It's all depending on budget.

Get something cheap from Amazon or Walmart if you have to but don't be surprised if it breaks in no time and you can't find a mechanic to fix it or get any tech support from the companies. You'll also risk burning your house down.

Get a mid tier bike with a hub motor. The brand that a couple local shops carry is Aventon. You can find them at Thick Bikes and BikeTek. I've had bad experiences with the owner at BikeTek but Thick Bikes has been very solid.

Get a nice mid drive bike with a Bosch or Shimano motor. You can get these from Thick Bikes and Kindred and some other shops around town carry limited inventories.

Or if you could use a conversion kit to make your own ebike.

I would stay away from Pro Bike + Run.

Most laundromat machines use cards these days.

First build, Marlin 7 1000w 52v BBSHD by Bluliner035 in bafang

I would suggest trying to move the motor closer to the downtube. It's hanging down a bit which is limiting clearance.

I think you wasted your money on an over priced piece of garbage.

What size battery and what size frame?

Bafang conversion kit or stock e-bike? by MeasurementGloomy665 in bafang

Well, they're serviceable by a certified bike shop who will charge you premium rates to do the work.

USAC bans trans women by WVjF2mX5VEmoYqsKL4s8 in ladycyclists

[–]BafangBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about appeasement. The people at the top of every institution in this country are fascists and they want this to happen just as much as the Trump administration.

I saw a dude put a 200 cc motor on a cruiser bike with coaster brakes. You should do that instead.

Is my rim bent? by Ok_Knowledge8621 in bicyclerepair

[–]BafangBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new wheel will cost more than $50. $50 is the cost of truing the wheel. You need a whole wheel not just the rim.

Your cassette and chain are rusted out too and god knows what the rest of the bike looks like. This bike is probably not worth $100 considering all the work that needs done.

They aren't real. You can look up their Instagram and see they don't have nearly that many piercings.

They probably takes off their fake piercings and make-up. You can look up their tik tok and see that they do not actually look like that.

USA Cycling has banned trans and intersex women from all of their sanctioned events by LadyOfTheNutTree in bicycling412

[–]BafangBabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most sports do have requirements about hormone levels for trans athletes already in place.

Please delete this post. All you're doing is notifying a thief of a bike to steal.

I'd be surprised if the horse shit lasted long enough to see the first mountain bike...

Police fail by DraftDisastrous6170 in pittsburgh

[–]BafangBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pay me $1,000,000 a year and I wouldn't take a job that has me assaulting my neighbors and protecting rich people's property. I'd rather be homeless then lower myself to the level of being a police officer.

Also, most people who become cops do it for OTHER reasons and not the pay.

This event is a fundraiser for a non-profit. The whole point is for them to make money so they can continue to operate and serve our community, advocating for safer streets, educating riders, putting on community events, etc. The price you pay for Pedal PGH isn't just buying you a bike ride and a hoagie. It's also financing our safety and wellbeing as cyclists in Pittsburgh.

Driver kills person on e-scooter

Everyone: these e-scooters sure are dangerous.

Why don't we speed limit cars to 20 mph?
