I'll be riding mine too. Haven't gotten out sine the leaves started to fall. Has nothing to do with the bike. If I had a convertible I wouldn't be riding in it top down either.

I just rode mine down to the other end of town to pick up muh pickup. Although the streets were packed snow this morning, they have mostly melted--I rode over 2 snow patches. It had warmed up to 44 degrees, almost shorts weather. Mechanics like to look at yer e-bike and ask questions. The constant unanswerable question is How Many Miles Do You Get Before Yer Battery Runs Out? I patiently explain all the variables. We discussed what it will take to ride to Conconully and back. I plan to find out in warmer weather.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

It looks like Luna Cycle finally released the Apollo last week. Nice looking bike with a lofty price tag. Seems they are already sold out of the first batch.

I recently had our family bike (Surly Big Dummy) boosted with an e-assist from Bike Swift in SLU. I got the Meridian rear hub drive. It's been awesome getting around South Seattle with the kids.

At these prices I'm going to have to get a payment plan. eek.gif

Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping I may not have anyone rocking my world right now but, I don't have anyone messing it up either.

Or stick to your budget. When I hear payment plan I am reminded of this SNL skit:

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread, does anyone have recommendations for a good E-kit for an existing bike? I would like to install it onto my Trek 6000 mountain bike that I picked up at a yard sale for 20 bucks...all I had to buy was a seat post, that was like 20 bucks, lol. I see that there are kits ranging from a couple of hundred to 1k...and some are rear wheel drive, some front. I definitely want a kit with a lithium ion battery and want to spend around $500.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

You can have my kit e-bike for free. Never finished building it. Just taking up space in the garage. https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=712118#712118

Just ordered mine. I've been looking at buying the parts for this exact same bike for the last year but was gun shy of ordering overseas and putting it together myself. It would have cost around $5,000 just for the parts so this really is an amazing value proposition from lunacycle. I'm not sure how many they are going to extend for the pre-order but their stuff usually sells out pretty quick so if you are interested in a super stealthy and light e-mountain bike that will run circles around bikes costing twice as much with wimpy EU compliant motors this is the ticket.
