    The Rise of the Electronaut's

    Right now in the u.s. the electric bicycle market is infinitesimal, but my crystal ball sees a perfect storm brewing on the horizon. Fueling this perfect storm is a confluence of factors quietly happening almost unnoticed to the untrained eye. For starters there's a federal initiative...

    My Beach Cruiser

    Since it looks like I won't be getting new ski gear this year because my skiing buddy is going to be out of commission for this winter. I decided to turn my most comfortable bike into a super lazy man cruiser! I picked this bike up along with a matching green lady's beach cruiser both for $150...

    I want a Stealth Bomber, lord help me.

    I'm getting a disease, and it looks like the only cure involves buying a Stealth Bomber. There's only one thing stopping me from ordering one right now, and she's sitting over there on the couch eyeing me right now. This is what one looks like. They go 50 mph, and at that speed...

    Got my Magic Pie 3!!

    Now to put it all together. I thought the kit included a seat-post mounting rack, but one didn't come. Maybe the "RAK-2" was just the bracket.

    ebike lighting/12v accessories on the cheap

    With any electric vehicle, power reserves are of paramount importance - every watt counts. Lighting can be a power hog, particularly if it's spiffy halogens so they're often out of the question. Problem is while 12v DC lighting & accessories are plentiful and inexpensive... anything other than...

    Why buy an electric bicycle?

    Why would anyone buy an electric bicycle for $1,500-2000 when they could buy a nice store bought gas powered bicycle for around $600 or 700? Or if they felt so inclined they could spend $1,500 and get a really great gas powered bicycle. Legal issues? That's the only reason I can think of.
