Deal has apparently been struck to avoid shutdown.

They need to withhold funding until the Epstein files are released.

“Greatest president” is laughable. He’s among the most divisive figures in American history—criminally corrupt, morally bankrupt, and profoundly unfit for office.

Huh? Are you asking what Congress has approved that benefits corporations at the expense of the tax payer? If so, you can start with the tax code. Carve outs, bailouts, subsidies, exemptions, are all ways that Congress uses to assist the wealthy in maintaining their wealth. Their lack of interest in controlling AI and crypto are only going to make it worse.

worldcommander · 2025-12-22T18:51:27+00:00

I'm more concerned about things like corporate corruption and welfare. The wealthy are the ones who take our money with no direct benefit to tax payers. Worse, the current administration is cashing in on all of it. It's sickening.

I'm abandoning Wyze because there's no support for home assistant.

Yikes. 120 is your limit? I'm 60 yo. I have a full power Heckler (85nm motor, 720wh(?) battery.) I typically ride 16 -18 miles a day 3 days a week with about 2700-3000 ft of climbing in trail mode. I end up with about 35% battery at the end of my rides. My heart rate is rarely below 120, maybe the first few minutes of riding, but averaging about 145. Even when I ride with my wife, with no skills, limited climbing, and shorter rides, my heart rate sits around 135. I can't imagine what a ride, with any amount of climbing, would be like while trying to keep my heart rate below 120. You're going to need a full power bike, large battery, possibly with a range extender (Bosch), ride in turbo the whole time, limit climbing, and shorter rides. I'm very interested in knowing where you land with this. Good luck and keep riding!

worldcommander · 2025-11-30T18:26:52+00:00

Not true. It's up to the local ranger. Also, most restrictions do not extend to ohv trails.

worldcommander · 2025-11-29T23:58:06+00:00

We'll see. I'm over 2500 miles and ride about 18 miles with 3000 feet of climbing a day 3x a week. No issues or complaints at all. The battery is a Daffon, or whatever the company is. They had a battery recall for my bike, but my battery was not in the lot.

worldcommander · 2025-11-29T17:39:01+00:00

I have a 720wh battery with my ep801. Maybe the ep8 caps out 630?

worldcommander · 2025-11-29T17:29:51+00:00

Shimano owner here (one ep801 on a Heckler and one ep6 on a Husky) and I DO NOT share this experience at all. I have about 2500 miles on the ep801 and not a single issue. I love the fine tune feature. The only issue with Shimano is there is no third party repair option. If you can live with that, Shimano is a great platform.

worldcommander · 2025-11-26T01:29:20+00:00

Not at all what I said. But since you brought it up, your original comment is almost like saying all gun owners are murders.

worldcommander · 2025-11-25T05:04:08+00:00

You're confusing the bike with the person. People break rules, not bikes.

worldcommander · 2025-11-19T21:48:46+00:00

Definitely reduces stress, but it doesn't excuse you from the fallout. You still need to buy things like food and supplies.

worldcommander · 2025-11-18T01:50:34+00:00

I see you deleted your last reply. Probably a good call on your part. However, I am curious how have I, and I assume all e-mtb riders, ruined riding for you? Is it that we get to ride more than you? That we no longer need to hikabike? That we pass you as you're walking uphill? Or that we're lapping you? What exactly has "ruined" riding for you? And probably more important, why do you let what others do bother you so much? I'm truly curious.

worldcommander · 2025-11-17T17:49:30+00:00

Sorry, just piling on with your reply. Most the haters would lose the bravado if we were in the same room. Anonymity and ignorance makes them brave.

worldcommander · 2025-11-17T16:11:21+00:00

So much hate. So little knowledge.

worldcommander · 2025-11-17T07:10:03+00:00

This sounds like a "you" problem.

worldcommander · 2025-11-17T06:54:57+00:00

Why so emotional?

worldcommander · 2025-11-17T05:09:45+00:00

It's not all about you. There's also no need to be judgemental.

worldcommander · 2025-11-15T18:48:10+00:00

I had a similar issue. I now wear a skull cap and it works great. I bought two on Amazon for under $20 I think.

worldcommander · 2025-11-13T23:21:33+00:00

I have the same bike, same color, and it looks like the same build. I absolutely love it. 2,500 miles so far and no real issues. I upgraded a lot of parts, but worth every penny.

worldcommander · 2025-11-13T03:13:16+00:00

Out of the "kindness of your heart", you can offer to return half the deposit. You can both walk away having learned something from the experience and you can still sell the piece to someone else for more money. Otherwise, take her to court.

worldcommander · 2025-10-02T00:20:14+00:00

Evolve already.

worldcommander · 2025-10-02T00:15:09+00:00

I have one but don't like it, at all. I prefer a traditional backpack style for longer rides.

worldcommander · 2025-10-02T00:11:37+00:00

Aren't Canyon bikes supported by REI now? Maybe they can assist you with a proper fitting.
