I'm putting an electric bike together to use for commuting. It's a Trek 820 with a Currie USPD motor. I love to ride, but I have hills that would make a...
Well, the electric bike runs great, has lots of power, and climbs well.... BUT it doesn't have enough range to get me to work. What a bummer, the claimed "avg...

Interesting article about an interesting subject. He doesn't appear to have refined his trailer that much yet however. I mean it weighs 190 lbs empty. That's...
Two points, first is the trailer, the 190lbs was the trailer, PV cells, batteries, and all the bracing and plywood built onto the trailer to hold the PV cells....

I don't know. I can't help but think that it is possible to make a very small and efficient gas engine. I suspect that the only reason it hasn't been done is...
Small gas engines are already fuel efficent, you can get 150 mpg with no problem. The problem with small engines is the pollution, they are very dirty. Two...
I'm sure you could get 150mpg fairly easily, but I suspect motor driven bicycles would actually be capable of something more along the lines of 1000mpg. I used...
I have a Super Cycle "Newport Cruiser". I know that it is not one of the best bikes out there, but I can say that it is VERY comfortable to ride. I would like...
I am looking into getting one just for fun. Target sells a Huffy cruiser for about 100 bucks. I used to have one when I lived on Capitol Hill back in the ...

I remember hearing about a recall on Huffys in the last year due to frames breaking and the rider getting impaled!! Not typical of course, but I'd never buy a...

Been commuting for abt 3 years now. Present commuter is a rigid 2 speed (42/32 X 18) based on a Raleigh M50 which does double duty as a mtn bike on weekends....
Well....<br>A coworker had her Trek 2100 replaced by trek last year because the frame was coming disjointed @ the topbar. Does that count? I think that this ...
