The seat may be too hard, soft, or slippery, causing soreness after riding. Automatic front and rear LED lights shine as soon as you power on the bike.

Front or dual suspension lets you ride over rough terrain while mountain tires provide the grip and stability you’re looking for.

This turned into a fun little side project, and I ended up with four sturdy, lightweight stakes. I cut them with a hacksaw, then clamped each one in a bench vise and hammered out a contour to prevent bending when pounded into the ground. To keep them organized, I used a rubber band made from… Continue reading Electric Bikes
