In my backpack for pedaling. In the chest of my armor jacket for dh.
Would be nice to have it more handy like a bike mount, but concerned about crashing it and shekels handlebar space when riding with child on Mac ride.
Sorry for late reply... just saw this
Jacket not too hot. I wear it for moto and dh. I've worn it in 90f in he desert before... that was too hot no matter what... poured water on the jacket for evaporative cooling.
I don't have the links at hand, but search for studies done comparing ebikes to mountain bikes, social intrusion, and trail damage. Usfs and some other entities have performed such studies with results supporting ebike use on trail

My experience:
1) install was pretty easy especially compared to moto. I cheated and used a Motion pro bead buddy two and used the cushcore tool. Watch the cushcore video. I did it on the kitchen table...
This is exactly what I was afraid of. I gotta wonder what the engineering advantages were supposed to be.

Hilarious.. peed my pants a little :)
My wife on her ebike, and my daughter on a macride in my ebike ride a local trail system today with me. There are signs all over for no motorized vehicles. State of NY basically doesnt allow them; although this is changing in some municipalities. Stopped to...
Just ride. Pretty sure no one is going to enforce. You might get s few snarky comments in high and mighty places like Boulder or Park City, but you might get those comments anyway.
Most people in New York state ask me about my decoy and are intrigued.
The change is inevitable. Might as well ride
Yes for moto and dh. It is a lot to wear though. Great protection; have crashed multiple times and been unscathed. Stitching comes apart on forearms and axillary. I do not think the shoulders are removable; may be better options for solely chest and back protection. In would wear less if o...
It was a challenge. Much easier then mounting moto bib mousse or moto tubliss. Recommend watching the install video. The cushcore install tool helped. I used a Motion pro bead buddy 2; that helped too, but not necessary. Did it on our kitchen table ;) and lube is your friend. Johnson and Johnson...
