To anyone else out there with an Engwe ebike or any bike with a cheap fender: If your fender is not designed with breakaways on the mounts, you should either remove it entirely or replace the bolts with 5-10 lb zip ties to create your own breakaways and prevent a serious crash.

https://engwe-bikes.com/cdn/shop/products/Ep-2pro_5c418549-daf2-4cda-8994-6e4ac361cb9b.jpg

What happens is, if the fork mount fails and the front fender does not have breakaways, it wraps around the front wheel and sends you over the handlebars (quite possibly at great speed).

Engwe 100% does not care, did not cover my medical bills, replace my $300 helmet, warn their other customers, issue a recall, or even bother to fix the underlying issue.

To be clear, this fix literally costs a couple of zip ties. That is how little they care about their customers.

If I had not been wearing a quality helmet, my Engwe likely would have killed me or left me with life altering injuries.

If you're looking for an inexpensive ebike, don't buy Engwe. Get an REI Co-op, Ride1up, or Lectric. Any semi-reputable brand is a safer choice.

Also, as always: Wear your helmets every time! Be safe out there everyone.

I am looking for a replacement for my car due to a recent disability that made it difficult to use my right leg.

i currently have an electric bike, and that has worked wonders in being able to get around, but i can only go ~7-10 miles away from my house - in the suburban sprawl of southern california, this isnt even enough to go to my closest friend's house.

i feel unsafe driving (trouble pressing the brake hard enough if needed beyond one-pedal driving), and i am looking for a vehicle that

  1. doesnt require the use of my foot/feet (big problem in my toes, so no toe shifting)
  2. can carry my wife, groceries, and/or both
  3. has a range of at least 100 miles
  4. can be ridden on the freeway
  5. (not required, but would prefer) electric motor instead of gas-powered

i had the idea of an electric motorcycle with a variable transmission and sidecar, but i have been unable to find anything like that on the market. i dont really know anything about motorcycles - i have never driven one but i am willing to learn.

i understand my needs are a bit odd, but i was wondering if anyone had some insight or any recommendations i may not have thought of to get around.

thank you!

We're a little late to the party on this one, but this folding electric Long John is definitely worth a closer look. The E-Fold comes from a German startup and was born of the founder's frustration with trying to get his ride on public transport.

We've come a long way since the leather helmets that my grandparents (and maybe yours, too) wore, but there's always room for improvement.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
