I just pulled info from some basic ebike (Freego F3) for the math. On standard mode you get 50 miles from the 1920Wh battery (there is an Eco mode if you want to get even farther). 3000 miles at this rate would equate to 60 charges of that battery (115.2 kWh) and the US average retail price for electricity is $.12/kWh.…

This ebike rider tracked their power usage over 4 years and found it cost them less than $5 for 4500 miles.

We are on year 5 of owning two $1500 Rad Power Bikes. No appreciable decline in range so far on our original batteries as we approach 2000 miles use on each. Our regular 16 mile hilly loop uses ~1/4 of capacity at 1 to 3 levels of boost (~70w to 250w?).

I’m not sure if you’ve ever ridden one before, but an e-bike feels like an entirely different mode of transport. I ride a normal bike often for exercise and recreation, but an E-bike makes you completely recalibrate your sense of when you need to use a car/public transit. You’re range for that sort of thing more than…

I hear what you’re saying but I think you’re being uncharitable by perpetuating the idea that e-bikes are for lazy or obese people. I see quite a few every day and it’s mostly couriers, tourists, and casual riders. I may spot a handful of obese people riding them on an average week, but they’re no different than any…

I’m all for being educated. What would be the more comfortable option for a high performance, lightweight (for an e-bike, mind you) bike that tackles both gravel/dirt and the pavement alike?

A guy in my cycling club bought a electric Giant Revolt, which is similar to this bike, and for a similar price. He bought it because he moved further from work, and the electric assist makes his 32km commute faster and easier. But he also likes destination gravel trips, so he wanted a proper gravel bike, too, that he…

My partner and I have owned these bikes for a year+. Full disclosure, we’re probably what you’d consider to be casual riders, no sponsored spandex or helmet rearview happening. But we’re active people, fit even, and spend a lot of time on the bikes in a variety of applications. Here’s what I’ll say, if you can afford…

That’s why today, like almost every day, I was back home done with my ride by 830am. Those people don’t get out at 630am. You sacrifice some sleep, but you gain a beautiful sunrise, empty trail, and opening hour for your local coffee shop.

That. Was. Terrible.

Couldn’t help but think of this when wondering what they do with the poo...

I have some Yakima mounts (for my shovel) on my FrontRunner rack. I just had to buy different bolts that would fit in the FrontRunner tracks. Cost $2

This is a weird take on a car enthusiast site.

Honestly this rack is nothing new. It’s just like the FrontRunner rack I have on my truck.  It’s also configurable using extrusions and has channels in every slat that you can add various accessories to (they have a lot just google FrontRunner Outfitters) 

How is this superior to Frontrunner racks, Yakima’s modular system or Thules? It seems like any other closed-ecosystem rack accessory.

The war on education rages on

Fuck these selfish assholes.

Prefer this version.

A remastered, higher-resolution version of this game would be so wild. You’d be able to see traffic coming a little bit better too haha
