    Help! The olde frame size question

    So I’m pretty much settled on a Haibike Alltrack 6 hard tail. But I’m struggling with frame size. I’m 5 11” with about a 33” inside leg. Overall though I’m pretty average size wise everywhere else. My selection is M or L. But I’m concerned about feeling stretched out. And getting neck or...

    Help! Tern HSD S8i

    Help! Tern HSD S8i

    Won't be long before they're doing this to off road e-bikes too

    What I find odd is more than once I have encountered riders on unassisted bikes doing around 17 to 18mph. Good on em I say. And then I wonder why ebikes were restricted to 15.5mph. I have seen this argument come up a few times on the tinterweb. Am I being naive or am I just mis informed.

    New Tern HSD S8i owner

    Yes when I first got it the house insurance called for a sold secure gold lock and until i had one it was living in the kitchen. We live almost in the middle of nowhere and never had a bike stolen but I was taking no chances.
