vea 💖went on my first joyride this year on the <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebike</a> and fucking loved it, ended up going over twenty miles! can’t wait for even warmer weather.. and maybe even sluttier fits? is that possible?<a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/transjoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a>

JakraAnyone an expert on <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebike</a> laws in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/westernaustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#westernaustralia</a>? Do you have to be older than 16 to ride en ebike? The 16 year old limit certainly applies to scooters and anything throttle controlled, but pedal assisted ebikes are explicitly not e-rideables. All the sites I have found with info seem to be conflating the two. So... is there an age requirement for riding a pedal assisted e-bike in Western Australia? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a>

jexnerFinally was ready for a ride, and so I took the eeb with the freshly replace motor out. The hills south of the Birstal had snow on them, but it was 17C over here. Really quite warm in the sun. <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eBike</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/AfternoonRide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AfternoonRide</a>

ken Tucky SwinsonI want an ebike, but am overwhelmed deciding what to get. I live in a rural area, so want a battery with range to go distance, Will use it for light cargo (art supplies), but don't want a big or heavy frame. Thinking along the lines of Aventon Abound or tern quick haul.

Dutch Barracuda🏳️‍🌈🛠☢️🌎♻️I'm discovering that unless you live in London, the UK is woefully lacking in ebike servicing. More over, the cost of servicing say a battery, is on par with buying a brand new one. And very few will even service a bike or battery that they don't sell themselves.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebike</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cargobike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cargobike</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a>

Dutch Barracuda🏳️‍🌈🛠☢️🌎♻️Help required. Radwagon 4 (2yrs old, daily use). Intermittent power failure (like 3 or 4 seconds) initially, now display (eggrider) shows a voltage drop from 54v to 21v in like ten seconds, then doesn't bother to turn on at all.Tested without motor, lights, and sensor, and various combinations. Even replacement stock controller. All with the same result. 40a and 5a fuses on battery all are fine.

Chu 朱It's unreal that the obstacle on getting an e cargo bike is lack of insurance.Existing home insurance will only cover up to $2k. I tried switching home insurers but no dice. I live in a century home and nobody will take it on if they weren't already insuring you. It occurred to me that if I'm having this difficulty, none of those bike food delivery people are likely insured.

cyberveganEDIT 19/2/2025 This is now fixed. To any <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebike</a> techs out there on the Fedi - My e-bike's controller seems to have failed, and whilst I can find oodles of cheap replacement units on ebay or aliexpress, they all have extra inputs or outputs that my original doesn't. A lot of the ones available online show the labels for the wires with nonsense wording like "1:1 get help sensor", "since the study", or "turn the line". I've so far failed to find any technical manuals or better details, and I need to get my bike fixed as I use it to get to work and shops. I *should* be volunteering at the local <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/repaircafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repaircafe</a> today, but I was going to ride up there... I can give details of what I have if anyone is able to help. Any suggestions, links, forums etc. would be really appreciated. Please boost for reach!Edit: adding <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> tag as suggested by <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@cymplecy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cymplecy</a> - thanks

Kate :verigold:Made it into work in almost one piece.Thankfully, the rain had stopped by the time i headed off, but I still had to pedal to go DOWN hill.I did get slightly brained by a large bramble branch that was sticking out from a hedge when I looked up at the wrong moment, though. So, instead of it glancing off my helmet, it met my forehead.I now have 2 tiny holes in my forehead.
