The key is finding the right type of mirror. I would not be without mine. You can get one that mounts into the end of your handle bar or one that mounts on it.(motorcycle style) The bestbet isto head to you local bike shop for suggestions and proper mounting.

Further to your post, I used low or medium assist most of the time. I only put it on high for the steep part of the journey. As far as the motor goes, you would probably need to stop and cool down long before the motor. I have never heard of heat being an issue for any modern hub motors. On...

If it had a 16ah battery, 60 miles is certainly do able. The 10ah battery easily achieves 30 to 35 miles. I rode an eagle for about 5 months. I weigh 15st 8 and traveled 15 miles round trip a day over some hilly areas. I tried many times to get three trips in but always fell short by about 4...

That problem completely slipped my mind. I did have vehicle, at one time, that exhibited those symptoms and it was indeed the anti sway bar bushings. They were easy to replace and it happened twice during the time I owed it. It was a rear wheel drive car and the bushing were bad in the front. It...

Place your knee on the bumper of the noisy side and vigorously bounce the side of the car up and down You may hear it. When you push down with your weight and release the car, it should come partway up and stop. if it comes all the way up and even bounces a bit more, your strut is worn out...

Have you considered that it may be your strut is worn out or the rubber strut cusion at the top of the strut tower. If the car has 90k and they are the original struts and mounts, it may be time for new.

All these vehicles are breaking highway code163. I had a car hauling a trailer pass me yesterday. The car was way too close and then the box of the trailer brushed my sleeve. There was no oncoming traffic and plenty of room to pass safely. I should have been able to send that video to the police...

One of the biggest problems I see both in my personal cycling and many, many videos on youtube is drivers using their vehicles as weapons. Even with video proof, police seem to do very little to properly charge, fine or imprison dangerous drivers that cause serious injury and death. There was...

Two members have different views on charging cycles but I am not saying they are wrong. I work selling a number of different brands and this is the training I have recieved. I have never had a battery manufacturer tell me what is the correct proceedure for maximizing battery life however.

My only concern, when commuting by bike, is to arrive safely. However, in my almost daily 15 miles something happens that has the potential to be an incident. Either by the actions of a driver or brain dead pedestrian, too involved in their phone to look where they are going, I am constantly on...

The life of a lithium battery is based on charge cycles, typically 700 to 1,000 or there abouts depending on the type. It is my understanding that everytime you chage you are using up one of these cycles. So to maximize the life of your battery, you should let it go down as much as you can. A...

I have seen a few threads similar to this one. It leaves me wondering why there is a need to know how to calculate this type of info. It seems to me that once you have ridden your bike over a consitant distance, on the same route and with the same rider input you soon get a very good idea of...

If you go to techmoan.com he does excellent teviews on a wide range of cams. Mine, a choice based on his review, was the JCV200. It did everything the review said. There are cams cheaper and more expensive. You can choose what is in your budget and needs. I have my camera handlebar mounted so...

I make four or five trips to and from work every week, on my ebike, covering up to 75 miles. My video collection of near misses and interactions with thoughtless, inconsiderate, and dangerous drivers grows. I have gone to both companies and authorities with some success. In all cases I was more...

Two things: 1- It appears that your caliper is not centred correctly or the non wearing pad is not adjusted correctly. 2- As it seems that only a portion of the pad is worn, again, it seems the caliper may not be mounted with the right mount (too high). Or you need to go to a larger diameter...

A trip back to the dealer should answer your question quickly. Failing that, there are a couple of ways to check yourself. - Pick up each end of the bike and spin the wheels to see if the brake blocks are rubbing. - Check type pressure. Inflate to 60 to 65 psi. - Flip the chain off of the front...

A Freego Hawk or Eagle with a 16ah battery (50 mile range) would be an avenue to explore.

Wheels, like every other part of your bike, should be subjected to routine inspection and maintenance. I have a BH City 700 which I use to commute 15 miles daily. I have had a broken spoke which happened in the first 100 miles. Since then I check them about every three months. Some times there...

Indeed!

For general use, trikes described by flecc, probably are not realistic. However there are probably many select and lucrative areas where a trike of custom design would be feasible. These "low hanging fruit" areas are probably the ones most contested by cabbies. The very fact that operators are...
