for one that has some oomph...

    What am I missing by not updating my 3-year-old EP8?

    All you are missing is the excitement of buying a new bike. Think back to that aspect three years ago and see if that is worth the money you will spend? I am the same age and have been agonizing all week about getting one of the on sale Yamaha bikes because I have been considering getting a...

    If you couldn’t ride bikes anymore…

    I have said for years that I probably will end up on a trike and pooping in a diaper again before it's my time.

    If you couldn’t ride bikes anymore…

    You might try a gym membership? From what I see on social media there are some good views there. We have a pretty good one at home but the mirror in there isn't all that revealing. As far as salmon fishing goes the very idea of catch and release is lost on me. Catch and sell or eat has always...
