Harkley Snarkley sat on the wall, meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jill's pop held his 12 gauge on Jack while they waited on the preacher.

Let me know how you like the E-bike. I have been toying with the idea to get one as a "jaunt to town for groceries" transport.

I freaking love it. 9 manual gears, and 6 electronic assist gears. It starts out at 0, which is the regular bike with no power, except if you push the thumb button for a hill, etc. Then there's economy mode assist, then 1, 2, and 3 gear assist, then sport mode, then race mode. It's no problem to go 30mph in race mode assist. I figured out how to access different parameters on the display, and I set the max in race mode to 35mph. Don't know if I'll ever get it to go that fast or not though. They claim it's good for 80 miles per charge, but, you know how that is.Maybe in economy mode with someone who weighs 100 lbs. I did watch a youtube vide where a guy got 63 miles out of a single charge, with one bar left. Freakin' blast, I kid you not. Pricey, but fun.

They sure seem fun and useful at the same time. The electric dirt bikes are pretty popular here. Super quiet and incredible nimble. Much less likely to spook game or neighbors too.
 
Here's a few crappy photos of it.

Charging:



My first mods. I bought two rear view mirrors, but I'm too broad to see around me, due to the lcd monitor, etc, in m way. Had already taken the left mirror off:



So I added a handle bar extension, and added the lcd monitor, and mirror to it. I've also since taken the right mirror off:



The bike is a Juiced CrossCurrent X:





Here's the specs on it: https://www.juicedbikes.com/products/crosscurrentx
 
#@$@#$$€¢° :( Emergency maintenance woke me up to walk them through shutting down a water heater over heating now I am having trouble getting back to sleep
 
Got my bike trailer in Friday. Assembled, and took it for it's maiden voyage yesterday. Love it. It has a 130lb weight limit if you use it as a hand cart. (If you look above the luggage rack, you can see the handle.) Has an 88lb limit used as a bicycle trailer..Hope to do a camping trip in the near future.

Thanks man, should be fun, and useful. Reasonably priced. I'm going to do a few mods to it. Namely, add some pipe insulation to the lower frame, so the plastic container doesn't rattle so much. Rattle trap, for sure. I placed a 25lb weight in it, and it quieted down a lot more. The container is held down by the blue handled "clamps" on the sides. It has a waterproof vinyl top, that's held down with velcro. I may take a few measurements, and get a tote, or something similar with a plastic, domed top. I know the vinyl will fill up in the rain, as I saw a youtube video that showed that.
 
It's a trailer to carry the bicycle behind the motorcycle.

Like this, but wheels-on-wheels :

Had a cool old knife in my hands yesterday. USGI pocket knife that our Pastor's Father carried on to the beach on Okinawa in 1945 between age salt water and some abuse I could tell who made it but it seemed heavier than later model I have handled. It was important enough that Ron's father made sure Ron got it before he passed

80 miles without peddling? That's crazy! I could go most places I regularly go and get home... even with my full figured self...

I believe they are talking about pedaling, with electric assist.
