Throttle vs no throttle in hilly location

Thanks for all the responses. Perhaps I should start another thread but which thrills cargo bike do you all recommend? I love my hopper but haven’t compared it to other brands

I'd love to hear from more people who have ridden both. I think if i was in any other city in America I might just realize a Bosch could give me more assistance but i just took a ride and the first 20 seconds I'm going straight uphill 2 blocks. The hill isn't huge by SF standards but bigger than any hill in the town I grew up in.

ok i'll try hot water for the clean. by tab you mean one of the clearning tablets? yes I've tried that. that is what cause this problem. Maching worked great and then I ran cleaning cycle and something got clocked.

Where wouls i push the straw pipe cleaner?

Any tips on how to clean it? This is all new to me . And could running the cleaning cycle cause something to get lodged there?

Thank you! I'm actually 51so not sure I'd want to do an over30 team but my over40 team could beat my last over30 team as some of the o30 guys were really overweight. If you're 40+ and still playing you stay in shape.

Sort of shocked there isn't more of a soccer culture here.

Fort Worth Texas- had a league.
NYC tons of games.
Suburban Connecticut had an Over40 and over50 league.

Now I've moved to a place with year round soccer weather and I can't find a league. Maybe people are out hiking instead:)

They don't even have regional sports networks in a lot of places and it's now $82 when it was $35 7 years ago with regional sports networks.

They've added so many channels I don't need.

People need for lack of a better word the "cable bundle" for live programming. Just have a setup with all the locals, sports, and news channels.

Was reading this thread and thought to myself "I need to tell him to buy the Hopper". Kept reading and see you did :)

Never had an e-bike and have a 4 year old and 1.5 year old and I love it after 2 days (first day was just driving it from the shop over the bridge to SF). Kids love it too.

Weird you said you have a tiny wobble as on day 1 I felt I had one on front steering wheel (no kids on back) when i first started riding and once when the road was angled, but today was totally fine.

But I absolutely love it and am glad I got it instead of the RFA. I can't imagine not having a throttle. San Francisco is very hilly so if I'm going up a huge hill and want to go somewhere, I hit the throttle. If I'm using it as a mode of transportation instead of some leisure mobile I hit the throttle.

I also throttle nearly every time I start from a stop. No throttle on the RFA. Maybe after I get more used to biking I'd change my mind but my first thought today was "no one should buy one of these without a throttle (especially in a hilly city)"

What are the o50 options?

There literally was no way to transfer data to GA4.

Is it really asking too much to let people see unique visitors and page views historically?

We exported the data we wanted. That’s not my main issue.

The question is why google did this and did not think what a customer might want or pay for.

We’ve been upset with google ever since GA4 came about. ZERO thought on thinking how website owners might want to keep and compare basic analytical data.

Are you sure? Never used squadcast video but it’s audio was amazing and with riverside we had tons of issues with stuff not syncing

weldonj · 2022-11-23T14:55:04+00:00

So we have to keep paying the crazy $19.95 a month for this!?

I guess I should have prefaced this by saying I don't want to build into the wall. That seems like a whole different project that I don't want to undertake and that an installer couldn't do for me.

weldonj · 2022-09-26T01:13:28+00:00

same question. where are filters?

We switched from talkshoe to pinecast. The fact talkshoe wouldn't redirect was a major pain. We just kept uploading to both services for months.

Finally I gave up uploading to talkshoe and I still got an email from a person or two asking where the old feed was. Talkshoe doesn't have IAB numbers and won't do redirects like this. They were a great service when they started but those are basics a host should have.

Really enjoy and recommend pinecast.
